Santoshpur, Kolkata

We had a family outing with my parents and while returning we planned a very normal, simple dinner. As we were coming back from Hiland Park, we saw the Alibaba on the way and decided to have food there ahead of a Shiraz just beside. We waited foe about 20 mins outside and were deciding the menu of roti and meat. I even asked the attendant to check on our menu which he rwfused saying that they talk menu only inside. When we finally went in and sat for the order, suddenly they said that no breads were available and they can't serve any. We requested them first and then I complained saying that right before us they had served breads and nobody told us outside. We had been waiting for quite sometime then which in this case made no sense for us now. He still grunted saying that they can't serve breads. By then I got irritated and was leaving when my parents and my wife said that they would manage with biriyani. I was not ready to manage. Then they agreed to serve lachcha parantha. This parantha was not at all good. Their mutton boti gravy was also average.

One thing worth mentioning here is that the cost is very nominal. We spent 300 for a dinner for 4 adults.

Overall - not great food, not good behaviour and no ambience at all. Only reason I am not putting a 1 is I want to try some other branch of their before I pass a judgement on the brand.

Salt Lake Electronic Complex, Sector 5, Salt Lake,

Whenever I am at Bytes, almost every time, I end up taking a chicken/mutton roll from here. I have rarely had such good rolls in Sector 5. They serve fast, no oil oozing out. Just good enough spicy.


I wish them all the best!

The Dhaba, Ballygunge Phari, Kolkata

This is an age old place in South Kolkata. I remember going here with my parents when I was in Junior School. Then they had just started the AC Section in 1st floor.

Recently, I took my wife here. She is from North Kolkata and had never been here. However, she got hooked to the taste & cost so much that she insists we go here every time I plan for an eat-out. There's not much to the ambiance, you can still see the age-old ACs. However, there's a newer section section built on the 1st floor as well.

The Oriental Pavillion, Whitefield, Bangalore

I had been visiting this place for the last 2 days. I am in Bangalore for 4 days and wanted to have food that is Indian-Chinese. It is definitely good, as it should be. But there's a topping to it. I had been explained how every preparation is done by the Steward so that I can choose the appropriate. The taste is good, they serve fast, no heavy crowd in weekdays.
Ambience - 5/5
Food - 5/5
Cost - more than just value for money.
I do not give an overall 5/5 as they do not have table napkins.
