thechickenin thechickendakbanglow was stale.

very authentic and delicious bengali food. the restaurant also tries it's best to honour customer requests as far as possible. it's a great place for all types of bengali food like vegetables fishchickenetc.

rottenchickenlooks stinky one seems ir was cooked long back

yesterday me and my wife visited but as per the hype it was no at all satisfactory. steam rice felt like very low quality rice is being used. daal with steamed peas was without salt. mustard jolsha was ok but we orderedchickendaakbunglow which was recommended but very sorry to say what we received was not a daakbunglow and it was more a dry chicken. and more to add same was tasteless and without salt so we asked again to get it corrected.

will never visit at least in guwahati.

and to the original patent owners of kasturi if it is connected do advice them to get good cooks from kolkata or anywhere else to have a proper knowledge of bengali cuisine dishes.

had orderchickendakbunglow and dhoka r dalna. both were under cooked and chicke was smelling. it was just boiled chicked semi cooked in bit of onion. never will order again from this restaurant. total waste of money.

we orderedchickendhakai bhuna and steamed prawn in kochu pata through food delivery. service was quick and food was quite good.the prawn dish was very unique and delicious.thechickendish was delicious as well and i found the price quite reasonable too.

the place is good, the ambience, the environment, the staff. coming to the food it was awesome, the prawns and the tomato bhetki were really good but what spoiled the entire experience for me was thechickenrezala because they served us a stale dish. yes stale you heard it right. it was tasting all sour and when i enquired they said it has gone bad. i could have fallen seriously ill if i would have eaten that. they chef, kitchen staff should be careful about all this. would i recommend this place. yes actually just enquire about anything you find tasting funny or different.

best bengali (dhakai) food in guwahati. unlike other bengali restaurants, we didn't see any floating oil on the dishes. the kochu pateyr chingri is their signature dish and truly it maintains its mark here too. their dhaniachickenis good. bhappa hilsa (eelish) is truly wonderful.

i've been to kasturi's kolkata restaurant more times than i can count. i love it so much and it has kept its standards high in terms of food. this was the second time i went to the guwahati branch. the same standards have been maintained here too.

i ordered the following:

1. basanti pulao- its ghee-laden and aromatic, butthe second time i ate this in the guwahati branch, the balance of sweet and salty was missing. flavorful, nonetheless.

2. dhokar dalna- with the earthy flavor of asafoetida, this bengali version of gatte ki sabzi is great veg. side dish.

3. kochu patay chingri bhapa- this is a must-eat at kasturi and i order it every single time. it's prawn steamed in arum leaves with mustard paste. delectable.

3. pabdar begun bori jhol- this light pabda fish curry with brinjal was quite tasty.

4. chitol mache muithha- this is a rich gravy of chital fish cakes. a quintessentially bangal (east bengali) dish and kasturi makes it well. fish cakes do not have filler.

5. mourala macher chorchori- another tasty mustard-based, dry curry of small mourala fishes.

6.chickendak bungalow- thick, spicy and yogurt-basedchickengravy. it tastes good but traditionally dak bungalow is served with a sliced boiled egg. missed that.

7. mutton kosha- the very common homecooking mutton dish in bengal- this is a dark, rich gravy of mutton. every bit as good as my mom's! though mutton could have been a bit more tender. the portion of mutton was also quite small.

overall, it is a good experience to eat authentic bengali food in assam and i personally thank kasturi for its unwavering standards.

well a nice place to visit for authentic bengali cuisine. went there for a family celebration and found out that most of the recommended dishes like kochu pata chingri and bhetki bhappa were quite remarkable, but some other dishes like prawn malai curry and dhakai bhunachickenfailed to impress and were way off the mark. so overall i recommend the place if u are an avid fan of bengali fish dishes. a special mention to the nolen gurer ice-cream, that was quite a treat.

because when you are born bong, you just cannot escape the delicious offerings even if it served in home everyday... saturday afternoon at kasturi to try the dhakai food. trust me or not, it was gastronomical delight. the menu looks quite good with variations in fish andchickendishes. but, since, i turned off my experimental mode, i decided to order simple food, because hey, i was hungry. sonar moong dal with peas (yellow dal with peas)and jhuri aloo(potato crispy fry) bhaja to begin with. there it was, nothing less than just mouth watering. next up, paneer rosha (cottage cheese in gravy) the taste was good, though i felt the size of paneer was too small. since i'm on vacation, i ditched my saturday and ordered dhone murgi (coriander chicken). now, this was certainly going to be my favourite here, i'm definitely going to order it again next time. fish was tried by mom so no comment on that. the only thing told by her was that it was undercooked, seasoning was not proper. i ended up the course with kheer doi (sweetened curd) and gulab jamun. for few seconds, i was hypnotised by the curd. it was amazing. okay, that was the food part. dig in and try the bengali cuisine here.... its worth trying and yeah will not make a hole in your pocket for like 101% sure. the ambience was good.... its spacious and i like the view from where i sat. you get a glimpse of the city. the service is definitely gets a thumbs up but the only thing that made me sad was music. it was horrible with falguni phatak's songs, replace with nice hindi old songs or say rabindra sangeet for that matter. kasturi gets 3.5 from my side, it could have been a 4 if and only if falguni had not ruined it! book your sunday table here and relish the bong fiesta.

it was such a delight to visit this place for the first time with my family... location is perfect for a family restaurant with a calm interior amidst busy exteriors... parking is in the basement. the interior designing is very bright and sparkling... ambience is perfect...
we ordered steamed rice, dhakai dal fry, mutton do pyaza,chickendaak bunglow,chickensheel-e-bata, hilsha bhapa, prawn curry and gulab jamun...
each and every dish was cooked to near perfection which left our taste buds wanting for more... such was the delight that we even fixed our next visit to this place... a big yes for those who are still waiting to be served by this restaurant!!!

very nice place for bengali cuisine. recommended try the fish items, their super delicious dal. avoid thechickendishes, not needed really coz the fish and also dal will be a wholesome and satisfactory meal

first of all it is situated in a place which has quite a few other restaurants serving bengali cuisine. but after trying their food it should be safe to say that they outshine the others. the ambience is great. the restaurant itself is very spacious and accommodating. service was also good. coming to the food, we tried their signature kochu pata chingri bhapa, chitol muthia and achickendish with a dal fry , papad and rice. it has to be mentioned that each dish was scrumptious and wonderfully cooked. the chingri bhapa is a must try. overall a great place to spend time with family or friends. their food will definitely make you crave for more.

at the outset was very disappointed to find that dhakai murg pulao is unavailable. no bangladeshi meal is complete without that. the kochupata chingri bhapa was average with the spice punch missing. we had also orderedchickensheele bata which was the only saving grace and we ended up ordering one more plate. thechickenbhuna too was passable. however the worse thing about kasturi was the lethargic waiters who took atleast 15 mins just to get us finger bowls. they seemed generally disinterested in serving and answering any queries which was a major turn off.
