Rose: One of my favorite restaurants which I preferably don’t miss out on during the weekends

We usually get a break from our office or our other diurnal work during the weekend, and feel like doing something which we like. I love visiting restaurants and dining out there with my family. In spite of visiting many restaurants in Kolkata, I personally like ‘ROSE’ the most.  It stands very true to its name. Their heart-winning satisfactory service to their visitors is why I probably don’t feel like dropping it out from the list of my favorite restaurants.

A restaurant is said to be a good one if the following things are positive in it.

Firstly, it should serve its customers with extraordinarily tasty food.

Secondly, it should be cost effective so that anyone can visit it at times with their family without checking their wallet several times and having second thoughts before going.

Thirdly, it should be hygienic enough with clean utensils, clean tables and well dressed clean waiters who are serving the food.

Fourthly, a restaurant should have a standard look and should suit your living standards well.

Fifthly, it should have quick service. The service of the restaurant should not be poor and make you wait for the ordered food to come for a long time so you literally start starving. The reason why I am emphasizing on the qualities of a good restaurant is because ‘Rose’ has all of them. The soul pleasing taste of the food, the extra-ordinarily quick service of hot and yummy food, the gorgeous look of the restaurant and the other plus factors pull me towards it.

Another thing which I like about ‘ROSE’ is their restrictions with the dress code. This also hikes their standards and symbolizes its loyalty. You ought to be well dressed up in formals before entering. Casual dressing will stop you from getting entry here. Rose also has a branch on the opposite footpath which mainly serves snacks and has recently started with meals as well. It’s not that I have never visited any other restaurant for meals with my family other than this, but I strongly feel that I can visit ‘ROSE’ without getting bored of the taste of its food. So, if you haven’t visited them, do so the next time you dine out with your family. It is located at Kankurgachi opposite Pantaloons.

Damur, a grand Chinese and North Indian food plaza at Dalhousie

I am surprised to see that no one has reviewed this superb restaurant, located in one of the busiest heritage business centers of Kolkata, yet. Located at 7, Old Court House Corner, Dalhousie, BBD Bagh in Kolkata, Damur is a fabulous restaurant I discovered near my work place a few months ago. My office colleagues and I planned a lunch party at Damur to celebrate the farewell of one of our colleagues.

Damur is a complete Chinese and North Indian restaurant with a wide range of preparations available in their menu. As most of the buildings in this area looks like century old heritage buildings, one should not judge its outer appearance. Around 1.00 PM, we reached in front of the restaurant – an old building with the name ‘Damur’ shining brightly and elegantly. As we stepped inside by opening a small door, the interior decor with soft light simply amazed us. The outer and inner appearance was just contrasting. The doorman welcomed our group and asked us to go upstairs to the second floor. The entire stair case was beautifully decorated. As we reached the second floor, one of the waiters approached towards us and guided us to a table of six. The six of us sat comfortably on our chairs.

In our group, there was one vegetarian. So, for the appetizer, we ordered two Chicken Sweet Corn Soup and Chicken Thai, one Chicken Noodles Soup and one Mushroom Noodles Soup. These were followed by two plates of Dry Chilli Chicken, one plate of Drums of Heaven and Crispy Chilli Babycorn. With all these superb dishes, we initiated our grand lunch party. As it was a weekday and that also in the afternoon, there was not much crowd in the large dining hall. Most of the tables were empty. As far as I remember, three more tables were occupied other than ours and we enjoyed our privacy. Every preparation was delicious. In the meantime, we placed our orders for the main course and beverages. Each of us opted for Lime Soda Water. And for the main course, we mixed and matched between North Indian and Chinese items. We tried one plate of Mixed Hakka Noddles and Mixed Fried Rice, both without pork, Peas Pulao, Butter Naan, Dal Makhani, Paneer Butter Masala, Garlic Chicken and Szechwan Chicken.

