Monsoon in Bengal is incomplete without the arrival of the prized ilish, and The Dockyard Co. is celebrating the season with a specially curated Hilsa Festival that pays homage to this beloved fish. Rooted in tradition yet crafted with finesse, the festival brings together timeless Bengali recipes that evoke the warmth of home and the joy of sharing a wholesome meal with loved ones.
From the smoky, flavour-packed Ilish Macher Tel-Lanka and the delicately steamed Lau Patay Ilish Bhapa to the iconic Ilish Ullash simmered in a robust mustard gravy, every dish captures the true essence of Bengal’s culinary heritage. Guests can also relish comforting favourites like Kacha Ilish Macher Jhol Begun Diya, fragrant Ilish Polao, the richly flavoured Ilish’er Tel Jhal, the palate-cleansing Ilisher Tok, and the indulgent Ilish Thali, offering a complete Bengali feast on a platter.
Whether you’re an ardent ilish lover or simply looking to savour the flavours of the season, this festival promises an authentic monsoon dining experience that is not to be missed.
