South Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Kolkata

A restaurant that serves really good South Indian food at pocket friendly prices. They are situated behind Our Lady Queen of the Missions school in the vicinity of Quest Mall. There is usually parking available for bikes on the pavement but if you drive a car then look for parking near the Park Circus market in the lane towards the school.

The restaurant is usually crowded in the afternoons when the school gives over and the office crowd from area and also regulars. They have a 38 seater space and it is clean. The kitchen is functionally clean and tidy and the food is always prepared fresh. They also sell laddoos, kulkuls and banana chips at very reasonable prices. Recently they have added a Kwality freezer and stocks ice-cream too! Their Fruit salad is a favorite among the young regulars while filtered coffee is preferred by the matured crowd.

The owners are really nice people, friendly and happy. The staffs in this restaurant have been working for ages, in fact I remember all of them since 1980's.

The quality is good is awesome and hygiene checks in place.

Do visit. I give it my full...

Came in for Lunch on 23rd July 2021 around 4pm. It was not very full.

Ambiance: Nothing as such, a simple non-AC eatery.

Ordered: Paper Butter Sada Dosa Mixed Cheese Uttapam

Dosa(7/10): Pretty good in terms of quality. Could have used a little more butter, they put the dosa on a freshly washed, wet plate, which made parts of the dosa, Soggy. A decent buy for the price.

Uttapam (2/10): Completely bland, needed more salt, but it had no salt, making it pretty tasteless. The amount of cheese they put on it, it's not at all worth getting the cheese variant. Get a normal one if you want to eat a bland uttapam.

Service(4/10): Pretty poor. There is only 1 man on the floor handling the cleaning, serving food and condiments, taking orders, billing, etc. It's tough to get his attention, even if you need more Sambhar or Coconut chutney, it'll he tough to find him. But at times, he will come himself and serve you without having to ask.

Condiments: Sambhar was okay-ish, but looks yellow. Coconut...

An update to my diner friends on this outlet near Quest Mall. There has been a major overall drop in this place. The staff are very rude. The owner has become money minded at the cost of quality and rates. The dosas are burnt. They force you to buy expensive side dishes by telling the others are not available. The chutney is not more than a teaspoon !!! They have got these specially designed micro katoras that hold only about 2 teaspoon of chutney. You would be embarrassed to ask for more. They serve tea only to high paying customers. The overall quality is very poor and to a level of being avoided. For good food, you can try Udipi in Lake Road or any Idly Go Express. It is pure compulsive if one has to go to this restaurant anymore. I write this as an old patron of the place and an F&B...
