Many thanks, Tryska

Thanks for all the info. I swore a restaurant was the way to go, but geeze is it expensive! So, now looking into having a catered reception. Other than the places that have been listed, can you suggest any other Indian joints? Perhaps we'll go with just finger foods and sweets. On a side note, there's a great place in Berkeley called Vik's. They initially started as a snacks and sweets place, but have grown and recently even added granite tables. Pretty cool to see and their food is soooo good - very popular among the students. Good food at a good price. What more could you want?

I'd prefer to find a restaurant that will seat 100 people than rent a hall and use a caterer. We'd rather not spend a bunch of money decorating a place than taking that money and putting it into better food. So, that's why we are trying to find a restaurant. We're having a weekend event with the wedding on the last day, so the dinner is going to be a last chance to hang out with our family and friends and it won't be a big decorated traditional reception. We will have already had a BBQ with everyone the day before with some Bengali food, so it's not super important that we incorporate Bengali food at the dinner after the wedding. Thanks for the info.

I live in San Francisco, but am getting married in Atlanta and having a hard time finding information on good restaurants there. Neither of our families will dance nor will they enjoy the loud moanings of a DJ. So for the reception, we're forgoing the traditional dancing and such for a place with a warm atmosphere to host a nice dinner for 100 people. He is from Bangladesh. I'm from Texas. My family would have a great time experiencing Bengali cuisine and I'd love to find a place that can incorporate some of his mother's recipes into the dinner. Perhaps a Mediterranean restaurant? It's obviously a stretch and I fully expect not to find something like that, but maybe you know of a chef that would like to learn something about Bengali cooking? Our main objective is to find good food and a cozy and warm atmosphere where people can talk and have a good time. Not stuffy, but not quite BBQ.
