Calcutta Bungalow

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.

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.

Experience The Bungalow for a few nights! In a vibrating area with Jain Temples and just people living! Life in real Kolkata! Everything has already been said but I will repeat it! The staff genuinely caring and attentive to all your needs. The roof top restaurant, convenient, good and pleasant. The rooms with exceptional themed decoration, spacious, impeccably clean and equipped ( fridge, air con, fans etc.) the Metro is walking distance and Ubers will always be called for you on demand. Convenient to have Calcutta Walks as part of the bungalow. Not to miss, Confluence of Cultures and Bringing The Goddess to Earth walks with Tuhina.

An entirely nostalgic experience indeed. Every corner, each floor has a strong presence. We literally spent 10-15mins on each floor gazing the beauty at every space the place has. It not only ends there then they have a terrace where you feel the most peace even at daylight. The staffs members were also very kind and generous. One thing I really appreciate they let us enjoy our moment without chasing us. I would highly recommend everyone to experience this beauty where there is art, culture, history and beauty.

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.

Here’s the revised version of your review with your update included: ⸻ ⭐☆☆☆☆ I’ve visited Calcutta Bungalow twice now and both experiences were extremely disappointing due to the long wait times. The first time was on Saraswati Pujo, when we were asked to wait for over 3 hours. While we understood it was a festive day, we gave it another chance a few months later on a regular weekday. Shockingly, we were again told to wait for over an hour. What’s worse is that customers are made to wait outside on the road, with no effort to even offer indoor seating while waiting. There’s absolutely no consideration for guest comfort. Eventually, we had to leave and find another place for lunch. I genuinely don’t understand how a restaurant can operate like this — always overbooked or simply poorly managed. Definitely not worth the hype or hassle.
