Dining Hall
Cuisine and Camaraderie

Lunching at the Bengal Club, in the spacious, sunny Dining Room, is a ritual that few Clubs in the country can match. People come to it out of choice, to savour the Friday buffet, the Wednesday Bengali fare and the four course meals on all other days. The white-gloved waiters know most members and offer a highly personalized service. There is an excellent range of à la carte dishes to choose from when you dine here, by candlelight. Special nights have been set apart to cater to the demanding gourmet members and Wednesdays see the serving of the most succulent steaks.

The Bengal Club is renowned for its culinary specialties like smoked hilsa and honey-glazed ham, its lobster thermidor and gazpacho soup and many a recipe which remains a jealously guarded secret. Christmas-time dinners feature turkey and cranberry sauce. Many private homes place their annual orders for turkey and ham, done to a fine turn.
