AMBIANCE: It was Valentine's day evening, we planned to explore Tag Bengal. We chose cal27 because of its popularity and classy surroundings. We experienced exactly what we have expected from a five star platform. That impressed us.

FOOD: We chose special buffet of that evening and we absolutely love it. Veg items were not so tasty but nonveg dishes are mind blowing indeed. I love the dessert section mostly which is my all time favourite. I could see all items I love and all of them had mouthwatering zest.

HOSPITALITY: Waiters welcomed us. We hadn't any issue as it was prebooking (I will advise to book always). It was little crowdy and little noisy as it was a special day, that was little annoying for me. Otherwise everything was fine. They ll take care you and will make you feel welcome again.

Pros
1. The hotel has one of the best ambience in Kolkata.
2. The buffet spread boasts of quality over quantity. There is a lot of variety and uniqueness.
3. The sunday alcoholic brunch comes to RS 3540 per pax and includes unlimited sparkling winne, red wine, white wine and vodka.
4.The staff is attentive.
5. No annoying service charge, but being an upscale property, they levy 18% GST.

Cons
A bit pricey,compared to other luxury hotels.

Taj the name describes all. Earlier I visited another dinning section of theirs. I was really impressed that time. But this time I am bit disappointed. Their starter section is limited compared to price charged. In any other Luxury dinning buffet section there is plenty full of options. But compared to the price they charge the starter section is not satisfactory. Rather then this no complains.The staff behavior is really good and prompt. The food was delicious I just loved the food. Hope they will make a bit options in starter section.

Had a great lunch with SOUTI SAMANTA . Ambience wise it was up to the mark. You'll definitely have no complaints about their services. Staffs are so very friendly. Now coming to the food section, since we had buffet for lunch, we had wide range of foods starting from continental salads to authentic raspberry Yugert as a desert. Quality of foods were amazing but yeah i personally do feel they would have include some non veg items in the non veg main course section. Otherwise i had a great time over there overall :)

One of the best places I've been to. Brilliant food. Each and every item was perfect. My parents had Indian food and my wife and me had European. Excellent service as well. For me Taj Bengal has the best food in Kolkata hands down. Try to get seats towards the windows by the pool to have a better experience!

The midnight senses of the day before yesterday..!!! I visited one of the most favourite hotel chains of mine,, and none other the name is Taj Bengal..!!! I visited at cal -27 by taj for the 2'nd time..,and this is one of the most lovable hotel of mine..!! For others it's just a 5 star hotel but for me it's a gateway of heaven...!!! I went with one of my best friend to have some drinks and some foods and also went for enjoying the midnight senses ..!!! For the decoration and for the interior section Along with the ambience I have nothing to say anythin deg new about it , cause everyone has some little idea about it , how it actually looks like..!!! It's actually more than magnificent and more than anything..!!! For the service staffs they are very much prmot in service and very humble and gentle in there Behaviour too..!!! We ordered two peg of whiskey which is 30 ml named teacher's 50 and ordered one tendorloin steak burger,, which is more than enough to have it for one...!!! So we divided it into 1/2 together..!!! This tendorloin steak burger served with the fresh white bread and tossed it with the fresh vegetables and with the beef/ buffalo steak which is just mouthwatering to have..,, and if you have this by doing the combined of any drinks or whiskey it will give you the mind-blowing feeling ever ..!!! After that we ordered a two plate of desert and the name is mud pie... it's just drooling and very much tasty to have..!!! This mud pie basically served with the combination of vanilla ice cream tossed in a nice and tasty biscuit bowl which is also very tasty and the mud pie it looks like a chocolate cake and it's filled with the hot chocolate syrup which is just drooling and mouthwatering.!!! This hotel is an expensive but I must tell you this Costing wil be more than worth to you. !!! Overall costing for two people is just rs 3000/-
As I have told you there's nothing have to introduce this nice and magnificent hotel because everyone knows it very well about it..!!! So I wasn't able to click a lot of pictures of this hotel but I did one thing that is I made two nice and Lovely video by capturing the ambience and the pool area which is also very nice to see...and I also make a video of that desert mud pie to make you understand clearly how it looks like and how it will be going to looks like when you will have it...!!!

