Kasturi

Great place to have some bengali thalis. We had two thalis, one normal fish thali and one pabda shorshe maharaja thali. The thali's were quite filling and we loved the local bengali taste. The pabda shorshe was exactly how I would have imagined it. We also ordered prawn cutlets and chilli fish as well. The prawn cutlets were amazing. I went there with kids and the kids loved the Pineapple Smoothie, although I think it was a bit too sweet. We went a bit early for lunch, so we got place easily. The restaurant got crowded as we started heading out.

It was authentic to die for Bengali food...we tried mostly fish and prawn dishes. The small fish, hilsa and paturi were amazing! The dal and aloo bhaja with the lemon was authentic! Hygiene wise not so great...old building not well kept! Reatins the old world look and feel

Known as the pioneer to establish an authentic Dhakai Bangladeshi eatery in Kolkata, Kasturi is an award-winning restaurant wowing the guests with their delicious Dhakai Flavors. When it comes to economy and Bengali cuisine, this simple but elegant place definitely tops the list and their crowded premises serve as a testament to this very fact. Their entire menu focuses on bringing alive the unadulterated taste of Bangladesh. Quintessentially Bangladeshi in its taste, flavour, and atmosphere, Kasturi is an iconic joint that still invokes nostalgia of an unpartitioned Bengal. Start your meal with a hearty plate of steamed rice and their exquisite ‘Shona Moong Dal with Prawns', you will not be disappointed. Their ‘Mutton Kosha’, ‘Katla Kalia’ (Fish delicacy), and ‘Dhakai Hilsa Biryani’ are worth trying. If you are a vegetarian or want to try some of the veg delicacies on the menu, then go for ‘Begun Bhaja’, ‘Jhur Jhure Alu Bhaja’ and ‘Dhakai Alur Dum’.

Whenever i visit Kolkata, I always make sure to have a thali or a dish here. The ambiance is simple with people full most of the time. The menu has a wide range of items. My personal favourite is the prawns. Just love it. Basanti pulao with chicken curry/ kosha is also a must try. Do visit if you love authentic bengali food

Very good food quality.... Service is also outstanding.... Atmosphere is top notch....... Behavior of every staff js cordial..... Management is well maintained..... Washroom is also very clean...

One of the best bengali restaurant in Kolkata. Food taste & quality are great.

Asked for a batter Fish Fry recently , the server served me cold without any hesitation.. Very casual in admitting that . Food quality is good .But they have exorbitantly increased the price of their special item Kochu Chingri, portion reduced..

Had the diamond fish fry, Luchi and Kosha Mangsho. Food is really good. Service is just fine, could be improved. Downstairs seating seems clean but upstairs feels dirty.
