Tandoor Park (Kolkata)

Don't go by the name

Sprawled over two floors in the heart of South Kolkata, Tandoor Park is a fun place - ideal for a pick-me-up after work, as well as a reminiscing session with friends. While the hustle and bustle inside makes it quite inappropriate for a family dinner, the atmosphere inside is quite appealing per se. The Chinese masks and paintings are a bit out of place at a restaurant with this name, but once inside, they make for decent conversation starters. A segregated smoking room finds favour with those willing to raise their high, while at the same time, protecting those who despise passive smoke. The kebabs are soft, succulent, and worth every bit of the money. Every meaty variety is represented well on the assorted platter, while the pahari kebab is juicy on the inside and bejeweled with mozzarella cheese on the outside. The fish fingers and tandoori mushroom are also appetizing. The mutton seekh kebab, however, is grainy and slightly insipid. However, it is encouraging to note that the butter naans are not chewy and the kali daal has a smooth texture. Alcohol prices are on the higher side though, and service is slow, perhaps only to allow the guests more time to catch up. Overall, a brilliant place to travel to for a friendly rendezvous, but not worth a long drive through the city merely for the fare.
