    The restaurant is so wonderfully decorated that it looks like a lobby of a 5-star hotel. The soft instrumental music from the 90's playing inside the restaurant creates an amazing ambience. The price of the food items maybe a little bit costly, but the taste of the food is worth every penny. Despite of being a hard-core non veg eater, I didn't feel the absence of any meat items in my menu . It is very much recommended to every vegetarians.

    Let me tell you first if you are a vegetarian you must go and visit this restaurant, you cannot afford to miss it. Last weekend I visited this restaurant with my family for dinner & trust me we all just loved everything about the restaurant starting from Interior, Ambience, Food, Service like everything. The food was delicious, restaurant staff's too were quite friendly, the food too came on time, it was like a perfect dinner outing for us. On top of that on Sunday evening one can enjoy live music there while enjoying your delicious dinner. I will soon be attaching the video of their live performance. It's a must visit place guys... I'm sure you will enjoy & have a lovely time with your friends & family here.

    Good place. It's a new place so everything seemed clean and tidy. The people were extremely well behaved. The taste and quantity of food can be made better. I felt the taste was not something out of the box. maybe I will give them some time and visit the restaurant again after 2 or 3 months to comment again. Overall a nice place to try variety of food. A must visit place if u wanted to try a new place with ossam ambience.

    Amongst the little options for pure veg restaurants in the nearby localities, I liked the food, services and ambience of the restaurant. Food quality and presentation were both good to attract revisits. A well managed restaurant in the area.

    Yesterday I was here. I visited there with one of my very close friend, we enjoyed the atmosphere very much. Though I'm a hardcore nonveg I could not feel that I was eating paneer pizza.The taste was Awsome. The lobby is decorated like a five star restaurant. The staffs are very well behaved

    The place is very good, great atmosphere with delicious food. Although they only serve veg dishes, they have a great variety of food. Great place to stop by while travelling.

    I recently attended the Hilsa Festival organized by The Kitchen - Lake Town Bengali's have always shared an eternal bond with Hilsa, me being no exception. There is around 10-12 Hilsa delicacies that you can gorge on here and you won't be disappointed with any. All the dishes have been prepared with utmost expertise and to perfection. Lets take a look at what all is being served. 1) SMOKY MOONG DAL ILISH MACHER MATHA DIA (350 bucks) - Who doesn't love Ilish Macher Matha diye Moong dal. A very flavorful dal preparation with the head of Hilsa is a compulsion in Bangali houses this season. 2) TRADITIONAL MURI GHONTO WITH HEAD OF HILSA (375 bucks) - Muri Ghonto prepared again with the head of Hilsa. The spices have blended so well with the dish that the taste is heavenly. 3) INDIAN SPICES RUBBED FRIED HILSA (475 bucks) - Fried Hilsa (Ilish mach Bhaja) is a typical bliss. The oil in which it is fried is also consumed with rice. Ilish mach has been marinated with spices and deep fried in Sorshe-Tel. 4) ILISH MACHER BHAPA LAU PATA DIYE (535 bucks) - The heavenly Hilsa Bhapa is a must try in this place. The fish has been baked with Sorshe Narkol paste in Lau Pata. 5) POSTO DIA ILISH(545 bucks) - Here the curry has been made with lots of posto bata. Posto is a favorite and when it is used in making Hilsa gravy the taste is blissful. 6) DOI DIA ILISH CURRY (535 bucks) - Typical Ilish curry made with Doi and tastes good. 7) SHORSHE NARKEL BATA DIA ILISH MACHER JHOL (529 bucks) - An all time favourite. Hilsa cooked in thick gravy of Sorshe Narkel which is heavenly. 8) ILISHER JHOL ALOO BEGUN DIA (539 bucks) - The less spicy Ilish gravy prepared with Aloo and Begun. 9) AAM SORSHE ILISH (549 bucks) - Ilish gravy prepared in Sorshe gravy with the flavor of Aam is a new dish which is a must try again. 10) BORA DIYE ILISH MACHER TEL JHAL (525 bucks) - This is my favorite from all the dishes. Lots of Ilish Dim (eggs) have been used to prepare this dish. It is a spicy dish with Ilish eggs as well as Dim wall Ilish pieces. 11) ILISH MACH DIYE BANGLADESHI KHICHURI (450 bucks) - Khichuri prepared with the head of Hilsa in pure Sorshe tel. The aroma of the Khichuri and its taste is breath taking. 12) ILISHER BIRIYANI (499 bucks) - The taste is just so good. A highly recommended dish from my side. 13) CHOCOLATE PHUCHKA -Phuchkas coated with Belgian Chocolate both from inside and ouside. Cream is stuffed inside the Phuchka and served with Chocolate sauce. This is just breathtaking and no-one should give this a miss. We were also served Chocolate Pan and there couldn't have been a better way to end this sumptuous meal. Rush to this place and gorge into these Ilish delicacies.

    This resturant has amazing food and perfect for vegetarians. The staff is well mannered and very cooperative. I was delighted to visit this place for my parents' anniversary.

    One of the dish was really good... Veg platter.. How ever they cannot make good Conti.... So one should stick to ordering Indian cuisine...

  • 5/5 Bijayetri R. 1 year ago on Google
    Stumbled across this place along with some friends of mine when we were famished after a long day of pandal hoping. We were not disappointed. Now we are very much non veg people and were a little sceptical about entering an all veg restaurant at first. Since we were too exhausted to look for a non veg place so decided to give it a try. I tried a masala kulcha for the first time which tasted so very good. The other dishes, paneer and aloo dum, were also delicious. The quality and quantity were upto the prices so although being a bit expensive, it was worth it. All the staffs were really nice and they even gave us a complimentary chocolate paan! It was a really good experience.

    The kitchen has the quality but it has some pros and cons as I have experienced. Pros 1. The good ambience 2. The availability just around the corner of big clock(Esplanade) 3. The staffs behavior 4. Virgin Mojito, White sauce pasta Cons 1. The location of maps can be confusing 2. Parallel to the foot bridge which can be misleading for new travellers 3. Sometimes the price surge can be painful.

    Had an excellent Sunday brunch at La Cuccina. Every dish was very well prepared. An inviting selection of antipasti followed by a good variety pan to plate servings. An unlimited alcoholic beverage package is available for an extra reasonable charge. I would rate it as one of the best brunches in the city at this time

    Booked 30 guest buffet. One day before owner calls and says buffet won't be possible as good Friday is holiday but alacarte would be possible. Literally all guest were upset by the service provided.

    The ambience was good & loved the vegetarian food except that most of the dishes were more sugary than normal. But service was quite a tad slow and people had to be reminded quite a few times to get the ordered food or to order new ones.

  • 4/5 Soumya S. 5 years ago on Google
    A new place. But it is good in decor and design and style. There are many options in the menu. However, food is expensive, and quantity is comparatively less. The place does target sophisticated crowd. Hence, perhaps the cost. The food tastes good. Though not exceptionally great. We ordered baked fish. Taste was pretty good. But expected a quicker service. Though hoe that service time reduces as more days pass by. All in all a good place. A nice and pretty new place to try out..

  • 5/5 PRADIPTA KUMAR D. 1 year ago on Google
    Vegetarian restaurant. Tasty food items without any doubt. On my first visit to this restaurant, I got a discount of 10% on the total amount of my bill. A bit expensive restaurant without any doubt. 1000 INR can be the pocket pinch for a complete meal for 2 people. In the end, they serve a free tasty PAN per person. Afterwards, anyone may purchase this PAN at 20 INR per piece. (As on June 2, 2022). Happy dining !! Thank you.
