New Aliah Hotel, Esplanade

This one was on my wishlist for quite a long time. Specially whenever name of biryani came up, someone was sure to swear that this belongs in the same league as Arsalan,Aminia etc. Even Zomato has this under 'Brilliant Biryani'collection. Now it was high time that I paid a visit.

Saptapadi,Gol Park

What comes to your mind when you first hear the name Saptapadi? Uttam Suchitra on a bike? Right? But we are not here to talk about that. Or maybe we are. Coz Saptapadi is the name of a restaurants in the city themed after, you guessed it right, the Uttam Suchitra starrer.

China Wok, Hindustan Park

Gone are the days when having Chinese food in Kolkata meant those age old chilli chicken & fried rice. Even the fancier name like schezwan chicken & dragon chicken have made their way into road side stalls. Its no wonder then that fine dining is no more restricted to costly & fancy restaurants. New eateries are springing up now & then, offering not only Cantonese/Mandarin but also authentic South East Asian cuisines like that of Thailand & Indonesia.

The Co. by Wok Anthems

My third food tasting event as part of the Paanch Phoron team.

The Co. may not be that familiar a name in Kolkata food scene, but 'Wok Anthem' definitely is. Or atleast was when it operated out of the small outlet at Salt Lake & then New Town. The idea of Thai / chinese in bento boxes really excited me a lot.Had bookmarked them as per suggestions from Zomato.

Home Flavour, Salt Lake

When the Panch phoron team was invited to try "Home Flavours", I thought we were visiting yet another newly opened restaurant. Lately I've been going out a lot, visiting new eateries, meeting new foodies, trying out new foods. But this one was somewhat different.