After a long time I enjoyed visiting this restaurant. Previously known as The Hub, it was one of my fav places in the city. But, in the middle they lost their touch and the food wasn't got at all. But now, it's back and how! Everything was superb the last time I visited. Delicious food, excellent service. There was also a really good vibe and energy at the place.

Cal 27 is the third avataar of the All day dining of Taj Bengal. It's done beautifully and influences of a North Calcutta house with touches of European architecture just make it so refreshing and elegant. It has windows above on all sides which resembles as if the centre is an Aangan or the central courtyard of the house.

The breakfast buffet is great with all the regular offerings of Fruits, juices, shakes, healthy foods, Breads, Eggs, Bengali breakfast like Loochi and Aloo. Cold cuts and cheeses are great too.

Do try their special Egg white fluffy omelette, it's one if a kind. We also ordered in room dining which again comes from the same kitchen and lived their Kebabs and the Pizza at the same time. Service is friendly but gets a bit busy during breakfast which is obvious.

Firstly, the hotel, Taj Bengal. So royal. Such warmth. The restaurant, Cal 27 is no different. Courteous staff and beautiful decor with wonderful ambience. One can enjoy having food with the lovely swimming pool in the background. Quite a sight in the evening.

My booking through another app was hassle free. I reached 45 mins earlier than my slotted time, but I was offered a table right away. Infact they were expecting me. I didn't even have to provide any booking details, they just confirmed my name and that's it.

Salads - Cal 27 has a great salad section. Roasted Lamb is a must try. Just loved it. Couple of Pork Salami salads. They also have Chicken Terrine with Bellpepper and there's a fish salad too (Fish & Egg).
Starters - This section is slightly disappointing for meat lovers, as they only have one chicken kebab. It was just okayish as the inside of the kebabs lacked proper amount of salt, which means the chicken pieces were not appropriately marinated. We tried Chicken Pizza from the live counter. It was quite awesome. Pasta was creamy. Pizza is the must try item in this section.
Main Course - I really loved the Mutton Biryani. One of the best buffet biryanis ever. Mutton pieces were slightly hard but they tasted so good, and the rice was so aromatic. They also have Beef in the form of Tenderloin but it was very hard, so couldn't finish even one piece. Didn't like the Chicken Breast in Thai curry. I also tried plain rice with Maccher Kalia which was so good. First time fish curry in buffet meals seemed so honestly prepared.
Desserts - Cabinet Pudding (10/10), an absolute must try. Blown away. And also don't miss the sugar-free Seviyan Kheer (paayesh). They have 3 bengali sweets on offer, not so special those. The show-stealer in the dessert section for me was the Raspberry Tart. Too good.

Excellent service as expected. The attendants are very courteous, helpful and attentive.

Buffet costed INR 2065. Easy billing and payment.

Overall a very satisfying and royal experience. Happy diner.

It's a beautiful restaurant inside a gorgeous hotel. We chose a seat with poolside view. Food was definitely good and the buffet spread was less compared to some other 5 star restaurant across the city but quality of food was much better .
I must say the Taj Bengal is unmatched when it comes to class, ever after 30 years.
Now coming to the only glitch i faced during my lunch. The service was not unto the mark for a hotel of this goodwill. There was complementary pizza/pasta with the buffet. So i ask our attendant to get me a chicken pizza around 1.50 pm. Till 2.15 i reminded him twice for the pizza but it never came. So we went on to dessert and when i asked the bill at 2.40 pm, he suddenly remembered that i had requested and reminded for a pizza 1 hour back. I had to tell him that we are done and wont be needing it anymore.
I am sorry to say but attentiveness was lacking and it wasn't a good experience.

Well after hearing a lot about this place, finally decided to visit it.

No doubt, Taj is epitome of grandeur and words are less to describe how amazing the hotel is. Coming to Cal 27, interiors are superb with lively ambience.

We opted for dinner buffet which was around Rs. 2065/- per person (inclusive of all taxes). We sat at corner place overlooking the beautiful swimming pool and it was bit further from buffet area, but choosing that place was a good decision.

The spread is limited as it consists of salads, soup, breads, fruits, live pasta and pizza counter, north indian, chinese main course, ice cream and desserts section.

