Mamasan — Restaurant in Kolkata

I was invited here for their food tasting event. Mamasan is the youngest Oriental restaurant in the city, located beside 6 Ballygunge Place. If you are a fan of Oriental cuisine or want to experiment with some delicacies, this is the perfect place for you. You won't be dissapointed with anything you order. I visited this place for a food tasting event. The soothing ambience, the top-notch food and the warm hospitality is all one can ask for. The owner of this place was always around to assist us and give us the detailing of the dishes we were having. The place has a seating arrangement for around 50-60 persons. Coming to the food we had, For starters, SPICY LEMON BURNT GARLIC SOUP - The soup had a mild flavor of lemon which gave a beautiful essence to it. Shredded chicken and veggies were used in the preparation of this. MAMA'S DUMPLING CHICKEN - Dumplings are the Chinese name for Momo's. This dish contained thick dumplings with a chicken filling inside, panfried. These were so soft and once you have a bite you can relish the juicy chicken mixture that the dumpling was stuffed with. It was garnished with finely chopped coriander. KOREAN KIMCHI SALAD - Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish made with fermented vegetables. The salad has lots of fibre and less carbs. Diced chicken, shrimps and the veggies are tossed in some sauces and plated over some cabbage leaves This is the ultimate solution for those who want to avoid carbs and still want to gorge into something delicious. KOREAN CHICKEN WINGS - Juicy chicken wings tossed in sauce and garnished with spring onions. Soft and succulent pieces of chicken would melt in the mouth once you have bite. KOREAN BULGOGI CHICKEN - This is a must try for spicy food lovers. Thinly shaved meat marinated in sweet and sour sauce and then pan-fried. The pieces are soft and tasted great with the spicy gravy. After the plethora of Starters we headed to the main course. We had, MAMAK NEW GORENG - This is Fried noodles tossed in sauce and contains lots of veggies. Small pieces of chicken and veggies are used in preparing this. Garnished with spring onions. VIETNAMESE MUSHROOM RICE WITH RED CHILLIES - A wonderful blend of mushroom and rice. Chicken and eggs were used in this preparation with less vegetables and garnished with spring onions. GENERAL TAO CHICKEN - A wonderful chicken gravy to complement all the above mentioned main course delicacies with minimal spices. It has a sweet essence and the medium sized chicken pieces are deep fried. SOI 11 CHICKEN CURRY - This is a spicy preparation of chicken. Medium sized chicken pieces deep fried and cooked in a gravy with good amount of spices. After gorging onto all these oriental delicacies we ended the dinner on a sweet note with DARSHAN ICECREAM - Honey coated chips served with vanilla icecream was the best way to conclude our dinner. Overall I would recommend this place to all Oriental cuisine lovers. I would like to mention that the waiters were very efficient. The were serving food to around 10 of us and constantly taking care to find out what else we wanted or what service was required. Besides they kept heating the dishes that had become cold now and then. The food here is prepared with keeping hygienic as the...

Asian cuisine is my favorite as the dishes are not too heavy and flavorful as well. I have tried Asian food from many joints across Kolkata and while some of them really impressed me, others were really disappointing. After dining at Mamasan I have gladly added one more name to my list of "Go-to Asian Food Joints". It is located at 8-10 minutes walking distance from Ballygunje Phari, just beside 6 Ballygunje Place. I feasted on the following-

• MALASA THUMBS UP - Paired well with the meal! I loved the fact that they added lemon juice to it as well.

• CHICKEN SWEET CORN SOUP ----- RECOMMENDED! It was full of chicken bits, American corn. They do not use excess cornflour to thicken the soup, instead make it like an egg drop soup which adds more flavor to it.

• DRUMS OF HEAVEN - Highly Recommended!! The drums were of solid chicken pieces and did not have an unpleasant thick cornflour coating like the ones served at most places. The sauce had the perfect balance of spicy and sweet and also had a lovely hint of lime leaves.

• CHICKEN THAI CHILLI BASIL MOMO ----- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! It's fair to say these are the most succulent, delectable, heart-warming momos I have had. Packed with a delicious filling, these thinly coated momos are served with a teriyaki style dressing. Do not miss this one if you visit!

• CHICKEN THAI LEMON GRASS ROLL ----- RECOMMENDED! Again, one of the crunchiest, yummiest spring rolls I've had. The filling inside could have been a bit more generous but it was delicious anyway.

• BUTTER GARLIC FRIED RICE- It had generous quantity of American Corn. The rice used was of good quality. Quantity is enough for two people.

• ORIENTAL HAKKA NOODLES- It had generous quantities of veggies. Drizzle some soy sauce on it for the best experience.

• INDONESIAN SAMBHAL FISH- Loved the smokey flavour of the gravy. The fish was fresh and the slices were generous in size.

• CAMBODIAN CHILLI AND LIME CHICKEN ----- RECOMMENDED! Chicken meatballs prepared in a Teriyaki style. Paired really well with the rice. A must try!

• FRIED ICE CREAM ----- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Without a doubt, this is the my favorite fried ice cream ever! They use only dessicated coconut and no flour for the coating. It is very flavorful but not too sweet. Couldn't have asked for a better end to a perfect meal. Loved it! ❤️

The interiors are very pleasant. It can accommodate around 40-45 people at a time. The service is prompt and staff members are courteous.

Would I visit again? Definitely! The next time my Asian Food...

If you like Thai and Chinese delicacies, then Mamasan is the place you need to visit. It’s just Beside of 6 Ballygunge Place, having a soothing ambiance, the decoration of this place is moderate yet attracting. I and my fellow foodie friends visited there for Lunch. This place maintains their quality and quantity of their food as per the price point. Some of the items which won my heart were – Starter Section : Som Tum Veg Salad : This is a fresh salad originating from Northern Thailand. Well Dressed with Raw papayas, Bell Papers, tomatoes and zucchinis. It’s topped with peanuts which makes this salad a little crunchy.

That’s a kind of new experience for me. Mama’s Special Chicken Dumplings: Juicy and scrumptious chicken dumplings finished with teriyaki sauce. This were super Soft and presented very Beautifully. Asian Barbeque chicken : Chicken Slices were Cooked rightly and presented with the coating of barbeque sauce and sprinkled sesame seeds on the top of it. It’s tastes good but can be better if the pieces were little softer. Now Lets Go to The Main Course Section- We Had – Coriander & Burnt Garlic Fried Rice - Fried rice has many variations. This fried rice has two unique flavors which are dominant and imparts a delicious flavour to the dish. The over fried garlic imparts a strong garlic flavor while fresh coriander leaves balances it with a fresh leafy flavor.

Cambodian Chilli & Lime Pork -- roasted pork tossed in three chilli paste with honey, soy, lime and spices. The perfect balance of sweet, spicy and tangy.

Mixed Garlic Noodles : spicy Noodles Tossed in Finely chopped garlic and topped with spring Onion.
