Holiday memory — Mishti Doi that transported me back

I first ate Mishti Doi on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the spicy and tangy quality I remembered. panch phoron five-spice was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

hilsa fish is a cultural icon in Bangladesh — its seasonal availability is a national event. It was the a family Friday hilsa lunch memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. hot sweet tea was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