Food was no matter, very scrumptious. Salads were good, Live counter was the best and desserts are definitely not to be missed especially chocolate mud pudding which was simply wow. Ice cream were yummy and are must try!!

Service was too good. Staff were very helpful in taking orders and delivering whatever we wanted, be it soups or breads or pasta or north indian breads. Hospitality was the best.

Overall, it was a good experience visiting here !!!

we visited the well known and famous restaurant of Taj Bengal Kolkata. we had one good deal of 1+1 buffet from another app which was really useful. now coming to the interior and ambience, nothing to say new as Taj Bengal always impresses in this part. it was mix of futuristic as well as rustic interior along with glass wall to have nice pool view. coming to the food, the buffet section had many varities to impress. starting from salads to dessert they have everything to cover and sooth everyone's taste bud. in non veg they have fish chicken , mutton , beef and pork options. limited number of options but good in taste if you like non spicy taste.fish they use telapiya which was a but surprise for me as at least one betcki item could have been a good choice. they also have live pizza and pasta counter and wood fired pizza was good in taste. also they had option for beer, different juices in the buffet. so over all good deal in price range of 2k inr.

Felt lucky to enjoy a grand meal at the Taj Bengal at its own All Day Dining - Cal 27
The name is derived from the location itself- Cal-cutta & -27 (Area code).

It offers versatile buffets and dishes on the Ala Carte too!
Right from its BF buffet to the Dinner buffet, the spread is attractive with all the inclusions.

The lunch buffet we had was extremely beautiful Costing INR 1850 +taxes (12.30 PM - 3.00 PM)
Inclusions -
Salads, Appetizers, Mains, Breads, Pizza, Pasta which is very filling for a human!
One must surely try this buffet and do go with an empty stomach!!

Apart from the Buffet, to explore we also had a few signature dishes from the Menu

*Lampraise- Srilankan speciality yellow rice wrapped in Banana leaf, with lampara chicken curry and vegetables served, signature dish of Taj Sri lanka

*Chicken Bunny Chow- a traditional South African speciality of hollowed out soft bread bun filled with Durban style chicken and vegetable curry, signature dish of Taj Capetown

*Fish and Chips- White fish fillet, panko crumb firied served with fries and tartare sauce

*Grilled Lamb Chops- 2 heavy pieces of lamb chops cuts Grilled in a scrumptious red sauce, served with starches and fibre

*Peruvian Asparagus platter with Butter nut

To conclude the meal, it was a good to choice to go with -Chilli Chocolate cake (I suggest this personally)

Apart from the food, what the culture of the 'Taj' is and will always be known about:
- well planned Ambience and Decor
- extravagant food presentation
- well knowledged and courteous staff
- fresh and quality ingredients

would love to try more of the dishes when next in the city, do visit for own Foodie experience

I had a lovely Sunday Brunch at cal27. On Sundays they donā€™t have ala carte option. We were greeted warmly and giving a seat overlooking the pool.The spread was huge. There was a huge spread of salads some were Mediterranean kind. The saald was really unique. There was sushi and prawn cocktail with different kind of cheese and salami. It was followed by shorba. There were a variety of veg kababs hara bhara kabab, dahi kabab, veg tikka, theree types of papad and dal. There was a lovely mushroom continental dish the name of which I donā€™t remember but it was soo tasty. Now from non section I tried everything. There was chicken in white gravy, duck somethingšŸ˜›, lamb tikkia,mutton curry, beef corn chili and roasted pork with vegetables. There was rohu, basa and prawn dish. There was biriyani and pulao. There was also a choice to order pasta and pizza from the live counter. We orderd tuna ravioli and chicken pizza. Food was really good. Everything in the spread was cooked really good apart fromt he biriyani and pulao. I didnt like the rice used to cook them. One more things they were also refilling thing with fresh items replacing the ones that are kept out for a long time which I really likes. The tuna ravioli is worth a mention. Now coming to dessert they were toi many to remember but all of them were sweetened perfectly. I liked most of them. There were also sugar free option. Even for ice cream they had 4 options. We had a sumptuous meal. The pocket pince was 2000+tax per head which was reasonable considering the spread and the ambience .

