A nice cosy joint with consistently good quality food. I’ve come here quite a few times over the years and the standard of food has remained high for the most part. A big fan of their mushroom soup and I normally don’t have soup at all so that’s saying something. Pastas used to be very good as well though I haven’t tried it in recent times. The grilled prawns which was another favourite of mine had dipped a little in standard the last time I went with the flavours of the sauce being altogether too strong but the Lamb Shank picked up my mood as it was wonderful as always!
The home made orange rind ice cream was a nice way to end the meal.

This place is basically a restaurant which belongs to kookie jar and is situated in alipore food bazar building !!
So I have visited this place like ample number of times but this time after a very long time I visited this place
So now I would briefly discuss each factor of the plAce
Ambience :well ,they have a good seating space ,and it is quiet calm and composed and every tables has its own privacy ,this place is moreover good for a date ,altogether a good place as far as the ambience is concerned
Service : The average waiting time for the food to come was 15 to 20 mins which is extremelly decent ,which is neither too slow nor too fast
Staffs ;well, coming to this I have a small complaint ,well being a regular zomato reviewer,I click pictures of the ambience of the place ,while I was taking picture of the every area of place ,one of the staff told me not to do ,the tone in which he said sounded a little rude to me ,otherwise the stAffs were responsive of our needs
Food :Well we ordered a whole wheat pizza and molten choco lava cake ,the choco lAva cake was just heavenly and the pizza was also crispy and delicious but again one small complaint ,they did not serve ketup along with pizza so we had to ask for it,overall good
Portion;the portion was extremelly good enough for two people
Pricing :for two people the per head cost came around 500 ,I feel it was decent enough ,because the portion was more than enough
Altogether a must try place
Very good quality of food however very expensive and less quantity really like the food though very tasty and also satisfactory though expensive it makes up for the quality
Fine dining. Love the place. Breakfast is good and the mud pie is tasty and perfect gooey. Love the mushroom cappuccino and the pizza. The service is prompt.
Prolly, the best schnitzel I ever had in Kolkata! Perfectly cooked, bit crispy, succulent with my fav toppings. Yummy! Would have rated 5/5 but -1 because for the pricing. Kookie Jar has always been favourite for its quality.
The most creatively appetising meal in the town.Steeply priced yet worth every penny.
Each dish is such a visual treat and Just oh so perfect on the tastebuds.
The to die for hot chocolate was so chocolatey and creamy to the yummy spiced watermelon salad was one of the best that I’ve ever had.
The beet root & goat cheese ravioli just melts in the mouth and super yummy.The thin crust pizza was just average and not the best I’ve had.
Over all quite an amazing place with all day dining options.

This place has been existing for a long time now in the Kolkata food scene and has been constant in its food and service according to my family who visit here quite often.
The set up is very casual and comfortable. The menu is decent and the restaurant is also backed by Kooki Jar for confectioneries.
What we ordered:
-Chef Salad : beautiful and fresh. We asked for extra feta cheese and it made the salad even better tasting.
-Mushroom Cappucino : it was a little too grainy for my taste. I have had this dish in a couple os restaurants,the broth is smoother andthe mushroom tastes sings more than in this place. But it wasn't too bad
-Chicken Stroganoff :again just a good dish,nothing extra ordinary but not bad as well. It had taste but somehow I felt the oomph was missing.
-Chocolate Sandwich with Belgian Ice Cream : the sponge was decent but the belgian ice cream was the best part of this dessert. I would rather just get couple of scoops only of the icecream.
The service was quick since we were the only people on a weekday afternoon and the prices were nominal (around 700-800 per head)
Great food, made with fresh, super quality ingredients, fabulous presentations and ever warm and smiling people ! Special mention to Chef Suvneet!
Mangio is located in Alipore, in the kookie jar floor.
Their ravioli is a must try and also their thin crust margherita pizza is a must try. If you're going their for just a meeting, then do try their hot chocolate, the hot chocolate is a must have.
Mangio is one place which has been consistently serving quality food since years now! Their pasta, pizza and the risotto are all quite nice though the place is slightly over priced. The desserts obviously are amazing KJ's bakery backing them. Would be good if they could now revise the menu and come out with new dishes since in the vegetarian options and reconsider their pricing given their portioning.
I like this place for quick catch ups with my peeps!
Well Lit up yet cozy I'm fond of their minimal ambience ! I love their salads and mocktails . Dessert favourite being their handmade ice creams ! Belgium chocolate is amazing ! Their shakes are good too. The staff is warm :)

