Trincas is one such
restaurant in Kolkata that has witnessed the changes in the city in the last
five decades, yet has been able to retain its uniqueness and authenticity. Not
long back, eating at Trincas was a class symbol. The restaurant became even
more popular for iconic singer Usha Uthup, who used to give regular jazz and
pop music performances at Trincas during the 70’s. Time changed and many more
restaurants opened up in Park Street, but even today Trincas is preferred by
foodies who want to eat in style while listening to live music. Trincas became popular for upholding the
so-called pop culture in Kolkata. It is one of the oldest restaurants where
people dined listening to light music or enjoying dance forms like
cabaret. But, these are only added
factors that make Trincas popular. Trincas serves lip-smacking food and that is
the main reason behind their popularity and fame for so many decades.
A whole lot of
items are listed on their menu card and people often get confused while placing
their order. I have been to this restaurant thrice in the last year alone, and
every time I found myself jumping from one item to another until the waiter
helped me to select a few items. Yes, it
is just not possible to taste every item listed on the menu. Nevertheless, I have
had a chance to taste their really delicious chicken pakoras, paneer sheekh
kebab, chicken malai kebab, dragon chicken, chilli prawns, chilli garlic roast
lamb, chilli pork dry, panner
tikka masala, chicken bharta, fish jhalfrezi, chicken pulao, peas pulao,
buttered lachha paratha and chicken tetrazzini during my visits at Trincas and
all of them were respectable.
I really liked
their date pancakes with ice cream and caramel custard, which I had twice after
my sumptuous meal. I think Trincas must
be given credit for serving delectable cocktails of which my favourite is their
Pina Colada. Everytime I have been at Trincas, I have a Pinacolada.
Eating at
Trincas is an expensive affair (a meal for two costs about Rs.1200 + tax). But,
visit this restaurant once and you’ll really love their lip-smacking
preparations – and the music is nice too!