We ordered Risoto, Pav Bhaji, Thai curry with rice, Luchi Aloodum, Soup, Roti - Tarka Dal and desserts. The food tasty was good. However the service was very slow.

My experience at cal 27 was as expected!
I planned not to play Holi and just thought of sitting by here with a couple of friends for the specially curated menu for the Holi brunch.
The charts were specially added for Holi and was amazingly placed. Chola bhatura is worth a mention which we enjoyed the most.
The spread was massive.
Live counters such as pizza pasta salads etc
The plating was so colourful and apt for the occasion.
Someone with a sweet tooth could go bonkers as there were over 20 desserts to relish on.

Cal 27 is a all day restaurant inside TAJ Bengal. It has got both A La Cart and buffet menu. Restaurant decor is soothing and has peaceful ambience with the swimming pool view.

We have gone for Lunch Buffet. Buffet spread is really good and have a lots of option. Salad and Dessert counter has more than 10 varieties and their chocolate mud pie with ice cream option is a must try.

Indian menu items were also fresh a yum and has few Thai, Chinese and Italian option as well. I liked the Chicken Tikka, Lamb curry, Thai curry and hing dal a lot. They have lots of bread options available and one can order Butter Naan, Garlic Naan and laccha paratha separately.

Live counter has pizza and pasta options a true delight for kids and pizza lover. Thin crust pizza is highly recommended.

Staff is very courteous and have took good care of our requests during our visit.

I am giving 4 star as they should have included mocktail options for those not opting for beer on Weekend.

Tips: Weekend buffet cost is slightly more than weekday but comes with complimentary Beer. Kids above 5 is full price.

This ones the all day cafe or coffee shop at the Taj Bengal thatā€™s got a great contemporary inside sit out done very recently while they also have a good sit out by the pool
Like any other Taj hotel theyā€™ve got a great spread for the buffets but the breakfast is incredibly worth note making. Apart from various types of breads and bakery products, theyā€™ve got a lot of fresh options of juices to try in from
Theyā€™ve got a whole section of fresh vegetable juices too
I loved the waffle for its taste and itā€™s fine creative presentation thatā€™s different from most other cafes and hotels
Despite being in Bengal theyā€™ve made a good Idli, dosa and more
If youā€™re in the mood to try Bangla food for breakfast try the Puri and aloo
Donā€™t miss out the various types of Bengali sweets always there be at breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Am anytime great meal here is also the sandwich, Kathi roll or even a simple chilly cheese toast!

This place was in my bucket list since long !! After all, Taj is Taj !! The name is just enough.. And its ambience, courteous staff is just a reflection of it !! Coming to the food, good range of buffet. The starters were a little bland for the indian tongue, but they do have chutney n all to help you out. The highlight was the LIVE pizza and pasta counter. They make you customized pizza with italian think crust - just the way you want and with the exact toppings and size as well !! šŸ˜ƒ The pizza I had there was the best I have had till date !! The main course and desserts section was wide spread as well. They have a sugar-free section as well in the desserts for the diabetic guests. Overall, a wonderful experience for sure !!

I always visit this place ,which is a coffee shop in taj for two things ,one is a chocolate mudpie and another is the thin crust pizza
The chocolate mudpie is one of the best mudpie in kolkata i have ever had ,when the chocolate pours down ,its indeed insane !!
Secondly I love the thin crust pizzas here ,they are so light and extremely filling
And one more thing I like about this place is the thin crust pizza

The quality is good but being a 5 star prices are extremelly on a higher side

All together a great experience

This place has absolutely beautiful interiors which has beautifully represented typical Calcutta elements. There are mezzanine floors, wooden windows and chandeliers. We got a table overlooking the pool. The Saturday brunch had loads of items with a variety of salads, cheese,breads and soups to start with it. I loved the pork salami in this section a lot. There was also a live pizza and pasta counter. The main course had a good representation of Indian , Bengali, Continental and Chinese dishes. So kosha mangsho, basanti pulao to lasagne and biriyani. It had them all. The desserts were also extremely delicious. Loved the baked mihidana, gulabi dahi and fruit custard. Some of the desserts here were also sugar free.

The Saturday brunch was around Rs.2100 per head with unlimited beer which was a great deal and booking our tables through the EazyDiner App helped us avail some more discounts.

