- Rannaghore Ke? is a fun adda with old and new friends about food, life and everything else. This is episode 8 with Rahul Arora, who ran the Bon Appetit cafes in Kolkata, which had branches in Hazra and Salt Lake, successfully for 13 years. He now bakes, and cooks small batches of curated menus on weekends.
In this episode, Rahul talks about his childhood, and growing up in a Punjabi household in Kolkata. Rahul is himself not at all an orthodox cook. In his curated Punjabi menus, especially, he demonstrates how food can be rooted in tradition and family history, and still have room for personal, modern, practical touches.
Enjoy the recipes Rahul teaches us: desi murga curry (with country-chicken), and a khatti-meethi pumpkin sabzi, which he then turns into a raita and a pulao!

I'm British and learned to cook in Kerala twenty years ago. I now cook desi Indian cuisine in the UK and have built a business around my passion for real Indian cuisine. Thank you for speaking English, very much appreciated. Great recipes and a very charismatic chef
I loved this from the word go. You could tell 2 seconds into it that Rahul is a warm, funny, knowledgeable, genuine, lovely character. And the Punjabi-Bengali combination was fascinating to watch. Loved what he said about LGBT rights needing to be in a restaurant’s internal memos, not just on social media.
And now he’s going to hate me for saying this … but it genuinely worried me to see how out of breath he was. Rahul if you’re reading, you’re too awesome to be this out of breath. We want to see you around for a long time.
He is such a great storyteller! He is breathing heavily - please take care of your health, Rahul.
If Rahul is reading this, then he should know that we really want Bon Appetit back in salt lake! The happiest memories of after school and tuition hours were spent there. What a walk down memory lane to just see him here on your channel. 🤍
We don't live there any more , so sweet of you to remember and keep us living in your hearts
This episode brings a lot of memories. I am meeting Rahul for the first time through your channel but Rahul's food is not new to me. I used to work at Salt Lake and his Bon Appetit cafe was right beside our office. I was fresh from village, new to the city of Kolkata and naive about the cuisine of sandwiches, pastas and even decorative noodles. :P
Price was affordable if we share the food among colleagues. And Rahul's chefs were generous in using cheese which made his cute, little restaurants an instant hit among us. Those were the days of innocence, less office pressure and pure friendship. Rahul's food played a silent role in making everything yummy and cozy then. Thanks for hosting Rahul. :)
I knew neither about Rahul nor about Bon Appetit before watching this video. Yet felt an instant connection with this heart warming episode and its 'hero'. Was glued to the screen for its entire duration. Thank you so much Bong Eats for bringing this to us.
P.S. Respect how you do not hesitate to promote what you believe in (no matter how high the stakes are) - be it your stance on CAA/NRC or your sensitivity towards the LGBTQIA+ community.
This was such a fun episode to watch 😃please bring him back on the show sometime
What an amazing guy. Loved listening to his experiences as much as his cooking.
Loved the devotion towards cooking food from start to the end, no short cuts❤
Rahul is not only a fantastic chef, but he's also an amazingly sweet and lively human being.
❤
The whole episode is so mouthwatering. And He is such a nice person. Loved the epoisode. So much diverse yet so much compact❤
সবথেকে সুন্দর এপিসোড রান্নাঘরে কে সিরিজে। কত কথা যে একেবারে আমার মনের থেকে তুলে নিয়ে বলা এখানে। খুব সুন্দর এপিসোড..❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad to see Rahul!! His cafe used to be our haunt during Presi days. I love every bit of his food. He brings tonnes of memories back. Love you Rahul.

This single episode has so much content, that I needed to watch it twice to catch every part of it
Rahul was my school senior, and my neighbor. His brother was my classmate! Good to see him again! :)
The chef talks so well. I would any day prefer him watching cook and talk. It's not even trash talk but everything what he conveyed has information about food and life in general.
We used to visit the Bon Appetit cafe in hazra back during our college and univ days, it was fab. Can't belv it's gone now. :(
The episode was really fun, keep them coming. :)

This guy…just goes on and on and on..even so you need to put a ‘fin’ on screen. And the fun part is we as audience are still listening to him jabbering away😂
I used to have a conversation with him during his early days in Bon appetite way back in 2008-2009. Rahul if you can , please bring back bon appetite. We really miss it
That's some new recipes, Thanks. 😃😋
দিদি, মনে হচ্ছে ইউটিউবের ভিতরে ঢুকে আপনাদের সাথে খানা-পিনায় জয়েন দি। অসাধারণ রান্না হয়েছে অসাধারণ বাবুর্চির সাথে, এই নিয়ে কোন সন্দেহ নেই।
I live near Hazra, Bhowanipur to be exact and all during my school and college life Bon Appetit was my go to place. I used to be a avid visitor up until it closed. I remember visiting the place after covid only to realize the outlet has shut down.. my tastebuds still remember the finger-licking taste of meatball pizza, chicken pockets, grilled sandwich and the oh-so delicious chocolate avalanche... Ahh, what a pity :)
This is one of the best episodes of rannaghore ke? ❤
We want more type of videos more often ! Please please please !! Different memories,different stories,different recipes that I want in my RUclips ! 🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻
Great food, but sotti bolle, loved the conversation around it. Felt like I'm present there.
We miss Bon Appetit so much.. Their Spaghetti with meat balls and chocolate avalanche were our favorites. So sad that they closed down.
Wow nice cooking. But chop korte korte chule e hath dicche ota ocd trigger korar moto 😂
He is an entertainer ...watched this 3 times
Bon appetite was our favorite place when we were in school. Uh, the heartbreaks getting healed over those delicious food. Our budgets were tight and it always had something for everyone.
A True Blue Cook. Location Agnostic Master of the skills. Full power boss 😊
Thou art the most articulate lads I have come across aloof of the disillusionment steaming across youtube

Oh my god, my entire teenage life was Bon Appetite, my first ever date. It's my fondest memory. I miss this place.

The cheese paratha of Bon Appetit! 🤤 I went to the one at Hazra, found that it was gone! Felt so bad!

Why did the Bon Appetite chain close😢😢😢😢😢... Please could you bring it back?
Bon appetite used to be our comfort place before lockdown❤
Excellent ...was so entertaining watching our chef ...bless you 😊
I was perhaps the saddest person when Bon Appetit shut down🥺. The chocolate avalanche was the best!!
Amazing episode. I just want you guys to be a little more frequent with the " Ranna Ghore ke".

Lots of ❤ u Rahul . Always be the way you are we really appreciate u and ur cooking as well 😊😊😊😊
What a lovely episode ❤
Awesome ❤ so happy to see this! Just love Rahul!
Thank you so much for cogently critiquing the pomposity of the capitalist gimmick that robs the significance of queer standpoint in many dimensions sir. Inclusivity and acceptance should come from the core of collective consciousness. ❤️ ❤️
sometimes if I put a little more heeng then the taste is very strong and even a little bitter I would say any tips around that? really nice episode btw
I'm a huge fan of your channel. Please upload some videos on South Indian dishes. Also, please upload the video on Chocolate Mousse.
Best ❤.
He is really awesome ❤
Thank you for such a fantastic episode ❤
