Darao Pathik Bor — Restaurant in West Bengal

Darao pothik bor is one of the best multi cuisine restaurant near dumdum junction. The Bengali term " darao pothik bor " was coined by Michael Madhusudan Dutta in one of his famous Bengali poems whose lines are still inscribed in his tomb . It literally means asking for the attention of people passing by . Similarly the restaurant has such a grand look from outside and it ask the pedestrians to stop and try this place out.

How to reach ? It's just a few minutes walk from dumdum metro station or rail station , so it is very easily accessible both via metro and train . Every bus going towards dumdum will also get you to this place.

What to expect? Their hospitality is their biggest strength , they know how to treat guests . They have huge sitting capacity including both ground and first floor. Beautifully decorated place , fully air conditioned , live tv and some good music being played in the background that will surely win the heart of a true bengali .

How is the food? Undoubtedly they excell in both chinese and Indian cuisine . We tried a few dishes from both of these and hardly I have anything to complain . Let's get into further details .

We kicked off with the popular tandoori chicken , served in a unique way , over a small grill with burning charcoal helping the skewered chicken , cook to perfection. It was served on the table , hot . There was an infused smokiness in it along with the usual spices . The portion was great . I enjoyed every bite of it .

Next I had their crispy baby corn which was again a winner in terms of both quantity and quality.

Moving to the mains , we tried Kung pao chicken and paired it with mixed halka noodles . Honestly speaking nobody will provide you with such a huge quantity at this price . The mixed halka noodles had lots of chicken , prawn , egg , veggies. The Kung pao chicken as it is supposed to be had small cubes of chicken , cashew nuts ,peppers and onions stir fried . Most probably the name of this dish has been derived from the name of a late Chinese official.

From the Indian section I had their special murg biryani with special dak bunglow . The biryani had two big pieces of chicken , one potato and on egg , more enough for a healthy person to satisfy his cravings if he tries it with their special dak bunglow which again comes with two chicken pieces , two mutton pieces and two eggs cooked in a rich , spicy , brown gravy . It's too heavy for one person so better be shared by two .

Finishing off with their fried ice cream , which isn't easily available everywhere which is made with scoop of mango ice cream coated with breadcrumbs and deep fried. This is to be served immediately as the ice cream inside will melt . This hot and cold combination is always a show stealer.

My picks would include the tandoori chicken , the special dak bunglow , Kung pao chicken and of course the fried ice cream is a must if you haven't tried it yet, this is the place where you would get it easily and at the...
