SOI - The Asian Street Kitchen — Restaurant in Kolkata

Good food gives you good vibes, for sure. But a great dine-out should have something more, like a good ambience, charming environment with cheerful soft music, plenty of options in the menu, courteous staffs ready to help, fast service, proper presentation of the meal and perfect taste to satisfy your gustatory cells. This place, located just near the Indian Museum, Kolkata fulfills every criteria of a skeptical foody like me. From entering the restaurant to getting out of it, my experience was wonderful. The staffs were educated, polite and proficient at their job. Since it was our first rendezvous at a south asian food joint, we were very enthusiastic and excited about the menu, not to mention almost clueless. But the waiter was such a gentleman, that he took all the trouble to decide the courses. We took "Tempura prawn" (akin to prawn Kobiraji) and "Magsha kai"(spicy cooked chicken wrapped in banana leaves, like Paturi) as starters. Then we went for some mocktails and cocktails until the main course arrived. I strongly recommend the Martini and the "Blue heaven". Indeed, it was heavenly. Then we tucked in the extravagant green rice, the "Leangs fried rice", "Kai hor bai" (Spicy chicken curry) and the "Kaeng kai" (lemongrass chicken). The restaurant officials were generous enough to offer a complimentary serving of steamed rice as well! We were so full that there was hardly any room for deserts..! And all these, with a pocket pinch of Rs. 4009/- only for 4 hungry adults! I cannot thank enough the decent waiter who made this convivial evening so memorable. I'd definitely give 6 star ratings if it was possible... Thanks you SOI-The Asian Street Kitchen, for serving delectable cuisine...

By the way, have you joined Kolkata Food Trotters on...

I have been there few days ago and till now I have visited here four times. And all of my visit to this place was excellent. It is located near the Indian Museum. The ambience is excellent with soft music, pretty decorated and spacious. The seating arrangements includes both chair and sofa seats, both are pretty comfortable​. The place has been divided into a food area and a bar. There is good spacing between tables so that it don't look crowded. Aside Brewed Beer and Draught Beer, all new kind of pulped flavoured draught beers are also available here. We have tried Orange flavoured Beer, which was too good. Also the Kingfisher Draught Beer is awesome. The quality of food was also very good and tasty, specially the starters. The service is excellent, staffs were warm, friendly and courteous enough. A huge thumbs up for the staffs. I will surely visit here again, also recommend this place...
