This place is really good, it really gives 5 star ambience but the food is average. I had buffet dinner here and the starters were really tasty but the service was very slow. Main course was not upto mark.. Lamb preparation was really very much disappointing but saag chicken was really tasty. They served many dishes but taste was not so good. Desserts were excellent and the best part. They even gave complimentary birthday cake for my father's birthday which was really amazing. If u are dessert lover then this place is heaven for u.

Punjabi food festival is going on at Cafe Treat.We opted for lunch buffet which cost 930+tax.

Coming to the food,every item tasted good.Some were delicious.I liked the lamb preparation most.And every dish was lesat spicy.That's why the buffet was praise-worthy.
But there were some cons.They provided only two starters at this price segment.In main course veg options were adequate but nonveg options were very limited.Besides only the lamb tasted really good.Chicken and fish were not cooked in punjabi style and tasted okay.
Dessert section also lacked variety. steamed rice and jeera rice-Both the rice lacked proper boiling.

The staffs were courteous and helping.They provided complementary mocktail and sweet lassi.

The folk festival of Lohri embodies community, abundance and the vivacious culture of the state of Punjab. Cafe Treat, The Pride Hotel Kolkata plans to celebrate this with a unique food festival Chak De Punjab that showcases the choicest local North Indian flavours and Punjabi delicacies that are sure to make you sway. What better way to enjoy a lovely Sunday afternoon, than by ringing in the harvest festival with amazing Lohri food and chilled drink? so, come and experience the celebration at Cafe Treat, The Pride Hotel!

Chak De Punjab Buffet Menu :

Veg Lohri Specials - Sarson Ka Saag, Punjabi Rajma, Dal Makhani, Battiwali Paneer, Paneer Tikka Butter Masala, Punjabi Kadi Pakoda, Paneer Makani, Kasturi Paneer, Bhutta Da Kebab and Pind De Chole

Non Veg Lohri Specials - Kukkad De Dhabe, Amritsari Mahi Masala, Rara Gosht, Dhabewali Murgh Masala, Palak Da Murgh, Amrirsari Fish, Patiwala Murgh Tikka, Badami Murgh, Murgh Makhani and Patiwala Sahi Gosht

Chak De Punjab Buffet Pricing Option:

Rang De Basanti - 1:1 Buffet for lunch & dinner both the session (daily basis) @1399 AI (with 2 glasses of Lassi).

Chak De Phatte - 1:1 Buffet for lunch & dinner both the session (daily basis) @1599 AI (with 2 domestic Beers).

Balle Balle - 1:1 Buffet for lunch & dinner both the session (daily basis) @1599 AI (with 2 domestic whisky 60 ml).

Lohri brings not just the people together but also the food. Punjabi cuisine is an amalgamation of foods of three communities — Sindhis, Punjabis and Muslims. This means that the spices used in Punjabi food are a cocktail of cultures. Its basically divided into the Doab and Malwa regions, offers varied cuisine. The Doab region which contributes to a bulk of the Punjabi culture, including the Pakistani stretch, brings to the table a unique blend of spices and taste to its dishes.

Meat lovers, go straight for the Kukkad De Dhabe that miraculously fills you up with no 'guilty' aftermath, thankfully. For the spicy daredevils, tryout the Rara Gosht, an addictive combination that will leave you scraping the bowl.

Also, enjoy the uber juicy Patiwala Murgh Tikka that's done perfect while sporting a crisp outer layer, and balanced with marinated spices and coriander dip — the perfect partner for a Beer or two.

Next came a rebound in the form of Dhabewali Murgh Masala surrounded with bright and earthy flavors: garam masala, ginger, and lemon accented sauce of puréed dehydrated tomatoes. The star of the plate, though flavourful, juicy and soft chicken leg pieces; the taste was incredibly fresh and spicy.

Patiwala Sahi Gosht was soft, spicy and smoky, prepared with blend of aromatic spices and herbs, and then slow cooked in onion and tomato gravy for an umami punch. Patiwala Sahi Gosht, might require a temporary break from that diet of yours. The incredibly tender chunks of meat with a slight melt-in-your-mouth fat will leave you helpless!

The lamb stew was amazing along with the Punjabi pulao. Chicken Patiala was another thing I will recommend you to try these with butter naan. Amazing main course I had in this place. In starter they serve fish fries which was crispy and fish was fresh. Crispy chilly baby corn was okayish. In dessert section baked boondi was the best and nolengur er rosogolla how I can forget it to mention. Overall a amazing buffet which I tried in this place.

