In a world where Pasta not only features in the menu of every cafe, but also comes in instant boil and eat packets, I am surely a misfit. Well, I too have had my share of ‘Pink Pasta’ and ‘Tandoori Pasta’ and even a ‘Thai Green Curry Pasta’, and have secretly enjoyed some of them…

The Lazy Woman’s Pesto
Have you ever had days when you woke up and craved to gorge into one particular thing? No? Lucky you. But sadly, last Saturday was exactly that kind of a day for me, when I woke up craving for a hearty pesto spaghetti. I am a person who generally doesn’t order in food. I prefer…
A Sunny Sunday at Serafina
Serafna is one of my favorite fancy places to eat out in the city. The food here is amazing, and they certainly know how to make some mind-blowing risotto. The meats, in dark, rich, caramelized glazings are every meat-lovers’ dream come true. The desserts too are elegant, specially their signature tiramisu with an ample punch…
Get ready with your Fork and Knife to dig in @Fork & Knife!
Today in this age of specialization, most of the restaurants which are opening up around us, have a specific theme or a cuisine they focus on. So most of our plans now are like, “Let’s go for an Italian dinner” or “Oh! We must try the new Chinese place”. And though I love cuisine based, or…
The coolest new Burger hot-spot in town at My Big Fat Belly
My love for burgers, sliders, sandwiches and wraps is a saga worth celebrating. Fillings and dressings, with a touch of seasoning, between two pieces of bread are what my dreams are made up of. So the ‘My Big Fat Belly’, the newly opened place in Sarat Bose Road, is totally my kind of a place!…
The Park Street Newbies, all set to Steal the Show!
A few days back I posted on the Classic Park Street Pit-stops, (Classic Pit-Stops at Park Street:) eateries which have defined the original Food Street of Calcutta for ages now. So, to not post about the new entrants of Park Street would almost be a sin now. The new players are not just doing well, but…
Crossroad Cafe -Where happiness isn’t Pricey:
I was intrigued by the pictures of their food on Instagram, and had it pretty high up on my wishlist for some time. The nice little cafe, has a bright, happy feel to it and the genial servers welcomed me with a beaming smile as I entered. I went there with friends old and new for…
Classic Pit-Stops at Park Street:
Park Street is the original food street of Calcutta. No matter how many new places open up at Sarat Bose Road, or Rajarhat, this is one basic fact which remains unchanged in the lives of us, the Calcuttans. Many of once-fancy restaurants of Park Street have now been closed down, or have been reduced to…
A Happy Me at the M Bar Kitchen:
One of the relatively new entrants in the Park Street food scene is the M Bar Kitchen. Notably, it is one of those places in the city which boast of serving food with Molecular Gastronomy tricks for the visual delight. Located well inside the Magma House, this place can be pretty tricky to locate, in…
Raj Spanish Cafe- Sudden joy at Sudder Street
I first went to this place on a lazy rainy afternoon, when the entire place was empty. The tables, arranged in a neat straight line, have a corresponding charging point, and that is something I really liked because I am a person whose phone/laptop is perennially out of charge. Each table has a tray packed…
Spaghetti Kitchen, Kolkata
I love Spaghetti Kitchen. There’s something about it which seems to be magical. The view from the glass sides is not very amazing, but the tables with Mosaic tops, the complementary bread basket with warm, soft buns in various shapes and sizes, the coarse sea salt instead of the normal table salt everything adds up…
