Zahtar Restaurant - Restaurant in Kolkata - 24 Paraganas North, India

1. Restaurant in small boutique hotel on VIP Road 2. Limited number of Parking is available 3. Ambience is good 4. Service was quick 5. Staff were helpful 6. Food was good 7. We experienced Bengali New year buffet and the spread was highly recommended for such occasions

The place has a good ambience but the food is too costly. The quantity and quality of the food do not worth the price. The restaurant is not pocket friendly at all. We ordered a veg noodles and a chicken sweet corn soup. The quantity of the Noodles was not even enough for one person. The sweet corn chicken soup was bland in taste. Strongly suggest to refrain from this so called fine dining restaurant.

Went for the Durga Puja Special Lunch Buffet spread here. It was very nice and coupled with the ambience, the staffs, the food quality and variety, it was worth the visit. Definitely going to recommend this place to my friends and family! Being a foodie and someone who has been to a lot of places around the city, I found Zahtar to be a very lovely and worthy place.

Didn't expected such great food but Zahtar made the visit worthwhile specially after the long lockdown. The ambiance of this place located inside The Maureen is just beautiful. Although service was awful but not in the sense of behavior of the staffs. They took almost 1 hr 10 min to serve the food on table. That was really frustrating. Someone said "Sabr Ka Fal Mitha Hota Hai" and hell it was, the quality of food was amazing. Navratan Khorma @ Rs.230 (4/5) : ---------------------------------------------------------- Wonderful blend of nine kind of veggies in white creamy gravy that tasted really nice. We had it with chapati, but any kind of bread will be perfect. Murgh Bharta @ Rs.300 (5/5) : ----------------------------------------------------- Shredded Chicken like authentic Bhartha but bit dry and spicy that tasted brilliant. Murgh Jafrani Kofta @ Rs.300 (5/5) ------------------------------------------------------------ Such a flavorful dish with the delicious gravy and big Kofta balls tasted just incredible. Kashmiri Pulao @ Rs.250 (4/5) : ------------------------------------------------------ Brilliant quality rice cooked perfectly with lots of fruits in authentic way that tasted really sweet and went perfectly with the side dishes. Highly recommend. Pricing mention on online menu card is Rs.100-150 less than their current prices that I felt is bit expensive. But quality of their food was very very good. I highly recommend this place, they just need to quick up the service a bit.

Let me introduce to you the newly, renovated and more upscale "Zahtar" which not only gives you a perfect fine dining experience but also pleases your taste budes with the variety of foods it has to offer. This is probably the only restaurant in the area which serves awadhi food along with drinks and cocktails. Location- It's on the first floor of the Hotel Maureen ( If you travel towards airport from Baguiati, it will be to your left,just after Chowman). Decor- One word, "Splendid". The docor gives you that extravagant feel. Its bright and the seating area can accommodate a comfortable 40-50 people. If you are lucky,you might get the lovely 2 seater which has the view of busy city on one side. Drinks: Beach Party Liit- This is a 500 ml cocktail which has a taste pretty much every liquor in the house. It has Vodka,white rum,Gin,Tequila and Cointrue. Strawberry Diqury- Probably the best we had in the night. Simple base of Bacardi White and a flavour of Strawberry and a taste that you don't forget. Sunami- A mix of cranberry, vodka, whiskey, tequila and white rum. The presentation was nice but tasted average. Food: Panner Dil Bahara- A nice veg starter with a piece of panner topped with sattu and cheese. Veg Akbari Sheek Kebab- These were like a baked pastry with a stuffing of potato. Tasted amazing and best part it looked superb. Galouti Kebab- Oh my god.!!! They were just awesome. They were tender soft and had that perfect blend of spices (Highly recommend). Samandar ka Khazana - Just as the name suggests, these were truely the hidden treasure of sea. The platter had tandoori prawn and a boneless ajwani fish. The prawn was just awesome and what to say about the fish, they just melted in your mouth. Now after the amazing starters we were left with very little space for main course, hence we tried Kachi Gosth ki Biryani- I wont say the best biryani in town but yes a biryani worth eating. Served in Handi, it had 2 Big pieces of Mutton/Chicken and a kachi biryani which was not dry and can be consumed without any gravy. Murg Kumb ki Tari- I have never tried a awadhi chicken gravy with capsicum and mushrooms. Even the chicken had a stuffing of capsicum. But the gravy is too good to die for. A perfect combo with Butter Naan/Naan. Overall a amazing place for dinein with your special one or your family in the Baguiati region. Please give it a shot and i am sure you wont regret it.

A chic and classy ambience in all beige and gold gives this place a high score the minute you step in. It is an all day dining of a business hotel close to the airport making it a sought after place for travellers. The menu holds quite strong and has flavours from around the world to entice you from Chinese to continental and Italian to North Indian kebabs and local Bengali cuisine. The taste of the food somewhat falls flat in most areas. It is of average quality and somewhat rich and spicy. However, the kababs are highly recommended. From the main course you may try Hyderabadi Gosht Dum Biryani and Awadhi Murgh Biryani along with Awadhi Murgh Chaap. Dessert: Hot Gulab Jamun, must try!

Recently visited this restaurant which is inside The Maureen Hotel, opposite to Big Bazar, baguiati. It's a fine dine place which is quite spacious and the ambience is pretty good for having dinner dates! Now coming to the food we had, we basically took awadhi / indian cuisines along with Red Wine. *Murgh Tangri Kebab: The chicken legs were damn tender and delicious. I loved them, the Kebabs literally tasted so good. You can surely order this one. * Galouti Kebab: This was another must have from this place. I had such amazing galoutis after ages. Perfect taste and scent made it so delicious! *Hyderabadi Gosht Biryani. *Awadhi Chaap: The chaap tasted good but tasted a bit different from normal chicken chaaps but it complemented the biryani as the Biryani was a bit lighter as compared to basic Kolkata style biryani. And then we ended our meal with some hot gulabjamun. Overall experience was good.

Didn't like the food much. Starters were tasteless. They displayed varieties of menu while booking, but we hardly got 80% of them. In the main course, only the mutton biriyani (which did not have mutton in it, LoL) tastes good. Handi mutton had some oily gravy with no mutton chunks. The pot was empty most of the time. If you're lucky enough, you'll find a piece or two, that too undercooked. The only reason I'm giving it a 2 star is the dessert section. It was too good and bette than many popular buffets.
