Sher-e-Bengal is a restaurant situated at 200/2B, Rash
Behari Avenue, Kolkata. It includes North Indian and Chinese cuisines in its
menu chart. It is a dining hub of Bedouin group. It is one of the famous and
old dining houses in the major shopping area of South Kolkata, well known as
Gariahat.
I have been in this restaurant many times because this is a
place where an array of eateries is available at reasonable rate. You can make
your choices from Chinese,
North Indian and Bengali dishes. The restaurant is itself spacious but the
arrangement of dining tables and chairs has made the both the dining halls on
first and second floor, very clumsy.
I visited the restaurant recently with my family on a Sunday
evening after a lot of shopping for upcoming Durga Puja. When we entered the
dining hall, we found many other families like us, enjoying or placing orders
for their dinners after a lot of shopping. One of the staff guided us to a
table for four.
Once we were comfortable, the same person came and asked for
the order to be placed. After a little discussion among ourselves, we placed
our order. As we knew that Chinese is our only option here, for starters we
ordered Dry Chilli Chicken for three of us (my father, brother and me) and for
my mother, we ordered Crispy Babycorn and Mushroom. For the main course, we
ordered Chicken Chowmein, Chicken Fried Rice and Veg Chowmein along with Salsa
Chicken and Chilli Fish. The food was good as usual.
Sher-e-Bengal’s
Chinese is good and can be rated as mediocre but after tasting North Indian
once or twice here, I came to a point that this is simply not their cup of tea.
I am a regular diner at popular North Indian houses like Zeeshan and Arsalan
and after tasting at those places, you will not feel like having North Indian
at this restaurant.
Moreover, the service here is also not up-to-dated. Although
there are a number of waiters, often I have seen that after giving a number of
calls to the waiter, they finally respond. The waiters are also not well
trained. Once, it also happened to me that while dine-in I placed an order for
take-away and they served that item on the table.
To be frank, this is not a perfect dining hub if you want to
enjoy a lip smacking and luxurious dining experience. But within pocket friendly budget, you can
surely enjoy average quality of service and food here.
