anand @central avenue

Anand @ central avenue ...i visited the place after few months ... it was one of my favourite place always ....

ordered  few items ... the quality of food is so oily and the standard has gone down  ...




the place is dirty and top it all they are charging for extra chutney and sambhar and  a  unique menu card where you get menu items in Rs 69.10  like this ..overall i suggest avoid anand...

Moyras ( sweet makers ) from Bengal

I understand few people know about the traditional  village moyras (halwai, sweet makers ) of Bengal they can be seen in village melas  only seen in calcutta during the pujas .
this people whom i met at northern park in calcutta they come from Diamond Harbour ....
they sell the mithais in kgs and their items are quite different from what is sold in the mithai stores of calcutta

TTBT ( the tea bush table) a new tea room in Calcutta

TTBT a new tea room has opened its doors recently opp laxminarayan mandir off sarat bose road , the shop is not visible from sarat bose rd , you have to get inside the gully to find it .
i went their on 20/9/2012 in the nite time , the ambience of the pace looks good ,


 the menu card is full of tea items and food , we treid the cardamom and the ginger lemon





pocket  pinch was @rs 100 plus per person , the ginger lemon tea was good , cardamom tasted a bit benadryl , either people have to devlop the taste , some service things are a issue  strainers should be give separately for each variety of tea and the menu card should mention   that its a cost of a pot not of a cup ..clarity should be there ......
rest the service was okay ...if all goes well it should do well ....

frozen yoghurts parlours springs up in calcutta

of late frozen yoghurts parlour has started in calcutta the first being Yoforia on loudon street near bellevue
its not an ice cream its a probiotic frozen yoghurts ...its something new  thing for the calcuttan people .. they sell ice cream by weight ..yoforia charges .70 paise per gram , yogo charges .65 per gramme., you take your own flavour directly from the vending machine and add fruits , other items on it they will weigh it and you will be bliied , average cut is about Rs 100/ per person .

                                            yogo on new alipore opp dominos 




                                  yoforia on loudon street 





my pick yogo a shade better , but it would take time to teach people in calcutta about a new concept
