Bikanervala - Chandigarh

After placing the regional food of Calcutta on the Culinary map of India, Oh! Calcutta made its way to the gourmet city of Chandigarh. The restaurant is located in the same building of Mainland China in Sector 26, Chandigarh. While the different flavours of other regions of India were always present in some form or the other throughout the country, it was the vision of Chef-turned-leading Indian restaurateur Anjan Chatterjee, who strongly believed that the unique flavours of a 300-year-old cuisine needed to be explored. I visited them a few days ago to try out some of their specialities. The best part was the usage of authentic, sourced ingredients from West Bengal. I started off my lunch with their Banana Floret Tikki, Prawn Cutlet and Calcutta mustard paneer tikka. All the items were top notch. My personal pick had to be their Prawn cutlet. The patty was super flavourful and juicy. Next up, for mains, I had their Slow cooked Bhuna mutton, Prawn and coconut malai curry, Kolkata chicken biryani and Mango mustard okra. The mutton was the show stopper of the afternoon. I had never tried such amazing mutton in Chandigarh so far. The spice level was quite moderate and the mutton quality used was spot on. Pair it up with the Luchi or Bengali version of a poori and you will up for a treat certainly. The prawn and coconut malai curry was another glorious dish which had a very nice flavor of the coconut milk and gondhoraj lemon. Highly recommended. The Mango mustard okra was another dish that stood out of the menu. Very interesting taste. To end things on a sweet note, I had their Steamed mango mishti doi and steamed sondesh. My pick had to be their steamed mango mishti doi with chopped mangoes on the top. The tanginess of the doi was evenly cut with the sweetness of the mango. Overall, I would be visiting them over yet again to try out their Mutton and prawn cutlet. Happy eating.

Chinese Cuisine At It's Best !!!!! Visited Mainland China after years galore. However, the experience was as delightful, as ot was on my first rendevous with this Chinese Hub. Relished a galore of dishes which were all flavoured to the Core. A brief on what all I gulped down : 1. Jiangs Chilli Chicken Forget the Jiangs its your typical Chilli Chicken which is indeed full of flavours would suit any taste bud. The right spices blended together to make that perfect Chilli Chicken which you would always Crave For. Order this you wouldn't go wrong with it. 2. Chicken Taipei Crispy chicken served with crunchy veggies with a peculiar taste. It was great. 3. Fish Pepper Garlic The fish tasted quite fresh. Extremely delicious. Liked the 3Ts Texture, Taste Tender. Awesome dish. 4. Singapore Chilli Prawns I have the love for Prawns. Tried this one didn't regret a bit. Super flavours there. Prawns seemed of good quality. Loved them. 5. Chilli Garlic Noodles Medium Spicy. Not much of chillies garlic there as I was expecting it to be. This dish could have been better, but it was still decent enough. The portion size was pretty adequate. The two of us had our fill were still left with loads of food which we had to pack. Overall I must try place to lunch or dine in. Loved it strongly recommended. Regards

Grt place to dine in with family and to enjoy pure Chinese delicacies. Little disappointed as buffet not started yet. Customer care is top notch.

One of my favourite family restaurant whenever we need to taste some Chinese sauces cuisine. Visited quiet a number of times, you can get table bookings from Monday to Friday but on weekends, 1st come 1st basis. They don’t offer table bookings on weekends Brownie with hot chocolate is what I like the most

Ambience is good. Since Cost is high you will only find classy people. A1 sensible family crowd. Authentic chinese. Preparation is great. Drink n Menu options are exhaustive.
