Xing - Saltlake

Xing is a small multi-cuisine eatery having Chinese & North Indian dishes in its menu, located on BE Block (Kwality Bus stop). It is a budget restaurant having two levels, each with 6-7 tables. The ceiling is low; there are ordinary cushioned steel chairs, small square tables and economical plates & crockery. Toilet is clean & service is good. Weekend evenings & during festival seasons, it remains crowded, whereas on regular weekdays, hardly 3 or 4 groups come. There is no problem in parking the car. Among Chinese dishes, I would suggest you to try out Konjee Chicken as starter (it is crispy & spicy), special Xing Fried Rice with chicken Latmeikai (sweet side-dish) in main course or mutton polao among Indian dishes. Quantity is ok. For 3 persons, the price would be around Rs. 420- 450 (with tax). Free home delivery is available for areas in and around saltlake.

Oasis - Park Street

OASIS is a bar-cum-restaurant located just beside olypub. The interior is not so good, but the sofas are really comfortable, and the air conditioning equally cold in summers and the service is also good. Getting a table is easy, as there not too much rush of people unlike other cheap restaurants, and it has two floors to accommodate a lot of people. You can see a nice part of Park Street through the transparent glass panes. The downstairs is lit very brightly in comparison to upstairs. Many cocktails like screwdriver, bloody Mary, Orange Blossom, Mint Julep, Caesar, Tequila Sunrise are available. Beer costs around Rs. 140. The Tandoori Chicken and kebab items are really scrumptious. The average cost for food and beverages for 2 persons is around Rs. 800-900.

Mags (Magnolia) - Park Street

The dim lighting at MAGS (also known as Magnolia) is perfect cover for its simple brown interiors. The furniture isn’t anything fancy either. Mags sticks to the theme of simplicity with basic chairs, leather-covered sofas and sturdy tables. However, the no-frills interior doesn’t mean that it’s unclean. The restaurant and bar cover two floors, the lower level being the “family section”. However, the upper level is mostly frequented by men who drop by for a few after-hour drinks. Because of the rock-bottom prices for the tipple, one can drink like a fish here, even on a shoe-string budget. There’s lot to choose from as well—regular whiskeys to premium liquor like Teachers. If you're lucky, you’d find Black Label as well at prices you could expect only in Goa. Beer, vodka, rum and cocktails round off the bar menu. As with most multi-cuisine restaurants that serve alcohol, the food isn’t impressive enough to write home about. The vegetable dishes on the menu are simply there to make it look complete. But surprisingly, the non-veg items are great: be it starters or the mutton and fish dishes in the main course. The hot garlic chicken tastes sweeter than gulab jamun! Chili Chicken dry and spring chicken are the best starters. Do try out the Tutti Frutti in desserts.
