Park Street Restaurant,Bengaluru — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Have visited once with family and then ordered through Zomato. On the plus side, ambience is okayish, need cleaner tables but the behavior of the owner and staff has been very good. Coming to food, not sure if it was their bad day but the experience has been disappointing, twice. Clearly, the cook seems to be reading the receipe from somewhere but needs a lot of practice to gain the finesse that is associated with a typical Bengali dish. Bengali cuisine sounds simple in approach but equally complex in execution. Here are the details: Fish batter fry or Fish Orly is a serious dish and what we got was a lot of weird batter, little bit of fish and felt like "tele-bhaja". Luchi was thankfully pure maida and felt just like what it should. Chicken was again a bit watery, no proper amount of meat. Chicken Egg roll was a big mess, not sure where this concept of putting cooked-gravy stuff into roll is coming up? It is not about this restaurant but pretty much all joints that try to sell "authentic kolkata or kati rolls", so I can excuse Parkstreet. Others I have tried, Egg Mughlai Parota, EggDevil, Egg Roll, Fish Roll, Onion pakora, Chicken boneless pakora, Kolkata style Chicken Biriyani, boneless chilli chicken, masala pomfret. Mughlai parota was cleraly undercooked. Egg roll was shockingly a mess, couldn't eat. Egg Devil was a big mass of potatoes. Fish Roll had abundance of fish bones and the tensile strength of the fish cover was too much to bite into it. Chilli chicken was half way towards what it should be. Biriyani and Pomfret held a lot of promise but couldn't live up to it, taste was not there. Not to draw comparison here but for now, if I am looking for Bengali dishes, the options seem to be 6th Ballygunge place (closed permanently 😫, used to tell them what we want and they would cater to it. Great taste, ambience, Crab, Lobsters etc) Oh! Calcutta (oh! the price factor) Koshe Kasha (oh! the distance especially if I have to drive back; felt a tad below the taste served at Gariahat-Golpark joint but still good) Taste of Bengal (permanently closed 😡😫) Bangaliana aka Allen's Kitchen (Yelahanka, inconsistent quality) Bhojohori Manna (great cutlets, inventory seemed to be an issue) Esplanade (doesn't match cover price, not going there again)

I had really hoped that this joint close to my residence would finally be the Bengali solution to my food woes but alas, not to be. There are plenty of eateries around and none to talk about. Hoping Park Street evetually lives upto it's name and don't become yet another joint in the locality. I will probably give it another go, Bengali cuisine is so vast, you never know which dish is their forte, I could use that and a few...

Went to Park Street on the occasion of poila boisakh. There was a veg buffet that was being arranged for the occasion and any other non veg add ons to go with that. Instead of taking the veg buffet for 499 per person we ordered 4 basanti pulao and mutton kosha combos and 1 plate of fish fries. The food was nice. After that we ordered fish paturi from the non veg add ons that were there on the menu. The fish that they served was completely raw and with scales. We called the manager . First time he did not respond, second time he came and argued that the fish cannot be raw, third time he came angrily and said that if we don't want to pay we don't have to and said they were not prepared for the same although it was put up on the poila boisakh special menu. Very disappointed with the quality of food and the disrespect that the manager showed towards us. Service was not at all good. They were more focussed on swiggy and zomato deliveries than dine in customers. Today's experience with the restuarant...