Christmas is right around the corner and a lunch or dinner with your loved ones during this time is a must. The traditional turkey, carved and called grace upon as Baby Jesus is born. Celebrate this momentous occasion at Cafe Treat, Pride Plaza, just opposite to Axis Mall and Novotel, in New Town.

As I begin describing the menu over between 24th December to the 1st of January, I would like to delve into why turkey? What makes it special? What is the history behind this tradition?

Turkeys were first brought into Britain in the 1520s. At that time, people would eat boar’s head, goose or even peacock at Christmas; it has been claimed that Henry VIII was the first person in Britain to eat turkey for his Christmas meal.

By 1573, farmer Thomas Tusser noted that turkeys had started being served at English Christmas dinners, but that goose and capon - a castrated rooster - remained the roast of choice at the festive season for some considerable time.

In 1615 turkey appears as a meat used in English households in Gervase Markham’s book The English Housewife. The London Poulters’ Guild records note that in the 1680s they began to give the company clerk a turkey as a Christmas gift.

Even during Queen Victoria’s reign, turkey was not the most popular Christmas roast as it remained more expensive than the alternatives. In northern England, roast beef was the traditional choice while in the south, the goose was still favoured – though poorer families often made do with rabbit.

Eating turkey at Christmas was popularised further by the likes of Charles Dickens – in A Christmas Carol, published in 1843, Scrooge sends Bob Cratchit a huge turkey on Christmas Day to replace his goose – and then again by King Edward VII, who chose them for his festive feast.

And that is how the traditional Christmas Turkey began.

The spread over the days are broadly categorized and are variants of the following in each group:

SOUPS
Tom Kha Kai (which is basically Thai Chicken fused with the aromatic flavors of coconut
Minestrone Genovese which is an Italian soup partake on Genoa style cooked beans and vegetables.
Seafood Bouillabaisse is a classic provential seafood stew from the French port city of Marseilles.
Cantonese Vegetarian Soup is a Cantonese styled soup with amazing taste.

STARTERS
Vegetarian starters in the menu are Chermoula-spiced Paneer Tikka, Rome Scow Paneer Tikka, Sichuan Babycorn which is a spicy take on the Vegetarian starter options.
Non-Vegetarian options include Peshawari Chicken Tikka, Dhuadhar Chicken Tikka, Country Fried Fish which is a very tantalizing opening non-vegetarian combination that will open up your palate and increase your appetite.

SALADS
There is HUGE option of salads that includes but not limited to Ranch Deviled Egg on Crunchy Iceberg, Mexican Fish Salad with Tortilla Croutons, Christmas Chicken Terrine, Caramelized Apple with Apricot Sauce, Greek Pasta Salad, Tandoori Aloo Chana Chaat, Carrot Kosambari Salad during this festive week.

MEZZE
Mezze is in effect an appetizer served in the Middle East and keeping that in mind, Cafe Treat has kept Bathenjan Moutabal, Hummus, Carrot and Cucumber Tzatziki on their buffet spread.

MAIN COURSE
The main course was segmented into various cuisines according to ones choice of food. Starting from Indian cuisine, the staples include Subz Hyderabadi Biryani, Plain Rice and Indian Bread while an extravagant number of sides which are equaly tempting in both Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian sections that includes but is not limited to Mughlai Handi Paneer, Nauratan Subziyon ka Korma, Kofta Dil-e-Rubaa, Urlai Roast, Mushroom Makhana, Dal Muradabadi and Pind Da Murgh, Gosht Yakhni, Waza Kuka, Mutton Rezala.
Moving onto the direction where the Sun rises, and taking a look at the Chinese cuisine spread, one is reminded of how food can be simple and yet exotic. Their itinerary includes Wok tossed Squid in Garlic Wine Sauce, Schezwan Chicken, Hakka Noodles, Pan-fried Exotic Vegetables, Wok fried Seafood with Ginger, Soya and Coriander, Kung Pao Chicken, Burnt Chili Garlic Noodles, Tow Fu Rad Prik, Sichuan Fried Mushroom with Broccoli, Leek and Ginger.
Lastly, the Conitnental cuisine there that serves Sesame and Coriander Crusted Grilled Basa and Brazilian Coconut Fish.

Seems less?

