Cheese Cherry Pineapple — Restaurant in Kolkata

Went to this place because the ratings in Google is good and from the outside the place looks really cool but we had the most disgusting and disappointing experience. We ordered mocktails Safe Sex On The Beach and Green Apple Mojito which were decent. Ordered Cheese Tikka Pizza where there was very little chicken and no tikka flavour and it cost us ₹599. Even the pizza from street stalls taste better than this. We ordered Hot Garlic Chicken which was again a huge disappointment, there was no salt and it was very bland. We asked them to take it away and get us another plate. The second time it at least had a little flavour but there was soooo much butter. Next we ordered Alio e olio spaghetti and OMG it felt like the chef was taking a revenge on us for what idk. It was HORRIBLE!! They have added soooo much oregano and chilli flakes that when we are it, it left a strong bitter aftertaste in the mouth. It had huge chunks of garlic 😔The chef has no idea what he's doing. Finally we had ordered Waffles with Icecream. The waiter asked us whether we would like our waffle crispy or SOGGY? I didn't know what to make of it???? I've had waffles many times abd no one has ever asked me this before. Then they took so much time and finally served us with a BURNT WAFFLE and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top with maple syrup and butter. The waffle smelled like how badly it was burnt. The ONLY GOOD thing was the vanilla ice cream since they didn't make it themselves. We were feeling quite hot and asked them to switch on the other AC. They said one is already on so we won't switch on the other one. Half of the light fixtures were not working. Through out the evening at least the staff didn't behave rudely so I'll give them that. It's a request to everyone save yourself and never go to this place to burn you hard earned money because that's...

My order was:

1. Safe Sex on the Beach (a mocktail)
2. Chelo Kebab
3. Gulab Jamun with Ice Cream

Now that being said, here is the honest opinion of me. For a total of ₹1509, it's NOT WORTH IT. Also, this is the price for a SINGLE PERSON'S meal.

Now why am I saying it, let me explain; Firstly, the mocktail. As a product, it's decent. I had better mocktails elsewhere, but for ₹400, I better want my mocktail to be full of gold leaves and truffles by the side with a huge entourage. I got nothing of that sort. Hell nah! Secondly, the chelo kebab was good, not the best but good. I still feel Peter Cat does a better job at this. What I liked in this platter is the chicken kebab. It's actually juicy and spicy from tandoor. But the mutton kebab was bad, downright bland compared to the chicken counterpart. Egg was alright. I feel like they use a little more premium version of regular Dawaat's regular basmati rice, but it's nothing spectacular. But for ₹600, it's not a bad deal but not an ideal deal. Thirdly, the gulab jamun with ice cream was downright insulting. At least for mocktails you're making something unique, but if you're just serving amul ice cream with some 4 small gulab jamuns on a mocktail glass, you shouldn't charge ₹350 for that. Now, I'm angry not at the price. It's their restaurant, they have the right to decide the price, but what I'm angry is about the execution. During order, I was informed I can get gulab jamun as hot or cold. So I choose hot gulab jamun. But, instead of serving me the gulab jamun by the side (since they're hot), they put them along with the ice cream. This resulted in fast melting of the ice cream and fast cooling the gulab jamun. And by the end, I couldn't enjoy it at all.

As a result, I'll NEVER recommend this...

My personal experience was not pleasant. The dessert and drinks were probably the most disappointing. We ordered a chocolate mousse, an herbal tea (I forget which one) and later a jaggery hot chocolate.

The mousse, picture shared, neither looked nor tasted like a mousse. There was a very generous serving of whipped cream on top but whatever was under was more like a melted chocolate milk than mousse.

I had ordered a tea and given the price on the menu, I think it was probably around 180, I did not expect it to be teabag tea. But that's what it was. Again, very disappointing to pay that much for one cup of tea at this place.

Finally my friend wanted to order jaggery hot chocolate and at the time of ordering, the server made sure by asking many times if my friend was sure about this order. They insisted that it would be very sweet and almost tried dissuading us from ordering! We both found it strange and amusing but anyway we ordered. When the hot chocolate came, my friend had a sip and then passed to me to ask if I could taste Jaggery at all and I couldn't. When we pointed it out, we were informed the jaggery had been minimized to stop it from being too sweet... I really didn't have words.

A woman who I think was the owner was sitting nearby and she said if they are asking just give it to them no... I mean for me the whole experience was surreal and not in a good way-- from management to food...
