i had heard good things about hatari and wanted to try it out but it being so far in to the south kolkata, i never had the chance. i was elated to finally see the restaurant opening up a branch in sodepur. sodepur has now become a hotshot in terms of new restaurants opening in the area.
my first impression about the interiors of the restaurant was that it was good. not too fancy like its chowman brother nor too shabby.
so we were celebrating the marriage anniversary of my father and my mother in law.the waiters were kind enough to get our cake ready. we had a good time and they also repacked it. it was my first cake cutting event at a restaurant.
we ordered two types of rice noodles(meifoon) schezuan egg andchickenrice noodles and egg prawn andchickenrice noodles. in gravy we ordered fish in hot garlic sauce(8pcs) and duck in red wine sauce(6pcs). the prices were 300,290,350 and 380 respectively.
they did take about 20 minutes to get the food ready which we did not mind because of the good ambience.
they did mess up 1 item of our order by bringing normal noodles instead of rice noodles and they obliged by changing it.
i simply loved all the items. the quantity was more than enough. the fish pieces were bigger than those of competing restaurants. i loved the normal eggchickenand prawn rice noodles more than the schezuan one. the duck item was quite good. i have tasted duck before and that had been bony. i was lucky to have had 3 juicy and fleshy pieces this time and was avoided by my partner and my mil and fil.
i would like to point out some cons. the waiter who served us our food was too careless and dropped the gravy here and there. the food was tastier in momo i am than over here. for example the fish items makes you go wow in momo i am and also the tangra restaurants but here it was okayish. we could not guess which fish it was in hatari. i would stick tochickenthe next time
this place also serves squid ,lamb and pork.
i am definitely coning back over here for its greater quantity than its peers, which makes it value for money.