Of course it is not complete. There is a live pasta counter with three types of pasta and innumerable number of options to customize it using sauces, olives, zucchini, corn, colored peppers, broccoli, carrots, pesto, baby corn, cheese sauce and tomato basil sauce.

But how is it related to Christmas?
There will be a ROAST TURKEY with Cranberry sauce, Bread sauce and Giblet Sauce.

Last but not the least, one for the people with a sweet tooth, the desserts include several classic items in tandem with traditional ones such as Fruit of the forest delight, Spiced Apple Apricot Flan, Hot Chocolate Walnut Brownie
Kesari kalakand, Gulab rasmalai, Rosgulla, Mishti Doi, Croquembouche, Christmas Plum Cake, Christmas Pudding with Brandy Sauce and Saffron Pannacotta which is a great choice if you are diabetic or have high sugar but want to enjoy dessert anyway.

This exorbitant spread comes for a mere INR 1000 plus taxes, and what's more, since Jesus turned water into wine, so will Cafe Treat, as one glass of wine is complementary with unlimited supply of mocktails. This celebration of "Turkey Buffet Festival" also includes Christmas decorations to set the vibe, Christmas Special Buffet, Live Turkey Counter, Christmas Pudding, Candlelight Dinner and live Music for Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve and New Year.

▪️Again my first visit at this place. Four of us were really looking forward to meet for lunch. We’re very foodie that’s why we wanted a good buffet option, something we haven’t tried before.
▪️ There was a nearbuy offer going on for Pride Plaza (Pride Plaza Hotel, Kolkata). This was 2433/- (with taxes) for 4 people. Lunch buffet with unlimited mocktails. This seemed suitable and we were there.
▪️ Location: Right opposite Novotel.
▪️ Menu: Since this was a buffet I hardly remember any name of the dishes.

📍However, we started with a nonveg soup. Probably cream and chicken soup. Very buttery, perfect balance of everything. A good thing was the chicken inside was very moist and soft which doesn’t happen at most places.
📍 For starters they served something kind of dry chilli chicken and veg cheese balls. I didn’t like the cheese ball. Chicken was really tasty.
📍 They had many options but I was sticking to their chicken korma, mutton rogan josh with corn pulao and tandoori rotis. All my friends had butter rotis but since I don’t like butter I had the sukha rotis.
📍 Now coming to the desert, they won my heart. I loved their caramel custard and brownie. I tried brownies at many well known buffet places. Somehow they all disappointed me. But this place had the best chocolate brownies. They all melt in my mouth and had a very rich texture. Yumm!!!
▪️ It was totally worth it, I really liked everything here, very courteous staff and attentive as well.

This place was in my Wishlist for so long and finally when got a chances to sneak peak into this place you think I'll miss that chance? Hell Nooooooo….. Yes little bit far from the main city but let's come & explore this place.

Location - Near the Biswa Bangla Gate, just opposite of Axis Mall. Located on the ground floor of the Hotel Pride Plaza.

Ambiance & Service - Simple decoration with huge numbers of sitting capacity. Service is pretty fast & the staffs are really caring & cooperative also.

Now come to the food section. We opt in for the buffet lunch and there were really wide spread of food & desserts. They had a separate section for Puchka counter & salads.
In starter - The provides you three types of starter items, i.e - Fish, Chicken & Veg.
In main course section they had both Indian and as well as Chinese & Continental dishes also. In Indian section they had Plain rice, Dal, four different types of Sabji, Paneer butter masala & Chicken jhol. In Chinese section they had Fried rice, fish side dishes & in Continental section they had Lamb curry, Red thai curry & Gobi adraki which had a perfect balance in between kaffir lime & gobi.

Apart from this they had a wide ranges desserts which includes both Bengali & other sweets like Sweet Curd, Papad, Chutney, Rosogolla, Mousse, Tart etc.

Price - For all days excepy Sunday, the lunch buffet cost you Rs.850 + taxes. But you can purchase lunch coupon from Nearbuy App also, where it costs Rs.1199 for 2 people AI. So my recommendation will be to purchase your coupon from nearbuy to save some extra bucks.

Overall it was a good experiences for me. When we visit this place, the restaurant was celebrating Mexican Festival, so we got some Mexican dishes in our buffet spread also. Really amazing isn't it? As per management, the festival is live till 30th November. So, Good quality food, wide spread of buffet & excellent management...…..What you want extra?

