Just few days back, the Pumpkins went on a lunch date at Chowman in Sinthimore. Located in Northern Kolkata, just a few steps from the renowned Rabindra Bharati University, it is one of the best restaurants of Kolkata. The place is very well connected by Bus routes and other public transportation. The restaurant is also easily visible from the main road, making it easy to find. The entrance door resembles the entrance of Chinese Royal Courts which will take you to the golden era.
As we entered we were greeted by the associates and the restaurant supervisor. All the tables were ready to be served at anytime. Chowman, Sinthimore opens at 12:00 Noon and closes at 10:30 PM. It is a casual dining restaurant serving mainly Chinese and Thai Cuisine as well as Asian Cuisine.
AMBIENCE:
Chowman outlets are renowned for their decoration. The huge Buddha face carved on the wall brings forth a serene environment; the wall decorations with red and the significant dim lighting manifests their upscale presentations of service. The ongoing soft music helps the mood to calm down and de-stresses the mind.
FOOD:
Chowman, Sinthimore has a wide array of foods. The menu is finely categorised and even the variation of hotness in food is clearly mentioned. The dimsums (kind of momo) are must haves. From the wide choice of starters, the Pumpkins ordered-
A plate of Prawn Sui Mai (an open dimsum) @270 INR. One portion contains 8 pieces and comes along with a special sui mai sauce. The prawns were evenly cooked to the bite and were well succulent and juicy. The sauce added to its deliciousness.
They have a wide variety of rice and noodle preparations. We wanted to have both which is near to impossible. So we ordered a plate of Shanghai Styled Mixed Meifoon or Rice Noodles @250 INR. The portion size was more than enough for 2 persons. It tasted extremely yummy. All the ingredients could be felt in individual and the flavours burst in our mouth.
We were suggested to pair the Meifoon with Kung Pao Chicken (gravy) @280 INR which had the whooping quantity of 12 pieces per portion. The pair was the best we have ever tasted. The cashew nuts added to the flavour. The Chicken dices melted in mouth along with the mouth-watering gravy.
The Pumpkins were so full by the end they had to order Fresh Lime Soda (salted). At 90 INR per portion it wass more than enough.
To rate the food the Pumpkins will like to give:
Sui Mai Prawn – 5/5
Shanghai Style Meifoon (mixed) – 5/5
Kung Pao Chicken – 4/5
Fresh Lime Soda – 4/5
SERVICE:
Truly speaking, Chowman provides you with world-class service. The associates are very well behaved. They have a very good knowledge of the menu and suggested some excellent dishes to us. Querying about the food taste clearly mentions how concerned they are about their food taste and quality.
The Pumpkins had a great time at the Chowman, Sinthimore. Their tagline “Think Chineese…Think Chowman” is justified by their food taste and quality and we are looking forward to visit soon and try out the other amazing items. We would always recommend the restaurant as a must visit if you really want to experience quality food and world class service.
