What people say, in short
Aaheli, the Bengali restaurant at Peerless Inn, is one of Kolkata's most consistently recommended spots, with many people naming it a go-to choice for Bengali cuisine and premium dining. Two diners single out the deboned ilish as excellent, and one who visited a couple of years ago found the experience very good, though that commenter generally finds upscale Kolkata restaurants underwhelming.