Just a suggestion- would like to see some kebabs or starters in the beginning along with the salads.

The hospitality was top notch as expected. Loved our visit. Had been longing to visit this place for a long time and finally could visit it

I hoped in on a Saturday evening . Luckily we got a seat immediately. The staff was courteous , polite . We ordered the homemade mezze - which is hummus and pita bread . It tasted quite nice.
we also ordered the vegetarian pizza (toppings - panner tikka , corn , bell pepper, and jalapenoes). it's a thin crust pizza but tastes delicious.
we had to wait quite a while for the cheque so that's a disappointment .
overall decent experience and recommended

Have been staying at Taj Bengal regularly since January this year - so Cal27 happens to be the restaurant I haunt most of the times. How do I describe the food?? Most appropriately as a 5 star homešŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹ Food here is the best combo of Indian and international cuisine!! The Indian cuisine has that typical Bengali touch which is yum - be it sandesh, mishti dahi, baked yoghurt, mustard oil fish etc. I had the green peas kachouri with aloo ki sabzi today morning - can't describe the taste otherwise except as so much like home - like what my angel mother used to cookšŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ Before I forget, don't ever miss out on having the masala tea served in either a glass tumbler or a eartherware kullhadšŸ˜ŽšŸ˜ŽšŸ˜Ž Will transport you to a dhaba for sure.

In the main section they had few bong delicacies, chkn biriyani, mutton curry, kebabs, grilled fish in lemon sauce was fabulous... Coming to dessert they had almost every thing.. Pies, cakes, payasam, 4 varieties of ice cream... It was a great experience..

After renovation of THE HUB, it has transformed into CAL27 and its a welcoming change( interioir decoration )though the dessert spread has decreased from the past in the buffet. Going to this place for more than a decade, everything seems good, but dessert spread saddened me this time.

Cal 27 really is like a noble Bengali mansion from Calcutta of yore. Beautiful and gracious while being full of energy and entertainment. I can imagine a newly wed bride peeking from behind the green slatted windowpanes on the upper level, taking in the hustle and bustle below. And almost visualise a musical soiree with elegant attendees, clinking glasses and muted conversations. The restaurant is so striking that I am at a loss to identify itā€™s most discerning feature. Would it be the sparkling black and white, checkerboard marble flooring? The unique wrought iron and copper chandelier? Or the expansive French windows offering views of the lovely poolside?

Iā€™m feeling privileged writing my pen down for review, Iā€™m so grateful to them for making our day so memorable. The ambiance just took our mind away and I really love that, we went for buffet which was 1914 including tax per person and it is really worthy. Even We had sought for Prawn Malaikari which was not available on the menu, the chef personally approached us and made that dish for us which extremely delicious and mouth watering. They know how to welcome people and their hospitality was marvellous. Iā€™d be honoured to be with them again very soon. Till then keep it up, be consistent like this, Iā€™m sure one day youā€™ll be in the Top across the Globe.

Visited Cal 27 , which opened after a long renovation of it's former , The Hub on my birthday dinner. I wanted to visit Grill By The Pool , which we got to know is open only in winters. The place excels for the widespread buffet they offer for all the three meals , which we had to skip that day owing to my birthday celebrations that begun the previous day and we hardly had the needed appetite to try even half their buffet spread.The ala carte options are straight and simple , consisting of pizza burger , pasta , grills , thai curry and some indian options as well , along with a wise selection of desserts. A complimentary bread basket was served before the food arrived .We tried two dishes , GRILLED KOLKATA BHETKI In lemon butter sauce with mashed potato and grilled vegetables , CHICKEN THAI GREEN CURRY that came with steamed rice. The portions were gigantic. The quantity of rice and curry was more than enough for two adults. Also the size of the bhetki fillets entirely justified the price. Other standalone fine dining restaurants serve half of this portion at half this price , therefore i would anyday prefer premium dining at a five star property . Needless to say the food was beyond authentic. I had a craving for their much appreciated mud pie ,but we were too full for a dessert , probably the next time !!

Great experience at Cal27 at Taj Bengal Kolkata. Loved the Mutton cutlets. Prawn risotto was fantastic, Nasi goreng could have been better. Tenderloin steak was slightly over cooked, but taste was fantastic. Great ambience & super service.

