What people say, in short
Bhojohori Manna is one of the most frequently recommended Bengali restaurants in Kolkata, with many commenters naming it a go-to for authentic, home-style Bengali food and thalis, and a couple calling it good on a low budget. One diner is partial to the chitol peti and daab chingri and would take family there. The caveats: one commenter says it used to be good but isn't sure about it now, another finds it pricey with taste not up to the mark, one says it serves overly sweet or oily versions of Bengali dishes, and another rates Oh Calcutta far ahead of it in quantity and quality. One diner who has been there wishes the ambience were better.
