Tribal food is pretty rare in big metro cities like Kolkata. And honestly, who eats tribal food here? In fact, forget about who eats them- let’s ask ourselves what do we really know about tribals in India. As per Google, there are more than 450+ registered tribes in India and Bengal has got quite a substantial number. And how much we hue and cry, let us be honest, that tribal food is not really very popular here, apart from some food pop-ups and mahua- the famed alcoholic drink. So, when I got to know that a new tribal restaurant has come up in New Town, Kolkata, I personally was pretty excited. This post is on our experience at Dhamsa- the tribal Kitchen.
Dhamsa is tucked deep inside the Eco Park. In fact, if you are frequent to the place, you need to get inside gate no 1 and drive for around 1.5 km towards the herbs garden and Golf course. Somewhere in between, after the nice marine drive (LOL), comes Dhamsa. Please check the location on Google Maps here.
The good part is, the pricing at Dhamsa is extremely pocket-friendly and at times, you can be surprised at how they are running the show. Please check the menu here. It’s clearly divided into two segments- the green-colored one is for snacks items and is named Godhuli Bela r Adda and the orange-colored ones are for the main course. The emphasis is on thalis, or set meals… but there are quite a few very interesting items. When we went, most of the items were available