So they have redone the erstwhile 'The Hub' (packed in some new trendy furniture and flooring mostly). Cal-27 refers to the Pincode for Alipore (to personify Alipore? I like the name though, it takes me back to how Chandni Chowk was glorified by the use of Delhi-6 in popular culture. I have been here quite often lately (its close to my place, and hence convenient).

Breakfast
It has a few more things going for it - the buffet is extensive. Starting with a good range of fruits, cheeses, breads, cereal et al. The main course is a mix of South Indian, European, Oriental and North Indian fare (a decent couple of dishes to each). You have the eggs to order (the chef does sunny side up and scrambled rather well). The street style cutting chai is worth a try, as is the hot chocolate. The price is decent for the place. I like the feel of this place at this time, some really out-of-the-box cutlery and good ambience complete the experience. At 1,000 (all inclusive), its a good place.

Lunch
So the Sunday brunch buffet has a sort of a lazier feel, your typical North Indian and European spread at the heart (a couple of vegetarian and non-vegetarian curries, baked dishes and pasta to order). The spread could be wider, though the food is pretty standard 5-star coffeeshop grade. Boasts of a good array of appetisers for a lazy family Sunday lunch. The price includes a wine or champagne of choice, depending on the kind of buffet you go for. At 2,500 (all inclusive), they could definitely do better.

Dinner
Hardly any robust appetisers (just the one non-vegetarian and the one vegetarian tikka - cmon, cheese slices do not appetise you for a hearty dinner). The spread, again, is rather brief, but standard fare. It mirrors the sunday brunch buffet sans the alcohol. This place needs to take another look at itss dessert menu - they lack imagination for the most part - the meethi seviyan though, is stellar. Pizzas and pastas are available on order, and are worth going for. At 2,000 (all inclusive), its alright.

I would prefer a breakfast here over a dinner, any day. For a dinner or a lunch, you prefer to be pampered by a long list of choices which this place falls short on. Having said that, the staff is polite and steadfast. While priced shy of a Delhi Taj Mansingh, it is in no way underpriced. The transition from Hub to Cal-27 is overall, a pleasant one.

Now... When you plan to go to a place that is both legendary as well as heritage status holder, you expect something extraordinary. And why shouldn't we? Taj Bengal Kolkata is one of most purest and holistic hospitality experience.
It was on the occasion on my 5th anniversary and we wanted to start the day with a truly sumptuous breakfast. And Cal27 didn't disappoint me in front of my relatives.
Starting from really yummy sausages to creamy honey dipped pan cakes, from chocolacious waffles to cold cuts , all the dishes were truly a marvel.
We didn't like the fish much as a smell was coming from that. But apart from that, all the 25-26 items were awesome..

Highly recommended...

The coffee shop of Taj Bengal has reappeared in a new avatar. So was eager to check out this new place and one fine morning walked in for their breakfast buffet. The decor of this new restaurant is classy and modern, yet there are touches here and there (like those stuttered window designs) which reminds visitors of its old Kolkata roots.

The buffet spread was predictably huge, from cheese and cold cuts to sausages to puris to dosas and everything in between. Plus of course there were those fruit juices, cappuccino and masala teas being served in glasses (again a nod to Kolkata). Most of the stuff on offer was of a decent enough standard. Special praise is due to the freshly baked warm croissants. But there were a few like the plain dosa which needs improvement (could be crispier).

The service was warm and courteous throughout. Although in a hotel with such excellent speciality restaurants, the coffee shop will always be a bit overshadowed, but I believe that with some improvements, this place can hold its own.

Being a part of Taj Bengal, Cal 27 is decked up with grandeur. To be more specific, it has got a old Calcutta-kinda charm. We went there for a weekday dinner buffet. The spread was elaborate and carefully chosen. The salad section had a variety of cold cuts, all of them tasted very well. The main course showed various items from different cuisines. Among them, the tenderloin steak in black pepper jus was made to perfection. However, a few items, like Thai green curry or grilled fish in orange sauce could have been better. There were live sections for pasta, pizza, risotto, and Indian breads. We opted for a pepperoni pizza, a nicely made one. The dessert section was spectacular. It had pie to pudding to cheesecake to mouse to rabdi, to name a few. All of these tasted heavenly.Ā  Together, we had an wonderful dinner time there.

