Rough-hewn trestle tables. Wooden Stools. Dholpur Stone clad walls. Mandana Stone flooring. Artifacts aplenty. Menu painted on a block of wood. Earthenware crockery. Copper Water Glass. Rumali Roti made out of wheat. Delicacies cooked in Clay Tandoor (Traditional Indian Oven). Luscious Tandoori fare low on oil and superlative in taste. Desserts are light on sugar coating and syrup. Amazing ambience with a rustic charm. Mellifluous Indian Percussion Music that pleases your ears to the hilt. Impeccable, attentive service by the highly motivated staff. Chefs who rustled up masterfully crafted dishes by judging the heat of the tandoor, and gauging the spices and mix marinades flawlessly. The light touch cooking that is unswerving in its excellence...I was so pleased, delighted and inspired by this award winning restaurant. Deep down in my heart, I felt that this eatery with unique, unmatched concepts, promises to be a melting pot of ideation and creativity.
I am thankful to God for this overwhelming experience (28 March 2018). My dinner experience was so blissful and peaceful. I also was glad that the food is distinctively delicious and suffused with spices which make it palatable for the Indian tongue. Absolutely buzzing.
I am grateful to Rishipal Singh, the second in command of this eatery. In the absence of Manager Anurag Agha, Rishipal acted -behaved -conducted like a Manager. With full confidence. He is very articulate and friendly. Thoughtful collaborator too.
Captain Sonu Karmakar served me the Hot Toddy, my favourite drink. Sonu exactly remembers the tastes and preferences of the guests. I am amazed at his memory.
My special appreciation to the culinary artists. Key Craftsman Chef Sheikh Momintulla, Chef Ravi Shankar Mullick and Chef Shakeel Qureshi deserves a round of applause for their spectacular showmanship and contribution.
Binit Das served me impeccably. Very consistent and attentive he was. Prompt as well as proactive. Vikram Bisht and Abhishek Choudhary joined me in discussing on the rustic charm of the eatery. We spoke on the Pots, Urns that are suspended from the ceiling and pillars. The shutterbug in me was so cathected by the picturesque charm of this dining venue. Lakhikanta Khamuri, who belongs to the Service Brigade, is very obedient.
I am happy to note that my dinner experience was memorable. It gratifying that this restaurant is one of the best in Kolkata that offers succulent Kebabs. Captivating culinary voyage it was.

"The green-grilled mishti shop at 56 Ramdulal Street is simply called Nakur, short and (very) sweet. Peering through the iron, glasses perched on his nose, Victor picks up one of their best-selling items, Jol Bhora Norom Pak, gives them a thumbs up, and gulps down the sandesh. From a two-item menu consisting of Kada Pak and Monda back in 1844, to 2010 where Chocolate Sandesh can compete for the number one spot, Nakur has come a long way." -- The Telegraph.
If you are timid or don't know the fare already on offer, to sample anything here can be a challenge. There are no signboards or labels on anything, the shopkeepers seem intimidating and are very busy, and the place is immensely popular among locals. Best to ask about something to another local then. But the sweets, including their famous sandesh, is very disappointing. More hype and old name living than anything substantial.

Location: Deep inside the New Market, trust the other non-bake shop-owners or your GPS once you are inside the complex.
Offerings: Cakes, more cakes and yet more cakes. Do try their Marzipans though. Product wrappings are minimalistic and item list not very huge, but the quality is incomparaible.
Service: This has not been upgraded either. Paying by CC is allowed with reluctance and that too over a threshold of INR 300. The place s somewhat unorganized (I visited less than a week before Christmas, the peak sales period for them, so they deserve some benefit of doubt. Also, there was nothing unhealthy that I could see.)

Yet another serendipitous dinner experience. At the iconic award winning restaurant (29 March 2018). I was amazed to observe that Master Chef Zubair Qureshi, Chef Irfan, Chef Sharifudddin and Chef Fahad were recreating the 200 year old culinary legacy from the kitchens of the majestic Awadhi Nawabs. I liked the concept of “Nawab Table”. Please see the picture. It is located just next to the Display Kitchen.
Guest Co-Ordinator Binita Singh served me, flawlessly, attentively. It was my honour that Binita was serving me. She is an outstanding, pedigreed professional. I am pleased to note that she has been the personal butler for many a celebrity lady guests of this hotel. My blessings to her. I am grateful to Master Chef Zubair Qureshi- he explained me patiently on the slow cooking process and ingredients.
The Service Brigade here is very articulate. I saw Himanshu Ranjan, Kunal Mondal and Binita engrossed in guest engagement. It is really high decibel and they do the same passionately. Even the Hostess Priyanka connects with guests effortlessly.
My blessings to the Dum Pukht team. I liked the exquisite decor infused with deep sapphire blues and silver, that reminisces a bygone era and evokes a sense of the old-world charm. Science of accurate flavouring at its best. Flavours were invigoratingly robust yet soft and refined. Richness of textures and flavours delighted the foodie in me. My full marks to Dum Pukht. No wonder it is retaining the no.1 position in trip advisor.

We initially visited the Oasis for an afternoon cold beer and a snack after our time wandering the streets of Kolkata. The beer was super cold and the snacks were exceptional but the service measured high also. During this visit we made a plan to return the next day for our final dinner in India. Again, same wonderful experience. The food very good and service that confirmed that we need a revisit to this magical country.

I got the opportunity to visit the Eden Pavilion last week at the ITC Sonar Bangla. They had this Winter Barbeque going on. Being already a very satisfied customer of the hotel generally, I was all up for the dinner. And they didn't disappoint.
The entire setup was in the lawn.
We were lucky enough to sit next to the lake.
The ambience get a perfect score in my opinion.
The food being served was also of top quality. We were first served starters.
Usually just the non vegetarian starters are preferred and more emphasised on.
But as I'm a vegetarian, it was very nice to see that equal importance was given to the vegetarian counterpart.
Moving on to the main course, we were welcomed with alot of options to choose from but my personal favourite was the Vegetarian Biryani.
All the dishes were very nicely decorated and arranged in a very organized way.
The food tasted amazing. And look very tempting.
The desert had all the options from the western to the authentic Indian sweets.
All in all it was a very good experience and I hope to visit it soon while it still lasts.
Cheers.
