Calcutta Bungalow

A beautiful place with the traditional aesthetics. Loved just being there. Very clean (including the toilets) and green. The essence of incense and dhoona really brings home the nostalgia. However staff could be a bit friendlier. Most disappointing thing was the food. I was rather looking forward to the traditional Bengali cuisine as promised on the menu. It was all a bit unhealthy for my personal taste I had expected the typical Indian bengali greens and vegetables. Even the shukto was full of bori(lentils balls) and pathetically low on bitter gourd, beans and green banana etc. Saag was totally missing. No mochar chop. I had ordered gondhoraj ghol as starter. I saw tamarind drinks (tetuler shorbot) will be served with my thali. So was really not happy when they replaced it with yet another gondhoraj ghol, without even asking me! I couldn't drink it and it was a waste. The mutton was tough. Could have been cooked to the softness as expected, so that it falls off the bone. Keema sandwich also came with chips, when we would have preferred salad. Luchi came with aloo, when we would have preferred begun bhaja (aubergine). Staff should communicate with customers more and understand their preferences. Some of us do eat healthy.

I visited Calcutta Bungalow to dine at Lunchtime. The ambience was good, the place is compact so not much space for a large group of people. Food was good and tasty 😋, but service is not good. Less staff to manage the place. I want to share my experience: we ordered a starter and Main course at the same time. so Food came one by one, but something was missed, like Plates came 10 min after food was served at the table. So we have to eat cold food. No staff nearby to order the next food items, so we waited for the staff to visit us. Too much of a delay in services in this place. So if you have ample time then visit this place.

Great experience it was. We went for the aesthetic ambience and it was upto the mark. Though we heard that there is no ac over there, uncomfortable place. But they have ac in several places, and at the dinning place also. The rooftop was closed due to government order. So we sat at the ground floor. The service was a bit slower but all the food we ordered was too much tasty. We were very satisfied. The behaviour of staff was also good. We ordered chicken cheesy fritters, gondhoraj ghol, virjin mojito, basonti polao and mutton calcutta bunglow. The taste of each item was yum.

Calcutta Bungalow is a totally vintage category of moderate place. Mainly the 1st floor interior are too good! Food are very delicious mostly i am also highly recommend the fish items! One of the best and vitange place i even seen in North kolkata. 🤍

Rooms were nice , but the place is very small. Nothing much to do here. Yes you can visit the cafe , food is excellent. It is in the middle of a residential area , nothing much to explore near by , the space is not Kid Friendly.

On a very fine evening we planned and visited Calcutta Bunglow for refreshments after a tiring lab schedule. It was summer and we tried mocktails first. Tetuler moshla sorbot, gondhoraj ghol, aam er moshla lassi- three were so refreshing. Then we tried sandwiches, cheesy chicken fritters, lonka achar fish nuggets . The tasty was really good. The ambience was too good. There are floors with different sitting arrangements. It is actually Majumdar's mansion, the heritage of old kolkata is the main attraction. The feeling of having snacks in a mansion is amazing. The service was prompt and the total experience is very pleasant. Mostly recommended.

We 4 friends have stayed at Calcutta bunglow on our trip to Kolkata. The property is a heritage bunglow converted into a boutique hotel provided a traditional Bengali household experience. Highlight of the stay was their breakfast spread, including traditional food along with mishti. The stay is very warm and friendly. The restoration done is beautiful. Location is convenient. |It felt like home.|Hope to visit again.

This is totally a winter season place. Ideal location for any day during the winters. Food quality is very very good. Serving time is less. But, they don't have any air conditioned dinning area. The cafe is at rooftop and open air. I could have given a 4 star, which they deserve but am deducting 1 star for a reason. I went there yesterday (20th April 2025) asked them if anything can be arranged to dine-in in an air conditioned place, to which they bluntly said no. But later while moving out I found out that they have made arrangements for another group. Mind you neither us nor the other group had made any reservations. Why such byast ness?? Hence, I deduct 1 star and rate this a 3star.
