Tolly Tales — Restaurant in Kolkata

The name itself tells a tale. Tolly Tales travels you back to the retro era of tollywood and bollywood. A huge stage light right at the entrance gives you a ‘cinema para’ feeling. To add to the eccentricity of the place there was a pulled rickshaw hanging from the wall. The graffiti on the wall including Dev’s one giant illustration is impressively done. The posters are carefully selected to represent almost all the genres of Indian cinema. A projector was showing some Bengali music channel on a white screen on the wall. There was also a greenroom -like mirror towards the washroom.

The waiters remained patient as I took numerous pictures running from one end to the other. They were also heedful while taking the orders. We had a brunch on dashami and had to choose from a selective Durga Pujo menu. The starter, Mixed Herbs Pan shear Chicken, was succulent. The rest of the food was average.

At the waiting area some books were hanging from the ceiling as a part of the decoration. Although it looked good but as a booklover I hope they did not destroy good books just for the sake of the interior. One more thing, instead of playing remakes of good old songs I would suggest them to play...

Finally visited, one of my bookmarked places.. As per the reviews on Zomato, this place indeed has an amazing ambience!! While entering the place, you are welcomed by extremely pleasant staff. The decor and dim lighting, instantly makes your mood delight. The menu offers a wide variety of mouth watering starters, from which Chicken Caesar Salad, Orange Ginger Chicken Wings and Draught Beer made their way out to our table 😋 The quality and quantity both satisfies our tummy. Please ignore the price of liquor showing under the Bar menu on Zomato, as they are not updated. 1lt of Draught beer costs Rs.450 instead of Rs.360. Overall I had a pleasant dining experience at Tolly Tales. Hope to visit soon for tasting the other dishes from...

The initial interest to go was ignited by the fact that this was Dev's restaurant. But then once we were at the place we just fell in love with the theme based decor of the restaurant.

It's a wonderful place for small get-togethers because they have a small lounge where you can really chill with your family and friends. The kids in our group too had a lovely time with the space available.

But the best part was the food and the mocktails. We tried Indian, Chinese and continental cuisine and found all of them to be equally yummy.

The children had a gala time with the mocktails like Italian smooch and polar bear. The service is also really fast...
