Review Please Don't Talk - Kolkata (Calcutta)

This back to school themed restaurant is in Harrington Mansions, in the heart of the city. There is parking in there and also valet parking since the location also houses 3 other restaurants and there’s bound to be a space crunch especially on weekends Love the ambience though it can be a little too dark sometimes and the service is fantastic. Yes, lots of places to take fun photos and it would be great for a private party too. There are different rooms - the inner one being for those 18 and above. Hookah is available here. The food is really good - I highly recommend their pizzas the hummus platters are great too. Yes, it is a tad on the higher side as is with all the restaurants on the street. They have a full-fledged live bar and good cocktails to offer.

Please Don't Talk is a quiet old name in the city in gastropub chain of Kolkata. This place is located near Vardaan Market, Camac Street. Ambience of the place is just lit, absolutely photogenic, colourful and fabulous. From their menu, had tried: Chicken crispy, Spaghetti, Tiramisu. Tiramisu was absolutely good, but the other dishes was more or less tasty.

Food is extremely tasty and the so are the cocktails. The ambience is also very good. Will recommend the Wasabi Prawns especially. The signature cocktails are also worth exploring. The staff here are also very friendly and helpful. Overall a great place to eat and drink.

The atmosphere of this place is just amazing with good music at comfortable volume for conversations (later towards 8pm they start making the music louder). Good playlist btw!! The live band that day, it was a Sunday, was incredible with a mashup of the best songs. Food was great too (1600 for two), the Greek pizza esp. was unique!

Very nice little cozy place. Perfect for couples on a romantic night. They also have live singer & musicians and it's was just fabulous. Pocket pinch - for 2 people it cost around 1500-2000rs which is expensive.. specially the sushi. 4 pieces of sushi @ 400 rs. Like can u imagine

Great Place, Nice School Themed Ambiance, With live music.. The place is spread over a large section of the floor, divided into smaller areas.. Food is good in taste.. Service is also very good Must try this place..

This place located near the American Embassy, Camac street is just so cool! It has a "Back to school theme "! It has quirky interiors! You've got several seating rooms such as music room, library, The principal's room, etc! It's very good for large groups! We went there in the lunch time and it was quite busy. The staff is Courteous and helpful. INTERIORS ARE QUIRKY❤ If you're a photo freak, then this is the place for you! Coming to the food, it's great! I felt the portion size was slightly less as compared to the pricing! The taste was nice! Also, PDT should work on their music! That's the only con I found! RECOMMENDED!

Great Place, superb ambience, live music and happy people around. The place is spread over a large section of the floor, divided into smaller areas of eating. Not too suitable for senior citizens or little children, music is loud and clear. Though they don't say no but the place doesn't suit that age group. Chit chat, private parties or celebrations would be great here. Presentation of food is very good too

Please Don't Talk floored us with the food and beverages. The service was warm and very friendly. And the ambiance just took us back to school days. I've not seen a better executed theme in Kolkata. Absolutely loved every corner and how it was used. Attention to derail is spot on! Coming to the food Brilliant is the only way I can describe the meal. All the food was cooked so well and sprosingly I loved the both the veg and Nonveg fare! The Philadelphia cheese kulcha and Daal was a big hit. Absolutely amazing. The soft as cotton kulchas and the rich kali Daal were a match made in heaven. The half meter pizza was not a delight to look at and photograph, but tasted amazing too. Generous topping, thin crust and good balance. Absolutely loved the Schezwan Pepper corn chicken. Crunchy till the last bite and loaded in flavour. The 4 types of hummus were absolutely divine, especially the green one made with Edamame. Velvety sooth texture and great balance of flavors. Have to mention the Veg Mapo Tofu. I never imagined a veg version of the dish could taste so good. I've been a Mapo tofu purist, but this version changed my perception. The classic murgh malai nazakat (tikka) was cooked beautifully. Tender even when it had cooled down, shows the skill of the tandoor chef.. The wings too were very tender and not overcooked. Coming to the beversges, everybody loved the sous vide cocktails. I don't drink and I loved the Kiwi iced tea and the popcorn juice very much. The desserts were delicious too.

