Avartana - Restaurant in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

The service and attention to detail made our evening. The restaurant has 4 fixed tasting menus We all selected BELA. Each course was excellent. The chefs excellent modern presentations of South Indian tastes is amazing. The best ingredients from the Southern states are selected for the meal. This is is a restaurant one must visit for the experience.

We went to Avartana for the first time , the experience was actually quite surprising , they have a set of preset meal courses out of which we chose the "Maya" experience, it came with 7 different serves. At first I thought maybe the quantity will feel less but gradually as the time went on, by the time the dessert came we more or less full. We were served by Ishant and Dev who were extremely polite and welcoming and they made sure that we enjoyed our time out there. In conclusion the Food taste , ambience and staff are a solid 10/10 , its a must try for people who are thinking for visiting this place.

It was an extraordinary experience of fine dining. The tastes literally blast the mind and the explanation tickles the grey cells. The creativity of food expressed is out of this world.

This restaurant is a perfect example of 'over commit and under perform'. Absolutely ridiculous food and rigid in their offerings. No changes are allowed and you have to eat whatever they serve. Culinary disaster

A new spot in the city, one of the first or few to offer a variety of set menu. The food is South Indian flavours inspired. Some of the dishes was superb and inspiring while others were average. The quantity is disappointing as they don't offer you repeats, there is literally 1-2 bites in most of the dishes. So you may leave still a little hungry. The service was also very underwhelming, it took more than 2 hours for a 6-7 course meal and we waited for average of 10-15 mins between meals sometimes.

Long and detailed menu. Change in cutlery and crockery for every dish, along with explanation- a unique experience!

Ultimate fine dining experience. A must visit for those who believe cooking is a form of celebration of colours with flavours, presentation is an art and deciding portion size is an ultimate example of chef's experience where nothing goes waste and one enjoys all the13 courses. Your tummy is full by the time you finish your meal.

We did the 13-course tasting menu, and it was a brilliant experience. All the items were tastefully crafted, immaculately balancing the flavors and spices of different South Indian cuisines. And the ingredients were super fresh! Hard to choose a favorite dish, but the lobster, shrimp, lamb and seabass are surely standing out in memory. And finally the coconut mousse with coffee ice cream was pure bliss We were served by Kiran, and she did a great job introducing the dishes to us, and making us comfortable. We also tried a few cocktails from the menu - the signature ones are really nice. We will definitely be back!
