Mehak-e-Punjab (Axis Mall - Rajarhat)

Mehak-e-Punjab entrance

After a long spell of shopping at the Axis Mall of Rajarhat, when your feet are tired and you are hungry, go to Mehak-e-Punjab beside the food court. This multi-cuisine restaurant is very spacious and has two separate siting areas. One for the non alcohol consuming crowd and another for those who wants to have alcoholic beverages along with the food.

The bar cum restaurant section has much more comfortable sitting arrangement compared to the normal restaurant section. The decor is soothing with couches and chairs to sit upon.

City Centre 2 (Rajarhat) - Blue Nile

City Centre 2, New Town is a tempting medley of shopping, dining, fun and entertainment with its array of shops, superb restaurants, hotel and movie theatres…a veritable paradise for the fun loving family. There are many restaurants like Blue Nile, Camelia Restaurant, Gamma Lounge, Durbari, Afraa & others. I went to Blue Nile recently but will surely try out the others soon.

Though from the name “Blue Nile”, you may think that Egyptian food is served here, but it is not so. It is only because of the fact that the interior of this place has an Egyptian theme with extensive paintings of Pharaoh & their culture, Gods & Goddesses, obelisks, hieroglyphics, pyramids, slaves & workers doing farming or other appointed tasks and ancient related things of Egyptian civilization. Even the sofas and chairs have some form of Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra or The Sphinx. There is a bar on the far side with a large Egyptian painting in the front and wine & scotch bottles on either side as opposed to normal kinds of bars. The lighting is perfect giving the effects of a museum sort of place. There are continental, Chinese, Indian dishes present in the menu which again has Egyptian drawings in the background. The food is really good here especially the continental dishes like Fish Steak, Mutton Saslik, Princess Chicken which all comes with a choice of pasta or peas rice, boiled vegetables & French fries. The starters like Salt & pepper American corn, Murgh Kasturi kabab, mutton sliced are equally scrumptious. The desserts are normal and have a few options from ice-cream, caramel custard and others. The service is quite fast & quantity of a starter or side dish of main course can serve 4 persons. The price for 2 persons is a maximum of Rs. 850- 900 including taxes without any hard drinks. This place maybe new and located at a Mall that is far away from main Kolkata region, but it’s a place worth visiting, because the food over here is cooked in a different technique apart from other places and can really stun anyone who visits here for the first time. So I would definitely ask you to check it out if you ever pass through VIP Road or Rajarhat.
