The Blue Poppy Thakali - Nepalese restaurant in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

Would have given this place four stars for its food, and service, had it not been for an odd incident. We were a group of seven, and of course there was conversation, when this person ( probably the restaurant receptionist) came up to us , and asked us to keep it down. Well, we were NOT being noisy, and I pointed out as much. He mumbled something, and left. The servers were extremely helpful, and the food was great! The steamed chicken momos were juicy, and I would definitely recommend the mixed fried rice.

Actual Rating- 4.5/5 This is one of my favourite places to eat at and I have visited it numerous times. I love most of the dishes that I have tried here and would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat. Some of my absolute favourites here are the Pork Kothay, Chicken Wings in Chilli Butter Sauce, and Kimchi Fried Rice. Besides these, the Mutton Momo, Pork Thenthuk Soup, Stir Fried Flat Noodles, and Chilli Pork (loved the flavour in this one but the meat itself was a bit dry and chewy) are pretty delicious as well. However, I'm not a fan of their phaleys or chicken shapta and think they can be given a miss while ordering. The food is reasonably priced and the portion sizes are quite big. Apart from that, the ambience is warm and welcoming. There's option to seat both on chairs and on the floor, which I love about this place. The staff is extremely polite and courteous and the servics is pretty quick. Please keep in mind that they remain closed from 3:30 pm to 5pm and plan your visit accordingly!

Went to this restaurant for lunch, the ambience was very good. We tried Chicken kothey, Egg fried rice and Chicken Shyapta. Food tasted exceptionally good and the portion was decent. Price is very reasonable. Only the service and hospitality could have been a little better. Overall good experience. Would love to visit again.

Amazing Himalayan cuisine. Great pork dishes and more. Steam Momos and Mongolian Pork are must tries

I went on a lunch alone at The blue poppy thakali and had ordered chicken kothey, chicken fried rice based on the recommendation of the server. This was my first time trying chicken Kothey and I was absolutely amazed and shocked that I had never heard or Tried this dish before. Chicken fried rice was very fresh and they served a lot. The ambience was alright and the food overall had a good taste, however nothing extraordinary. Good thing is that use digital menu cards and there is no wait time as such.

Situated in the Sikkim house in Middleton street, it's known for its iconic Sikkimese food. Ambience is basic and traditional floor seating is also available. We were here for a team lunch and ordered Chicken Kothay, Mixed Hakka Noodles, Mixed Fried Rice and Chicken Manchurian. For beverages we ordered Lime Mojito and fresh lime. I have been coming to Blue Poppy for the last 10 years and have witnessed the gradual decline in food taste & service. The Iconic Chicken Kothay, Noodles and Fried rice lived up to the expectations. The Chicken Manchurian was cold and hard like stone as if they were frozen and immediately tossed in some tomato sauce. We returned it as it was not edible. The restaurant replaced it with some bassa fish Manchurian which was delicious. The beverages were tasteless and looked like coloured water. Overall the experience was a let down. There are far better places serving traditional sikkimese food with better taste and service.

The food and the ambience really stands out. The service was also good but I don't know why they added Service Charge by default (it was removed when asked for) but I have never seen a restaurant of this category separately charging Service Charge. Coming to the food, we had 1. Crispy Pork in Chilly Butter Sauce 2. Mutton Steamed Momo 3. Oyester Basil Noodles 4. Non-veg Thukpa Noodles Soup 5. Kothy Chicken Momo 6. Blue Lemonade 7. Green Apple Mojito I really liked sitting on the floor arrangement which I don't think is present in many restaurants in Kolkata.

I just like the seating arrangement of this place. They have a shoe rack also. Food is good, but they don't serve soup with the momos.
