Grill by the Pool is what I experienced yesterday at Taj Bengal, Kolkata! A fantabulous property with a vibrant ambiance, decor & vibe coupled with a classy poolside seating area, a live grill counter and soothing music is what this royalty is all about!Delicious grilled delicacies paired with wine says it all about the Grill by the Pool! Be it a date, a family dinner or a hangout destination with buddies, this place is where you should be this winters!Tried some of Chefs specially curated dishes which turned out to be extremely soulful! Loved everything about the place : the excellent hospitality, wonderful feel of the place along with the poolside charm followed by the mesmerizing food & beverages!Loved it, completely! Highly Recommended.

Farm fresh chicken is awesome. Their buffet have a wonderful collection of sprouts, salads, cheese as well as main courses. If you are fond of chocolate u must try their MudPie. Courtesies staffs are always there to help.

Great ambience is the first impression about this place. Live music is good and the buffet spread is good and lip smacking. The staff is polite and prompt. Sunday’s they serve only buffet no Alacart orders are taken. The place has lived by its rating of 4.5 stars. They do have a magician who occasionally visits the tables and entertains you while you wait for the food to arrive. Overall a satisfactory experience .

Cal 27 is the third avataar of the All day dining of Taj Bengal. Its done beautifully and influences of a North Calcutta house with touches of European architecture just make it so refreshing and elegant. It has windows above on all sides which resembles as if the centre is an Aangan or the central courtyard of the house.The breakfast buffet is great with all the regular offerings of Fruits, juices, shakes, healthy foods, Breads, Eggs, Bengali breakfast like Loochi and Aloo. Cold cuts and cheeses are great too.Do try their special Egg white fluffy omelette, its one if a kind. We also ordered in room dining which again comes from the same kitchen and lived their Kebabs and the Pizza at the same time. Service is friendly but gets a bit busy during breakfast which is obvious.

Awesome food!!good ambience!!

Great place right in the middle of the city. Perfect ambience for a winter dinner. Very exclusive and brilliant food.

Perfect ambience for a dinner. The dimly lit effect of trees by the blue water makes it feel so serene, the warmth of Taj hospitality cant keep you asking for more. The options of grills rock totally if you choose the right marinade and the sauce that suites your taste buds. Have indulged in Thai curries but the Penang curry here was totally out of the world and richly added with vegetables. You might find it a little sweeter than Thai curries but to me it was just so perfect.What more to say! You have to go there once atleast to pamper your taste buds luxuriously.

The place looks pretty and you can see it as soon as you enter Taj Bengal.We had ordered for penne arrabiatta it was really good. The pizzas were good too ☺We ordered for tiramisu in dessert and it was perfect.The breakfast buffet that they have in the morning is really good with lots of variety as in any 5 star buffet, and they also served hot cutting chai,the way they get it in wire stand gives you the same feeling of a cutting chai 🙂

Wonderful ambiance. Excellent food. We usually go to Sonargaon, this time we tried Cal-27. Cozy and not too crowded. Nevertheless the same elegant service and great food. Special thanks to Param, she made our lunch so much enjoyable with her suggestions. Keep up the great work Param. We will definitely be back.

Awesome place.

My all time favourite restaurant to hang out and chill on a sat night with my hubby and friends. We can eat at our own speed, there is no rush and they offer coffee or tea after the meal on request. The buffet spread is good and value wise also reasonable. So far this is the only place (in terms of 5 star hotel) that offers juice in the buffet. They have good live counters for pastas and pizza included in the buffet which is great for kids. We dont have to order extra meal for them. Kinda saves money too :) Service is also great. It has improved greatly in recent years. I have been visiting for the last 10+ yrs. For all sweet tooth people, dessert should not be missed and they have icecreams too.

Food is really good. Ambience will give you vintage feel. All over really nice experience

Experience was excellent. A good array of food stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed. I think everyone should visit this place. There was something for everyone. Besides that I got to drink aloe Vera and amla juices. Made me feel heavenly

One of the best buffet spreads I have had the opportunity to eat. Incredible variety and fresh food. The ambience is super and pool which is situated adjacent adds to the charm. Highly recommended.

