Sir Anjan Dutta - Das Cabin, a song which I heard in the Nostalgic #1996 1997 when I was very small & my dad used to play it in cassette & I just loved it. One of my ‘all-time’ favourite songs! At childhood I just loved the rhythm, Lyrics partially mukhosto thakleo lyrics er mane bujhechi onek pore, boro hoye!
...ফিরে ফিরে সাতদিন দাসবাবুর এ কেবিন
কত প্রেমালাপে যায় ভরে
জায়গা নেই যে কোন আমাদের অন্য
তিনশ বছরের শহরে, এই তিনশ বছরের শহরে...
Nostalgia ey ami borabor e beshi rating di! Ebaar eo dilam and I don't regret!
...হাট-মাঠ সিনেমার হলটা
নেই যে কোন গলি-দলটা
একটু আপন করে বলবো কোথায় বল
মনের গোপন এই কথাটা
ময়দানে মীটিঙ্গে শোরগোল
গঙ্গার ঘাটে ভিখিরির দল
তাই ঘুরেফিরে দাসবাবুর এই কেবিনটা
রয়ে গেছে সবচেয়ে সস্তা...
Ta jai hok, very recently Zomato te khuje dekhi 'Shotti Ekta Das Cabin' bole restaurant ache! The moment I saw it, I knew ebaar toh jetei hobe...
...এক কাপ চায়ে কেটে যায় আধঘণ্টা
দুই কাঁপে পৌনে তিন
ফিশ-চপ নিলে পাক্কা চার ঘন্টা
ডিশকো-বিরাজী নিলে প্রায় সারাদিন
এইভাবে কেটে যায় কত কত সপ্তাহ
বয়স শুধুই যায় বেড়ে
ভবিষ্যৎটা সেই যেমনটি ছিল
রয়ে যায় নড়বরে
তবু ঘুরে সাতদিন দাসবাবুর এ কেবিন
কত প্রেমালাপে যায় ভরে
জায়গা নেই যে কোন আমাদের অন্য
তিনশ বছরের শহরে, এই তিনশ বছরের শহরে .....

...মাঝে মাঝে মনে হয় ধুচ্ছাই
এইবার আমি ঠিক পালাবোই
তবু রবিবার এলে সেই ঘুরেফিরে
দাসবাবুর কেবিনটাতে চলে যাই
সেই টেবলে আঁকি বুঁকিকাটা
কাগজের ন্যাপকিনে কবিতাটা
পর্দাটা টেনে দিয়ে পৃথিবীর সব ঝঞ্ঝাট
আমি ভুলে যাই..

Read moreThis place's food quantity/quality has been deteriorated immensely. Went went to this place on 1st April, 2022 to have Moghlai Paratha. Firstly the place is really cramped and crowded. We had to wait for around 10 minutes to get the table. Anyway we ordered two moghlai paratha. Moghlai Paratha costs Rs. 75/- and they took another 8 minutes to serve it. They oil soaked moghlai paratha came in a small plate. Moghlai paratha size is so small and thin with no crunch that its very hard to cut with the knife provided. Along with the ordinary boiled potato and sweet sause. The filling is so thin not like moghlai used to be and tastes totally worthless. I don't know why people go gaga over it. My friend asked for Chicken cutlet but we later regretted because chicken cutlet's cover or layering is so thick with small layer of chicken provided. Believe me we never experienced worst cutlet like this ever, the size is small as well. The chicken cutlet costs Rs. 70/- So, total Rs.290/- wasted. Please don't go to this place ever. Btw when i asked for the billl, They said we don't provide any bill to the...
Read moreCabins of Kolkata... The nostalgia of College Life...
Das Cabin in Gariahat is one of the famous places which carries this nostalgia for years. A line outside the small entrance, old wooden benches, old wooden tables - all of these make this place a living history in itself. And their food.... I already started to drool as soon as I started thinking about it.
Their Fish Kabiraji, Mughlai Paratha, Malai Kulfi (in Desert Item) - all are mouthwatering. The price is reasonable as well, as in high end restaurants you will get much higher prices for the same food item (with maybe lower quality of food). They use original Bhetki fish for their Kabiraji, and one such will keep your tummy full for hours.
However, you should not expect high end hospitality and table behaviour from their staff, neither from the crowd in there. This is a place for Food Lover, and if you really love the Cabin Food Culture of Old Calcutta, this should be in your Visit List as this is literally to me "A Food...
