Good but not fully worthy with price
During the last week of September 2020,before the pujas, I went to The Famous Mocambo with my dear friends. We just enjoyed and dived in to some mouthwatering continental dishes like Chicken Ala Kiev, Chichen Corten Bleu, baked Alaska and many more !! I would surely recommend Mocambo to anyone who is a big foodie and really wanna dive into some exquisite continental dishes in Kolkata.
Well my family has been dining here since generations. The food is delicious and would recommend it to family and friends
Irish Chaueterband Beef Steak is extraordinary.
Their fried fish with tartare sauce is too die for.
Beckty Bell Muniere and Chilli chicken are delicious 😍

Mocambo was on our bucket list since 2016, I believe, (some of you might remember the now famous controversy this place ran into, that was what led us to wanting to try this place out). I was finally able to visit the restaurant post lockdown. Now, first things first, I loved their sanitizer dispenser stand which was wooden and looked very classy indeed. We were warmly welcomed in and found a table in the interior room beside the glass wall and we thoroughly enjoyed the decor and the seating. The ambience, however, was not up to mark. When I visit a fine dine like Mocambo (specially after all the controversy), i expect a posh and classy dining experience instead of babies at adjoining tables causing a rukkus or people conversing loudly and not even asked by the management (not even politely, let alone in a rude fashion as it had been reported a few years back) to keep the noise down. I understand that the management might be receiving mixed suggestions, and they have to choose between maintaining a humanitarian outlook while maintaining the standards of a fine dine at the same time. However, I think a middle ground is also possible where they can put out polite suggestions which can still preserve the charm and standards of the restaurant. Moving on to the food, we ordered chicken golden fry drums and devilled crab for appetizers; lobster thermidor, chicken milanaise and chicken chipolata sizzler for main course; and cream caramel and baked alaska for dessert. The service was okay. The people were polite and helpful. However they served the succeeding course before the one aprior was fully finished. That causes unnecessary rush to finish the dishes which is not really appreciated. It also cramps up the table. The golden fried drums were good, they were well cooked and juicy. The dips accompanying the drums had good flavour but could have done with a thicker consistency to have supplemented the chicken better. The devilled crab lacked salt and thus all the attempts to bring out the flavour from the crab fell short. There were a few small fragments of the crab shell mixed within the meat which is not expected. The lobster thermidor also lacked proper seasoning, it was only slightly better than the crab and that was only owing to the natural flavour of the lobster meat. The sauce was a bit on the thinner side and had not meshed that well with the meat. The vegetable sides that came with the lobster were not up to the mark either. The roasted potatoes lacked seasoning and were cold. The carrots tasted plain and bland as well, perhaps a bit of sauteing them in butter would have worked wonders. The peas were ok but they were just there, slightly non cohesive with the rest of the dish. The chicken milanaise also lacked salt but its saving grace was the ham in the dish. The ham was excellent and well seasoned and its presence made the dish much better. The chipolata sizzler was pretty good, except for the veggies part which was the same as the thermidor dish. The sausages in the chipolata were one of the best I have ever had and the chicken was pretty delicious itself. The bacon was good but slightly soggy due to being drenched in the sauce, maybe they could have been lightly laid over the rest of the dish at the very last so that they would have retained their texture and been truly brilliant. The cream caramel was the highlight of the entire meal. It was one of the best cream caramels I have had all over India and reminded me of how my grandmother used to make it. It had the perfect caramelization and the most delectable flavour. They nailed the consistency as well. It truly warmed up my soul. The baked alaska has room for improvement. Firstly, they should light it at the table itself, after dimming the lights as by the time it reached our table, the flames had almost died and were barely visible. I would have personally preferred a bit less of the cream and a bit more of ice-cream and cake layers, the latter two i felt were very less. Overall, I feel the dishes we tried, except the cream caramel, have room for improvement. I would love to go back to the restaurant again to try out other dishes, specially from the Indian section of the menu.
Oh just love the food and ambience of this place. Truly one of my favourites. The food is exquisite at reasonable price. Their signature dish, the "devil crab" is a must to try out. Other dishes are equally good. I recommend this to all the continental food lovers out there.
