Oh! Calcutta

So my visit to Oh! Calcutta was just worth it. Having taken a day off from my job was really fruitful. My friends and I visited Oh! Calcutta for lunch and opted for Al a Carte. For starters, we tried Posto Narkol Tikki, Fulkopi Aam Kashondi Paturi and Fish Roll. My favourite among them would surely be the paturi. This is really hard to conceive how a vegetarian item with such simple items could taste so wonderful. This is a fairly simple dish but the taste is something which keeps you glued to this place. I'd choose this dish over our regular Ilish Paturi, anyday. Coming to the Fish Roll, it was very tasty as well. The crunchy crust and the core made of fish and shrimp paste, coupled with mustard sauce...that's what I call, my kinda starter. I'm not a fish guy but then, this fried roll was not our ordinary roll. This was indeed special. The Posto Narkol Tikki was amazing as well. I really wonder how the chef manages to bring out the flavours so well out of these common day to day items. For main course, we loved to go, the Bengali traditional way. We loved to have Steamed Rice, Daal and Gota Masalar Lal Murgi. Now, talking of bhaat and daal with some aalu bhaja, we all know that it is incomparable. That is always a bliss. But this was the first time that I had tried the Gota Masalar Lal Murgi. What we generally have it herbs and spices that are all finely ground and added to the food to infuse the flavors. Here, the whole spices were out into the food and was cooked over a slow flame to infuse the flavours. That's a really unique creation and I loved it. For desserts, we had Gulab Jamun and Butterscotch Ice Cream. I have been to the other branch at Forum Mall but I do feel that the ambience and the food is much better here. Thank you Oh! Calcutta for extending an invitation to me.