Generally speaking, in any big hotel, five star or above I mean to say, the coffee shop is one of the most neglected food joints. Now, please donā€™t get me wrong here. The food is normally good, in fact excellent- service- generally top notch. But, when compared to their own specialty restaurants, the coffee shop tends to lose its identity. So, when we were invited for a sneak peek of the to-be-opened coffee shop, Cal27, in Taj Bengal, we expected another usual 24X7 coffee shop. But, it proved, for us, to be something else gastronomically.
Ā 

9th of November was the inaugural party (and next day was the official opening) and for some reason, I was invited. It was slightly scary for me, because I mostly write on small joints and hidden gems of city and feel scared when invited to these big places. But, however, one fine evening, there I was, walking on the red carpet to the venue. It was built in place of Hub, the old coffee shop, a lovely place beside the pool. Cal27 is having 2 floors, where the first floor can be used for small get together and parties and one motion sensor lift was installed, with one liftman. Now, being Taj Bengal, the party had whos-who in town, literally, from cricket stars to industrialists and from socialites to industrialists, and even few bloggers- everybody was there. And, needless to say, it was a lovely evening.Ā 

As they say, a party is for enjoyment and not work and Taj Bengal management understood that. Hence, we were invited for a bloggerā€™s meetup after a few days over lunch. Now, we were just picking up few items from the buffet (basically some lovely looking pork belly with pineapple), while the menu concept was shared with us, but not before the lovely Cal27 (the signature cocktail with sugarcane juice and white rum).

But, first things first. I am a price sensitive customer ā€“ Hami gorib admi achhi. But, the pricing is such that, once a while, its affordable if someone is looking for some premium service. So, hereā€™s the buffet pricing, though I would suggest the a la carte dishes here. Read ahead for the reason ā€¦..

Breakfast Buffet: Rs. 850/-

Weekday Lunch Buffet: Rs. 1550/-

Weekday DInner Buffet: Rs. 1650/-

Saturday Lunch Buffet: Rs. 1750/- with unlimited beer

Sunday Brunch: Rs. 2150/- with sparkling wine

Sunday Brunch: Rs. 2950/- with champagne

For kids buffet lunch for weekend: Rs. 1200/-

(All prices without GST)

Now, surprisingly, this management team for this coffee shop has worked really really hard for the menu design. One dish, rather one best selling dish from each of the international Taj properties, were selected and put in the menu as a la carte items and needless to say, we were asked to sample them. But, statutory warning, portion sizes are really, really huge, so please take suggestion from your server while ordering.

First came the non-veg Bunny Chow. Now, there is a funny story for this dish. In a laymanā€™s language, bunny chow is hollowed large sized bun with vegetable or chicken filling. The dish was historically created in Durban. Stories of the origin of bunny chow date as far back as the migrant Indian workers arrival in South Africa. Migrant workers from India who were brought to South Africa to work the sugarcane plantations carried their lunch, mostly curried vegetable inside a hollowed out loaf of bread. Meaty version came later. And the story goes like, the word ā€œBunnyā€ came from ā€œBaniyaā€. The dish is super non-spicy and kid-friendly. But, as I will keep on saying, its actually a huge bun, so order wisely. Iā€™ve never had the privilege of f having it in its native land, but friends told me, the original version is served in a simple, humble bread loaf. But, a nice soft bun replaced it here, and I didnā€™t mind that.

While we were finishing the dish, our favorite came, with the perfect accompaniment of tarter sauce, butter and mashed peas- the British battered fry from St James Court, London. Here a beer batter was used and to prevent the fry from getting soggy, no salt was used in the batter and was supposed to be added separately (if needed). Now, 2 large pieces of Betki canā€™t go wrong and naturally it didnā€™t. And, this is going to be my go-to-dish when I come back next with family.