Whenever there is craving for continental food, there is Mocambo. There is none like Mocambo anywhere is India. When it comes to the old world charm, both the interiors and the unique menu takes the cake. Not that we were away from Mocambo's delicacies for a very long time, however in these times, there was a serious wanting of Mocambo food. While out regular favourite crab devil was not available, fish a diana, beckty wellington, meat lasagna and liver risotto more than made up for it. Lucky to stay in a neighborhood where Mocambo.delivers.
The Mocambo signature dish was really amazing, worth having it. The ambience is also soothing. Highly recommended 👌
Chicken A la kiev is no doubt one of the best sellers in Mocambo. And Chicken tetrazini was so cheesy it melted in the mouth. Absoultely loved both the dishes. Mutton peshawari kebab was a bit disappointing from the portions perspective. Otherwise, everything else was top-notch.
The place was beautifully decorated, and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. The service was prompt and courteous, and the menu had a good variety of dishes.
The food was overall good, but I wasn't a fan of the soup and dessert.
The only downside was the price, which was quite high .While the food was good, I felt that it didn't justify the cost.
Overall, I had a decent experience at this restaurant. The ambiance was lovely, and the food was good, albeit with a few exceptions.
Chicken a la kiev is a must try. Rest all foods taste good but quantity is very less. Compared to the price we paid, both food quality and quantity could had been better.
Service can be improved.
An all time favourite heritage restaurant in Kolkata. Forever in love with their Chicken a la Kiev, love the ambience and the service is great. Not a huge fan of the Devil Crab though but the continentals are worth trying !!
Continental at its best. The quality of the food is too good. If you are visiting on weekends make sure you keep some buffer time with you. It's generally crowded. They do not pre-book. It's first come first serve. The famous chicken Ala kiev is good in taste but I would people who love it more spicy may not like it. We went with 4 year old children, he also enjoyed a lot as none of the dishes were spicy. One of the old and best restaurants in park Street. Also a prawn cocktail is a must try.
Best and one of the oldest restaurants at Park Street,Kolkata. Tried mocambo for the first time on New year's eve and the food here was flavoursome and delicious. Loved the Ala mocambo and Ala Kiev which are two of the most famous dishes here. Highly recommended for dinner/lunch with family/friends/collegaues...Sizzlers are also a must try here..
I am going for my birthday dinner today. I love their decoration in the restaurant. Service is also very good. We ordered some fish items in white sauce and chicken steak with garlic sauce. I love the food very much. They served the food very well. Their continental menu is very good.
Sharing about my experience there's nothing I can say I didn't like about the place, I just love everything starting from the ambience the food, the service, everything touched my heart. This is my third or fourth visit to mocambo and every time I go here it pleases my heart. We were a group of 5 to 6 people so we ordered two chicken steaks, one ham steak, one grilled bhekti and another Chicken Ala Kiev, all of the foods were so tasty with mushroom toppings and steamed vegetables and the the steak was absolutely beautifully cooked each and every time I go here I have to take the steak and this is like so so delicious. We had a bill of approximately 3,000 but the paying through swiggy, We got a discount of almost like 30% so it was also a good deal for us as well. We had good food. A good time and definitely a very good environment to have a blast with friends or family or whomever you want to go. Just go and enjoy this place.
This is an iconic joint on Park Street Kolkata. Waiting time can be very long though we were lucky to find a place immediately. We ordered Chicken Cocktail Sausage, Chicken Meuniere and Fish Florentine. Chicken sausage was very good. As far as the two other items were considered, the white sauce which was quite cheesey got a little overwhelming and heavy. The fish in particular had significant quantity of the sauce compared to the actual fish fillet. Taste was fine. Chicken Meuniere was good. While many visit this place given the repertoire and fame, the taste may not be to everybody's liking...It could be an acquired taste for some. From a pricing perspective, based on my experience in other Indian big cities I thought it was quite reasonable.
The ambiemce is lovey and warm.. usually full on weekends.. pork cutlet is a must.. chicken a la kiev is loaded with butter with a unique taste.. all in all must visit to this place with great food and hospitality
