Gondhorajj Mamita's Food Review #KolkataFoodie #KolkataFood #MomoReview #FoodShorts #food
A food reviewer visits Gondhoraj Food Outlet in Kasba, Kolkata, and has a deeply disappointing experience. The highlight of the disappointment was finding chicken innards (intestines/offal) in their momos instead of proper chicken pieces. The overall visit, including the fish fry and paratha-mali chicken combo, failed to impress.
Summary
The reviewer, Gondhorajj Mamita, visits the Gondhoraj Food Outlet (also referred to as a café) in Kasba, Kolkata — a place they had wanted to try for a long time but hadn't visited due to the distance from home. The experience is described upfront as 'best disappointing.'
The meal begins with a fish fry, which had a noticeable fishy smell during consumption, signaling a lack of freshness or quality preparation.
Next, the reviewer attempted to order Chicken Steam Momos but was told they were unavailable. They settled for the Gondhoraj Momos priced at ₹129. Upon eating, they discovered there were no proper chicken pieces inside — instead, what appeared to be chicken innards or offal (referred to as 'nari-bhuri' meaning intestines/giblets). When the waiter was informed of this issue, the staff showed no concern or response, which added to the frustration.
Finally, the reviewer ordered a Paratha-Mali Chicken Combo, which was described as 'just so-so' — neither good nor bad, simply mediocre.
The reviewer closes by asking their audience if they have ever had a similarly disappointing food experience, inviting them to share in the comments.
