🌐Kolkata konnection Ahmedabad
🌐 From a far off land alights a gentleman, well demeanoured, well spoken, well read and extremely amiable. A professional at heart and a geek in terms of business he has his palate full off a wide variety of subjects as one converses.
A journey to Ahmedabad since 1994 has seen this lovely gentleman harp upon various trades with a CRM back end of an India Based mega talking Yellow Pages which Mr. Bachchan endorses as one of his key successes.
A visiting lecturer at various Management Institutes including IIMA, he shows us his setup by asking a simple question : What is a Startup?, An answer he failed to get from 80% of the crowd.
He simply puts : " Startup is solving a problem....You do so and you are on your way"!!!
A pristinely done decor in an exposed brickwork backdrop and exposed RCC with tastefully done interiors tell us his penchant for the love of natural designs.
A man in charge of affairs at the Kitchen keeps rushing in and out while talking to us and getting us marvellous palates one by one . A very systematic and well organised man of the day,
Presenting Samir Patel our man of the moment...
Hunger Hop Food Fiesta wishes him all the very best for this wonderful Connection of palates of Eastern Bengal, close to Bangladesh being served right here in Ahmedabad. Let the city relish in all his wonderful delicacies and Say " Yaay Kolkata Konnection"
The dishes we had
1. Veg Seekh Kabab Roll : A tastefully done covering of a soft lachcha paratha with a filling which was tasty, well cooked and perfect to the core
2. Chicken Awadhi Kabab Roll : A fine blend of profusely well cooked chicken with a mix of spices and tasty filling in a lacha paratha
3. Veg Seekh Kabab : A lovely spicy palate with well done kebabs and served with onions and beautiful dip
4. Aloo Dum with Biryani : A balanced well cooked aloo dum with finely done gravy breaking the tradition of using small potatoes and doing it the authentic way it is served in eastern bengal with a biryani that was served with the best quality rice and a amazing aroma of the ghee with each grain being separate to relish and cooked to joy.
5. Chicken Kali Mirch : Very tenderly cooked and spice up to perfection. A dish for sure to relish by non veg lovers. This is surely a place to look forward to
6. Veg Mughlai Paratha : This is a dish Samir serves with the elan of a mughal monarch with a stuffing so fulfilling and perfect that each square piece of this square paratha appears like a puff in itself.
7. Non Veg Mughlai Paratha : A dish textured to perfection with each square piece of a square shaped paratha looking like the chess board with further smaller pieces giving it the entire effect of a game of chess in action
8. Egg Mutton Roll : A perfectly done roll with the perfect amalgamation of spices, fillers and taste in a soft luscious nice lacchcha paratha . kathi roll - mutton had perfect bengali taste rather than the mughlai mutton which is more famous in kolkata because nizams and badshah introduced this item to kolkata streets.
9. Mutton Chaap: Fine neatly cut pieces of the delicacy cooked to perfection with that exact blend of taste and spice. kathi roll - mutton had perfect bengali taste rather than the mughlai mutton which is more famous in kolkata because nizams and badshah introduced this item to kolkata streets.
10. Non Alcoholic Beer : A fruit punch with an exact beer like feel but the non alcoholic version giving a marginal satisfaction to the customer
11. Last but not the least , perhaps the first time in Ahmedabad
Mishti Doi : An exalted dessert of Kolkata served in a lovely kullad, blended to perfection giving that exact balance between sweetness, lusciousness and a taste which leaves you with an ahhh leaving you gasping for more of this yummy delicacy.
A nice startup which I am sure will gain momentum in the coming days and we hope to see this place as a major landmark of Ahmedabad soon
Signing off putting on the shoes like dish in which the dips were served and greeting Samir bhai like his salt and pepper greet each other as shown in the pictures attached herewith
Walkin into 2020 my foodie self was only inclined towards which places to visit in the beginning of the new decade.
And the first name in my list was
Kolkatta konnection
A long over due visit which I had promised to do last year, finally was checked off

Kolkata Konnection
When an extremely passionate Bengali decided to hop in in Ahmedabad and open a restaurant, this town just got blessed for all the undeniably good reasons. A super cozy, warm & ultra classy restaurant located at Bodakdev, is a perfect blend of cultural fusion subsumed in the interior, quite evidently working its charm! A natural brick wall, a begali window, Harley corner, & a Mumbai clubs inspired prototype finely accommodated in the restaurant is a catch on!

We were greeted by Sam (owner) and it was an absolute delight to converse with him one on one. I was blown away witnessing the knowledge & passion he possesses for food.
Since he was there, he helped us order the food and we were served
.
.
• Chicken kosha with chicken biryani - kosha is an age - old bengali way of cooking chicken/mutton which results in meat cooked in a thick & rich gravy, is dish cooked in bengali families. We ordered chicken kosha with chicken biryani.
These dishes combined together created a magic on my plate. Chicken was tender, juicey and so good that it fell off from the bone without having us putting any efforts. It blew my mind and a foodgasm took a troll over my mind & soul. I could not help but close my eyes in every bite.
If you are missing THIS, you are missing out experiencing foodie heaven on earth. It exists at Kolkata Konnection.

• chicken Seekh kabab roll - I have never had a roll better than this in my entire life. Hot Chicken kabab with eggs and veggies perfectly tucked-in in laccha paratha. Paratha perfectly layerd and crisp added a magic to the roll.
Highly recommended.
.
.
• Chicken Garlic Tandoor - chicken cooked to utmost perfection & a marinated is one charming dish! The good part, you can order the half portion to save some space in tummy. I absolutely love Indian style chicken and when it is this delicious, then you don't miss out on it whatsoever.
.
.
• deep fried fish - Sam recommended us trying freshly cooked Deep fried fish, I was astonished to see there was no single drop of oil on my plate. And it tasted brilliant with the kasundi (mustard sauce)
Mustard sauce normally has very dominating flavor. At KK I got to know the sauce is spiced with masala from kolkata and the difference was just right there. Super combo!
.
.
• masala coke - again a simple soft drink turned into a brilliant drink with kolkata masalas incorporated with coke. Simply WOW!
.
.
Yes, we (2 people) at ALL of that & licked our fingers cleaned.
.
.
It is easy for Me to say that Kolkata konnection is passion for food and brilliance of delicacy personified. The spices, food & taste is pure authentic essence of Kolkata brought to AHM.
If you happen to be there, do not miss out on meeting Sameer, he is an added charm at KK.
I can't wait to visit the place again and try other dishes in their menu.
I highly recommend KK for all the Meat lovers.
They've the veg. Section separated for vegetarians.

Go to Kolkata Konnection & thank me later!
