Capella is a new addition to rooftop restaurant in Sector 5, Salt lake.I had visited Capella with my sister today afternoon. It has a grand and quirky decor.It can be easily located at the 20th floor of ambuja ecocentre building close to karunamoyee. The place is decorated with movie posters and dialogues. I loved that idea. From the very entrance and the look of the place it seems to be a very classy decor. We had opted for lunch buffet as no a la carte is available during the lunch hours.Even though the spread was not huge I personally liked the quality of the food. We started with a bowl of clear soup which was good. There was a large spread of salads available with cous cous and quinoa and nuts and cheese. I particularly loved the chicken salad and the pasta that was served. They served 2 veg starters and 2 non veg starters on the table i.e. murg malai kabab, chilli garlic fish, harabhara kabab and babycorn konjee.The main course had both veg and non veg dishes with any bread of your choice. We tasted saffron pulao,murg pesto butter masala, lamb shank in rustic tomato sauce. We also tasted hakka noodles with fish in chilli garlic sauce. I also tried the corn and green pecout and cheese cannelleni.Out of all the main course item I tasted I really liked the cheese cannelleni and the murg pesto butter masala, everything else seemed nothing special. The dessert spread is less compared to other buffet places around. There was two kinds of pastries, blueberry cheesecake, nutty break cake, assorted mousse and gulab jamun. Though the spread was not too lavish, all the items tasted good. The pocket pinch was 1500 for two. The staff changed the used plates every time we moved to the buffet counter and refilled the water glasses timely.So the staff seemed attentive and courteous. Finally the view❤ They dont open the open section for lunch. So we finished our lunch at the closed section and moved to the open section for some time. The view from the 20th floor was spectacular.That is basically the best thing about Capella. I would definitely recommend Capella to...
Read moreAltAir Boutique Hotel. I live towards south Kolkata, leaving all the restaurants and lounge in the heart of the city, I took my friends to AltAir in north Kolkata. The experience with service was so sad and disappointing. No one was attending our table, we had placed orders for drinks, the person who had taken the order forgot to order at the bar, the second time we ordered for a glass of water, the lady took the order, left, stood near the entrance and forgot about the order. Whenever we ordered something, we had to ask them about it once again as they did not inform how much time they would take and the amount of time they were taking to get orders on our table was beyond the extended time I have experienced anywhere else. We had to request them for tissue paper, We ordered for food there were no plates on the table, no chilli flakes and oregano with garlic bread. Since no one was attending our table, I had to leave the table, walk upto the counter and asked someone to attend our table. I understand when a placed is crowded the service becomes slower due to the rush, but we were there till 1130, only 3 tables were occupied including ours, yet no one was available to serve us. Overall a very bad experience with such a nice place. Would never visit nor would recommend any of my friends and family. Do not...
Read moreThis hotel is highly irresponsible and the service is bad. Here's a full description of what to expect: Park at your own risk - this is my first time staying in a hotel where they don't take responsibility for your cars, no valet, no parking, you've to park at a local commercial space at your own risk WiFi turned off at night - they save money by turning off WiFi at night Horrible service - everyone sleeps at night and if you need service at night (24x7), which is what they claim to provide, you'll have to walk up to the reception and wake them up in the middle of the night Food is below average and the taste is really bad And now for the best part - they employ liars - Their manager Soham Chatterjee lied to me in my face while pretending to help me when I lost my jewellery (real jewellery). I lost my jewellery and asked management to check and Soham assured me they have. But the following day while checking CCTV footage I realised they actually hadn't. The jewellery fell around the stage and if they had actually checked before outside vendors came in, they'd had 100% found it. Also at this point after this experience, I'm unsure if the hotel staff themselves stole it.
Overall, my recommendation is to never go to this hotel. It's horrible and...