A portion of non-veg Lamprai (From Taj Samudra, Colombo) came next. Now, this was the first time Iā€™ve tasted this dish. Lamprais, is one of the most popular dishes of Dutch Burgher cuisine. The origin of the word Lamprais remains unclear but it is thought to be the anglicized version of the original Dutch words ā€“ klomp (lump) rijst (rice). Basically, yellow rice with meat ball, curried meat, one boiled egg and yellow rice was wrapped inside a banana leaf and was steamed. And while opening, a nice intoxicating smell hit us and I fell in love with this immediately. The rice was a bit soggy and being a perfect street food from Sri Lanka, this was a full one-dish meal in itself. The quantity is sufficient to be divided by two adults.Ā 

We all are familiar with Nasi Goreng, the mixed meat cousin of Indonesian fried rice. But unlike other places, this dish here, was relatively milder in nature, yet not losing its taste. Straight from Vivanta By Taj, Rebak Island, Langkawi, this dish was basically a comfort food.Ā 

And finally, it was Fish exotica from Taj Exotica, Maldives. It was fish and prawn cooked with lemon grass, fresh turmeric and sambal. It is either I am not accustomed with the smell of sambal, or the taste of that Lamprai was still inside my head, this dish went okay with me. But as they say, itā€™s an acquired taste and something which everybody (except me) loved- bad me ā€¦..

The dessert was chocolate and chilly mousse-cake. Though I was full, but desserts are like your toddler- they always push in and makes space for itself inside you and you feel happy having it. Forget about the glamorous looks, taste was divine.

So here's the thing. I've given slightly above an average rating because the evening started on a sour note but ended well. Read the review completely before passing judgement.
First the positive
The new decor is fabulous. Looks like a great place to go to after a long night out for a good meal.
The negative
Looks like they haven't learned lessons yet from the Hub days. I'll elaborate
The coffee shop right now is more likely to be tested as a restaurant because it's new and people in Calcutta always try all the new places.
So as expected it was crowded. We walked in and were fortunate enough to be able to get a table which had been vacated.
The table was provided to us without really cleaning up. There was a rather large food stain on the table cloth and a fresh plate had been put in place over it. 2 pieces of cutlery provided had particals of food on them and we had to ask them to change it. Not expected from a 5 star hotel experience.
The food came and while my shrimp nasi gore got was excellent the roasti ordered by my wife lacked flavour and a key side dish (cheese sauce) was missing. By the time we informed them and they hurriedly got it the food was cold. And the cheese sauce was a watered down salty liquid which didn't taste appetising.
So now annoyed we asked for the manager and an Assistant Manager named Rahul approached us. Taj must be doing something right because he provided us with old school service.
The chef was summoned and we had an opportunity to explain our disappointment to him.
Rahul then went on to try and replace the roasti with a new one though we refused because.. Well you don't feel like it after that (what a waste though... Sigh). He also went ahead and gave us a fabulous desert on the house as an apology.
All on all a good meal and price as expected.
So well done in the end because I feel that he salvaged the night and I think I'll definitely be going back.

Cal 27 is one of the best restaurants in Kolkata. However, not many know it is also the best choice for people with lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance and celiacs. I have been to many restaurants in Kolkata but have always ended up with a gluten accident, as proper care was not taken. This is a place you can trust completely. Food- I was told they could prepare anything for me as per my health preference and there was no limit to the options. I ordered Grilled Fish, Herb Rice and a brownie. Food was 10/10 in taste, texture and flavor. Service- The catering assistant Nizamuddin Ahmed took extra care from the moment we called Cal 27 to inquire if it is gluten and lactose free friendly restaurant. He cleared all my queries patiently and provided the best service while dinning. His positive and friendly attitude added to our experience. In fact, the entire catering team at the restaurant was very careful and responsible about gluten cross contamination. Chef - I would want to extend a special gratitude to the Chef Susovan Chakroborty. He was very compassionate, responsible, and caring through out my dinning experience. The Chef ensured each and everything was cooked from scratch using fresh utensils and special care was taken to avoid any cross contamination. It was refreshing to have a Chef who was well versed about celiac or food intolerances, and I did not have to explain the smallest detail. Chef Chakraborty was very kind and thoughtful to offer a lactose free and glutenfree dessert even before I placed an order for the same. Cost - Value for money! My experience here was amazing especially because of Mr. Nizamuddin Ahmed and Chef Susovan Chakraborty. A special thank you to the entire team of Taj for an easy and relaxing experience.
