I was actually searching for another restaurant but mistakenly entered into this one. But I have to say I had a nice experience. The set up is that of a fine dine restaurant. Menu and bar menu looked quite affordable. I ordered one manchow soup and one fish starter. The fish was quite spicy and they dod not give any dip or sauce. I had to ask for some sauce several times. I will visit again for some main course and desserts.

We had searched it's another branch but mistakenly we entered into this. Although it's a nice experience. We ordered a bowl of mixed fried rice and 1plate of Taipai chiken. Both item are very good. Staff are also very helpful. Food cost are not overpriced.

Affordable. Good food. Decent variety of alcohol. Old architecture. Quiet place. Great to hangout with college friends. Polite staff. Prompt service. Though they should replace their sofa covers.

Just beside Lalit Great Eastern, this place will surely amaze you, with the average decorations and amazing food quality. Overall, a pocket friendly one for any purpose.

Manthan is a quintessential example of a classic Central Kolkata Bar which have satiate the thirst of generations, not to mention being accompanied by some bar snacks and long conversations.. However I feel what set this watering hole apart from others in the vicinity is the ambience which is quite posh, even suitable for women unlike many bars close by, the seating arrangement is huge, as the place itself houses two more restaurant under the same brand, yet still offering alcohol at an extremely economical rate.. This particular restaurant gives you a classic vintage feel with high ceiling, wooden furniture and big canvases in the wall.. Service can be highly unpredictable given the time of the day, from extremely polite and caring while vacant to rude and arrogant during the rush hours.. Also the servers seem to have a bossy attitude given the feel of this place.. They however do offer a wide range of appetizers from Indian to Chinese making it perfect to wash down the beverages.. We ordered 7 large pegs of White Mischief along with finger foods since weren’t in the mood for a heavy dinner: Jade Fried Fish: Perfect company for the drinks, a distant cousin of tempura fries.. The coating was light, crisp, flaky, devoid of any extra oil and the fish was cooked to perfection.. Loved it while piping hot.. Chicken Mongolian: Boneless chicken morsels cooked in a spicy, red gravy.. The sauce tasted good enough, tangy, hot but the cubes of chickens were too irregular, some way too small to get any flavors while others were regular.. At the end it feels good at times to get a taste of nostalgia amidst all the modernizations and changes, those little chats with the servers, the classic complimentary julienne ginger and chat masala, not to forget the salted peanuts and a little camaraderie.. While we Calcuttans do embrace the newer concept of lounges and clubs, a visit to these place once in a while isn’t too bad either.. Our total cheque was just Rs. 1240/- (all incl.) for 2 people.. Food: 3.5/5 Pricing: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5

It is situated opposite of lalit great eastern hotel and just beside Manthan Songhais restaurant. We went there on a scorching summer day. The place is decorated well and is okay for having a drinks or two. We had beers. The price was a bit high than usual. But the thing that dissapointed us was the quantity of food we ordered. We ordered egg fried rice and it was merely enough for one person. The quality of the schezwan chcken was so so. The quality of the food needs improvement highly.

Opens after 11 and virtually "closes" within 3 p.m. U can't order until after 5 p.m! Food quality is not at all upto the mark. Staff are well behaved though.
