Midnapore Restaurants

Midnapore is not particularly famous for any local delicacy. But, one local preparation, known as Gohona Bori gives the tiny town of West Midnapore something to boast of, i.e., a food item true and authentic to the Bengali cuisine. Gohona means jewellery in the local language and Bori means small round shapes (derived from Batika in Sanskrit). Like many local crafts, the craft of making these Boris is fast disappearing. But, some local cooperatives are trying to revive it by offering them for sale. Difficult as it might be to source it, a trip to Midnapore will be complete if you get to experience this authentic Bengali delicacy.
These beautiful, intricate jewellery like patterns are made from lentil paste, whipped out with the help of a small cone. The lovely and wonderful shapes of these Boris are enough to whet anyone's appetite.

If you prefer to eat from highly credible places, then eating at your hotel is the most trusted option. Midnapore, being a small town, does not have many eateries or food joints. You can find local Bengali food in and around the station area.
