Places
1.Hatari, Gariahat
30 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/kolkata
Hatari is one of the most frequently recommended Chinese restaurants in Kolkata, with many people naming it their top pick, and three commenters singling out the Gariahat branch. Diners recommend dishes such as chicken hakka noodles with a garlic-chicken side and lamb with fried rice, and it also gets mentions for biryani and North Indian food. The caveats: one diner who ordered several times says the food never lived up to its reputation, another feels the Gariahat branch has declined since around 2015, and one commenter notes that Chinese food in general can taste different as a parcel than when eaten in, because the gravy tends to break up in transit.
