Mirage, the poolside resto-bar of The Stadel is a great place to hangout with friends & family alike. The setting is marvellous, with the swimming pool in the backdrop adding to the charm. Have been here a couple of times. Recently PanchPhoron was invited over to try the dishes from the special Rooster menu.

The dishes we tried were as follows:

Chicken Maryland:

We started with the American dish. Large pieces of marinated chicken , dusted with flour & deep fried, this are the big brothers of chicken wings. The pieces were sitting atop mashed potatoes & served with cream gravy & a hot sauce as accompaniments. The flour coat was optimal, & the chickens juicy inside. Though I didn't try the accompanying sauce, I made it sure to clean the mashed potatoes & cream gravy off the plate.

Jamaican Jerk Chicken:

From America to the Caribbeans. We had this wonderful grilled chicken marinated with jerk spices. The moist & tender meat had imbibed the tropical flavours. The accompanying potato wedges were a perfect compliment to the chickens.

Roast Chicken with Rosemary:

Next coming to the Italian, we tried this one. A full chicken oven roasted with italian herbs & served with potato wedges & salad. The roasted rooster was amazingly tasty, the meat tender, rosemary adding to the taste all the more.

Poulet Epinard:

Moving on to the next European dish, we had this French one. Chicken breasts stuffed with creamy spinach mushroom sauce & buttered vegetables, this was one creamy & juicy dish. I have a soft corner for white sauce based gravies, this one was sure to impress me, others liked it as well.

Chicken Calvados:

Another French delicacy, this one was boneless chicken breast with sliced mushrooms & brandy cream sauce. This too was amazingly tasty.

Asian Spicy Chicken:

This Oriental dish with broccoli, red & green bell pepper, baby corn, mushroom, zucchini & onions in chef's special sauce is a hotchpotch of flavours & colours. The diced chicken pieces imbibe the flavours well & is a must try.

I'm sure apart from these six the other items on the menu are as tasty as well, if not more. So if you are looking forward to digging into some chicken & lick your fingers clean do head over to Mirage-The Stadel & try some roosters from the menu. The rooster dishes are accompanied with any two accompaniments of your choice from boiled veggies, mashed potato, potato wedges, garlic breads or herbed pilaf rice. We tried each of the accompaniments, & found out each were equally good.

Wait no more & get your hands upon some of the tastiest chicken delicacies available right now in Kolkata.

Happy Eating

Cheers
