Alibaba Restaurant

One of the oldest cafés of South Kolkata running since almost 70 years, this place has those beautiful cabin style seating arrangements. We tried their signature dish Chicken Afghani. It had a sweet unusual vegetable gravy which I didn't like much. Along with this, we had Fish Finger which they served with compulsory salad and kashundi.

Came in on a rainy hot summer evening with an old friend on 16th July 2022. Don't expect much out of the ambience as this is an old cabin, they still managed to improve the outer seating part and make it look decent but the innermost seating where you have those cabins are not very well maintained. The marble top tables are getting black, floors eroded with regular footfall and slow fans to make you feel hot in the summer. Coming to the food, we got Veg Fried Rice, Chilli Chicken and a Fish Fry. Veg Fried rice (6/10): Decent quantity, enough for 1 person, but not enough for sharing with another unless you're a light eater. Lacked flavour of the fried rice. Rs 90 Chilli Chicken (8/10): Very Good. Tasty, a bit sweet, soft and fresh chicken and sizes were decent. Gravy was good tok, with some veggies. Fish Fry(7/10): They over-fried it and made it black-ish. Thus, killed the flavour of the fish. They give complimentary papad with the fish fry. Service is a bit slow for the cabin parts as they place is understaffed, but still as per the price, it gets the work done.

Old style restaurant, quality of food is quite good and it's is reasonable as well.

Food was really great at this place, we liked the fish, chicken kobiraji & moglai parotas most. Quantity is good and price is also affordable. I will recommend this restaurant to all, please go with family, friends & enjoy the food.

'Sangu Valley' is a very traditional, famous and popular place at Bhawanipur area. It is one of the finest cabin of Kolkata, running over more than 80 years. It is a perfect and pocket friendly place for small or medium gang of people, students to hangout with their friends as well as spend quality time with your beloved one. Few days back I had visited this place. It is located at Bhawanipur just beside Purna Cinama hall, near the petrol pump and just few minutes walking distance from Bhawanipur Police station. • Ambience of this place is very nice with beautiful decorations and also have old cabin style sitting arrangement. • This cabin is spacious and they have seating arrangement of more or less 60 people at once. • I had tried their Mutton Afgani along with paratha and Chicken Cutlet. • 'Mutton Afgani' :- By looking the recommended items in review at verious places, I had tried Mutton Afgani. And the taste was just Fabulous. It had a large size mutton cutlet which tossed in spicy gravy with lots of vegetables. Cutlet was made by shredded mutton keema. And the gurnishing of the Plate was so good. Overall It was too much drooling and flavourful. Must try this. • 'Paratha' : Along with Mutton Afgani I had tried Paratha. Their paratha was totally different from other restuarant. Paratha was totally fried in deep oil and large in size. It was so so soft and so tasty. Along with Afgani it was a perfect match. • 'Chicken Cutlet' : As it is a famous cabin so I had also tried their Chicken Cutlet. The taste of Chicken Cutlet was awesome. It served with different things. Along with cutlet they served Mustard Sause and Papad . Mustard sauce was quite common with cutlet or fry but Papad with cutlet was different combination and it was not bad. It was good to have with cutlet. • Quantity and quality of each item was enough and upto the mark. Service is so fast and staffs are courteous and helped us to choose the right item. Clean and m well maintained till now. Prices are appropriate according to the quality and quantity of food. • I had a great experience here. This place is truly good. Do visit there to have a lovely time with great food at pocket pinch price.
