Aarhani Restaurant

This is an amazing place for food lovers. You need to order prior to have your lunch or dinner. They cook foods accordingly. Cordial behavior, delicious bengali thali and so nice ambience!! I loved this place. O would suggest at least one visit if you are looking for treat to your taste buds. Parking might be a bit difficult because of the narrow road. Overall, a must try.

The name of the restaurant has changed and it was difficult to ascertain the location as a result, but once we went there, it was an overwhelming experience.

Honestly, I was not expecting the food to be this good. But it proves that outside bells and whistles do not matter. The quality of food was really excellent. Items such as - chilli egg plant, methi chicken and mutton kasha were absolutely amazing.

The staff were courteous as well.

Few points of improvement I would like to add for the owners - to include Papad and one Dessert to make it one complete package.

Also, please note - you guys need to place food order one day in advance. Luckily for me the staff were courteous enough to accept my booking on the day itself.

Hidden gem of Shantiniketan. They don't promote that much, found out from one travel blog, tried and guess what, it was awesome.

Thank you for such a lovely food.

Out of all the good Bengali food I've ever had, Aarhani was hands down the finest home cooked bengali food. Everything was made in their unique style right from the aaloo bhaja to the bhindi to the prawns that was super light, not very oily or spicy, but full of simple and good flavours. Must visit! A professional chef/restauranter with us said it was the best Bengali meal he has ever had so that should work. Also, the lady running the space was very sweet and sincere. She looks after several stray pets she has adopted over the years and cooks because it's her passion. I think that's very special.

Super disappointed!
This fish was so so… Kashmiri Mutton was undercooked, vegetable not so good, dal was just boiled… overall a bitter experience.
Now a days, they don’t offer dine-in; only takeaways based on prior orders. The problem is, they do the entire service in a hush-hush way, because of some legal disputes with the land owner. And anything operating in a hide and seek way can not be good 👎🏻
They might be good, once they were serving, but, not good at all now.
Portion size is also quite small!

P.S.: Now a day, they do not even give bill/ cash memo… 🫤

This is the worst restaurant in bolpur and Shantiniketan area. We had ordered dinner and quality and quality both are very very bad. Just waste of money.
I recommend to avoid this restaurant

Amazing experience!
Was looking for a nice place for my birthday lunch at Shantiniketan and voila! found this hidden gem just few meters away from our stay. We had to book a day before and also pre order our menu.( which is a nice thing,less wastage of food). So please keep these two things on mind. Quite pocket friendly, we had ordered Rice,Shukto,Dal,aloo bhaja,mixed veg,Prawn dish,bonmurgir curry,and chutney. It costs INR 650/- for two people. Rest be assured you will definitely have a satisfactory experience. Its all homecooked food by the owner herself. She is so nice,welcoming and her food is amazing.Must try!! You are bound to fall in love with bengali food.

Must try their Kashmiri Mutton and Pork Bhuna with Paratha. Never had such delicate and delicious red meat preparation in my life. For Aaharni only i can visit Shantiniketan again n again.
