Indthalia — Restaurant in Kolkata

On the right hand corner of road opposite to Basanti Devi College (Women) near Gariahat Junction (South Kolkata) is the eatery 'Indthalia'.

We visited today, i.e. Monday (30/10/23) afternoon, keeping our vehicle parked on Rashbehari Avenue itself!

Maybe owing to our odd timing, the traffic inside the restaurant was nil, barring us!

This made us more sceptic about the experience that was about to happen, since the existing reviews that we referred prior to coming over, mostly rated 'Indthalia' mediocre where the stars hovered between 3-3.5.....!!

We sat at the ground floor and found the place to be spacious with a transparent glass facia in front. This see through facia provides a road side view of the life that passes by.

Inside, we found the seating arrangements to be adequate, comfortable and simple. The color schemes on the walls, alongwith the inside brandings were gelling well with the decor! The audio system was playing popular music at a pleasant level. The menu card offered multicuisine, the design & layout of the card was basic & robust. Same with the cutleries, no frills yet clean & sturdy to serve the purpose! Table linens were clean and of solid color schemes.

The young lad (wearing spectacles) who took our orders and served, was extremely courteous & well behaved. He seemed to us like a PG student serving customers with a smiling face! Even the others who chipped in whenever this Spec_Chap was busy, they were all very soft-spoken and polite !

We ordered for the following: Fish & Chips (Fish Fry on menu card). Achari Kebab (Chicken). Indthalia Special Clear Soup (mixed). Garlic-Cheese Toast.

Service was real prompt, may be owing to the low footfall at that time, or may be they are generally prompt. I'm unable to clearly comment on this, (since this was our first visit to Indthalia), however based on our first experience, we have consensually rated the service at 'Indthalia' with 5 Stars!!

Now few words about the key component of an eatery, i.e. the food!! My wife clicked few photos of the food items which I have uploaded here.

The food was sumptuous, delicious and truly value for money!! We enjoyed the food so much so, that both of us instantly agreed to rate 5 stars to it's food (based on what we ordered and consumed) !!

To sum up, I can say that 'Indthalia' is a nice family dine-in place, which offers quality food at reasonable price with customer friendly services in a comfortable ambience and at a very convenient location.

Personally, I look forward to exploring this place more & more...

Indthalia... Ahh the saviour in the midst of Durga Puja Bhraman... Found it exactly when we were tired and needed a break... Surprisingly we found it vacant. We were 21 of us and we got to sit without waiting (Quite surprising during Durga Puja time)... Fairly good looking place, we ordered our food... As we were waiting eagerly for the food to arrive we found time to click pics and gossip... We were not to positive about the food that was coming, as normally it is not during a festive season rush... But we were amazed as the food sounded great plus it was freshly cooked and served in appropriate time... The only issue was with the tandoori roti which was not cooked properly and they promptly replaced it with a fresh one when we complained... So in all good service... nice location (in a lane near R.B. Avenue)... good food... and a good feeling about the place... Would obviously go a...

Indthalia has been a must visit during Durga puja for last 2 years. Despite being located at a very busy place near Gariahat, the restaurant is usually mildly crowded. They do serve excellent food and is on mid-high budget scale. Ambience of the restaurant is nice and clean but the washroom area is bit odd. Since the kitchen and washroom are at the same adjacent place, the tiled floor is slippery due to excessive water there at the washroom entrance and the staffs hardly paying attention to that. Apart from that the food is really nice. Must try is their...