Camrones ala Plancha - Well it's a highly recommended dish. Jumbo whole grilled prawns marinated with lemon, cilantro, olive oil and black pepper. The flavour of the ingredients was well absorbed into the prawns and it was tasty as well.

Cafe treat,pride presents the Mexicana Fiesta ❤️

Location - The Pride Plaza Kolkata, New Town

Duration - 1st November 2019 To 30th November 2019

From the Mexican Menu :

1. Camrones Ala Plancha (Grilled Prawns) - This was the best dish from the Mexican food menu. Very properly grilled prawns which tastes amazing. The outer part was crispy whereas the prawns were equally tender from inside. A perfect blend of everything. Tastes well with Saudi Arabian Champagne. This is highly recommended.

Price - Rs 600/- INR

Price - Rs 350/- INR

From the Buffet menu :

Lunch Buffet - 849/- INR + GST
Dinner Buffet - 999/- INR + GST

1. Murgir Jhol - A very common but favourite of many foodies. A perfect chicken preparation it was. Tastes well will steam rice.

2. Lamb Barbacoa - Barbacoa is a preparation of meat that is steam cooked in an underground oven until very tender and succulent. The lambs were properly cooked and were equally tender. The curry was a proper blend of herbs, spices and chillies which tastes delicious. This is highly recommended.

3. Patisapta - A good sweet dish it was. Stuffed with grated coconut and khoya with perfect sweetness.

Please do a visit here. You can enjoy the Mexican festival and buffet menu both.

This was my first visit and I am happy to say that it was a right decision. The 'Mexican Food Festival' is being celebrated from 1st to 30th November alongside the buffet menu which is amazing as well.

Some of the many dishes that I loved

From the Mexican Menu-

▪️ Nachos Con Queso Y Cordero Picado: Having been filled with minced lamb and cheese, this dish would become one of your favourites here.

▪️Vegetal Quesadilla: The well crafted tortillas were stuffed with zucchini, jalapenõ, cheese and pepper that gave them the spark they needed.

From the buffet menu-

▪️Lamb Barbacoa: "Oh-so-good" lamb chunks were cooked perfectly to retain their tenderness in a very light yet delicious curry.

▪️Chocolate Bomb: The only bomb you would love to defuse inside your mouth and there you would find a surprise.

In order to know more, you have to visit yourself.
I look forward to stop by, soon.

Best regards to team Cafe Treat.

With the cricket world cup fever on, this place has definitely tuned deep into the mode. Their current buffet rates are brilliantly unbeatable and the food is great as well. Dining at a luxurious hotel has never been this easy :)
Very courteous staff and undoubtedly great service !
What stopped me from a 5* is the rush that one of the staff members gave, in order to clear the glasses which still had drinks... Except for that,all great!

Been there multiple times. The best thing is the environment is really awesome. Soft bengali music going on in the background all the time.

4.5 / 5 - For the place.

We booked launch buffet for us. They welcomed us with an welcome drink. Then you'll get excellent starters (both veg and non-veg). You can repeat them. After that you will have to go for the self service. I must say that the foods presentation is just amazing. I love non-veg items. Really loved the chicken 🍗 and fish 🐠items very much. Mutton 🍖 was was kind of okay though. Dessert 🍰 items were also very nice. Loved the baked rosogolla. Missed ice cream only.

3.5 / 5 - For all their foods.

So, finally if you ask me. I'll definitely recommend this place for you. Go with your team or your family, you'll definitely have a great time.

We ordered
Green Chilly Chicken (5/5)
Mutton Kosha (5/5)
Chicken Fried Rice (4/5)
Kung Pao Chicken (3/5)
Mixed Veg (4/5)
Along with Steamed Rice.
All the dishes were excellent... especially the Mutton kosha that definitely needs special mention. It was tender and rich in flavours.
Green chilly chicken was spicy and good.
Kung pao chicken was kind of average.
Everything is good except the range of items available in the menu..there's very limited items combining chinese, north indian, continental and bengali cuisines..it's like 1-2 dishes per cuisine.. widening the range of dishes with few more items in each category would make it easier to choose from..and also worth repeat visits.

