Everything was good. Staffs are very friendly.Location is very nice. Very near to Grand Hotel.Drinks price is cheap, not so costly. For two people with drinks will cost you around 800-1000.Food was really good. Chicken was awsome. Please go and try this restaurant.After the covid they have very good hygiene system. They will clean your table in-front of you. So no worries.Recommend 🤘🏻

It was indeed a good experience with a quite lovely ambience . The food quality was nice compared to the other Chinese restaurant...but it may seems like the price is slightly high compared to the amount of food they provide...but it was managable...as for us...but it may differ people to people...as how much they intake..but it was a good experience as this is my 4th time in this restaurant and first time after the lockdown...

My experience was good in this Bar cum Restaurant. Location wise its great for communication. Very near to Esplanade Bus Terminus and 100meters from metro. The bar is just beneath the famous Grand Hotel. They have two types of sitting arrangements. The former is just after the bar entrance and without AC. The later one is in upstairs accommodates only 9 tables but is having AC facility. The waiters are generally seen good and comforting the visitors. The quality and quantity of Dishes are reasonably good, but price is slightly higher on the side. All types of Drinks are served here and costs almost at per with the other bars. Next time if you want to lighten your enjoyment, can visit this old bar in Dharmatala.

Nice ambience, good service... Food is delicious. Beer with Fish finger and Fish manchurian (dry) is a must for anyone.Plus pocket pinch for two is around 1200 (including liquor) so thats kinda cheap.

When you are sure enough where and how to spend the lazy evening.Evening can be well spent with your group of friends or colleagues.One of the well known place in Kolkata, in one of the busiest place (Esplanade).What can be a better choice in this sultry summer than a chilled beer with some spicy and tasty chilli fish. Service was quite fast.It was a big space with ample sitting arrangments with ac and non AC being separated. Food quality is quite good and even the crowd pull was quite good in weekdays.

Follow @kolkata.foodie.dibyajit at Instagram and Instagram for more drooling pics and unbiased reviews.Whenever I go to Calcutta, I make it a point to visit New Cathay. During the days at Kollata, I used to prefer this place more than Olypub or regular bars of Park Street. This place has its own essence which is mostly of the old Calcutta.I like to have beer accompanied by chilli chicken at this place. Finger fish and the fries, accompanied by Tartar sauce is also one of my favourites. From the main course I choose noodles and a chicken dish. They make great chicken stroganoff.The waiters are working there for long and I have few known waiters whom I love. They take care of me and my preferences. Such is the care that remind me atleast for once if I tend to have beers more than 3 or 4.Cheers and love to New Cathay.

Ambience was good!! Staffs were really nice! Food was excellent. Price not too expensive or less. Quality is really good and quantity enough for 2 person of the foods ordered. Visited on 1st Jan still quality and quantity was superb.. Highly recommendable to everyone. They have two sections - Family and Non Family for servicing. They have smoking zone inside the restaurant. Washroom was clean. Near to metro station - Esplanade. Just under Oberoi arcade.

Its one of the old school establishments in the city from the time it was Calcutta. The lower flower serves as a non-AC, smokers zone in the bar, while the smaller top floor serves as an AC restaurant. The food is amazing, specially the Chinese preparations. Strongly recommend the prawn fried rice and chicken 65 or Garlic chicken. Its not the most aesthetic restaurant in town but still its extremely well maintained.

Traditional Kolkata style bar,Next to OberoiI visited this place on a rainy day, food quantity and quality is nice, ambiance is old say around 20-30 years old bar type.If you dont give importance to ambiance much then I would recommend this place.I sat around an hour and had chilly chicken and Budweiser. My bill amount was 650 approx.Have seen mostly college couples visiting this bar during the time I was there.

Service is awesome like we ordered 2 beer both were chilled. One beer get over but 2nd beer became normal and before we ask to change the beer waiter came from himself to serve and come to know that 2nd beer become normal he changed the beer from himself.Ambience is very good but little different than other restaurants like no AC in ground floor but have normal ceiling fan to keep the inside atmosphere of bar normal, 2 televisions inside both in opposite direction not to get bore and enjoy the time.Actually, it is old structure but well maintained.
