What I like
about Lebanese cuisine is the freshness of the ingredients and the strong aroma
of the herbs and spices that are used for seasoning food. For a long time, I
have been looking for a popular food joint in Kolkata where I could get the
same taste of authentic Lebanese cuisine as I had in a popular Lebanese
restaurant in Turkey. I came across many restaurants serving lip smacking
Chinese, Indian or Continental dishes, but could not find a single restaurant
that solely specialized in Lebanese cuisine. It was only a few days back when I
discovered a cosy, little Lebanese restaurant on Sarat Bose Road. Located just
opposite Deshapriya Park, Royal Lebanese is one
such restaurant in Kolkata where you get to eat lip smacking Lebanese food at
very nominal rates (food for two costs Rs.200 approximately + tax)!
Actually, I was
walking on the road just opposite Deshapriya Park when my eyes suddenly fell on
the restaurant’s signboard. Totally exhausted after work, I decided to pacify
my hungry gut that was already giving me signals that it wanted fooooood! To be very frank I did not like their seating
arrangement - the place is too cramped up and has only a few chairs and tables.
It is not a perfect place to dine with family or group of friends, but I was
alone and overlooked these issues. Once comfortably seated, I flipped the pages
of their menu and finally settled for some Humus Nasseb & Pita Bread (
unique chicken preparation where juicy chicken chunks are served with Humus and
Pita bread), Iranian Kay Kabab
( a delicious dish of marinated chunks of chicken breast , charcoal skewered
and served with Pita bread and sauce), and chicken arbi biryani ( a tasty
preparation of special rice, potato, carrot, 2 pieces of chicken seasoned with
ghee and extra virgin olive oil and served with Irani raita.
I must say that
food was really good and I was reminded of the popular Lebanese restaurant I
ate at in Istanbul while I was holidaying there. The use of olive oil, spices
and herbs were in right proportions to tantalize my taste buds. After a
sumptuous meal, I ordered some bajbouja (a scrumptious almond dessert prepared
with semolina) which was delicious. Lebanese food is neither too spicy nor too
oily, and you will surely like the rawness and freshness of the varied
ingredients used for preparing Lebanese food. Just hit this place once and
you’ll know what I mean.
