Kasturi Restaurant - Bengali restaurant in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

It was a good experience.. The flavour of each dish was good and flavourful... Service was good.. But cleanliness is not that good which is very important for the restaurant to keep the place clean and hygiene.. Washroom and the tables need cleaning.. And the MAIDA PARATHA is too oily to handle.. Overall good experience.. Will definitely visit again..

One of my favourite restaurants in Bengali cuisine. This is what I had there: - fish kasundi (as a starter) -luchi -chingri polao -alur dom -mutton kasha Every dish was lip smacking, specially polao n mutton combo was great. My favourite was luchi with mutton kasha. It made my day happier and my tummy full. Service was fast n around 7pm it was totally empty.

The atmosphere is decent. The food items were great. Specially, the mutton was heavenly. We visited on an occasion. So there was rush and most of the items were not available including thalis. That was a disappointment. Servicing and management was slow and can be improved. But the cook and food deserve the credit.

It was a good food experience! Going to a Bengali restaurant and having only veg... I was a bit sceptical...but surprisingly I had quite a few options. I chose to have the shukto mini thali where together with shukto they serve rice, Sona moong dal and jhuri alu bhaja, I also ordered separately dhokar dalna. All food items were tasty and well prepared. Gandhoraj ghol was good too.

The food is delicious if you like authentic Bengali cuisine. Try kachu patha chingri, fish fry, chicken gandhoraj, mutton kasha, basanti polao, sarse ilish, chutney. Also the nolen gurer icecream. However if you visit during peak hours, be prepared to wait.

We tried several of their thalis and except Shorshe Pabda the rest were great choices. Our order for Lime soda sweet was mixed up for Shikanji, but this faux pa was redeemed with original nolen gur Ice Cream for desert. Service was fast. Place could use little better up keep in wash basin area.

Location: Near Gariahat, walk straight down Dover Lane, next to Hindustan Club Durga Puja. Ambience: Lot of tables, buzzing with waiters and cleaning staff, feels quite stuffy. Tables were clean. Separate area with 3-4 washbasins, separate toilet room. Service: * Basic table service was fast. * No filtered drinking water available, you need to buy bottled mineral water. * Too many staff continuously bothering you to order for mocktails, they just never stop. Even when you say you are not interested, they keep on repeating if you will order. While still having the main course, they again bothered me if I will order icecream, very irritating way to upsell their items. Ordered: * Doi Ilish: Ilish was medium sized, not the best quality of fish. The gravy was tasty. Not worth the price of Rs 500. * Posto Bora: three very small pieces, crispy and perfectly spiced, but again not worth the price of Rs 150. * Gulab Jamun: two small pieces costing Rs 50. Not very soft, did not like it. Overall, prices are on the higher side, no filtered drinking water served, and continuously harassing for ordering mocktails is extremely irritating. Was not a good experience!

Visited on a Monday evening. Restaurant was mostly empty. Only one other customer was seated. Atmosphere is average with algae green upholstery and brick theme wall lining in interiors with life size creatives. We were guided by the waiter on selection of dishes. We ordered Bhetki Paturi, Shorshe Hilsa and Kochupatta Diye Chingri Bhappa. The wait time was negligible. The waiter also guided us for the sequence in which the food be eaten for best savour. I can only sum it up that every bite was worth it. The aroma, the taste and the texture ....feel on taste buds... it was awesome. I made a repeat order for carrying home for relieving the tastes. Request to Admin : improvement of washroom experience. Though the fittings are from Jaguar brand, cleanliness needs improvement. Urinal/commode area needed focus. Since most customers would be using hand for meals, wash basins are practically placed. However, the taps are higher than desired. This results in water splashing onto clothes, while washing. Soap dispenser was not refilled. No paper towel was placed nearby. Notwithstanding ibid, the taste compensates all. Definitely recommend and will revisit.