I have come here often since the day it opened. It was a favorite of mine until my last experience. The ambiance is still classy. The food has consistently deteriorated but is still delicious especially there new additions (try out the spiced watermelon salad, the salad with the oranges which's name I can't remember and the new Lebanese dish with pita pockets). If my review were limited to the food it would have probably been a 4.5 or 5 star review(I don't understand some of the negative reviews here, the food is definitely worth trying, I think most people were shocked by the price which is very very high). Sadly, I also must take into account service - I had to wait forty-five minutes for a salad which was served after the main dish. They literally gave the same dish we ordered to a table that had been seated 10 minutes after us, before they managed to give it to us. Also they forgot one of my orders. Needless to say, I didn't leave a tip. Neither will I be visiting again.
However, I don't wish to pass my bad experience on to the rest of you. Thus, I would still suggest you visit this restaurant. The food is certainly worth it, if nothing else is.
See what you can flare up with traditional Bong ingredients (like Bhetki, Lamb etc). Bong fusion at its best! Try the mains. Make sure you leave room for the desserts! On the higher side of prices for a cafe cum restaurant. But good tasty food overall.

Tucked inside a Kookie Jar outlet in New Alipur is the Mangio, where I landed up with a few friends on a rainy evening. The staff was a little clueless when asked if we could take pictures of the place, and that included the manager, which I found to be very surprising indeed.
The menu was big, and full of seductive descriptions but sadly one of the salad which I was very excited to see, wasn't available. I always prefer small menus of which everything is available, rather than the reverse.
I am an ardent ravioli lover and ordered the Beetroot and Goat-cheese Ravioli in Walnut Cream and Parmesan Gravel. The thin, wonderfully even, al-dente pasta pouches were filled with not-so-generous amounts of a filling which sung of beetroot and goat's cheese unmistakably. The walnut cream coated the two generously and was lovely and velvety.
The Pizza however, was very ordinary and largely unimpressive.
So my rating would be for the ravioli and that only. There are loads of improvements to be made before they can justify the price they charge for their food.
It certainly is among my top fave.... The food served is hearty and healthy .... I mighty 5 points...😊…....................................
Located in a posh area, this place is attached to a famous bakery Kookie jar which is more popular than Fury's now . It is most convienant to meet friends as one can use it as a coffee joint and also for lunch . The pizzas there are good and so are the juices . One can have a variety of tea but coffee options are limited ,
The service and ambience is ideal for meeting up with friends ,
It is not wheelchair friendly as there is no ramp from the road to the footpath , and there are 2 steps at the entrace.

