Visited this place along with my best friend and was quite amazed at the ambience and hygiene of this place! They are conveniently located besides Mani Square, Kankurgachi and are a part of the Visitel hotels!
For starters, we ordered Crispy babycorns – just one word – perfect! Perhaps, one of the best babycorns we ever had – crispy, less spicy, excellent on presentation and very tasty of course – garnished with spring onions!
Since the babycorns served were so huge in quantity, we were literally full after eating it and thus, had no option to go for something very light for the main course – a veg biryani with raita and salads! This was also nice but portion size could have been better! Also, raita was a little bitter – however, the complimentary onion salad, papads and mint chunney made it up for us!
They also served us a complimentary pastry, which was an excellent gesture from the management!
Service is flawless, prices are reasonable (considering that they are a 3 star property and also the excellent experience they provide) and I give them 5 stars, a recommendation and several hugs and re-visits!
Many thanks to the management for maintaining such high standards in the hospitality industry!

Saptami afternoon in search of good food I went to Mani Square, where a bunch of restaurants are present. But in the mood of Durga Puja there were long queue in every other restaurant, also the prices were double to triple than usual.
To ignore the crowd I visited Visitel that is located just a few steps away from Mani Square. Surprisingly this place wasn't crowded and we just walked in and got a table. I found that they were serving the cheapest Bengali Buffet in Durga Puja at only Rs.570 where in other places the range was varying from Rs.900 - 2000.
Ambiance
--------------------
Soul Kitchen has very simple and classy ambiance but with with Dhaker music and simple decoration they extended the experience.
Staffs and Management
--------------------------------------------
Staffs were polite and helpful. Even in these busy days they were professional enough to ask for feedback.
Here's what was present on their special Durga Puja menu...
Welcome Drinks
-------------------------------
Ghol (3.5/5)
Gandhraj Lebur Sarbot (5/5)
Usually buffet at most places comes with only 1 welcome drink but here they served two that also was unlimited. Ghol was quite natural but Gandhraj Lebur Sarbot was just unbelievably good.
Salad, Pickle and Chaat Counter
--------------------------------------------------------
Chutney’s | Kuler Tok | Aamsatta Khejurer Chutney | Amrar Ambal | Plastic Chutney | Aamer Chuney Salads | Green Salad | Fruit Chaat | Aam Kasundi | Cous Cous Salad Yogurt | Tok Doi
Lot's of Chatni and Salads were present to choose, I took Plastic Chutney and Aamsatta Khejurer Chutney with dessert that tasted good.
Pickle, Papad and Bhaja Counter
----------------------------------------------------------
Pickles | Mix pickle | Appalam papad |Chingri Papad | Sabudana Papad | Aloo Papad | Aloo Jhuri Bhaja | Begun Bhaja | Patal Bhaja | Bori Bhaja | Lal Saag Bhaja | Karala Bhaja
Again lots of Papad and fries were present to choose from, I took everyone's favourite Aloo Jhuri Bhaja and Begun Bhaja that tasted really good. But I was seriously missing Luchi with Begun Bhaja that they didn't served.
Starter
----------------
Mochar Chop (3/5)
Kumro Phuler Bora (2.5/5)
Mangsher Chop (4/5)
Gandhraj Fish Tikka (4.5/5)
Fish Tikka was just superb with the punch of Gandharaj Lemon. Pices were big and soft like cotton balls. Mangsher Chop was tasty too but Mochar Chop and Kumro Phuler Bora could've been better.
Main Course
--------------------------
Sada Bhat
Lau Chingri
Bhaja Moong Dal
Aloo Jhinge Posto
Karaishutir Dhokar Dalna
All traditional essential Bengali items tasted like home made.
Thakur Bari Pulao (1/5)
Golbarir Kosha Mangsho (3.5/5)
Kacha Lanka Diye Murgir Jhol (3/5)
Mourala Macher Bati Chorchori (3/5)
Only bad item in this buffet was the Pulao, actually it wasn't really Pulao. They added Beetroot in the Pulao and unfortunately made it taste really bad in place of sweet and aromatic. Mourala Chorchori could've been better. Apart from that Chicken and Mutton both were great.
Dessert selection
---------------------------------
Rasgulla | Sandesh | Patishapta | Misti Doi | Nolen Gurer Ice-Cream Misti Pan
These traditional Bengali desserts were just perfect to end this buffet. Only the Misti Doi was bit spoiled but they changed that instantly when we asked them.
Conclusion
-----------------------
Didn't thought this place would be so good, specially for only Rs.570. Food quality and service was great. Only disappointment was that they didn't served Luchi or any kind of Bread in the buffet that could've made it 5 star.

