I remember
eating at The Dhaba some 7 years back and, at that time I truly enjoyed their
succulent north Indian dishes and liked their cool and cozy ambience. In fact,
I remember being greeted by a host of friendly waiters who promptly responded
to our needs and requirements. However, after my recent visit to this
restaurant, I’m really disappointed. It is no longer the old Dhaba atBallygunge Phari. Their standard has fallen drastically. The Dhaba was popular
for making some lip smacking tandoori and kebabs. People used to throng here
just to taste their delicious and juicy tandoori chicken, tangri kebab or boti
kebab. But, now it seems that things have changed a lot in the last few years.
Just about a
month back I went to dine at The Dhaba with my friend and had a shocking
experience. I cast a glance around and was taken aback to see how unclean the
place was. The tables were not properly cleaned; the waiters did not care to
wipe the plates before laying the plates, bowls and spoons on the tables. It
seemed that the waiters hardly had time for the customers. We had to call them
twice and only then one waiter had time to take our orders. Though we didn’t
like the ambience and service of the staff, we, at least expected to eat
delicious food. But, The Dhaba failed to
live up to our expectations.
We had ordered
chicken tandoori, chicken reshmi kebab, chicken butter masala, butter Nan,
chicken biryani, mixed raita and kesar kulfi. I could not figure out whether
our chicken tandoori was actually cooked in a tandoor or burnt in a tandoor.
The over-cooked chicken tandoori tasted bitter. The chicken kebabs were tough
and tasteless. And what shall I say about the chicken butter masala! I had a
feeling that the chicken pieces were floating in a pool of oil and spices. The Nan
was too tough (for a moment I thought of using both my hands to tear it into
small pieces) and the biryani was unpalatable to our taste buds. I was actually
shocked to see how their standard has fallen. Even a few years back, The Dhaba
was one of the most popular restaurants in Kolkata and an ideal place for all
foodies. But now, people avoid eating here.
If you do not
want to spoil your appetite, then avoid eating at The Dhaba.