Last week I had been to this place for coffee. And this place turned out to be decent enough. I have orders for a Cafe Mocha and Fresh Fruit Pudding. The coffee tasted more like a hot chocolate served with a cinnamon stick on top. Which totally gave me the cinnamon flavour in my mouth. The coffee wasn't that strong though.
The Fresh Fruit Pudding was super delicious, very much fresh and soft. Loved the pudding.
The ambience of the place was good. Wasn't that crowded.
The service providers were quite friendly. Wish to visit this place again.
The food is good no doubt but overtly expensive a basic grilled fish is for 750 bucks, juices for 225. So, unless you are feeling remarkably rich, it's better to give this place a miss
Oh my god this place is fantastic.
I've been in and out of Calcutta every year all my life because of family, and Mangio has always been my favorite place in the city. It's cute, and it's extremely well presented in its simplicity.
Food: if you don't mind the smokey taste, the smoked tomato soup is TO DIE FOR. I'm dead serious, you won't regret it. Next, I can guarantee you haven't had a Caesar salad in the way they present it here. I really love the mushroom risotto as well.
Finally, if you like chocolate, do yourself a favor and get a chocolate boat or two (or three). You will not be disappointed.
Overall, I absolutely love this place :)
The food is yummy ! the preparation was not consistent when I ordered potato is truffle sauce with spinach, gravy was less and hardly any salt on top of that the leaves where overflowing the entire dish. Last time is was bang on. A must have is Mille feuille and the chocolate ice cream. Homemade fettuccine was good but a bit bland. Salads are excellent. All in all good place for lunch or snacks .
Its a outlet in enclave mall new alipore. We went there during evening time. The ambience was quiet and relaxing. At first we ordered fresh apple juice and roasted chicken amd onion soup.umn the soup was really yummy. We felt more refreshed after the fresh apple juice. Then we ordered tenderloin steak and lamb shank. My partner really liked his steak as it was cow meat and he loves to have cow meat always. And my lamb shank was pretty good but it was a way more salty. I mean i like salt but it was a little bit more salty.except that part my lamb was delicious and i loved it.
If you like experimenting with your food and have a palate for something a bit unusual, try this place. I visit them very often since 2007 or 2008 I guess. Quality and taste of food have been very consistent. Those who know and love their food will agree with me on the fact that there are not many restaurants who manage to keep the food quality and taste consistent. It's difficult but this place has done well here with the selective menu of theirs. Tad bit expensive but its a good experience, even the crowd is very selective.
The freshest food served in town!
Yummy salads and everything else too
My favs : Caesar salad, Chef's salad, soups
For those who love fish, they have wonderful servings for them too inc the Bengali delicacies
Only the ambience I felt could be worked on
The seating can be a bit more comfortable and tables can be more spacious
If you crave for Italian and don't want to move out of Alipore area then this is THE place to be. An amazing array of dishes along with the best Molten Lava cake ever!
Had visited it long back once. The mushroom soup is out of the world and the taste is still in my mind. The pasta was enjoyable as well. It is located in one of the kookie jar outlet. Really nice place to visit.

