kasturi restaurant

one of the best bengali cuisinerestaurantin guwahati with pocket friendly price. a good place for lunch and dinner along with friends and families.

just a few months back, i had given 5 star rating, but this time, 2 star. quality consistency is lacking, therestaurantis serving stale food.. it is consistency in quality which separates mediocre restaurants from top quality restaurant, and i am sorry to say, kasturi is just another mediocre restaurant..

very authentic and delicious bengali food. therestaurantalso 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 fish chicken etc.

the food was quite spicy... especially the dal was too hot. it was really unexpected because earlier when we visited therestaurantthe food was quite good. we were really disappointed this time. thank you.

we went for a nice sunday lunch today as a family. we had a wonderful time with our server being one of the best. he knew what to suggest and how much. it is my first visit to arestaurantin guwahati after 2.5 years and i was very pleased. the bill was approx. 3500 for four adults, quite reasonable. definitely coming back again.

tried thisrestauranton my trip to north-east. amidst all the items we ordered, kochu pata diye chingri bhaapa was outstanding. i don't eat prawns as such. but this speciality of the brand left me crave for more. service is good and staff are friendly, they help us choose the dishes for us. prices are on higher side , but it's worth a try.

it was good. i had prawns malai curry in some coconut it was served and steamed fish. both were good. a bit difficult to locate therestaurantbut its on the road

an extremely outstanding and fantastically authentic bengali cuisinerestaurantin guwahati - the best i have come here so far.

for starters i had ordered the ilish bhapa, which was mind blowing good and aloo bhaja which was amazing too. for the main course, i ordered mutton kosha mangsho and luchi, both of which were fabulous. in the dessert, i had my favorite, mishti doi which was again out of this world.

despite this, the reason that i gave 4 out of 5 ratings is due to the attitude of the waiters which was cold, callous and turning of. the management should take better steps to match the quality of the food here with that of their hospitality, which is an eesential component of the culinary industry as well.

food served was very bad quality. 2 days old food served.please avoid thisrestaurantif you want to stay healthy.
therestaurantstaff didn't even bother to apologize.
disgusting!!

this is part of the famous kasturi chain ofrestaurantof kolkata. having been to their kolkata outlet , the food here was a little below par but none the less good. the service was very nice and the waiters helped out with the order. some items were not available ( much to my disappointment). being a bengali it is very difficult to find a place which serves bengal food and which can satisfy the bengali foodie in you. this place though was almost there to the point of satisfaction.

the only reason kasturi gets a 5 from me is "kochu chingri" and motorshuti diye dal. no one makes it better. if looking for a wider spread there are better bengalirestaurantoptions. when in kasturi order a veg thali and kochu chingri. pure tripti :d

i've been to kasturi's kolkatarestaurantmore 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. chicken dak bungalow- thick, spicy and yogurt-based chicken gravy. 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.

the food is too over priced...that's the only part in therestaurantwhich we did not like much. everything else do motivates you to come back again. we ordered lotha sutki,mochha ghonto,steamed rice,roti,steamed prawn in kochu pata. the menu really stands for what therestaurantis marketed for so as a bengali...it gave my taste buds a real rush but the price compels you to think twice.

it was such a delight to visit this place for the first time with my family... location is perfect for a familyrestaurantwith 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, chicken daak bunglow, chicken sheel-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!!!
