    Melting pot, located at ballygunge which is usually closed on Mondays is a cute, quiet, beautiful place with some low music which makes the ambience so romantic. I really liked the sitting arrangements that's so nicely arranged. Besides, this place generally is not so crowded thus one could sit & relax longer without any hustle. The grub experience was nice. I'd ordered drums of heaven and veg sizzlers; the taste of both were amazing. I just felt the quantity of the starters could have been a bit more. Otherwise, my overall experience was comforting. Please do visit. Highly recommended to those who love less crowded place. Looking forward to visit again. Ambience- ✔️ Service-✔️ Price- ✔️ Quality-✔️ Quantity-🆗 Taste-✔️

    Ok so here I am, and this is one of the very very honest review that you guys are going to get about this place. Besides food quality, quantity and pricing, this review will also provide you with an honest confession about the ambience and hospitality which are one of "the most important" things of a quality restaurants. Let's begin with the location. This food spot is located on 89B Ballygaunge Place Kolkata which also happens to house some other legendary food spots of kolkata. The easiest way to reach out here is to reach Gariahat Tram Depot traffic signal and take right turn (if you are coming from Gariahat) or left turn (if you are going towards Gariahat) and then go straight and take the 1st left turn, then on the left side after 3-4 plots is Melting Pot. Don't brood much on the exterior simple styling of this spot, I am sure as soon as you will open the door and enter inside the ambience will win you over. The beautifully decorated graffiti, the well carved out furnitures, the beautifully planned and decorated counter and the dim yet soothing lighting will tell you about the class of the place. The quality of the food is simply awesome! If you get confused by the name of the continental items, I would suggest to ask for help from the most well mannered manager I have met yet, KRISHNA MANDAL. Wow that guy is such a nice person and will thoroughly take care of your cravings, by suggesting you about the food that should suit your taste buds. He is well behaved, highly courteous, and most attentively listens to you and suggest you the best for you. The price of the food I felt is a bit on a higher side for a middle class family, but then, every good things come with a price tag right... Service time, well I should say one might feel it's comparatively higher, bt I should say this little patience will bring bliss to your taste buds. Well to be honest they are aware about this little "glitch" and they sincerely do their best everytime you place your order, to serve you the earliest possible. However the hospitality and the little chit chat with the manager never made us felt waiting. I would suggest to visit this place definitely with your family, friends or even a date, as this place is sure to make everyone feel special and to and give in to your cravings. They have all the recepies to make your mouth water, give your taste buds some tastes to remember and finally to make you fell special and most welcome. This are what that "Melts your Heart" at Melting Pot.

Hospitality is commendable. ☺ Overall, A MUST VISIT for all you foodies there. ❤

    Located in the lanes of Ballygunge, this is situated just opposite to the BSNL office. The cafe is well decorated and the ambience is good. The staff here are courteous and prompt. We ordered the Chicken Sui Mai, which are 5 big dumplings served with two dips. These were really delicious and the pocket pinch was ₹250. A must try. Then we ordered the Pan fried chicken noodles, which again was delicious, having loads of chicken and vegetables. The Noodles were both soft and crunchy. Again a must try. Then we had the chicken stroganoff, which was ok, served with herb and peppers rice. All in all a good experience.

    A true hidden gem once upon a time, I’m proud and glad to have discovered this place a couple of months back and told all of my friends about the same. The place ticks all the boxes, be it Ambience, Service, Menu Variety, Taste and Price. Must tries are the Crunchy Caramel Shake, Thai Curry, Fish n Chips and Green Apple Mojito.

    The chicken momos, virgin mojito, and Chinese options are good. Ordered the Chicken Stroganoff, wasn't the biggest fan. Herb rice was good though. Ambience is pretty basic. Would recommend for a weekend lunch!

    Mango festival is going on. They introduced three delicious mocktails. We ordered gyoja, sui mai, ceaser salad, cajun spiced chicken. All were good. But but but.. service is extremely slow. They have exactly two menu cards. So first come first serve basis goes on while choosing menu card.

