Kolkata's Park Street is food heaven for its people, housing various iconic eateries like Peter Cat, Moulin Rouge, Mocambo, Flury's, Trinca's, Barbeque, etc. Residents and visitors flock to the place to get a taste of authentic Anglo-Indian and Continental cuisine. Particularly during Christmas and New Year, Park Street is overflowing with people eager to participate in the revelry and celebrations.
Also for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries, Kolkata people love to go to Park Street for the ambience and experience it offers.
I am going to talk of one of the legendary eateries of Park Street - Mocambo.
Be prepared to wait however, before you get a table. The place is almost always full, and waiting time can range anything from fifteen to forty-five minutes. But people generally prefer to wait, for its specialty dishes and classy ambience.
It's old world charm and liveried waiters, coupled with cozy interiors and authentic Anglo-Indian cuisine take you to the British era.

Now for the menu. They have tandoori, Mughlai and Italian items along with the classic Continental Lobster Thermidor and Devilled Crabs.
But the thing they are absolutely great in is the sizzler. Their sizzlers, arriving crackling in a smoke of flavour and aroma, are really yummy. The Grilled Chicken Sizzler is particularly good. Fish Meuniere is good, though it could do with a little more quantity.

The Devilled Crab is nothing exceptional, as it's difficult to discern the taste of crab.
Mughlai items like Mutton Rogan Josh, Keema dishes, mixed tandoori kebabs, naan etc. are passable.
Go there to taste their steaks and sizzlers. Those are really exceptional. It will be worth the wait, I can assure you!