All the Chinese preparations that we savored were awesome. But truly speaking, I didn’t like their Dal Makhani and Butter Naan – probably because I don’t prefer those, though others appreciated them. We had a great and memorable lunch party at Damur at an affordable price. After such a lavish and enjoyable meal, the bill came to nearly Rs. 200 per head.

Chowman

Tucked away in a tiny corner in Golf Green, Chowman offers some tasty Chinese and Thai cuisine. Looking for a nice food joint nearby, we (my friends and I) accidently dropped in at this restaurant one afternoon. To be very frank, we were not happy with their seating arrangements. Although Chowman has a nice ambience and on entering you are greeted by friendly waiters, this restaurant lacks adequate space. At the most, ten people can sit in it comfortably. If you are the 11^th one, you have to wait in a queue for your turn. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait. There were a few people and we (3 of us) were given a table.

Frankly speaking, we didn’t expect awesome food, especially after taking a look at their limited seating arrangements. But, we were proven wrong after 45 minutes. Voraciously hungry, we ordered some Manchow soup and for starters we had we had Schezwan Chilli baby corn and chilli shrimps. To our surprise, the soup as well as the starters tasted amazingly good. The spices were nicely blended to excite our taste buds. Finally, our sumptuous lunch arrived in hot bowls. Our main course consisted of mixed fried rice, chilli garlic rice and wok tossed hakka noodles (chicken), hunan chicken and Cantonese Chicken and fish Pak choi. The food was delicious; we were left licking the last morsels from our plates. All these items were served by well mannered waiters who promptly responded to our calls.

I know Chowman at Golf Green lacks space so if you plan to dine with your family then better not come here. You will have to stand in a long queue, waiting for your turn.  But, you can surely drop in at Chowman’s forty- seater, air-conditioned restaurant at 99 Ballygunge Place.

Walk into Hongkong Express to get the authentic flavor of Chinese dishes ending with Darsaan

I am a food lover and I always prefer tasting dishes at different restaurants, cafes and snacks bars, regardless of how big or small the place is. In the Gariahat area, I have been at many restaurants (both big and small ones) but I was unaware of Hongkong Express, located on 70 B, Purna Das Road, Hindustan Park in Kolkata.

Recently, one or two months back, I discovered an amazing offer flashing on Crazeal’s website for dining at Hongkong Express: “A meal for two for Rs. 850/- is available for only Rs. 299/-.” I soon grabbed the offer and went there with my best friend for a lunch the next weekend to explore this Chinese and Thai world. Very close to Triangular Park, Gariahat, we did not face any hassles in finding our destination. As we entered, we felt the calmness and silence of the place. Simple but sophisticated, the interior decor is fully influenced by Chinese artwork. The manager (who is probably Chinese) greeted us with a warm welcome. Although we understood his English accent his gestures were totally different from what we generally come across in Kolkata.

While placing the order, the waiter assisted us with the best options that we could have. For starters, we ordered Crispy Fried Chilly Chicken, and then for the main course, we chose Mixed Triple Schezuan Rice and Chicken in Chilly Oyster Sauce. After a long time, I got the authentic flavor of Chinese dishes sitting in Kolkata. Their triple Schezuan Rice was a totally new item for both of us and we enjoyed having it. Their triple Schezuan Rice is a mixture of three different types of ingredients: rice, fine noodles and thick noodles. Our meal ended with Darsaan, a special kind of dessert which includes our well known sweet dish, ‘gaja’ served with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. This dessert topped the menu list that was served for us. A perfect combination of authentic Indian dessert and ice-cream, the hot ‘gajas’ were amazing to taste with frozen ice-cream.

Our stomachs were full and we had very little space for Darsaan but its heavenly taste did not allow us to waste any of it. We took our time, relaxed and finished it and my mouth waters even today remembering that superb and delicious dessert. I will love to go back to Hongkong Express many times in the future and if others are also planning to explore this gastronomic enclave don’t miss their Darsaan.

