Koshe Kosha, Golpark — Restaurant in Kolkata

As an avid food enthusiast, I recently had the pleasure of dining at the renowned "Koshe Kosha," a restaurant celebrated for its exquisite Bengali cuisine. Nestled in the heart of the city, the restaurant instantly transports diners to the vibrant streets of Bengal with its warm ambiance and welcoming staff. During my visit, I had the opportunity to savor two of their signature dishes - "Kancha Lonka Murgi" and "Basanti Polao," and I must say, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary.

The star of the show was undoubtedly the "Kancha Lonka Murgi." From the moment it arrived at my table, the tantalizing aroma of spices filled the air. The dish featured succulent pieces of tender chicken, marinated to perfection with a blend of aromatic spices and the characteristic green chili paste. The use of "kancha lonka" (green chili) brought a unique piquancy that was both fiery and flavorful, enhancing every bite. The balance of spices was impeccable, as each note contributed to a symphony of flavors, leaving a lingering taste that delighted the palate. For those who relish a touch of heat in their meals, "Kancha Lonka Murgi" is an absolute must-try!

Complementing the spicy delight was the "Basanti Polao," a vibrant and aromatic saffron-infused rice dish that was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. The grains of rice were cooked to perfection, each separate and fluffy, exuding the fragrant essence of desi ghee. Adorned with delicate raisins and slivers of nuts, the "Basanti Polao" was a sweet symphony that perfectly balanced the boldness of the "Kancha Lonka Murgi." The combination of the two dishes was a delightful dance of flavors, showcasing the restaurant's mastery of blending different tastes in perfect harmony.

Throughout my dining experience, the attentive and friendly staff at "Koshe Kosha" demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the dishes they served. They provided helpful recommendations and explained the significance of each element, giving a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Bengali cuisine.

The attention to detail, the use of authentic ingredients, and the mastery of traditional Bengali cooking techniques all contributed to an outstanding dining experience at "Koshe Kosha." Whether you're a connoisseur of Bengali cuisine or simply looking to explore new culinary horizons, this restaurant offers a feast for the senses.

In conclusion, "Koshe Kosha" is a gem in the culinary landscape, especially for those seeking an authentic Bengali dining experience. The "Kancha Lonka Murgi" and "Basanti Polao" were exceptional dishes that left an indelible impression on my taste buds. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates the art of cooking and the magic of exploring diverse and...

Came in with my sister and brother-in-law on 23rd June 2022, evening around 7pm. Originally we planned to come to Karim's but it was sister's birthday and she wanted bengali cuisine at the last moment and we came in to Koshe Kosha. Their costs are a bit high as per their quality what we got today.

We ordered: 1x Fish Fry 1x Prawn Cutlet 3x Basanti Pulao 1x of Moshla Murgi, Kosha Mutton, Dhakai Mangsho (mutton). Gondhoraj Ghol and Aam Pora Sharbat

Details: Fish Bhetki Fry(9/10): One of the best! Good amount of fish and original Bhetki was used. Could have had a tad bit of salt more inside the filling.

Prawn Cutlet (6.5/10): Just average. It had good amount of prawn but the taste of the prawn was missing, the prawn itself had no taste.

Basanti Pulao (7.5/10): A bit dry as per our liking, but tasted fine. Would need a lot of gravy with it, which 3 side dishes didn't make up for.

Kosha Mutton(6/10): Again a decent dish. It has a bitter taste which might not be good as per your taste buds, neither did we like the bitter taste in it. The mutton was very tough and chewy as well.

Moshla Murgi (9/10): This was again one of the best. Well cooked chicken, delicious gravy and a must try. Good sized pieces as well.

Dhakai Mutton(7.5/10): Tastes better than the Kosha Mutton. This would also go well with Luchi. Mutton here as well was quite tough and chewy, less than the Kosha though.

Aam Pora sharbat (8/10): Very good at taste, good of you're coming in on a hot day for lunch.

Gondhoraj Ghol(8/10): This was also decent.

Special Mention: Green Chillies on a Tooth Pick in the salad. Very innovative!

Ambience(6.5/10): Not a very big restaurant. On first floor mobility would be a problem for anyone taller than 5'8". Nothing special as per their name or pricing.

Service (4/10): Good in terms of response, that's why 4 points. But the guy stands in front of you all the time, at the counter they have on the first floor. Feels wierd. Also we complained about the bitter kosha mangsho, very tough and chewy mutton, but they went ahead to tell story of how it is prepared and how so many people like it and how they don't use water and etc etc. Like, sir, no one wants to pay this high price for tough and chewy mutton, everyone like tender mutton, not too soft nor too tough, but what we got was rubber. And also the bitterness might be their signature and stuff but, it's not the same for everyone right?

To be honest, I had better mutton kosha at Absolute Barbeque buffet.

Overall aan average to decent experience as per the taste of food goes. Not the best in handling customer complaints as they work with the notion that what they cook is the best and nothings wrong with it and everyone is supposed to love the...

On 27th February we visited this place with lots of hope to have a sumptuous meal. What we ordered and how was our experience I will be mentioning categorically.

1. Aam pora Shorbot.. taste was good, however it was more like jaljeera.
2. Gondhoraj ghol.. ok
3. Bhetki Chingrir melbondhon.. decent amount of fresh bhetki but could not find any chingri coating, I wish we would have opted for plain bhetki fry. This dish seems to be overhyped and overpriced.
4. Chanar Dalna thali.. the thali contains dal, jhuri alu bhaja, alu phulkopir dalna, chhanar dalna, Aamer chatni, papad and rosogolla. Nothing to mention about the dishes, all are very much average in taste, alu phulkopi was tasteless and we could not eat the entire dish. Chhanar dalna was overly sweet and the dumplings were chewy.
5. Sorshe ilish thali.. same dishes with a piece of ilish. The piece was from the shoulder with lots of bones and bitter in taste. When we complained the crew came to us to explain how the piece was cut and prepared as if this is the first time we were eating ilish. Very disappointed.
6. Kochupata chingri bhapa.. tasted ok, however our throats were choked by the kochu pata, the itching was so intense that my husband started panicking and was not able to taste the chatni, which was overly sweet and the rosogolla which I found average in taste again. Our overall experience was not good enough to meet the expectations that has been created now a days. We came to Kolkata after 4 years and when we will be coming again in future this place will be out of our bucket list. Overhyped, overpriced, gloomy interior. We visited their Gol Park branch. Sorry...