This place serve Indian, Lebanese,sushi,Chinese, tandoor, Italian. Mouthwatering "Appetizers" as well wide selection of "Main Course" available. Live Music too much enjoyable 😊. Also you can have good selection of "Cocktails". Overall this place worth spending evening with friends and dearest one.

Cool concept, busy bar. Live music. Solid food menu includes Lebanese section. Greek Pizza is a highlight

Firstly talking about the place and ambiance,this place is located at a very prime location in Calcutta...and the ambiance will let you get a feel of your good old school days..specially the calligraphy on washroom walls😜.The pub is very well decorated with precise planning. Now coming to the main part..."THE FOOD AND DRINKS" we ordered pizza, pasta, dimsum, tiramisu and some beer with a mild shisha, the food tasted very good(specially the pasta), although quality was nice but the quantity was not at par with the price charged and drinks were served in a very decorative way.. although it is a little expensive,but it's worth if you want a good ambiance at such a prime location in town. A must visit with your group of friends.

Amazing place to be..Very good service... Ambience is very nice .. staff is friendly and warm ... We ordered Greek Pizza, Tandoori Mushroom and Pastas..The bartender made us two customised mocktail and they were fantastic..

Done with studies ?? Working and missing your glorious school days?? Well, think no more. You should definitely pay a visit to this newly opened Gastronomic Pub in town.  In the busy life of ours what we miss the most is our amazing School days, though we realise it later but those are the most beautiful days of our life. Please Don’t Talk! 🤫 the name sounds interesting right? And place is interesting as well. The theme of the place is ‘school’. It is the Kolkata's next hot-stop Pub ❤️ This is one of the happening place in town where you can chill with your school buddies over food and drinks. 😍It is the place of pure nostalgia taking you back to your school days. This perfect place in town where u can relive your glorious school days❣️

An amazing place for your friends to hang out. We had molecular Papdi Chaat which is like a bolt from the blue. I am sure you never had something like this. It is fused with liquid nitrogen which gives the cool after effect when you have them in your mouth. Then we have BBQ sliders which look like miniature burgers but are filling. They look as delicious as they look. Lastly the 1/4 pizzas. The crust is super thin. You will as if you are having a biscuit and it's crunchy. They are rectangular in shape unlike the usual and is also a treat to your tummies. Had a wonderful time in there. The prices will not punch a hole in your pockets if you have used GIRF deal from Dineout. Would love to visit this restaurant again!

This is a school themed restaurant. I absolutely loveddd the way they've created this place. So creative! Every single thing used and placed is school inspired. You'll see it in the pictures. They have separate sections in the restaurant that are called staff room, infirmary, chem lab, classroom, principal's office, etc. The people who serve here wear school uniform as well. The menu is like a notebook. The washroom has things scribbled all over the place with relatable quotes and student dialogues. Coming to the food, it is mind blowing! It is unique and different. One of the desserts called Snoozel is served on an exact pillow shaped plate. The dimsums and pizza are also very tasty.

Okay so went to this school themed restaurant,where the waiters were dressed in school uniform.😁 Apart from foot-tapping music and good food they also had paper games and at times there were chaos just like it happens inside a classroom. 🤣 So I took a paper and started making an origami fish and after finishing it I asked Rashid, the boy who served us to give some more papers as I had completed the first task and he was so astonished to see that I have actually made the fish that he offered us 3 back to back complimentary dishes.😁 Now how cool is that!! 😍😍 So all those who want to relive their school days,please drop in for the fantastic experience,I can vouch that you won't be disappointed! 🙂 The three complimentary dishes served were- Molecular Lollipop Molecular Jelly Shots Molecular Cakes

