Celebrate Bengali New Year at Voujon

Edinburgh's popular Bengali restaurant, Voujon, will be celebrating the Bengali New Year on Sunday 15 April with a traditional new year banquet at the restaurant. Voujon, which is renowned for its modern approach to dining with its minimalist décor and contemporary designer china, will be serving a three-course banquet featuring a variety of starters, curries and traditional puddings.

The restaurant owner, Salim Miah, said

"We celebrate the Bengali new year at home with a huge feast and lots of family. We wanted to recreate this in the restaurant, so we are offering a banquet similar to what we would have at home. It is full of all the colour and aroma of Bangladesh, and gives diners an opportunity to try a range of dishes."

Voujon combines its elegance and sophisticated ambiance with a colourful menu of freshly cooked dishes influenced by Bangladesh and Northern India. The new year banquet menu includes Chicken Kurma from a recipe passed down through generations, Shatkora Ghost and the tangy fish dish Macher Tenga, as well as vegetarian options such as Milawat Bhaji and Finni, and Roshor Gula for dessert.
