The meal is quintessentially Bengali, which is the national cuisine of Bangladesh. Rice and fish are central to the diet, and this specific preparation is common across the country. The visual evidence of the food is virtually indistinguishable from what would be found in West Bengal, India, making Bangladesh an equally strong candidate region. Dhaka is used as a representative major city within this region.

The cuisine of the Indian state of Odisha, which borders West Bengal, shares many characteristics with Bengali food. A meal centered around rice, fish curry ('Machha Besara' or 'Machha Jhola'), and vegetable dishes is also very common there. While the specific combination is most archetypal of Bengal, it would not be out of place in Odisha, making it a plausible, though less likely, location.