This is Kolkata's next hot-stop Pub. It has a unique interior of school days. They even have a Chalk-n-talk wall up there with different kinds of "alcoholic formulas" 😉 It is situated at the Camac street. After entering the place you will see attendants wearing school uniforms and some one will be the Monitor! 😁 This place has the really cool vibe and it's maintained by the staffs too. Now coming to the foods.. *AMAZING* after a really long time I had the opportunity to visit a place having food and drinks both being "ek se badh kar ek". DRINKS: 1. PDT whisky sour: a unique way to present whisky ! 2. He wants what she want: definitely give it a try! 3. High school sweetheart: I LOVE this! FOOD: 1. pakchoi chicken dumplings 2. Wasabi prawn 3. Something with chicken wings - forgot the actual name 4 Bruschetta DESSERT: Newton's law of antigravity As their name suggests, they all are pretty exclusive in Kolkata. Food-10/10 Ambience-10/10 Hospitality-10/10 I love this place and can't wait to visit more!

Good place.. nostalgia is the word..school themes all over. The waiters wearing school dress nd the best part they give the bill in. Damn pencil box.oh..I loved it.. amazing a must visit.. kolkata❤️

Very nice place to visit and courteous staff. Decoration is very innovative and catchy. Food is good and quantity as well. Hookah and Drinks are also available.

Theme is obviously unique but food wise its not at all good...they served us with rotten prawn crispy chicken instead of chilli chicken gravy...popcorn shake was not upto the mark...dint like the environment too..

Simply loved this place,great ambiance

Well I’ve been there for like 5-6times since it opened and really like the service. Good staffs and good seating arrangements.<br/>Cleanliness is well maintained too. <br/>I must say they have some really good and decent crowd at their place.<br/><br/>Ok so lemme come to the point, I am always disappointed by their hookah. Im an hookah addict so its really important for me to have the perfect flavour and smoke of the sheesha. Once I literally myself had to flip the coal and fix it. So uncomfortable right? Its over priced yet not at all flattering.<br/>Food is undoubtedly good. <br/>Please fix the hookah thing And I’d love to visit again soon.

The pan fried chilli fish was smelling, very hard to chew. Little expensive all the food items according to thr taste and quantity and quality.

Mr Joga Rao had attended us , and his service was extremely good . He made us feel important and focused that the service provided to us was extremely special

#joga Rao

Amazing Service provided by Mr. Joga Rao! Overall Experience was good!

Coureous staff especially subroto

I celebrated my birthday at please don’t talk.<br/>The food was excellent and the service provided by Mr Joga Rao was very good...

The quantity is low but the food is he great taste. The feel of every bite is memorable.

Great ambience and food.Customer and kid friendly. Ordered the following: mixed sauce penne pasta,veg platter, mojito,cola blast and french fries. Everything was good except the chana masala in the platter. A must try.

The food was amazing and loved the ambience ....the manager was very polite<br/>...the staff was very nice ....the food was amazing ....would love to cone here again

The place was very good and the ambience was also nice ....the hookah was amazing ....the manager rashid was also nice...the staff was very polite...the food was amazing ...would love to come again

The behavior of the manager was very nice

The experience was very nice....loved the food and hookah ...the food was amazing ...very hygienic place ...it was a wonderful experience ....would love to come here again

Great food with a lovely ambience. The restaurant aesthetics and decor give one the feel of a school classroom. Hookah bar is also available for hookah lovers. Overall an amazing experience.

"Please Don't Talk" this place is located in Camac Street near US consulate. It's the best place to revive your school memories. The ambiance is quite catchy and the staffs are super friendly.<br/>Quantity of the food is a bit less as compared to the price but the quality and ambiance makes up for that<br/>. . . . . .<br/>In Frame - Very Berry Good

Not the experience one would hope to have on the first day of the new year!<br/><br/>While the food and beverages were decent, they became irrelevant given the shoddy service. Please help to train your new staff if you plan to have repeat customers. I for one shall not be returning after your staff unceremoniously dropped my phone (safely kept on the table, was swept down to the floor). Cherry on the service cake - when you got an apology cake and cleared our plates, while we were still eating, to make room for the cake on the table! Well done!!

