PORT 15 — Restaurant in Bidhannagar

So Finally Was At The Newly Opened Themed Pure Ved Restaurant Which I've Wanted To Visit Since A Long Time With Family.

Location : CB 15, CB Block Salt Lake, Near CC1. Opposite To Puruliya Bhawan.

Ambience & Feel : Well A Full Railways Based Restaurant. Right When You Enter, You'll Get The Feels Of Dockyard Types. With Hanging Lights Over Tables In Shape Of Containers. Small Tracks All Over The Place, On The Boundaries. Even It Has Been Connected From Outside. Pretty Decor, Comfortable Seating. The Toy Train Brings The Starting Complimentary Sauces And Chutneys With Some Lavash Crisps To Have Till You Order Starters. All Walls And Table And Crockery Had Some Symbols Or Paintings To Make You Feel The Theme. Main Attraction Is Their Rail Setup.

Service & Staff : Quite Fast Service And Very Humble Staff. Very Well Behaved.

Food :

Starters : • Achari Paneer Tikka Rs 345 : House Special Spices And Tangy Achar Is Marinated Overnight To Bring In Outstanding Flavours When Roastes In Clay Oven With In House Cottage Cheese. To Be Really Honest, I Didn't Like It Very Much Felt It To Be Classic Paneer Tikka Only. Paneer Was Soft And Full Of Flavours.

• Crispy Chilli BabyCorn Rs 285 : An Ethnic BabyCorn Dish Superbly Popular As A Starter Everywhere. No Details Required, The Sentence Says It All. Best.

• Lasagne Alle Vegetariane Rs 355 : Layers Of Flat Pasta Sheet Baked With Alternating Layer Of Slow Cooked Vegetables And Cheese. Really Loved The Layers, Perfectly Cooked And Cheesy Completely. Was A Less Spicy, I Think The Red Gravy Could Have Been Made A Bit Spicy. Overall Liked It. Presentation Was Bang On, Haven't Seen Anything Presented Like This Anywhere.

• Jalapeno Cheese Poppers Rs 235 : Bite Sized Fried Jalapenos Poppers Pack A Punch With The Cream Cheese Filling. Best Of The Starters, Completely Filles With Melting Cheese. And Lovely Presentation. Delicious. Mamy Big Restaurants Aren't Able To Serve Such Cheese Poppers.

• Cheese Fondue Rs 575 : Special Cheese Sauce Made With 5 Different Types Of Cheese And Served With Grilled Sauteed Veggies And Toasted Tuscan Bread Cubes. Loved The Cheesy Dip, Was Droolicious. And Having The Veggies Drowned In It Was The Best Part. Like It Was Cheese All The Way..!! The Sauce Wasn't Too Thick Nor Too Liquidy, Perfectly Balanced. And The Flavours Of Herbs Were Also In Perfect Proportion. Best Were The Grilled Sauteed Veggies, Man O Man, Could Have It With Plain Roti Also. It Had Mix Of Baby Potatoes, Carrot, Babycorn, Black And Green Olives And Broccoli.

Main Course : • Dumpukt Paneer Rs 395 : Makhani Paneer Cooked In Seasoned Onion Tomato Gravy And Served With Live Charcoal Imparting A Lovely Flavour. I Really Loved The Taste, Delicious Gravy, We All Loved It. Must Try If You Are Here. Only One Set Back, I Personally Felt It Was Over Salty. Should Have Added A Less Salt.

• Dal Makhani Rs 335 : Black Urad Dal Simmered Overnight On Clay Oven And Cooked With Tomatoes And Fresh Cream. Perfect Dal, Creamy And Yummy.

• Nawabi Malai Kofta Rs 395 : Lucknow Koftas Stuffed With Dry Fruits And Served In Rich In Texture Cashew Gravy. The Awesome Cashew Gravy Just Took The Dish To A Next Level, Sweet And Delicious.

• Hyderabadi Dum Biryani Rs 295 : Classic Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, The Thing Which I Would Like To Point Out Is. It Was Obviously Packed With Flavours Completely, Delicious. My Point Was That It Wasn't Heavy, Generally After Having Rice We Start Feeling Heaviness, But The Rice Was Light And Being A Biryani It Definitely Was Light. Which I Liked The Most..!!

• Butter Masala Kulcha Rs 115 • Butter Roomali Chapati Rs 85 • Butter Tandoori Roti Rs 85

All The Breads Were Super Soft And Delicious, Liked All.

Mocktail :

• Shot 15 Rs 185 : A Special Drink Made From The Mix Of Guava Juice, Rock Salt, Black Pepper, Fresh Lime Juice And Capsico Sauce. Was Amazing To Have, A Bit Spicy And Tangy Drink Decorated With Coriander Leaves.

And Finally While Paying The Bill, Got The Lovely Cute Small Hajma Shots Bottles To Digest Your Food.

Autopsical Rating : Food...

To my surprise ...i loved this place... The ambience i would say is decent...bt the eye-catching factor wud b its toytrain serving the appetizer plus the menu...my son was super excited and engaged the entire time...

Coming to staffs...the one who was assigned to our table was not well versed of the details of the items and also lacked suggestions... Thank God!! Another one took over for solving the queries ...

At the start they provide complimentary appetizer (lavash) with around 4 to 5 kinds of dips...( Mint chutney...pineapple dip...salsa... ketchup... mayonnaise cheesy dip)

Rarely we find a tomato soup to be tasty...bt this one won my heart( although a little sweet it was)...

Corn soup was again good...

We ordered their specialies... Corn kebab and Charcoal paneer... Corn kebab was okayish bt panir was actually quite good...

Babycorn was a dissapointment...too sweet ... probably full of ketchup...

Veg au gratin wasnt at par with the price... Quantity was less plus it wasnt in the right consistently (least expected)

Next for main course we again taken their speciality call... Charcoal naan, bullet kofta and spinach corn( our choice)... Charcoal naan a super disaster...tasteless ...infact a simple butter naan imparts a much better taste..

Bullet kofta was the showstopper... Perfect mix of sweet tangy and spices in the garvy...with paneer koftas in bullet shape...

Spinach corn was too average...needs improvement...

They also serve kulchas in wheat dough...which again is an advantage for the health freaks...

We ordered a virgin mojito plus fresh lime soda too... Mojito was good bt fresh lime wasnt upto the mark...

At the end they serve u churan shots... Dissolved churan in mini plastic bottles.. for better digestion...a new kind of concept here in Kolkata...

All in all a thumbs up...

The food is really good! The service as well as the ambience is also superb!💯✨ It was during this time Durga Puja(Navami), the rush was intense and however we managed to get a table at 10.45 pm after immense search for restaurants. We quickly glanced through the menu and ordered 2 starters which were served in no time followed by main course meal. The best part was that the manager was really humble as we had ordered one of the dishes for main course, the dish didn't turn out well, so while the waiter was seeking for feedback from us we complimented the whole food apart from that dish..which was genuine. The waiter on the other side went and informed the manager, no sooner did we give our feedback..than we were offered a compensated dish! We were surprised and we denied for it.. however the manager was really keen and he insisted to recover the mistake done by offering us a compensated dish. That was really a kind gesture..as during Puja with unpredictable crowd it is difficult to cater to each table and attend to the fullest.

We were really impressed by the the service of...
