@ Which main? What cross?:
let me put it this way. there are similarities. the foremost being the use of mustard oil in preparations. we also eat a lot of fish.

@ Pamela: hope you are well! we must do bengali food sometime soon! actually, in bengali it’s called betki but in english its called bekti — not sure why!

@ Pawan: the buffet might be for VFN! but i’ve also noticed when these places do buffets, they aren’t very good!

@ lostonthestreet: they have a buffet there? hope they start it here too and hope it’s good! i will check it out! thanks for the link :-)

@ S.C.Chand: it is expensive. and i mentioned it. i don’t really buy that logic. if we did, we would all be walking to work and eating raagi for breakfast. what i do with my personal preferences, time and money is totally my business, not anyone else’s.

@ shalini: you eat less! you should be complaining :-) next time, go with the 2 experts!
i think i should ask them for a commission when they visit their restaurant via me!

hey anita a very nice review..will go and try it out.…though i do not have a very high opinion about the place because of my experince in going to the one in Delhi.

I thought their serving also was less…

but just the way you described it makes me to go and visit it again.…and yes I think the owners should give u a share in their earning as you are getting unhappy customers like me going to visit them becasue of having read yr review.

Dont you thinks 700 rs is expensive.With a lot of people in india still starving you spend 700 rs of luxurious food.

Oh Calcutta have set up shop in Pune as well. The bhetki is divine. very subtle. they dont slather it with an array of masala like they do in other restaurants. Loved it. Burnt a hole in pocket though. The bhetki, steamed rice and an aam porar shorbot came to 700 bucks. They are starting a lunch buffet here in pune. That probably will be more value for money

Onita…I can’t believe we went to the same restaurant and you came away with so much information while my take-away was just the pleasant after-taste of payesh. You certainly have an eye for detail.

Lovely review! Anjan Chatterjee should pay you for this review (considering there hardly are any reviews of Oh Calcutta online).

which reminds me, we have yet to ‘do’ the double road avatar of Ballygunge.
