Aaheli

I think it is 3 star hotel. It is situated in Dharmatala. The location of this hotel is very good but the parking area is as not big as we expect. The restaurant is (Aheli) too much expensive but dishes are very good . The Bengali cuisine is overall good in side. The area is well connected with kolkata.

I am glad I decided to have dinner in this restaurant during our stay. We ordered a bengali thali and the food was to die for. The mishti doe, aloo posht and the fish was excellent. The ambiance was typical Bengali and I loved it. Service was exquisite. Would go again. The restaurant is within the hotel so within easy reach.

Based on our friend's recommendation, we visited this place and had Chitol Macher Muithha with pulao rice and Loochi Mangso. Manager Sanjeev is very helpful and patiently told us the food to try. We finished with delicious Mishti Doi. Food is great. This is a must visit place if you want to try nice Bengali food. I heard that their Bengali thaali is excellent. But we missed that.

Great traditional Bengali food!! Must visit for all foodies who want to sample traditional Bengali food! Staff is very attentive and great service.

It was family get together at Aheli and let me confess management and everyone at Aheli were so hospitable and the cuisine they delivered were just so authentic .. truly they are the pioneer of this particular experience . Food ,ambience were out of the place .. just brilliant is the word I have .. truly worth the money spent ..

Being from North India and almost inexperienced with Bengali cuisine, I went to this place with my fiancée as I have been hearing about it for quite sometime. We went there on a Monday afternoon so it was empty. They welcomed us with raw mango juice which was amazing. I dont consume Fish but when I had the boneless Ilish I understood why it is called the king of fishes. The dal , rice and the banana floret patties with red gravy was delicious as well. The service was great. Would recommend this place to everyone

We had gone on the occasion of my MILs birthday. Bangladeshi gestival was going on that time and menu was quite versatile. The staff helped with suggestions and we loved everything. It should be the place to taste authentic bengali food

We had a delightful experience at Aheli enjoying authentic Bengali cuisine. The hospitality was outstanding, with an extra mile from the staff to make our time special. The food was exceptionally good, and we had a wonderful time. Grateful for the excellent service and delicious meals!

Most delicious mouth watering Bhetki fish ever had.
First time in Kolkata and the taste of fish or chicken in Bengali Thali lived till next day.
The most remembered experience during West Bengal visit.
Every item in Veg Thali from the aroma of rice to Sandesh was 10/10.
We tried 1 Veg and 1 Non Veg Thali for Dinner. Although the cost is around 1500 per Thali yet DineOut offer saved us by 50% and turned the visit value for money.

Amazing ambience..calm...soft music you feel right place to enjoy with family..staff is very welcoming you feel happy after enter this place..i tried chicken pora pata this waa somethinh which i never have earlier a best starter i can say..basanti pulao, bhetki paturi, kosha mangsho,aam shotta chatni, aloo posto and misti doi with sandesh..i really love the food..great chef and great staff i must say

I had heard about Aheli in many food blogs and shows, and had planned to visit when traveling to Kolkata.
It was a very positive experience.
We went there as a large group and so we booked ahead. When we reached, our table was ready.
Service was excellent and special mention to Bipasha from restaurant staff, for great hospitality and being very patient with us while we figured out our orders.
My attraction was Aheli's thali and that's what most of us ended up ordering.
The spread was elaborate as I expected. I can't say that every single item on the plate was extraordinary but a few most definitely were.
My favourite was the Dhokar Dalna from the vegetarian items and the Ilish from the non-vegetarian items.
The sweet was also really good.

A suggestion that's purely my opinion: The thalis can be shareable. Extra luchi and rice can be made chargeable if sharing. Being more price effective may be able to draw more volumes while reducing waste.

Overall I highly recommend Aheli and will surely visit again when I am in town next.

I recently visited this place (Aaheli - The peerless inn) to witness their illish utsav.
Aaheli the bengali restaurant of the peerless inn, Kolkata is running a ilish utsav to celebrate the best of ilish preparation.
Before entering into this prestigious hotel, the staff will check your body temperature, sanitize your belongings and they will also check you via THe arogya setu app.
As being a non bengali i love illish so much that i can imagine how much you all bengalis will love this festival. Monsoon without illish is unimaginable.
Illish pulao(recommended)
The festival runs till 2nd October '20.
Price for 2 people ₹1600/-

During our visit to Kolkata from UK, we dined at Aaheli near Esplanade to have authentic Bengali foods along with some family friends. Our experience was excellent and service by the staff was amazing - especially Laboni, Ujjal and Kushal. They also arranged complimentary birthday cake and delicious rice-pudding for my wife's birthday without our notice.

HAD A GREAT TIME WITH PARENTS...... STAY AWAY FROM THEM.......MISS THEM A LOT ....A WONDERFUL REUNION AT THE AMAZING AMBIENCE AT AAHELI......... KAUSHIK SERVED US IN THE MOST WELCOMING GESTURE.......FOOD ALWAYS TASTES BETTER WHEN SERVED WIGH A SMILE....

If I talk of Bengali dishes that brings water to the tongue, the name that comes to mind is Aaheli. This is a restaurant situated inside the Peerless Hotel in the heart of Kolkata. The ambience and the decor is remarkable.All girls are clad in their traditional sarees and serving boys wear Punjabi and dhoti.The plates are of Kansa, a bronze alloy material on top of which comes the banana leave to serve your hot rice and others. The people are friendly, food is of top quality and the quantity adequate.

Food: If you love authentic Bengali cuisine, this is the place. Luchi with Kolkatar Kasha Mangsho was excellent in taste. We also enjoyed Basanti Pulao with Dab Chingri. The name of the dishes were as interesting as the flavour and taste. We have also tried Muchmuche Bhetki Cutlet and Chatokdari Jolpari (deep fried prawn) in the starter along with Anaraser Jeeramrito (Pineapple drink).

Price: very reasonable (around INR 1200 to 1500 per head for a moderately heavy meal)

Hospitality: We were welcomed by staffs wearing dhuti-punjabi and sari. Live Bengali music was not there due to COVID pandemic. The food were served in clean copper utensils, which will give you the feel of Maharaja.

Ambience: Decoration with Durga idol will give you the feel of Durga Puja during this pandemic, in absence of pandal hopping.

Safety: Social distancing was maintained. Staffs were wearing mask and gloves. Hand sanitizer provided at the entrance.

Overall impression: We enjoyed the Saptami dinner at Aheli and we recommend our friends to visit at Aheli safely.