    Its a pocket friendly small cafe near Ballygunge place. I was invited in Food Testing event conducted by Foodzpah. The interior is well lit & well decorated. The staffs were very courteous and attentive. Coming to the Food Items, I would like to mention few of the items that I loved much; ●Orange Mojito: It was an wonderful welcome drink with an Orangey tang to the original Mojito flavour. ☆☆☆☆ ●Thai Stuffed Chicken Omlette: This item is basically an Omlette stuffed with minced chicken & spices. It has a nice taste to it. ☆☆☆☆ ●Fish and Chips: This popular English dish is well loved in Kolkata. The decoration was pretty cool. Its Bassa fillet coated with Bread crumbs & deep fried. Its served with French Fries & Mayonnaise on side. ☆☆☆☆☆ ●Chicken Steamed Dimsum: This one has the Classic Tibetan authenticity & its really tasty. The Chilli Garlic sauce served on the side was pretty good as well. ☆☆☆☆☆ ●Chicken Stroganoff: It's a Russian dish of sautéed pieces of Chicken served in a sauce with smetana (sour cream) & Buttered rice on side. From its origins in mid-19th-century Russia, it has become popular around the world, with considerable variation from the original recipe. ☆☆☆☆☆ ●Green Thai Curry served with Rice: The name "green" curry derives from the color of the dish, which comes from green chillies.The "sweet" in the Thai name (wan means "sweet") refers to the particular color green itself and not to the taste of the curry. As this is a Thai curry based on coconut milk and fresh green chillies, the color comes out creamy mild green or, as this color is called in Thai, "sweet green". Its ingredients are not exactly fixed. The curry is not necessarily sweeter than other Thai curries but, although the spiciness varies, it tends to be more pungent than the milder red curries. In This occasion they have added medium pieces of chicken in the ingredients. It has a really nice flavour if you have it with Rice. ☆☆☆☆ ●Tutti Frutti: This was the perfect ending to the sumptuous lunch. The ingredients were Vanilla Ice-cream, Strawberry Syrup & Fruits prepared in a glass in layers. You should try this if you visit Melting Pot. ☆☆☆☆ Overall it was a really great lunch. I would recommend this place to everybody & would rate it as 5/5.

    "A great restaurant is one that just makes you feel like you're not sure whether you went out or you came home & confuses you. If it's both at the same time you're hooked." This place exactly makes me feel similar .... deliciousness of the edibles overwhelmed our taste buds and were thinking that this won't be our last time here 😍 Our flavourful & tasteful dishes were: ◇STARTERS◇ 1) DRUMS OF HEAVEN- Excellent starter with some salt & spicy taste topped with spring onions and a lil bit spicy sauce. Tastes awesome with its tenderness 😍 2) FISH & CHIPS- First of all I just love its presentation with its cycle with basket look. The cycle basket is carrying the fish and the chips thing and the front portion is carrying the tasty mayonnaise 😋 the dish was so yummy & I was not eating the fish actually it was just melting with its softness 😋 ♡BEVERAGES♡ 1) GREEN APPLE MARTINI- I became mad after having this green apple flavoured beverage with its sweet mint aroma and I also loved the presentation with its side green sugar splits 2) WATERMELON MOJITO- Most charming beverage I ever had. It maddened me with its sweet watermelon essence. Must have this beverage. 3) STRAWBERRY COFFEE SODA- Lovely innovative drink with a taste of strawberry syrup and coffee punch. Tastes a lil bit different but good 👌 ♤MAIN COURSE♤ 1) FISH RED THAI CURRY- Ahhhh! Fabulous.. first time I tried red thai gravy and it was just yummm... feels like heaven with its light and soft flavour of the fish and the curry 2) CHICKEN STROGANOFF- Light flavoured dish with chicken and veggies with some rice with herbs.. tastes really great 😍 3) CHICKEN SIZZLER- This dish was awesome with its soft and juicy flavour of chicken some veggies and rice. Tastes really great 4) FISH SIZZLER- This dish was so yummy with its tender fish and cheesy flavour. Love the delicacy 😍 ♧DESSERT♧ TUTTI FRUTTI- Wow! Wow! & wow! I just loved this fresh fruit dessert with the toppings of vanilla ice cream blueberry syrup & choco stick. Recommending this place to everyone with friends or family and pass through with their superb sustenance 💖

    Situated on Cornfield Road in Ballygunge, this gem of a restaurant has been operating for the last 03 years, and yet not many people are aware of its existence because the location is a bit toward the interiors, away from the main road. I visited here for lunch with my parents on a weekend, and we were totally impressed with our dining experience. The interior designing, the overall ambience, the ergonomic usage of space, the cordial service, the absolutely amazing food, and not to forget - attention to hygiene & sanitization, all of which came at quite a reasonable price, together presented themselves as one lovely package. I'd highly recommend any of their sizzlers and steaks, since we kind of tried most, along with the lip smacking starters, especially the Crispy Konjee Lamb.

    Food is great here. Atmosphere is good can be better. The manager is very polite. The outside decor needs some improvement as they are serving great food they need to update the look of this place. Otherwise food wise it's a great place with friends. Go for it .

    Zomato Gold is applicable here. It’s a very small cafe in Ballygunge(Swinhoe Street). Major problem is to find a parking spot. Now coming to the food yeah no doubt it tastes nice and even the Mocktails taste delicious but taking into consideration the infrastructure and everything, the drinks are a bit overpriced. Prices of food is okay but drinks need a more competitive pricing in order to attract more customers.

😐 Simply come here for the atmosphere and history. Nothing should be eaten here. Cold coffee was a letdown. It was cold water that had been sweetened with a pinch of coffee. The fish kaviraji was satisfactory. Despite the fact that there is a no-smoking sign on the premises, I observed people smoking...
