Saptapadi- the bengali restaurant specializing on fusion bengali cuisine

Ilish chilly toast- the name itself was enough to blow our mind off… But, when it arrived, it was basically slices of toast with ilish paste on top with cheese. And so, the journey started with our venture in Saptapadi Restaurant – thanks to Zomato … The spread was arranged for selected Calcutta Foodies Club members (chosen by Zomato based on the zomato user ranking) and it was basically a sneak peek in their upcoming menu. Great food, cute place and a jovial and helpful Ranjan da… Though most of the members met for the first time (in the real world), it seemed like they’re long lost brothers and brother’s sisters from the kumbh mela…

Coming back to food, the lichu-lanka sherbet was good, but was more for the weak hearted and IMHO probably needed a bit more punch. Mutton croquet was fine- in fact one of the best items on the menu card…. As the owner told us, boiled thor was mixed with mutton keema to give the needed crunch. I love luchi- dal and no complaint of that part. The last item was Ilish Darne with prawn paella. Though a bit on the dry side,paella was pretty good, but Ilish was the ok-ish type. The gandharaj caramel custard was fine and next time once I go, this will be on my list.

Overall, some new dishes, great hospitality and pretty impressive decor. Definitely recommended…

Bon apetite !!!