The food is tasty. But the place is a little over rated. They claim too much to be true.<br/>The food is no doubt very good. Including the hookah. It's very smooth.

Great ambience and super friendly staff! The food is a bit on the pricey side but still a taste worth remembering and visiting again! Cool hangout place with your buddies and somehow the nostalgia of school days hits u hard making the place even more lovable. Quantity is less as compared to the price but the quality and ambience makes up for that.

Highly impressed with the concept of the place Very cute and unique decor .<br/>Food is good so as the drink . Names have been kept quite catchy<br/>Revive your school memory with PDT. ... Must visit

Best place to reminisce your school days never expected a cafe would come up with such nice concept. Amazing ambience, yes it is expensive but spending every penny was worth it. Happy new year, best wishes for the forth coming years.

Awsm place to visit with frndzzz

The place was good but not as expected though the themed restaurant was good for clicking pics but not good for the taste buds though

Pathetic live music. Irritated with multiple HELLO check . Check 8. HELLO check . Common guys m sure you can do better than HELLO CHeCK ..<br/><br/>Naice hookah and food. However check with the server before ordering as most of the mocktails are NOT Available.

This school themed gastropub brings back a lot of memories... Loved there innovation and creativity.. Especially the chemistry beaker shaped hookah. Great place to hang out with your friends and loved ones. We went on a Saturday night, the music is soothing which made the ambience quite nice. The service is fast enough and staff members quite courteous and friendly.<br/>We ordered dimsum, hoegarden, harmonie ginger(the best), two starters, fried rice, 2 side dishes. Loved the place. Would love to visit again.

very nice place...school concept...i liked the food there....we went there on a week day so we got the table quickly...we ordered burger, non veg items, veg burnt garlic fried rice which was yum. i thoroughly enjoyed the ambience and staff service, i would like to give another visit to this place to try their other dishes. 4/5 for food, 3/5 for service, 4/5 for ambience.

Very good staff behavior

I visited this place yesterday.<br/>A lot of hard work has gone into the decor, but the food is below average.<br/>The price is of food very high, but when it comes the quality it was unexpectedly poor. <br/>Even though the service is quick and the staff is polite my overall experience was not good and I might not visit the place again.

The place is cozy and the theme is hip. The decorations are just lovely . However, a bit costly if you wish to have drinks. Hookah seems to be fine. Pizza and churros are must-have. The staff is attentive and friendly.

The name of the place was catchy and we were searching a new place , unluckily we sorted this one.<br/>The food was actually below average. The drinks had a catchy name few have a good taste but I fear what about portions of alcohol content . As a cocktail shouldn't give u a feel of mocktail.<br/>So we are sure not to repeat.

I went here on 4th nov 2019 at 6pm <br/>I found the place awsome . Old school concept .<br/>U will get back the school memories .<br/>i had old monk. <br/>When i went there the place full empty .<br/>It s very spacious and huge .<br/>Good art work in walls . <br/>No happy hours are there . <br/>Staffs -4/5<br/>Ambiance -5/5

nice ambience and really good hospitality. lovely service provided by mr gomes we loved it

The place is always booked for some party and the cafe staff are chasing you to leave the place..and this happened twice with me!<br/>Also the food that we ordered wasn’t any great and the potion size is extremely small!!<br/>I would not prefer to visit this place again

Wonderful place everything there was good faced a bit seating problem otherwise environment food music everything was perfect and yeah of course their big chemistry beaker wala hookah. Summing it all up one word- 'Awesome'.

The ambience is absolutely amazing.. Variety of cuisines available is great.. The food is tasty especially the desserts were delicious..

This place is located in Camac Street near US Consolate. The theme and the Ambience is amazing but the Food is something that had disappointed us to the Core. The Quantity of the food was extremely bad. The taste was also not good. However, the Service is quick and the Staffs behave professionally.

Nice place to visit..chilli garlic noodles was really good.. Schewan Chicken was not worth the expectations...we ordered baked pasta but it was not baked..hookah was good..cola blast was awesome..a one time place to visit..

