Beauty Boarding

Beauty Boarding is a two-story residential building in Bangla Bazaar with an open central courtyard. Long verandas connect to the rooms and define the structure's distinctive layout.

The building started as a zamindar's residence, later became a newspaper office, and then transformed into a boarding house. It received its name in 1951 after the daughter of owner Nalini Saha.

It served as a gathering place where Bengali writers and poets met to discuss and create their work over tea. This literary tradition shaped the building as a center for artistic exchange in the city.

The location is accessible by rickshaw from central areas like Sadarghat or Gulistan to Paridas Road. It is best to visit early to explore the surroundings comfortably.

The building is known for serving traditional Bengali dishes, especially Rui fish and mutton leg, at affordable prices. This culinary tradition has made it a favorite among visitors.
