TFO The Factory Outlet — Restaurant in Kolkata

I went to this place two days back for dinner. While entering, I saw several awards displayed at the entrance which seemed quite catchy. After entering the restaurant, what caught my eye was the live pizza oven. The ambience of the restaurant was very nice but it could have something more. I felt something was missing. The decoration is basically pink, which is rather intriguing but lack of adequate lights make it difficult to understand the brightness of the colour. The half-cage sitting arrangements can lift up your mood as well as give you great picture background. The sets are comfy enough to make you relaxed.

The food of the place had quite crisp menu including the liquor chart which I loved. Keeping less menu makes the chef give his/her best to the dish they are preparing. I went through the Menu Card minutely which they handed over to me. I wanted to order something that is flavourful and let my tongue remember the taste even after I finish my dish. So I ordered 1 Classic Fish & Chips for starter, 1 Bbq Chicken Sizzler and 1 Strogonoff of Chicken from the Food Menu; and 1 Rocket Fuel for me and 1 Budwieser for my partner from the Liquor Chart. To my expectations, the cocktail looked fabulous. The Fish & Chips was made with original Bhetki and served with mayo dip. To me, the french fries could have been better. It's a little over cooked which made it chewey. I was waiting for the main course to arrive. The Sizzler came piping hot and I love the sound of platter, the way it sizzles. This dish tasted good as I could taste the Bbq sauce on the chicken teamed with noodles beneath it. Vegetables served with it could have more varieties rather than giving so much french fries again. The next dish arrived within 5 minutes of the first dish. This dish was plated well as well. White chicken with gravy and flavoured rice in the middle, served with mini garlic bread and again french fries. If you are looking for an individual platter, then it's good. But when you are in groups, french fries in every dish is a little repetitive and boring.

The food was good but the restaurant is a little pricey. The place is good to hangout with friends and family. The Factory Outlet does not allow Sheesha (hookah). So those of you who want to enjoy a meal with good food and drinks, then you can definitely go to this place for a change. You won't regret the food served over here. The bill also came in an handmade desi style colourful rickshaw memento which caught my eye and mind. I'll definitely look forward to buy an...

TFO is a wonderful picturesque restaurant situated on the 4th floor of the westside building on Camac Street. The place doesn't get too crowded and the pink theme adds to the charm, making it a perfect place for having relaxed and long conversations.

Went there at the beginning of January this year for a peaceful lunch with a friend and was very pleased with the experience.

The staffs were very courteous and the service was prompt. Even though we were only 2, they let us sit in the half-open birdcage-like seating area which was really pretty.

Coming to the drinks & food, these were our orders:

Tequila shots: They were then having an ongoing happy hour of buy 2 get 1 free, so we bought  4 shots and got 6.

Gondhoraj & Ampanna Mojito: A twisted take on the classic mojito, it was exceptionally refreshing because of the gondhoraj and a nice change. So, definitely recommended!

TFO Cheese Garlic Bread: Cheese, herby, garlicky, crunchy and delicious. I think we ordered the jumbo one and it came with 6 pcs of this cheesy goodness. Do try it out if you are a garlic bread enthusiast!

Chicken Shish Taouk: Did not like it. There was a very strong distinct herb flavour on the chicken that I did not enjoy though the chicken was tender. The dips weren't that great either. Not recommended!

Chicken Souvlaki: The chicken was tender and extremely flavourful. The spices hit the right spot and the dips were also spot on. This one is a must-try!

Spaghetti Aglio E Olio (chicken): Served with complimentary garlic knots, this was my favourite of all. The delicate taste of the sauce because of the garlic and olive oil was amazing, and the sun-dried tomato added extra flavour. This one is another must-try item from their menu!

The TFO Bomb: The highlight of the meal was the dessert. The entire process of them pouring the hot chocolate sauce on the chocolate dome, it melting and revealing the delicious brownie and ice cream was an experience in itself. Do not forget to try this one out when you visit TFO!!

The food, ambience, and hospitality of the staff added to a great experience there. The pocket pinch was decent as well. Will definitely visit again to try out...

TFO was on my wish list for long time. Obviously the main attraction of this place is their ambiance and that is classy, unique and extreamly attractive. It makes this place perfect for a small date.

I really wanted to try their baked dishes, after-all they have a open oven and after seeing that what else could I've wished for. Service guys were little too unprofessional but they were fast enough to serve our order within 20-25 minutes.

Chicken Salami Romanesque Pizza @ Rs.425 (5/5) This wasn't any small sized tea party pizza, it was large 10", solid 8 slices and very filling. Apart from Chicken Salami and lots of Mozzarella their add on pesto sauce made it taste just incredible. A must try here, but do eat it hot.

Herb Embedded Lasagne with Layers of Med Veggies Topped with Cheese @ Rs.445 (5/5) The way this dish was served that instantly showed how experienced they're in baking. It was made by using minced chicken in layers of bed pasta with appropriate amount of cheese. I haven't seen such well balanced Lasagne in long time and that made it taste extremely good. It was also served with 4 small garlic breads. Overall this dish is also worth trying.

Pricing : I was on Gourmet Pass, so I got an incredible deal of 1+1. But even if you don't have that, the dishes they serve are worth every penny you spend here.

The only complain is that they added Service Charge of 10% without my permit. My only question to this kind of restaurant is...Don't you people pay salary to your staffs? Then why every person need to bare this extra amount?

Conclusion : This place is incredible. Food baked by them are simply amazing, so is their ambiance. If you're planning for a get together or this place is still in your wish list, then it's time to give...