Lovely

Went there to celebrate a birthday. Ordered a-la-carte. Ended up having that as well as half the buffet (salads & soups), which was on the house, courtesy the wonderful staff. Had an amazing and unforgettable experience. Wouldnt mind visiting again!

This place is an amazing restaurant. Wide choice of menu, with brilliant people working. This has been my favourite place since its opening.

Went for a Sunday buffet dinner. Everything was perfect, one tandoori chicken or grilled chicken may be added. Price is at per with high end five star hotel. Staff is very good and hospitality was wonderful.

Its a great and unforgettable experience...

I had celebrated my anniversary there. It is a fantastic experience. Nothing to say for the foods from the live counters. They arranged for flower bookey and a special cake.Hospitality is 5 out of 5.

A 24 hour coffee shop of the legendary Taj Bengal, previously called The Hub now Cal 27 is one of the best places in Kolkata to drop down and have lip smacking food and drinks. Ranging from North Indian to Italian you get all cuisine, However the menu is very limited. They do have buffets too.No need to mention about service and behavior of staffs after all its by The Taj group.

Such a wonderful experience, food was very nice and great service.

We have been having our anniversary dinner for the past two years now (December) and the experience is awesome, especially the ambiance by the pool that is offered. The food is good, and it wont harm at all if there are more menus, especially non-vegetarian ones, to choose from. The service was splendid - Kabir was serving us this year and he was very hospitable and alert in providing his service.

Awesome !

An extremely well suited and posh restaurant that serves delicious fresh food. Staff are very helpful and ambience is world class.

Quite beautiful environment and theyre very well behaved . Will visit again and again

Splendid decor and heart touching ambiance.. liked the place.. It’s TAJ.. yaar

Food was good. Dinner and Beakfast is lavish. But services were slow.

I dont find any reason... Its absolutely amazing n awesome to me

Worst experience ever.. They have least options.. I came here to celebrate my parents anniversary and took buffet. Astonishingly they served only veg tikki and fish in starter as they dont have any chiken Or paneer in menu.. Pizza is more like tandoori roti with a very few chiken with no cheese.. I am writing this review just after 15 minutes I started eating.. Dont have any reason to eat anymore.. They just ruined the day

One of my favourites in Kolkata.Great food, customised to your taste buds. But, that is expected at a 5 star hotel.

Awesome experience with the live flute being played

Ambiance was gud but food was pethetic.

Before coffee shop Hub is much better than this

Desert was nice but please add starters more as well

Slow service but good food. Their Mr Sidhu is outstanding in hospitality

Liked the ambience very much.... So peaceful.. had snacks and coffee.. nice place..

Visited this place yesterday (7/619) to catch a dinner late night to celebrate brothers anniversary. As usual the food was way above excellence but first time ever we were served uncooked aloo in aloodum. First time ever in Taj!! Although we got a swift replacement of the dish the moment we brought that into the notice of the server yet this has never happened before. The gulaab jamun was probably stale/ undercooked/had different fillings and tasted sour. We had also ordered daal makhani, paneer labaabdaar, breads etc which to my expectations were excellent. I dont know what went wrong yesterday! First time ever taj had a dish that was sent back from our table. Gulaab jamun was left untouched..Eaten only to find out that something was wrong! A little disappointing from our lovable TAJ.

A restaurant with a good mid night menu!!

I have had many meals here, the food selection and service specifically is excellent. At Taj standards

Great ambience and classy dishes. Staffs are utterly courteous.

Taj group should outsource their food service. Terrible food but great hospitality. Green dye and no pine nuts in pesto. Too much flower in Alfredo.

One of the best coffee shop ❤️

Perfect plce fr hangout wth family dinner

Ofcourse the best

Cost is too high. The variety wasnt there. 2400 per person

I love the pizza n mudpie here !
