This is going to be an angry post. Was reading 'TOI Kolkata' today and obviously like every bengali I wanted to check if there was something 'affordable' at nearby restaurants or the good ones.
So came by this article or rather an advertisement about a restaurant near Tolygunge PS named the 'The Funjabi Tadka'.
The article claimed that for couples they are charging 400INR plus tax per couple with 'special' dishes prepared and planned for Poila Baishak covering the so called (affordable, or I thought so) celebration for the next seven days starting from 14th April.
There were two numbers given to contact for reservations, and to my utter surprise the guy I called up said he doesn't work for TFK anymore!!
First thing, 'THE TIMES OF INDIA' while you very well explained the A-Z of the new 'Bong culture and mentality', what went wrong with the re-checking of facts before putting up an article on behalf of a restaurant?
I didn't care to call up the other number because I was told that there is no such special lunch offer as '400/-' per couple and that at the end of the day even if you RESERVE and do the mistake of not ASKING about the menu details and price, then you will end up paying the double of what you READ.
So this is just to warn everybody, call up the numbers, ask specifically and directly whether as written it's rupees 'xyz' per couple? Or is it rupees 'xyz' per person???
Honestly I would rather suggest that if it's about food and the TASTE which matters to you, then go for the restaurants which do not advertise as much as others.
Yes, if you have the moolah to spend on 'The Park' and their special 'Poila Baishak' special menu, then go for it, because I am sure they will make the taste worth it.
But for other such less known food joints, please beware of what you read, what they say and what you pay.
