Title: A Raw Deal: A Disastrous Dining Experience

Review:

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at CALCUTTA BISTRO and I must say, it was nothing short of a culinary catastrophe. From the moment I walked in, I could sense that something was off. Little did I know that I was about to embark on a gastronomic adventure that would leave me questioning my life choices.

Let's start with the service, or lack thereof. The staff seemed disinterested and unresponsive to the needs of the diners.

Now, let's talk about the food. Or should I say, the raw food? It was as if the chef had forgotten to cook our meals altogether. The Chicken RED THAI Curry I ordered was practically still mooing, and the chicken was so undercooked, I half expected it to cluck at me. Not only was the food raw, but it also lacked any semblance of flavor or seasoning. It was a sad and tasteless.Eventually when same was informed to the staff they replied that breast pieces are always uncooked.huh!

But perhaps the most disappointing aspect of my meal was the complete disregard for food safety. Serving raw meat is not only unsanitary but also poses a serious health risk. It is unacceptable for a restaurant to take such risks with the well-being of its patrons. I shudder to think of the consequences this negligence could have on someone with a weaker immune system.

From the lackluster service to the raw and flavorless food, it was a dining experience I would rather forget. I urge anyone considering dining at this establishment to think twice and choose a restaurant that prioritizes the basic principles of cooking and food safety. A raw...

My NY25 became special as I am a big time foodie so this restaurant gave me every reason to give it a 5-star. Food was so good and very palatable.Best for continental appetizers and main course. Surprisingly the Chinese dishes were also tasty , it's a good family restaurant with a vast menu. I feel this one is underrated in comparison with Chillie's as this one has more flavours and is pocket friendly. Must try if you visit Kolkata.

Out of 5 stars:

1)Buffalo style chicken wings -⭐⭐⭐(I don't like bbq sauce )

2)Carribbean Drumstick -⭐⭐⭐⭐

3)Chicken Sizzler-⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Grilled chicken with black pepper sauce ,few potato wedges, more rice and veggies and no sauce ,else everything same)

4)Basket chilli chicken -⭐⭐⭐⭐(little sweet for me)

5)Fish in lemon butter sauce- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (creamy and tender fish ,you can have mashed potatoes instead of herb rice)

6. Parmesan Chicken -⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Cheese inside chicken ,so cheese lovers would love it )

7)Crispy fish in garlic coriander sauce (Basa) -⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (So good , well balance of crispy and soft)

8. Grilled chicken with black pepper sauce -⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Chicken could be more tender , Chicken sizzler and this is kinda same , only difference is you get sauce with this and the portion is small)

9. Gandharaj kathi chicken -⭐⭐⭐⭐ (It tastes more Indian than a continental dish)

10. Moroccan Chicken -⭐⭐⭐⭐(taste like Indian tikka so, avoid if you want something unique in continental appetizer, also I feet...

0 stars honestly. Went there to dine in with family. Main course was served late, after one full hour, despite telling the staff to serve us the starter and main course together. After 1 hour when the main course came, the chicken pieces in the kung pao chicken were fully raw and even the skin was present and visible. In the rice, the chicken pieces were raw and chewy. We showed that to the staff and they said the food comes like that only. Upon further complaining they changed the food and after 20 mins they came with the rice a nd chicken. The kung pao chicken pieces were the same- "raw". Nothing changed. We told that and the manager came and after seeing told his staff to cancel the chicken and 1 rice. No apology from the manager or the staff. Horrible experience. They kept on serving a table with 6-8 members but had no time for other customers. We went to dine but our experience lunch experience was ruined. And being a well known restaurant they have 0 hospitality, neither the manager nor the staff. Definitely lost me as a customer and I will never recommend this restaurant to my...