So visited soul kitchen last month which is just inside visitel hotel kolkata. This is basically visitels personal restaurant where you will get amazing food includes buffet. Loved the full ambience, it's basically have large space with amazing decorations. Loved the food & hospitality the most.
•Seemed quiet good in the budget and the dishes tasted great too.
•The ambience and atmos was pleasant and way too quiet ( My suggestion is to play a music in the background ) .
•All the staffs were well behaved and mannered.
•The location is just 2 3 mins walk from salt Lake stadium metro just adjacent to Apollo hospital.
***But the dishes varieties were limited, could have added a 1 or 2 varieties of rice or tandoori. And ice cream was missing as well.
•The reservation was completely hassle free.
•Points to ponder - Buy voucher from Nearbuy app(don't redeem it unless you r having the meal and can be used within a month anyday), as I had got discount in my next meal. Book or reserve a table directly from map via Dineout a day in advance.
And that's it. Tell them you have got a reservation and got a voucher with you. Nothing else needed . Have fun with your meal.

One of the most underrated buffet restaurants of Kolkata. Buffet at 550 rupees in a 3star hotel. Visitel hotel❤️
It's situated just next to Apollo Gleneagles hospital, Kakurgachi.
The ambience is very good and calm. It's much better than the quality and taste of the food.
Staff behaviour was good, but service was very much slow. Took 25 min to refill the chicken items.
The lunch buffet cost 550 rupees per person, check Nearbuy app for details. We got the buffet at 300 rupees(per person) because we had 250 rupees coupons from our previous purchase on that app. So better use the Nearbuy app next time 😎😉. They also have breakfast and dinner buffet.
In the buffet menu, there were-
*Hot and Sour Chicken Soup (very delicious, one of the best soups ever had in a buffet 😋)
Appetizers-
*Cheese Ball (perfect cheese pull, nice taste😌)
*Daal bora (average)
*Chili chicken (good ❤️)
*Salad bar- Green Salad, Raita, Achar, Papad
Main course-
*Veg Au Gratin ❤️
*Jeera rice (not properly cooked)
*Indian bread- Tandoori rooti/Naan/Butter naan
*Yellow Dal
*Aloo goobi masala
*Paneer Butter masala ❤️
*Sorshe fish (delicious)
*Chicken kasha (tasted good 👍)
Desserts-
*Chocolate Brownie (average)
*Angoori gulab jamun (worthless)
*Caramel custard (below average)
[**Dessert section needs much more improvement]
P.S- They charged us 76 rupees for a 1 litre mineral water bottle (normal 20 rupees aquafina) with GST🌚
Overall rating-
Food: 3.5/5
Price: 3/5 (choose the buffet option, a la carte costs much more, but same food quality as buffet)
Ambience: 5/5
Hospitality: 5/5
Overall nice experience. Just don't come here with expectations for the buffet. Then, you will feel good, as it's a pocket friendly buffet. 😉
Nice, quaint place. Not much to talk about ambience or decor, but the interiors go easy on the eye and look nice. The place is good for a quick bite and quick chat - prices seem reasonable, compared to the pricehounds in the region. Food ranges from okay-ish to good. We tried a chicken pizza and a chicken pasta in mixed sauce, both of which were good, but not anything remarkable. By the way, you can sit outside on a little lawn too.
Lack of Soild starters like kebabs and dry chilly chicken is a big turndown. At this price range you expect kebabs and dry chilly chicken. And lack of non veg Chinese item. Otherwise everything is a plus.
Amazing food, especially fish fingers in starters, service is excellent lovely staff very friendly and warm behavior, although few things need to improve:
1. Biryani mutton needs to be more tender and choice of cut should be better very boney pieces.
2. Desserts need to improve in terms of quality.
Will be back for more 😋😋😋😋!
A very underrated pace to say the least. The food was surprisingly tasty. It was evident that the chicken patty inside the burger was freshly made unlike a frozen patty you get in any CCD. The regular coffee was tasty as well. Definitely a second visit is in the cards.
Been there for breakfast buffet recently, I would rate this restaurant above average in terms of quality and taste. The breakfast buffet cost 250+taxes, which has options like juice, tea, omelette, upma, bread, dosa ,etc. The ambience is good and one can have unlimited buffet in the morning.
The food is good, takes little time to serve as they make everything fresh, from scratch. Should focus more on cleaning. Tables were not clean today, wasn't feeling good to keep hands on it, might be due to rush. Staff is friendly and polite.
This is located just outside the Apollo Glenagles Hospital, Kolkata where you can come for a quick party.But for obvious reasons its always filled with Hospital stafss and friends and family members of the Hospital patients. They have many items to offer along with Thalis. The staff is very professional and courteous. However service is slow.
We had chicken sandwich, vada sambadh, samosa chat, tea and cold coffee. All the items were decent (but not great) .To me price seemed justified but that's everyones personal opinion. May be I wont visit the Cafe just to have food, but if I go to Hospital and I am hungry - definitely I will stop over there.
Found a gem at by pass road, this cafe is located next to Apollo hospital. Totally a idol place if you are looking for something nice and quite.
Food is worth the money, and amibence is totally mood lifting. Staffs are really polite and friendly. They serve you at your best.
