"Kookie Jar Café – Not Worth The Money"


Rating: 1 out of 5

Kookie jar Café located at a fabulous location in Kolkata at Rawdon Street is one of the most visited café of the city. The décor of this café is nice and relaxed. It has an elegant seating arrangement, with warm focused lighting with sunlight gliding in – so far so good.

The food served is average but the service is very poor. They have ill trained, haughty and uncooperative staff. They delay a lot in getting orders served – and I mean a lot! The take away section of the Kookie Jar café is also quite busy and is pretty slow in taking orders. Interestingly, they serve many of the same dishes ready to eat on the ground floor as above, but the dishes took over an hour to be served when we went there on the third day after it had just opened the restaurant above!

The top floor of the café costs nearly 40% more and many things which were available downstairs are not available upstairs. There is a huge price difference in the menu of the top floor of the same café which is very rare and creepy.

Coming to the food, the food is decent but did not fulfill the expectations I had from Kookie Jar café. It’s a far cry from their other offering Mangio. The dessert served is pretty good but the continental, thai and Italian dishes served are disappointing. The roast chicken in their Onion Focaccia was moderate whereas their chicken stroganoff was downright depressing and distasteful. It did not taste anything like a Strognoff should. The pot pie is extremely unsatisfying and will not live up to your expectations. The side orders like cheese garlic bread and French fries are extremely overpriced. The mango smoothie is good but the Darjeeling tea served was pathetic with a Tata Tea Gold teabag dipped in it.

If you are a diehard Kookie Jar fan and you visit kookie jar café then you will be definitely disappointed with this place. The lack of service in such a high end café will disappoint you and the place also lacks warmth. The food leaves you with quite a lot to desire and the menu is excellent for burning a hole in your pocket. Give it a thought before visiting this place as visiting Kookie Jar’s Loudon outlet for desserts and bakes is a better and more pocket friendly option than visiting Kookie Jar Café.

KJ café is average but not worth the money, though it is located in an awesome place of Kolkata which will ensure that it does well anyway.
