Unlike other restaurants where the waiters politely take down whatever you order, suggesting only when asked, here the people are encouraged to assist the diners to choose the best from the menu, for a great culinary experience.
The menu is detailed and thorough, with
ample choices among appetizers, salads, mains and desert. The restaurant
doesn’t serve liquor, but there are some interesting sorbets and mocktails to
choose from.

The top pick in appetizers are the Vodka Soaked Prawns with Grilled Garlic Aioli, Joyous Mutton Chops, Lemon Chicken on Lemon Skewers and Chilli Pickle and Cheese Baked Crab with Kolmi Greens. This last item is a treat. Served in an earthen bowl, like the one on which ‘firni’ is served; it is delicious and you are left wanting more. There are some healthy options for salads, with lots of greens and it is served with garlic bread on the side. To wash down your food, try the refreshing Orange and Aaam Adaa Sorbet, or drink up a Sex on the Beach.

Everybody loves a round of dessert to wrap up and Bohemian excels here as well. They have a Malpoa Cheese Cake that is the talk of the town. If you are someone who is a die-hard chocolate fan, then the ‘Death by Chocolate’ will surely leave you stunned. The smooth luscious chocolate served in a Cognac glass, tempts you to try some more. You can also try Yoghurt and Kalojeera Brulee, and Gondhoraj Soufflé.

The only problem when it comes to dessert is that the portions are not the same for everyone, so you might be stuck with a diner who gets a bigger looking portion than you.
Bohemian adds to its culinary experience
with its hippy decor. There is a display of rock and roll posters in the front
while the walls have framed photos of tarot cards. The eccentric nature of the
decor is extended even to the loo; it has bright colourful walls with lyrics
from famous Bengali songs scribbled all over.

Bohemian
is a little over priced, with most of the food items priced between Rs. 150 –
350. A meal for two would cost you around Rs. 1300 (without taxes). A small
restaurant with a maximum capacity of 30-40 people, it is always recommended
that you book in advance.
If you want to
experiment with food, then you should surely visit Bohemian. Tuck into the
delicious fusion food and get in touch with your Bonghippy side!