My favourite place in this area for a quick bite , the quesadillas are too good, eating salads at the salad bar gives you a very healthy feeling,the omelette is just superb and is served with grilled tomatoes . Fresh juices and soups also available always . Love going to the place even if I am alone to enjoy some yummy food. It's expensive but the quality they serve is very good.
It is my favourite place to eat in this area. They make awesome pizzas and their asparagus risotto is fabulous. I also love their green Thai curry. The pancakes are delicious too. Till date, whichever dishes I have called for have been yummy and I'm never disappointed when I come here.
The service is excellent too.
It's been so many years since Mangio has been around. I'm not their regular customer, but every time I go their, I'm blown over. It seems never compromise with the quality of their ingredients and the food is so fresh and tasty!
One word for Mangio - BRILLIANT and perfectly balanced food. Amazing ambiance and delicious foooood!!! The special menu has some interesting dishes.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Mangio which is located inside a kookie jar outlet in Alipore is bit of an high end restaurant !
I was a pretty regular customer way back in 2010-11, their menu was quite interesting ! It's located in Alipore and the irony is its just located besides Gold's Gym! Which isn't fair because after a pretty heavy work out gorging on their ice creams haven't done much good to me atleast !
It's basically an extension of kookie jar with fine dining experience.
Their chicken stroganoff ( I do not know whether it's still a part of the menu ) was superb! So was the fish and chips! @
But I remember I mostly ordered my favourite freshly squeezed watermelon juice and a couple of "made from the scratch" kookie jar ice creams - which by the way are to die for and any day better than the canned Baskin Robbins ones, well atleast according to me.
The dining area is a little cramped because they have a huge adjoining kookie jar shop! You can also have the usual kookie jar favourites like corn puff, chicken envelope, chicken and mushroom patties, chicken egg sandwich etc at an elevated price ( taxes!!! ) inside this place!
It has been a while since I was there and I see they have a little different menu right now so might visit soon :)
So, the food here is pretty good . Its refreshing nice continental food.
We had fish and chips which was really nice and crispy.
We had ravioli which was nice but a tad bit salty.
Then we had an amazing that green curry which was really nice and just how it should be .
And we had a chicken steak which was again a little salty but it was nice and soft and not bad in terms of taste.
And the dessert was really nice , we had a sundae, it was really good.
Overall an amazing experience.
We often have late evenings at office and Mangio is probably the place we have visited the most for dinner. We have probably tried most items on their menu but special shout out for the paper fish, salads, mushroom soup, Thai and Malaysian curries, baked Bhetki. We love this place!!
Simply put - A great Experience.
One of the best places to have Tenderloin Steak, Steak Sandwich and huge choice of Continental food. Ambiance is smooth and cool. Staffs are very courteous and paid attention to finer details. My friends daughter was feeling cold, before we could tell the staff, the turned down the Air-Conditioner.
Food is too good. Steak-perfectly cooked and perfect pink inside. Ofcourse the Nutty Triangle does not require special attention, they are the best nutty triangles you will ever have.
Pinch on the pocket - A bit on the higher side. A perfect place for a family celebration
Overall - Loved it :-)
If you're at mangio do try the spiced watermelon salad. It is the perfect combination of fruits and vegetables. The baked bekti in paper is incredibly good too. But you have got to try the desserts before you leave. We drooled over the blueberry mille-feuille and the caramelised rosemary apple tart.
I had the ham and cheese sandwich followed by the molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. And I'm not sure which of the two deserves more praise than the other. To say the least, both are HEAVENLY. The ham used in the sandwich is one of the finest quality. And the time for the dessert to arrive was totally worth it given the aroma of the cake and the sandwich settling down gradually. To top it, a classy ambience as well!
It is located inside the "kookie jar" outlet of alipore. "Mangio" has added a classic and distinctive quotient to the value of kookie jar all together. When "kookie jar" comes to our mind we think about dropping by to pick some of our favorite pastries, tarts, foccasias, cakes, cookies etc. But with the addition of "Mangio" now it is much more than visiting kookie jar for our sweet tooth cravings. "Mangio" is a complete presentation of culinary glamour. Their offerings revolves from mediterrenean, european, asian, italian etc; like salads(caesar salads, mushroom salads, chef's special salad[definitely worth trying], pastas, sphaghetti, lasagna, sandwiches, lamb shanks and what not. It is a complete package to hypnotize your pallete with their tantalizing cuisines. With the presence of "Mangio" it has become a perfect place to execute your sunday brunch in a cozy and classic ambience. Till date i have never been dissapointed and hopefully you won't be either.
Hidden behind the walls of Kookie Jar is a fine place to hog over mouth watering servings. My all time favourite here is the Omlettes. Haven't been in a long time so don't know if the menu is still decently priced or overpriced. In any case it is a place to be for a foodie.
Good food but little boring, please change your menu with different style of foods...........
Am a vegetarian who loves this place as much as my non-veg friends do. Their tortellini with plum tomatoes and their mushroom capuccino are my favourites! Apart from that the watermelon salad has a unique taste to it because of their amazing dressing. The freshness and temperature of every element in the salad makes it so. Additionally, have tried their pesto pasta and the sri lankan lentil soup which are alright. Ambience is great but a smallish place with only about 15 tables so do ensure they have tables when you want to go. The attached Kookie Jar is well-known for its baked goodies, so that's always a plus when we visit this place!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Mangio is a place I visit often as its very close to my office. I have been a regular patron both of the Kookie Jar shop outside as well as the dining at Mangio. Like every regular I have my favorites but on and off I like to try other stuff as well. Both the Smoked Tomato Soup and the Sri Lankan Curried Lentil Soup are good bets to start your meal with. Caesar Salad is quite nice and a soup and salad is great for a working lunch. The Tenderloin Steak Sandwich is my pick if I am in a bready sort of mood and I have so far enjoyed it although of late I feel that they need to be a bit more generous with the tenderloin stuffing inside. For the mains I recommend the Fish and Chips , Grilled Prawns , Lamb Shanks and the Tenderloin Steak. For a sweet ending try the homemade ice-creams , Creme Brulee or the Cheese Cake and ofcourse you can order any of the desserts from Kookie Jar outside. However I have given them a lower rating than in my previous reviews because with the advent of Smoke House Deli , Chili's etc the service is below par , the decor is dated and the pocket pinch is marginally higher. Time to buck up Mangio !!!!

