Jimmy’s Kitchen evokes mixed
reactions amongst people. Yet it is still a name to reckon with for authentic
Chinese delicacies. With regards to their décor, it hasn’t undergone any change
and remains much the same. The menu is very commonplace with no new items. Yet
the food is delicious and scrumptious. The service is as usual quick and
efficient; you do not have to wait too long for your food.
Their signature dish, which is the wonderfully prepared cha shao or
roast pork, is still the most sought after dish from this old establishment.
The dish is wonderfully made with the meat mixed in the right amount of spices
and salt. The meat pieces are tender and juicy with the very expecting glossy
and shiny red glaze on the outside. The roast pork is not only soft and
succulent but sweet as well. The chicken preparations are amazing too. At times,
the chicken dishes might prove to be too spicy for those expecting authentic
Chinese fare that is non-spicy. Nevertheless, some of their chicken dishes that
need mentioning in this review are Chilli chicken (dry), Honey chicken, and Chicken
Chowmein. Apparently, their lemon chicken is well prepared and uses the right
amount of lemon pieces though I have not tried it. Similarly, the noodle soup
is still prepared in the same old manner with an adequate amount of vegetables,
meat and noodles. The dish is light and delightfully tasty and enough for a
person’s meal!
The major drawback here is that the food can be quite expensive here,
considering the food quality (certain dishes might prove to be too greasy) and
quantity and a meal can set you back Rs.450 a head or more. Nevertheless, the
food is still considered by many loyalists to be the best and authentic in the
whole of Kolkata (not my sentiments, though it is pretty decent fare).
