Great food. Very tasty and great value for money. It's also one of the best restaurant as well. The cuisine is different to everyday stereotypical Chinese food

This place serves South East Asian cuisine in a small but tending towards fine dining in the heart of South Kolkata. I came to know about this from Groupon and was pleasantly surprised. Food is excellent and service is also very good. Has a car parking too. It is near the Kalighat temple and devotees who feel hungry after the... More

Straits - one of the best restaurants i have been to in Kolkata. The ambience,decor,food - they excel in all these aspects. Their curries n crabs are to die for. A must visit for people who want to experience a Malay/chinese/singaporean cuisine. The place is a Gastronomical delight.

Straits offers a new cuisine to kolkata foodies and does not disappoint on any count. The variety of food, the taste factor and the service - exemplary. Singapore chilli crabs are a must try - nice big crabs in an yummy gravy. The food captures the essence of the malay region to a great extent. Try the different kinds of... More

I had been dying to go to place as I've practically lived on Malay curries for a good part of my last 5 years. I was extremely nervous as I was taking my parents and my brother-in-law along and they are a pretty tough crowd to please when it comes to experimenting with food. This was their first tryst with...

Went to Straits the other day with a bunch of friends, great location, homely ambiance , personalized service and mouth watering food.. It's gratifying to see that in a market full of restaurants with predictable and repetitive menus, there is a restaurant which stands out and says "I am Different" . Keep it up ... Will be back soon ...

Chowmein obsessed Kolkatans will be converted at this culinary address. You get the noodles, the meat, the seafood... but with a twist that will have you going back again and again. What's best on the menu? Difficult to choose. So let the chef take over. You just sit back and enjoy :)

This place highly accessible from all corners of Calcutta, and serves excellent food. If one is on doubt regarding what to order, take the help of chef or others. People are eager to help you, and can recommend food in accordance with your taste. If you are new to this kind of cuisine, try Mutton/lamb cooked in coconut gravy, lemon... More
