Resort The Rajbari Bawali  

11 Mar 2025

We had a wonderful two-night stay at Rajbari Bawali and were truly mesmerized by its grandeur and heritage charm. The property is breathtaking, with its regal architecture and serene ambiance transporting us back in time. The food was delightful, and the facilities exceeded our expectations. A special mention to Kunal Parui, a young and dedicated restaurant staff member, who took exceptional care of us. His sincerity and warmth made our stay even more special. He not only attended to all our needs but also shared fascinating stories about the history of the Rajbari, adding to the experience. We absolutely loved our time here and are already looking forward to returning. Highly recommended for those who appreciate history, luxury, and impeccable hospitality!

This is another classic heritage property. A former 'Rajbari' refurbished to accommodate guests. It has the classic touch of luxury in it against the backdrop of rural Bengal. We stayed in a cosy room and enjoyed our time in the large swimming pool for hours. Food prepared for breakfast lunch and dinner had a wide variety to choose from (Bengali, North and South Indian, Continental and Chinese) The evening shows were a delight to experience with the smell of 'Dhuna' (Indian Frankincense) and to the sound of 'Dhaak'. Complemented by Soft music live band the evenings were the most joyful. We had our personal care giver Mr. Manish, who assisted us throughout our stay and was always a phone call away. Very friendly and courteous who catered to our every single need no matter how late it was. We also enjoyed a relaxing couple's massage at the Spa and felt rejuvenated combined with hours of water play in the pool. Our rooms had all the precaution against mosquitoes and pests. At the courtyard we also had service to sit and enjoy sipping drinks and enjoying snacks while we listened to the live band.

Royalty meets pleasure at the Rajbari. We went in a group of 7 on a Sunday. At the entrance we were welcomed with a traditional Puja, thereafter met Swarup who was our personal liaison to take care of F & B. He was very polite and looked after us very well. The suites are huge and well spread out. For lunch we opted for the Royal Zamindari Thali - not only was it insta savvy but lip smacking delicious too. Swarup also took us around the property - the highlight of it was the erstwhile Jailbari which is the Games and Recreation Room now, a must see. In the evening there is Sandhya Arati and classic dance performances along with live music. The Rajbari under lights is a all together different vibe. During dinner they also host a large group in the exclusive chamber beside the Piano Room. The Netflix film 'Bulbul' was filmed here. Overall an out of the world heritage experience. It is mind boggling to imagine that this was a dilapidated property which took 10 years to refurbish, they have some black & white pictures around the corridors which tell a story of their own.

We loved multiple things. First, there was the food. The spread of items wasn't exceptional to be honest but what really stood out was the quality of the ingredients and the cooking. It didn't matter whether we were tucking into the zamindari thali at lunch or the kebabs in the evening or even the Asian for dinner. Everything, including breakfast the following morning, was fantastic. The stand out item for us though was the kochupata chingri. We also loved the friendliness of the staff. Always smiling and most importantly, nearly every single one of them knew something or the other about the history of the 400 yr old property, ranging from the little info about how the temple of Dakshineswar was inspired by the temple (also built by Rani Rashmoni before Dakshineswar) outside the rajbari, the films that have been shot at the location (Ray's Jalsaghar, Guru Dutt's Saheb Biwi Ghulam or the more recent Bulbul). Finally, a word on the bartending skills of Kanji and Abhishek. Absolutely brilliant! Loved the gondhoraj cosmopolitan and the whisky sour that we ordered. My second drink was a bartender's special with whisky orange juice, triple sec and some other stuff. Fabulous is the word. I'd also like to call out some staff members who were superb - Nibedita and Subhojit. Last but not the least, I loved the fact that the valet had cooled our car a bit before bringing it to us. Attention to detail was incredible.
