The Good Old Days

The Good Old Days – Blog

Been here with my couple of friends in evening to taste some of there snacks and beverages. A newly opened Café cum Hookah bar. Heard a lot about this place and finally visit here after the strong recommendation of Shahbaaz Zaman.

Before I start let me first tell you how to reach this outlet because in first time it may little tricky to find the exact location by you. It was just there where Zomato map was showing. If you are coming from Kalighat Metro side then take the first stop after Triangular Park stop and if you’re coming from other side then vise versa and then just walk for 1-2 min you see the café on your left at the end of the first lane.

The café has a retro look. Bricks and cementic walls, low lights, Old bulbs in Old Days factories pipes, an Old Roman numbered British wall clock etc. It has two levels – ground and first. In ground floor there are 5-6 tables to sit which is good and in first floor there are 3 tables and 1 couch to sit. Due to lac of space there is no single table for large group but still sitting arrangement was really good and very comfortable. Café theme and looks was very amazing I personally loved it.

Come to Ambience it was fantastic and so as hospitality. The Owners and their staff were very friendly and helpful. Very impressed with the Service and Presentation. Staff was well trained and performing their part of job amazingly. Presentation and platting was beautiful. Apart from food the other thing which makes more regular customers was service and hospitality and they knew it that’s why they were really good in that.

Let’s move on to our favorite part which was reviewing of food and beverages.

We start with Beverages first in which we ordered some mouth watering refreshments reviewed below –

• TG.O.D’s Special Blessing – “ This was the best refreshment of the menu” – They said. Yes they were absolutely correct. This was the best cold coffee I’ve ever tried. Perfectly made cold coffee in glass in which dark chocolate and caramel pored in sides. It was special and it has blessings of great taste. Amazingly tastes cold coffee garnished with whipped cream, caramel, dark chocolate, chocolate waffle crumbs and chocolate waffle stick on top.

• Cucumber Mojito – This was just amazing. One of the best Mojito I’ve tried so far. Treasure of refreshment for me. Classic mojito made of tangy lemons and refreshing mints with a tasty anti-oxidant cucumber tastes so refreshing, little tangy and delicioud. Garnished with lemon & cucumber cutouts and mint leaves inside & lemon slice on top.

• Chick-Fil-A-Frosted Lemonade - It was an adopted beverage from an USA based Café Chick-Fil –A. Very refreshing and healthy Died drink made from the amazing combination of lemon juice and dairy products. Amazing creamy taste of Cream and milk with little tanginess of lemon. A must try drink for health freaks who want delicious beverages but with less calories and more provita’s. Served in Milk bottle and garnished with lemon slice.

• Watermelon Mojito – An another delicious experiment with Mojito. Tangy and refreshing Classic Mojito made of lemons and mint leaves with added delicious and refreshing flavor of Watermelon. Full of flavor refreshment which tastes amazing. Totally loved it. Recommended to all.

With the mouth watering refreshments we ordered couple of Tasty and spicy Starters which are reviewed below –

• Panko Mushroom - Button Mushroom and malted cheese inside the crispy and crunchy semi cut balls with red chilly powder spreaded. Taste was really good. Aromatic cheesy mushroom with spicy crispiness tastes so good. Garnished with spread red chilly powder and coriander leaves. Served with mayonnaise dip.

• Veg Bruschetto - Bruschetto was an Italian snack. Very quick and simple recipe but taste was truly delicious. Roasted or grilled bread with the toppings of chopped tomatoes and olives. It was both juicy and crispy/crunchy. Very tasty quick bite snack garnished with coriander leaves and cheese. Served with spicy mayonnaise.

In Main course we ordered another couple of dishes which were really good in taste reviewed below –

• Soft Flour Tortillas – Green Bell Pepper and onion fried with tomato puree and spicy red sauce rolled in soft and flat tortilla. It was an Chinese-Mexican dish which was spicy and very delicious. It was my personal favorite. Highly recommended to all. Served with hot & sour tomato dip and Cream with veggies slices.

• Wild Mushroom Pizza – They are still working on it so they give us that for testing purpose only. Yes it was not perfect yet but close enough. Crust was really good. Good amount of Mushrooms and cheese. In topping they put little black olives too. Everything was fine and taste was also superb. They just need to work on sauce. No taste was not the factor it’s just overloaded with sauce because of that cheese and toppings were separate from base after first bite. Rest good.

We ended our delicious journey with couple of delicious desserts reviewed below –

• Sizzling Drizzling Brownie – I’m being a fan of these from first time I tried it. A classic brownie with vanilla ice cream scoop with poured dark chocolate sauce served in smoky sizzler plate. It was very delicious in taste. Soft and sizzling dessert. Personal favorite. Recommended to all.

• Tuti Fruiti – It was an housefull dessert for me. This dessert giving us so many taste in one glass. Start from top we have crushed chocolate wafers then whipped cream then vanilla ice cream then chocolate brownie and then Mango, strawberry & blueberry jellies. In every single spoon you get the different combined delicious tastes. Highly recommended to all.

Before I conclude there is something for people who smoke hookah. They have a special guy there to make only hookah and he make the best hookah of town. So do try their hookahs and I’m 100% sure that you gonna loved it so much.

So that’s how our experience was. It was a great place to hang out with buddies just like your good old days. Like to mention here Mr. Aroon (The hookah boy). No he doesn’t make hookah he was friend of owners of restaurant. Because of him we spend some great time there by his jokes and all. It was an Must try place. Loved to been here. Personal favorite highly recommended to all.
