Tamarind, Kalighat North East, Kolkata

Again a deserving 4.5 but alas! No such option!! A glass of on-the-house buttermilk - perfect beginning. The opening duo - an excellent Gondhoraj Chicken Kebab, juicy and succulent, & an equally delicious Tandoori Prawn were the starters we ordered. Mutton stew and appam followed - both outstanding to say the least; the stew was light yet full of flavor, boneless unbelievably tender pieces of mutton cooked the “Karnataka” way and fluffy appams; can you ask for more?! Double Ka Mitha, the dessert, was the perfect icing on the cake - absolutely stunning, if I may say so!! This is undoubtedly one of the best standalone restaurants in Kolkata based on our experience yesterday.
