Souk - Kolkata

Well, if you often visit the Taj and are an ardent Middle East cuisine lover, you shouldn’t miss this at any cost! As the name goes, every dish out here reminds of an authentic Arab marketplace the ingredients, flavours and smells! Even the decor punches a right blend of luxury and Azeri which sets the mood for a perfect meal. Personal favourites include Humus Beiruty, Cigara Boregi and Eish Baladi (the perfect kind of pita that I’ve ever had) paired with Samak Bil Feta, which I feel has certain Bong Greco flavours to it (yes, that Bhekti infused with creamy sauce). Among desserts, Chocolate Cigara is the perhaps a good way to infer with a nutty flavour that leaves you feeling satisfied. Already craving for some great Lebanese? Souk’s calling!

Experience report Souk Visit 23/Dez/ ANNEX We have taken many photos, but none of the food itself... We were now in line with Shakti Singh for a month and had to change the booking time twice, which he efficiently obliges. Our host for the evening was Bratin and the understanding of our preferences served us a “Black Tower Riesling” Wine We had ordered ...

SCOPE Helloumi, Felafel and Spinach Fatayer type of filled spinach cheese pizza) and Dijaj Moroccaine fried chicken popcorn well seasoned, but rather hard as the pieces were small) as starters. The Pita was very thin and could have been a little authentic.... WATER OPEN COURT COURT Samak salalaha chargrilled bhetki) absolutely fabulous; Dijaj Harra kebab chargrilled chicken with harissa sauce) soft and slightly hot kebab meshwi grilled chopped lamb) for the main course. DELICIOUS DESSERTS We were full and tired, but could not leave the Baklava. Bratin suggested that we order her house speciality rose pet ice cream, which was very good. It was a birthday party and they served a damp fudgy chocolate cake Very happy, very rich and it was a great experience.

Food and wine was great, but the fabric behavior was exceptionally good and something to remember
