Had my Dad's birthday dinner. All the food items were on point, especially the ilish is very fresh and well prepared. Beautiful ambience, bengali music, good food and beers along with warm hospitality, altogether it was a fantastic experience.

Visited Ilish Truly Bong Restaurant & Bar after reading the excellent Google reviews and it definitely did not disappoint. We tried several dishes, including Ilish Fish Finger, Dub Ilish, Pineapple Ilish, and Ilish Mughlai Biryani, and every one of them was delicious.
Vineet Nair
We were given a warm welcome and loved the traditional brass cups and plates. Starters of devil egg, fish fry and tandoori chicken were all delicious, delicately spiced yet flavourful. Main course was pulao and kosha mansho.