I recently visited this restaurant. I was extremely impressed by the food and service. Gomes was the server of our table. The service given was impeccable. We ordered a paneer paryavachi, wild potato, Philadelphia kulcha. The food was out of the world. We also ordered for blue lagoon which was made in special request. The other mocktail was very very good which tasted the same as it name suggests. The dessert which they have was quite nice. The ambience was also amazing. It gave me a nostalgic feeling. It is a must visit place. Will surely revisit it. The gastronomy in the food took my dining experience to another level.

Please don't talk is located near camac Street interior is good no doubt it's all school based theme but the food quantity is very less and items are also limited otherwise I literally like the interior good food bites its ok and the day I visited there was going to be a private party because of that the staff was so inactive to table, but for timepass there are paper games .

CUTE. Chem labs, staff rooms and graffiti of 'we don't need no education'... You have got to be there. The food was good, a little bit pricey compared to the quality or food deco, but the staffs were friendly and if you had a super school life you'll crave to have a school day once again.<br/>PS: we got two complementary dishes there. 😝😝...<br/>And dimsum was good btw.

The best thing about this place was the band, the music was amazing and so was the food. The behaviour of the staff was nice.<br/>

Especially enjoyed the staff service of Mr.Gomes. The ambience is absolutely lovely.Liked the place and a very nice format.

Had #foodgasm and the service was too good. Mr. Gomes was quite splendid. The ambience was lovely. Would come again.

Even the service was outstanding ...Gomes and Sudip..were very helpful in all cases...the desserts were a must try...the overall food was good too...one cannot regret visiting plz dnt talk ever!

A nice and cozy place to have a nice time with friends. Make you remember your school days. I actually went with my school friends and it was a walk down the memory lane.

Please don't go. Thats the correct phrase that can be used for this place. Horrible food. Ordered 3 items all of them were not upto the mark. Food was served without cutlery. Dimsum falafel n gnocchi all of them were so bad that i cant even express. On giving bad feedback they gave 4 tiny pieces of chocolate cake complementary. Thank god it was complementary bcoz i tasted like old style Kathleen pastry. This place is disgusting.

They have decorated this place. You can see a lot of hard work os gone into setting this place up but somehow the food does not match up to the interiors. First of all I found it a bit pricey for the amount of food they were giving. I wouldn't have minded the price of the food had been extremely good but it was not.

Totally chilled out atmosphere. A unique healthy menu covering different cuisines. We ordered for Mushroom Truffle, Jwalamukhi ke phool, Makdous, creme cheese truffle, Greek Pizza, Chocolate Truffle. Special mention for Jwalamukhi ke phool, it was simply delicious and so was the wasabi raita. Makdous came as a pleasant surprise and though I do not like aubergines, this is one dish that I enjoyed a lot. Will definitely visit again and try out other items.

Loved the band, and the school themed ambience. We had margarita pizza which was yum, and the shisha is a must try.... Was super fun!

Ambiance: 5/5<br/>Food:4/5<br/>Price:3/5<br/>Service:4/5<br/><br/>This school themed gastropub has a very interesting ambiance and can easily be a topic of discussion in itself.<br/>The thin crust pizza was quite well made and tasty, though the price seemed a bit too high for the provided quantity. Also the oregano was totally bland somehow.<br/>The mentioned avg. cost for two of ₹1500 with alcohol isn't quite sufficient.<br/>The service was pretty decent.

Got to know about this place from my Facebook news feed.there was a detail post about this place including food,ambience and all..went through that write up..liked it immediately and made a quick plan to check this place out.<br/>This place is located near exide metro..few meters away from well known gabbars kitchen..better take help from google map,it'll help.<br/>I found their starters and desert section more promising..we had kachha papad pakka papad,unique menu just like its name and soft delicious yummy Chicken lasooni kebab as starters.Main course consisted of mixed fried rice and hunan prawn..quantity wise both the items were quite heavy,tasted average though.Took snoozie(mango flavoured) as desert,an absolute unique presentation it was,you may hate that snooze button in your cellphone but will surely be amazed with this one.<br/>Ambience was very good,people were in school uniform,there are different designated rooms like exam hall,class room etc.Overall we enjoyed our visit in PDT.