Mangio has delicious food and I quite like the ambience as well. Service is good as is the quality of the produce .... all these factors plus the fact that location wise its bang next to my office have made me visit this place fairly regularly. My usual meal if I am there on a working day comprises of the Sri Lankan Curried Lentil Soup .... similar in flavours to the Mulligatawny Soup which is a personal favourite, I am yet to come across another place that serves this in the city. I follow it up with either the Caesar Salad which is very nice or the Tenderloin Steak Sandwich which is delicious. The Cream Cheese and Olive Ravioli as well as the Stir Fried Udon Noodles in Ponzu Sauce with Prawn Tempura are two other delicious dishes that I recommend. Being part of the Kookie Jar chain the desserts are very good , do give their home-made ice-creams a try if you have a sweet tooth. They open at 8am for breakfast as well and the pancakes and omelettes are excellent when combined with the selection of fresh juices on offer.

Mangio is run by the same management as Kookie Jar . A great place for breakfast / lunch or dinner that is a little different. They have a sort of a world cusine which I like because you will find a dish for every mood .... good service in a pleasing decor with consistent quality is the hall mark of this place. Love their Iced Tea and their fish and chips .... also some of the thai and oriental dishes are yummy !!! When your tastebuds feel like a bite of something different do drop by !
Deliciousness defines the food their, though not much can be said about the service as there was none.

Enough said..
Had an amazing Christmas brunch at mangio..starting with a mushroom cappuccino followed by Malaysian veggie curry,potato roesti,pizza and whole wheat spaghetti. Finished the meal of with sumptuous berry Mille fuille and almond crunch home made ice cream..what more could I ask for!
Good place but Service very slow and lot of times had to wait after placing the order.
I have to admit - If I want a good steak, one of the first places that comes to my mind is this. We recently decided on a quick meet up at Alipore, and ended up at Mangio in the afternoon. I was interested in the steak, while my friend was all for chicken. Our eyes also fell on the house made pasta with mushrooms, and we ended up ordering the chicken steak, tenderloin and the pasta. Our pasta actually came in first, and it was a lovely jumble of fresh pasta, perfectly seared mushrooms and generous bits of sun dried tomatoes. We quickly got our steaks, and I had ordered mine medium, and it was medium. For desserts, we wanted molten chocolate cake, and they warned me that it would be late - around 20 minutes. We were fine with that, and it came in after a while, and was INCREDIBLE.
Why am I cutting off marks then? The service, while nice, was Incredibly slow, and that is what we hated the most. Inattentive was the word and we had to catch their attention with difficulty.
Exelent . But you have to deliver your food quickly . If you wouldnt have made this mistake you would have got 5.0 . Another suggestion , you should have atleast one bengali meal or rice or something see because even KFC has launched a meal called rice bowlz . Though you are italian you should do that . Hygiene is perfect . I have nothing else to say . :)