Krishna Ke Darbar Se

The recently opened food joint Govinda`s offers a religiously sumptuous treat for the vegetarian food lovers of the city.  Inaugurated on the eve of Janmashtami by famous Tollywood Actress Swastika Mukherjee, this restaurant is a wonderful amalgamation of both Indian and worldly cuisines. The restaurant on the Iskcon Temple premises where Lord Krishna is devoutly worshipped serves a large variety of cuisines and offers some of the best buffet deals as well. Not just the ambience but even the quantity and quality of their food will melt your heart. Located in the heart of the city at 11,Ho Chi Minh Sarani (the lane opposite Birla High School for Boys) this restaurant offers South Indian, North Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Italian and Continental food but one must try their Veggie Platter and Mexican dosas with different fillings to get a complete experience. The weekend Buffet Deals are also quite pocket friendly at Rs.99 per person and offer good portions of Starters, Main Course and Desserts.

But what they completely lack in is the service as the order might take more than 30minutes to be served and the timings of the restaurant also will not suit everyone as the food joint shuts down at 10PM sharp. Another thing that did not suit my taste buds was the over-experimental menu where one can get confused about what to eat and what not to, and the lack of Valet Parking may also disappoint you.

However, Mr.Amarnath Desai the GM of the restaurant “promises to improve the services and give a contented experience” to the visitors. My overall experience was not that bad as their range of Eggless desserts were to die for  and with a sweet tooth I recommend trying out Govinda`s this weekend  if you want a taste of pure and sinful vegetarian delicacies and chanting ‘Hare Ram! Hare Krishna!’ (if you do not mind waiting really long) where a meal for two should cost approximately Rs.600.

Afza, a new destination for North Indian dishes, especially Biriyani

Cuddling in the heart of the so called ‘Biriyani para’ of this city, Afza is a new name in the list of famous Mughlai houses situated in Park Circus area. Located at 82, Jhowtala Road, Kolkata, a few steps away from Our Lady Queen of the Mission school, this 2-3 years old hotel cum restaurant includes both North Indian and Chinese cuisines in its menu chart.

A perfect place, spacious and well decorated to hang out with friends or to plan a family dinner, one will get a wide variety of choices at Afza’s menu chart to satiate their taste buds. After it started off, I have been there quite a number of times for dine-in and once or twice I have placed the order for home delivery. This dining hub is very close to my place and so whenever I feel the urge to dine out; this is always the first option for me. As of date, I have always been there with my friends and every time I have been there, I opted for North Indian cuisine except once when I ordered Chinese.

The north Indian cuisine here is simply awesome here and as I am a regular diner at nearby Zeeshan and Arsalan, comparison comes automatically, and on that comparative scale, this younger Afza is in no way inferior to well known Zeeshan and Arsalan. And why only me, any diner who has tasted North Indian preparations at Afza will agree with me because this gastronomic enclave leaves no space for dissatisfaction when it comes to their service, hospitality and preparations.

For starters, my all time favorite is either Chicken Tandoori or Chicken Reshmi Kabab which is followed by their yummy Chicken Biriyani. Afza prepares all these with its chef’s special touch which gives a superb taste to the preparations to delight the hearts of every diner. Their biriyani is a superb and heavenly combination with Chicken Bharta or Chicken Butter Masala. Every time I satisfied my appetite with Afza’s North Indian dishes, I have always gone home delighted. But once I tasted the Chinese when I was there with my building friends and I was very disappointed. We ordered Crispy Chilli Baby Corn, followed by Chicken Chowmein and Garlic Chicken but all of these were not up to the mark. We also felt that the Baby Corn item was not fresh.

So when I can give 10/10 points for Afza’s North Indian preparations, I will give it only 1/10 for the Chinese ones. I must say that Afza is basically a specialist in North Indian cuisine and if anyone has a plan to dine in here during the festive season, try North Indian and I am sure you will love to return again and again.
