[@desiangrezifoodie]

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.

[@debanjannag1272]

He is such a great storyteller! He is breathing heavily - please take care of your health, Rahul.

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.

[@jishnubatabyal]

What an amazing guy. Loved listening to his experiences as much as his cooking.

[@priplanned]

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. 🤍

[@rahul.arora.1982]

We don't live there any more , so sweet of you to remember and keep us living in your hearts

[@Maniniramdas]

This was such a fun episode to watch 😃please bring him back on the show sometime

[@meAK2403]

Loved the devotion towards cooking food from start to the end, no short cuts❤

[@sinthiasaha8519]

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.

I made that Khatta Meetha Kaddu Ki Sabji/Tok Mishti Kumror Torkari/Sweet and Sour Pumpkin Curry today. I also added hing as he mentioned. Seriously it turned out so good. Thank you! Very simple yet delicious

I would love to grab a ladle of that Sabzi with 5-6 fulko luchi 😅😅😅 and definitely will try the recipe of "Pepper Chicken Bhuna" next weekend. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Beautiful beautiful Bong eats ❤❤❤❤

[@durba-718]

This single episode has so much content, that I needed to watch it twice to catch every part of it

[@paramitachoudhury6177]

[@chandanbanerjee1968]

I know I watched it way later, still bolte chai je loved every bit of it. Rahul da is amazing, funny, knowledgeable and an excellent cook..please take care of yourself. We want more from you

[@SuperPirate18]

I can ignore the fantastic cooking and just listen to Rahul talk. Give the man a podcast already!!

[@KolkataFoodWalks]

We miss Bon Appetit so much.. Their Spaghetti with meat balls and chocolate avalanche were our favorites. So sad that they closed down.

[@medhasreetalapatra4304]

This was easily the best rannaghore ke episode! ❤

[@bhumikaudernani3043]

Thanks for bringing to us such a heartwarming episode. The pumpkin recipes look delicious. Will try!

[@SambitTarafdar]

Wow nice cooking. But chop korte korte chule e hath dicche ota ocd trigger korar moto 😂

[@aritrobhattacharjee2669]

I absolutely loved this episode, awesome recipes, fun and learned so many things. Rahul is such an awesome chef...❤

[@babaiandbobo]

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 :)

[@rubenadas]

I ❤❤❤❤ this episode. It just felt so humble and straightforward cooking. Rahul Arora was a great guest. Thank you Bong Eats.

[@footytraveller]

Rahul was my school senior, and my neighbor. His brother was my classmate! Good to see him again! :)

[@sudeshnaTrivedi]

Why did the Bon Appetite chain close😢😢😢😢😢... Please could you bring it back?

[@ummammaar5766]

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.

[@Nazia_the_music_lover_]

দারুণ দারুণ!! আরও পর্ব আসুক রান্নাঘরে কে-এর।

[@donapalit-ge1mf]

[@AA-rs8bu]

Good to see some kolkata non-bengalis and good ol' Punjabi food. Rahul Arora is such a good storyteller!

[@Eshapanditbornfree]

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.

[@abhishekchakraborty982]

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

[@moumitabiswas1801]

It was so nice to listen to his story. Fantastic episode ❤️

[@shayondebroy]

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

[@gouravcullen6779]

That's some new recipes, Thanks. 😃😋

[@ankitabhattacharyya2441]

I was perhaps the saddest person when Bon Appetit shut down🥺. The chocolate avalanche was the best!!

[@anishaghosh1987]

I love how the video is unfiltered and raw❤❤🙌

[@sayanibiswas4383]

Bon appetite used to be our comfort place before lockdown❤

[@avikroychowdhury1107]

Loved the Pride and Publicity part, very well said. ❤

[@swarnavabishnu8800]

This is one of the best episodes of rannaghore ke? ❤

[@ChandanDas-cp5sd]

দিদি, মনে হচ্ছে ইউটিউবের ভিতরে ঢুকে আপনাদের সাথে খানা-পিনায় জয়েন দি। অসাধারণ রান্না হয়েছে অসাধারণ বাবুর্চির সাথে, এই নিয়ে কোন সন্দেহ নেই।

[@avinandanchatterjee9493]

Amazing episode. I just want you guys to be a little more frequent with the " Ranna Ghore ke".

[@Harinidas]

So happy to see you here Rahul. Phenomenal food as always.

[@nabajyotiray8785]

Great food, but sotti bolle, loved the conversation around it. Felt like I'm present there.

[@arkoupadhyaya843]

Thou art the most articulate lads I have come across aloof of the disillusionment steaming across youtube

[@vbanerjee]

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. ❤️ ❤️

[@panchalimallick5034]

Could you please share where you bought the mortar n pestle from?

[@debleenasen696]

Such a wholesome episode ❤ such lovely adda and yummmm food❤

[@suchismitakar2154]

He is an entertainer ...watched this 3 times

[@lovealways729]

I agree Punjabi cooking is so much more than the cliched stuff... I have a book called Amritsari cooking, it is quite an old book, but the recipes are amazing!!

[@avishekg6760]

A True Blue Cook. Location Agnostic Master of the skills. Full power boss 😊

[@boris0524]

What he said about the LGBTQ & the marketing strategies by companies for commercial purpose is 100% right....

[@durba-718]

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😂

[@DV-1972]

A hairband would help Mr. Rahul to keep his hair in place

[@sangeetasdar3955]

He heard you at 8:49 but took it off for coffee break.

[@saumita07]

Nice guy. I like him :)

[@aramakishore3746]
