Little Kolkata is the best Bengali cuisine restaurant in London. They have a very innovative fusion bengali menu here. Must go and must try out thei fusion menu. -all food is awesome! Too good.
Forget about Dishoom and the stupid long lines - food there is good but not worth the wait. Instead, come over to Little Kolkata. The first thing you'll notice is how Scandinavian-esque hip the decor looks. And once you start digging in, where half the menu is very vegetarian-friendly, you'll widen your eyes with each small dish and go "wow this place is really good!"
Food is obviously cooked with very good technique and finesse, and almost all dishes are very well-balanced. I thoroughly enjoyed the food - seriously. They are heavy dishes, so don't be fooled by the small-looking portions.
The only two things I will say are: the restaurant is still very new and therefore the service staff are still finding their feet. Service was, while endearing in intention, mostly quite clumsy and intrusive to the dining experience.
The other is the decor. It's very hip, but kind of generic still...lacking some sort of punchy character.
We ordered 3 starters as we couldn’t decide: Fish roe, Chops and Doi chaat
Mains was the goat and prawn curry with pilau and steamed rice
Dessert we ordered falooda and brownies. (We also ordered masala tea And guava mocktail)
Overall the food was authentic but average but the dishes that stood out for was the doi chaat, prawn curry and falooda. We’re more critical as Bengali cuisine is what we grew up eating.
The 5 stars was for their service. We needed to catch a theatre show and our food came out super fast. The owner was friendly and warm. We would go back to try the rest of the menu especially with our 10% off.