I don't understand how people are giving it a 5 star ? This whole place has pretensions of being an upscale, global joint but isn't! <br/><br/>The ridiculously funny names for each section tries hard, but fails miserably - all it's good for, is a smirk. <br/><br/>The waiters are polite but that's about it. <br/><br/>The captains tend to congregate around the Bar area and shout out directions every once in a while to look useful, else they are just part of the decor. <br/><br/>The food is decent, nothing spectacular but they haven't gone destroyed it and I am thankful for that. <br/><br/>They have a service charge and are willing to fight for it - we had to convince them to remove that off since it's optional and not mandatory, per the Govt. <br/><br/>The 2 women at the front desk need to learn a few things about hospitality for sure - they claimed it was reservation only, but when we visited, it was almost like a grave with 2 tables occupied (they 'reserve' the seating for privileged visitors and the rest of us need to stand at tables) and they kept insisting we make a reservation. <br/><br/>The table allotted to us was supposed to be occupied by 10:30 but there was no one until we left, almost at midnight.

Amazing place to chill with friends, live music, a typical school-like feel, floppy disc coasters, colored pencils, ruler designed table stand.<br/>Sunday night and when you don't get a table immediately, it's a whoa moment.<br/><br/>We didn't order much - just garlic bread and guava merry. Food was decent, staff was very courteous and friendly.<br/><br/>Overall a good place.

Very nice place and ambience. Damn good service by Joga Roy ! He was very courteous. Live music was amazing. Veg platter and pasta was too good.

Ambience - 4/5<br/>Food - 4/5<br/>Staff behaviour- 5/5<br/>Decor- 4/5<br/><br/>Tried many dishes at this place. It was a very good experience and the taste lingered on for quite some time. The ambience is also pretty good and of a different kind and the decor and lights are also provide a cosy ambience .<br/><br/>This place is good for dates or for casual hangouts. Quite pocket friendly especially for college goers!! Not much recommended for family dining though.

Terrible hospitality. <br/>Have been to so many clubs in Kolkata, but for the first tym came across, such a rude set of staffs.<br/><br/>Specially the lady at the reservation desk. Please teach her how to talk. Absolutely ill mannered.<br/>Besides ask her to throughly remember the cover charges(if any), coz to some she said 3k per person cover charges, to some 2k. <br/><br/>Besides we had a group of 8 ppl inside..our 2 more frns came jus 10 mins before the closing time.<br/>We requested her so much to let them in. But she was so adamant that she didn’t & made thm wait outside.<br/>Undoubtedly the music was good, but our overall experience got spoilt becoz of the way she talked with us.<br/><br/>Would rate u NEGATIVE IN HOSPITALITY.

Your food items are deluscious . Staff super courteous esp. Joga Rao.

The place was quite amazing but the prices were soo high that it was not worth it.. The quantity served was sooo poor that it did not match the expectation of the price... The hookah was very well served though.. The only and the biggest prb is the price of the food.. Please have a review on it..

Loved this place.<br/>Their food presentation is perfect and the ambienceis just too perfect and their famous school where every sitting place of the bar or the sheesha place is name according to school for example the store room is called the principal room and I literally likes to place the food taste was perfect and they also have some speciality like the popcorn motor which is literally seriously different and their signature also overall really enjoyed the place the music and would like to visit it again

The place serves unique cocktails which are definitely worth a try. We had 'he wants what she wants' , 'in a relationship'. Apart from those, we had their chilly chicken bao, pepperoni pizza, mojito, beer and whiskey. The ambience is quite nice and the staff is very courteous and helpful.

A really nice gastropub. I was happy with their food, music, hookah, and ambience. I highly recommend this spot to everyone. Especially for live music.

Even before taking booking some mr. basant said u will have to leave before a specific time. Why would we come to your restuarant when u dont care abt your clients