Will keep this review crisp, simple and to the point. Mind blowing buffet range, even a vegetarian like me was so confused – what to have and what not to! Impeccable hospitality, delicacies customarily curated as per your personal preferences, be more than spoilt for choice. Yes, if I am to choose a personal favourite amongst the 50 odd veg items available, I would go for the green chilly palak paneer tikka. Below is only a glimpse of their unending buffet:-

Mocktails:-

Hawaiian kiwi bliss with pineapple – The sweet one, prepared in fruit base

Spicy guava – With a touch of green chilly

Starters:-

Crispy American corn – perfectly crisp - the chopped tomatoes, spring onions, etc went very well with it

Achari Paneer tikka – Tangy owing to the achari touch

Green chilly palak paneer tikka – Cottage cheese marinated with spinach, green chillies and onion peel – a perfect dish

Mint chutney

Main course (including side dishes):-

Papads

Fryums

Plain curd – I indeed love such fresh curd

Raita

Green salad

Tandoori Gobhi salad

Iron salad

Aloo desi chana chat

Beans and carrots salad

Hawaiian salad

Asian cucumber salad

Green salad

Banana chips salad

Veg panzella salad

Assorted pickles

Cream of Mushroom soup – Piping hot, but since I am not a fan of mushroom, hence, I did not enjoy this one!

Herb crusted vegetables

Mixed pasta in arrora sauce – dry preparation but very tasty

Vegetable casserole

Sliced zuchinni in black bean sauce

Makai nu shaak – A tad too low on taste considering the fact that this is not the season for makai saag

Achari bharwan mirch – made in a spicy gravy and excellent on taste

Assorted Indian breads – Butter naan (maida base) / Tandoori roti (atta base) – prepared fresh on request

Asian vegetables in sesame honey sauce

Pad thai noodles – Excellent is the verdict

Narkel diye lau sorshe – The patients meal – lauki and coconut prepared in mustard

Paneer bhurji – chhena styled paneer

Subz Methi makhana – our regular favourite mixed veg

Bharwan karela – not the yuck sour gourd you generally get, but prepared with nice filling, perhaps, the item of the day

Turai pepper masala – Toru saag prepared with simplicity

Dal sultani – The regular yellow dal

Laal saag bhaja – A regional dish of Bengal

Tamancha pulao – simple pulao with chopped veggies

Steamed rice

Desserts:-

Gulab jamun

Orange coconut

Moong dal laddu

Sandesh (sugar free) – very soft, fresh and suitable for a person on diet

Walnut brownie – chocolatey and gooey

Coconut pie

Strawberry tart - sweet

Chocolate profiteroles – overly chocolatey and overly tasty

Mango mousse – mousse prepared with excellent mango syrup

Assorted ice creams:- Chocolate, Strawberry, Butterscotch, Vanilla – these are procured from outside and not prepared in-house, nevertheless, were very fresh and tasty.

Saunf

Mouth freshners

Ice cream coated saunf

My pro tip would be to visit this place when you have been on a diet for a few weeks, so that you can eat your heart out!

RECOMMENDED!

3 days non residential meeting was scheduled here in the middle of July. Thus, got chance to get through its cafe area. Which is spacious enough and mostly unoccupied even in the busy times.

The behaviour of their staff were pretty cordial. We had different menus in buffet on each three days and what I really would like to say that their recipes were really innovative everytime. Whatever we had on our platter was simply brilliant.

Visiting this place again would be great! Maybe they will also live up to my expectations that time.

A lazy Saturday morning could be geared up with a perfect early brunch or a late breakfast!
So Cafe treat was the place for the day. As a ambience lover and person into good presentation of food. I loved the way the whole set of breakfast buffet was aligned.

Some really good food. I being a southindian food lover, Tried some idli and Dosa to begin with. I liked the chutney served with it.
Moving on to some no veg food they had sausages, Bacons, Steak.
Daily Breakfast items like upma Poha, Paratha, etc
I loved the dessert section. Rashogullas, Banana cakes, donuts and many more.

To start with Oats and muesli, I liked the varieties they kept. Multi grain and dry fruit muesli. And fruits along side with milk.
Fresh fruit juices without sugar.
Custard with fruits
Multi grain bread.
Over all I loved it.

Would love to revisit again if any more visits to Kolkata.

This was the second time, and the buffet has actually improved. The soup was good. The guava welcome drink needs to be changed. The ambience is amazing. The chicken reshmi kebab as a starter was the best. It was juicy and soft. The main course had various fish and chicken items. They were good. The dessert section had nice pastries. Overall good. Sorry, i forgot to click pictures.
