Kasturi - Kolkata

Looking for Bengali food near Esplanade?__ this is the one. Kasturi offers some fresh and quality Bengali food at moderate prices. This outlet is located around 15-20mins walk from Esplanade and also at a 10mins walk from Park street. Coming to food we tried their fish cutlets with mustard sauce (cutlets contained pure Bhetki fish) which costed around 180rs and were great. We also tried kochupata diye chingri (kasturi special and a highly recommend dish), polao and chicken duckbunglow (another recommended one). At last we tried their mocktails which was quite refreshing. However, this outlet having a limited capacity of seats offers a waiting area. The management of resturant is quite good.

I had ordered chicken kosha and plain rice from Kasturi. Loved the richness and texture of the gravy, the chicken piece was quite big and juicy to its core. The aroma and the color were truly captivating and captured the perfect flavour of a Bengali dish. Loved it!

A perfect place to treat your stomach with good food. Service is quite slow. A good number of guests gather there daily. Proper restaurant with authentic Bengali food.

They basically serve various types of Bangladeshi Dishes. Food quality is super. But one thing i did not like the qualtity, it is very very much less . Specially for rice items . Even the rice quantity is not enough for an adult person. They serve chickn and mutton items in 3 piece each plate. So if you want to share one plate in two you can't. Atmosphere is decent.

We as a group of four, had ordered lemon fish fry: decent enough Kochupata chingribata: was tasty basanti polao: had a DEAD COCKROACH cooked with it attached picture paneer methi malai: decently okay also ordered a bhetki paturi which never arrived!! Service was very very poor, we had to ask 5 times just for a spoon. Extremely unprofessional behaviour. While we were ordering our food, the waiter was more interested to receive his tea. When we saw the dead cockroach on the food, we were terrified, the waiter kindly told us that we would not have to pay for half of the things that we ate and that we should keep our mouths shut! We did not want to create a ruckus. But we were very disheartened by the service quality and the kind of attitude. Will not recommend to anybody.