Mangio - My must visit place if I am in alipore area and also if i have a lot of time in hand.
I have been to mangio more than a couple of times and never been let down by the food here.
From the feta filled mushrooms (Which By the way are absolutely delicious) to the mouth watering sticky rice with malaysian curry, everything just tastes great.
Must try are the feta filled mushrooms , the sticky rice with malaysian curry and the pasta. The desserts are exceptional considering it is also an extension of kookie jar. Was pleasantly surprised with the strawberry mille fuille. Loved every bit of it.
Now the let down, and this is a let down every single time is the SERVICE. The waiters are so laid back and slow it takes forever to get the food. last time it took over 40 minutes to even get the starters ready.
So go try MANGIO but only if you have enough time in hand.
I ordered Chicken Quesadilla. It had too much rosemary in it. Apart from this little glitch, the fish and chips was scrumptious. And the water-melon juice extremely well balanced. Overall a very pleasant experience for the stomach. The ambience is very beautiful, hence food for eyes too!
Best hot choc and vanilla ice cream I've ever had.
One restaurant which never disappoints. Its a restaurant closeby which we visit twice to 3 times in a month. The staff are very warm and recognize us maybe because we are regulars. Ambience is good. Service is not bad.
Must try dishes:-
Corn and Cheese Foccasia Sandwich
Oodon Noodles
Roshtis
Risotto
Mud pie
and blue berry cheese cake shots ( I guess its been discontinued now)
Good going guys!!
Understated elegance and class thats whats Mangio aims for , and succeeds . Pricey but once ur done with the whole experience of eating here it doesnt pinch the pocket that much . The quality of food here is quite good , but the one item that i must talk about is the cheese cake in a fruit soup , i can walk a 100 km it sample it over and over again. the ambience is beautiful and service pleasant . If you are in mood to eat good food and splurge mangio is the place to be...

Slick, smooth and effortlessly classy venue.No wonder,it's a favoured haunt of high rollers and if you fancy a spot of informal glamour, there is very much a sense of those comfortable with their money here!!!!
No expense is spared in making the foodies feel comfortable.
The diverse all-day menu continues to deliver cracking sandwiches, top-drawer pizza and 'adorable' mains-lasagne,Spaghetti and risotto.. To finish, the cheesecake is 'out of this world'!!
Tried out the following sandwiches:-
Corn and cheese,khoubz wrap and roast chicken(The SANDWICHES are to die for!!)....
For the Main Course,had tenderloin steak(with wasabi baked potatoes) and finally,the cheese cake with fresh fruit soup.
Staff is friendly and efficient, swift and attentive. The ability to mix and match from sandwiches,salads to mains allows for a diverse variety of combinations and one is rarely disappointed.
Despite the restaurant being busy, we were allowed more than ample to sit and talk at our table once the plates had been cleared away, a very welcome approach!!
An unbeatable location and a really quite pleasant seating arrangement- inside and outside,plus a take-away counter,spacious and comfortable, these are further advantages...
Unequalled and unique food presentation!!
A MUST for those who love Italian and Continental food!

Food
Brilliant. Thoroughly enjoy all their preparations. There is a sort of a magic touch, a wow factor which is unique to Mangio. Something even as basic as a lasagne is prepared so meticulously and presented so gracefully, you know it will satisfy you the moment it reaches your table.
I generally like to order Asparagus Soup, Caesar Salad, Homemade Fettuccine, Lasagne and Pizza.
Service
Average when the place is full. It takes a few minutes before you can locate a steward and you can't help but feel they are under staffed. They are very courteous though.
Ambience
Good. The crowd generally is young and vibrant. A nice atmosphere to have a good meal. The tables could do with a bit more space. It gets quite cramped if you order more than 2 dishes.
Value
Meal for 2 would cost btw Rs 2000 - Rs 2500. It's expensive but you can be assured you won't find a similar style of preparation elsewhere in the city. Love going back every time.
Possibly one of the best fine dining options in the city where there is no dearth of Continental restaurants but there is very little class and quality. The menu is limited but well thought out and planned. I was recently very disappointed with the service, we had to ask for water twice, we were given menu cards and cutlery with food smeared on it (the ipad menu cards are no longer available). The food is generous, well balanced and tastes exceptionally good. The desserts are true to the Kookie Jar standards and legacy. However, alcohol is not served here. All in all a good dining option, though I'd hope that the quality of service gets back to the previous standards and matches up with the quality of the food.
