Buzz Original — Restaurant in Kolkata

Dining date: 31st December 2021 We took away food for year-end office lunch. For me it was a lunch pack of momo, chicken fried rice and chilli chicken. The cost was reasonable at about Rs 220.

The food was packed very well in a tight, compartmentalised container. There was no spillover of gravy.

There were two chicken steamed momos and four pieces of chicken. Sauce pouches were provided (chilli and tomato). The portion of rice was good for one. The momo was loaded with chicken, which was not to my liking. I found the filling a bit flat in taste. The taste of rice was good! Only that the chicken in rice lacked flavour and lt looked fairer than usual. The chilli chicken was decent. The chicken pieces were medium-sized and not cornflour-coated.

We also ordered a few dishes as snacks for the evening. The Sweet Chilli Prawn (made as dry as requested) was finger-licking good and the Salt n Pepper Chicken was...

I had previously rated this restaurant 5 stars. I was forced to update it to 2. This has nothing to do with the quality of the food, which as usual was excellent. However, being a regular diner at Buzz, I was offended by the management's attitude. My friends and I were in the middle of lunch, when the waiter/manager informed all of a sudden that we needed to hurry, and they would close down shortly. Now, you can't expect people to just gobble up food immediately and leave. We were more or less full and still had some way to go to completion, and were forced finish it fast, leaving us in a very uncomfortable state. And when I requested him to give us a mere 5 minutes before getting up, he curtly refused. Being a loyal customer, I did not expect this treatment. This is to say I won't be going there back...

The best thing about Buzz is their chicken pan fried momo. It costs only ₹80 bucks, and it's surprisingly good. Mostly, I order this item on Swiggy, but I have also visited the place once.

The place is dimly lit, so if you want to click pictures with food, this is not the ideal place to be. However, the food is good. They are pretty reasonable as well. We tried the chicken Hakka noodles and hot garlic chicken. Both were great. Especially, the hot garlic chicken.

They used shredded chicken, instead of diced ones, and I liked that part. Although, the noodles were pretty less in amount. Other restaurants of same standard provide with more quantity. So, that's one part where it needs to improve.

Also, carry hard cash. They don't accept e-wallets. And if the bill is lower than ₹500 they won't accept...
