AURA is the restaurant which has a lavish ambience and serves Indian, continental & Oriental cuisines. The central air conditioning provides moderate temperature; the interiors are royally decorated with perfect lighting, plush sofas, comfy chairs, marble tables and expensive cutlery. Waiters are well-dressed & friendly. The dinner buffet is really excellent especially the veg & chicken kebabs and Vetki Fish fries. There is also biriyani, mutton and chowmein apart from various kinds of salads. The desserts are yummy. The per head cost is Rs. 700 (including taxes) on a weekend, however its lesser on weekdays. The no. of items in the buffet should be increased if they want to compete with other star hotels, though I wouldn’t mind if the price becomes a bit higher. More restaurants should also be opened alongside. Certainly check out their website for more info: http://www.thesonnet.com/

Mocambo- Mirza Ghalib St. (Free School St.)

Mirza Ghalib Street, previously known as Free School Street, is a street that joins S. N. Banerjee Road with Park Street in Central Kolkata. This area is famous for cheap hotels and eateries. Many foreign visitors reside in these cheap yet reliable hotels. The used book and record shops sport an eclectic collection due to trade with generations of budget travelers the world over. 

Mocambo opened its doors in 1956, a European oasis of glamour and jazz on Park Street, Calcutta’s famous cabaret row. It is an old but classy restaurant which still has an odd jumble of Europeanisms: a mural of faux Degas ballerinas, red vinyl banquettes, red silk lampshades hanging like upside-down tulips. Fish à la Moutarde is grilled beckty, a Bay of Bengal delicacy, drenched in a spicy mustard sauce, whose virtues a Bengali can croon about. Angels on Horseback is chicken wrapped in bacon. Fish à la Diana is indulgence itself: beckty, stuffed with prawn and cooked in cream. I would recommend everyone to try the Pepper Devilled crab & Stuffed tandoori chicken as starter and Chicken Paparika in the main course. Among soups the cream of Chicken Soup is just excellent. Among desserts don’t forget to try the Ice cream with hot chocolate sauce. However be prepared to wait for a long time before you get a place to sit though, especially on weekday evenings! Though the live music stopped 20 years ago, Mocambo boasts of a charm which none of the other restaurants in that area can parallel, this is a place where the cuisine Steaks are simply over-whelming.
