CALCUTTA BISTRO

As you you my love for food can't resist me to try out new dishes in new places. This time my food destination was Culcutta Bistro at Jadavpur. You can describe Jadavpur area as a food junction. You can find every kind of food here and there in Jadavpur area. This time I fixed my eyes on Culcutta Bistro.

CALCUTTA BISTRO

ADDRESS :  No.50-A/1A, Raja Subodh Chandra Mullick Road, Jadavpur, Kolkata, West Bengal 700032

OPENING HOURS : 12 PM-11 PM

PHONE NUMBER : (033) 2418 -7712

CUISINE : 

Calcutta Bistro mainly serves Chinese and Indian food. Their menu card is divided into three parts including separate parts for Starter (Veg and Non-Veg), Main Course (Veg and Non-Veg). The first half of it is about the Chinese dishes and the Second half of it is about the Indian cuisine. Third part is about Dessert. They also have a page for Appetizer Starter Drinks. 

INTERIOR :

The interior of the restaurant is nice. The restaurant is two storied (A/C). The walls are decorated with paintings. The overall interior gives you a cozy feeling.  

My Food :

I tried to have as much as I can. But surely I can't go for all the food there. Hope I will visit there next time to have the item which I did not go for this time.

STARTER :

I ordered a plain sweet soda for refreshing my palate. 

1. PAN FRIED CHILLY FISH (6 pieces) - 190/- INR :

Calcutta Bistro's Description In Menu : Tangy tomato gravy, scallions ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scallion ) mildly spiced with jalapeno ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalape%C3%B1o ). 

PAN FRIED CHILLY FISH

MY VIEW

It has a more tangy and sour taste. The scallions give it a texture and also add some color to the dish. I quite like the small chunks of ginger and garlic.  I think that it was barramundi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barramundi ). The fish was sweet and tender. 

MAIN COURSE : 

1.VEG POLAOU - 140/- INR : 

Calcutta Bistro's Description In Menu : There wasn't any description.

VEG POLAU AND BALTI CHICKEN

MY VIEW

When the dish hit the table the smell of the ghee fills my heart and mind. The polaou was extremely light. It has the aroma of ghee though ghee wasn't overpowering the polaou. The small pieces of paneer (cottage cheese) make it more light. Addition of beans, carrot and peas add color and texture to the polaou. The veg polaou was made with long grain rice. Overall I was satisfied. 

2. BALTI CHICKEN (6 pieces) - 165/- INR :

Calcutta Bistro's Description In Menu : Cubed chicken cooked with tossed saute onions, capsicum, tomatoes and cream served in a copper balti.

MY VIEW

It was like a normal chicken kosha with a big chunks of onions, capsicum, tomatoes with coriander. the gravy was smooth and mildly spiced. It was a okay dish to me. But considering the price it was really nice. 

3. DESSERT - 125/- INR : 

Calcutta Bistro's Description In Menu : There wasn't any description.

ARABIAN DELIGHTS

MY VIEW

I was expected it to be something out of the box. But it wasn't. It was normal three different flavored (chocolate, butter scotch and strawberry) scoop of ice cream served with dates. On the top of the ice cream scoop there was cheery drizzled with honey. It was a regular ice cream palate.

RED BAMBOO SHOOT

I am not a professional but certainly I am a food lover. I love to try new dishes from the menu. Sometime I failed but I get reward too. So, I am going to review the restaurant named Red Bamboo Shoot. It situated in Boral Main Road, Garia. Its not too old to have a history. It is very new and fancy kind of a restaurant. I have visited this restaurant several times but this time I was there as a Food Blogger.

Cuisine

It serves only authentic Chinese and Tibetan cuisine. I was quiet astonished that it truly sticks to the authentic cuisine. Generally the Chinese food I have in other restaurants were really disappointing. They mixed Indian spices to their recipes. Red Bamboo Shoot really took a brave move to make the dishes by sticking true to the real recipe. They also serve some really awesome beverages and desserts.

Interior

Interior plays an important role to create the perfect environment for the visitors. Use of right colors and lights make a good impression on the customers. Food business is not all about the taste. It is about attracting the customers too. Here, Red Bamboo Shoot really pushes itself. Wonderful Decoration makes your mind calm and set your mood for the food. 

Starter

I ordered as my starter 

Crispy American Corn Taichin Sauce

1. Crispy American Corn Taichin Sauce - Rs. 170/-:

It is too much for one or two persons. I can assure you you can share it with four to five persons. The corns are sweet and crispy. Taichin sauce has a sour and tangy taste with some green spring onions and some garlics. Its a very nice starter. I was almost full with this one dish. But I truly satisfied with quality and quantity of the food. 

R.B.S Special Soup (Non-Veg)

2. R.B.S Special Soup (Non-Veg) - Rs. 160/-:

I just totally fall in love with this soup. It satisfied my each and every taste bud. Certainly the best dish of the day. The prawn chips come as the complementary with the soup. It has so many textures. It has chicken, prawn, spring onion, carrots, egg, and garlic. And the chips added the required crispy texture to it. It is a must taste dish if you visit here.

Main Course

I ordered as my main course

1. R.B.S Special Fried Rice (Veg) - Rs. 160/-:

I don't prefer to have mixed or chicken fried rice. I always order veg one. I think if my rice became heavy I could hardly enjoy my side dishes. Here I order the R.B.S Veg Special Fried Rice. It has a smoky taste. If you like your rice to be smoky you will enjoy it. The rice is too light that your tummy will certainly be happy with it. The quantity and the quality is satisfying.

2. Quai-Zhou Chicken (10 Pieces) - Rs. 220/-:

If you want to taste sweet, sour, slightly spicy and tangy flavor in your chicken dish then this dish is ultimate choice for you. All the flavors are balanced quite well. Chunks of Onion and Spring Onions added a texture to it. 

Dessert

I was too full to order the dessert or any kind of beverage. Though I had tried some of their beverages and desserts another day but not on this particular day. I will surely make a blog on the beverage and dessert when I will visit there next time. 

Quality and Quantity

I really love the food quality and quantity. Both are equal impressive. 

Staff 

All the staffs including the manager is so helpful. They are very gentle. They describe the dishes with details. They will ask about your views after serving each and every new dish.  

Price

Price is reasonable here. 

My View

Overall I was satisfied with everything. I visit this places several times. I highly recommend this restaurant to you if you want to have Chinese or Tibetan Food.
