Alfresco

Right from stater to desert, everything was superb, and the buffet is reasonably priced.
The spread is moderate. Taste is good. Service is excellent.

Have ala carte dinner.
Food quality is just ok. Plenty of space for improvement. Please think why should someone choose this place over resturant for food.
Bathroom is dirty. Needs more frequent cleaning and proper maintainance.
Staff is very good. Cooperative.

Great ambiance. Food was good (chicken tikka starter & potato wedges stood beyond our expectations, the mutton kebab was ok.) Variety of drinks and food options to choose from for veg & non-veg people.

The hospitality and service was ok ok. The staff was really not into service standards and had no information on what is available or not. Don't know if it was particularly just on that day or its an in general behaviour. You can visit if you dnt care about how efficiently & quickly does the staff serves to your request and needs at the restaurant. Overall its a place you should visit atleast once. Enjoy with friends and familys

Surprise visit this resort with my office staaffs. We are enjoying lot. Everything was good. No words. Nice place and beautiful ackmosphire. All the staffs are welcoming politely.

Good for family and friends to dinner good surrounding place.food quality and quantity is good.

The mose delicious food is served by the good servant. And very piece ful atmosphere.very joyful place each and every person must visit that restaurant

Had gone for buffet dinner alongwith family on 9th august.amazing experience.food was very deliscious.as expected of lalit group.but what was really touching was the amazing personalised service.it is an example as to what hospitality industry should function.great host.other five star hotels of kolkata should learn from them where the service is either disinterested and indifferent as in taj bengal or artificial as in jw marriot.here the service is extremely warm and hospitable but non intrusive.each and every personnel in the resturant deserves a bow from us.thank you for making our evening very special

A wonderful Heritage hotel. Loved the ambience. Loved the food. Loved everything. Buffet Lunch is 1500 + tax and Dinner is 1600 + tax for all 7 days of the week. If u want you can also have Ala Carte menu. It is a Heritage hotel. Simply loved it.

Located at Old Court House Street, Dalhousie, Lalit Great Eastern is one of the front runners of 5 star category hotels in Kolkata. Alfresco is located at the ground floor of Lalit. Calm, cozy, classy & comfortable environment. Staffs are very very courteous. Foods & drinks are delicious, specially the dessert section. Perfect 5 star experience.

The place is good.
Food quality good.
Staff behaviour is very good and very helpful.
It's good for dinner.
Number of food item as per the tariff is very minimum
Hayatt and other have more number of menu in this range.

Had breakfast here and loved it. The staff was helpful and courteous. Would love to go back again.

The food quality was not upto the mark what yesteryear's Great Eastern used to have. The service of the attendents was not acceptable. He was pressing to complete our lunch quickly as another booking was there.not justified. Was the buffer for any specific group. Utter dissatisfaction

Alfresco is one of the restaurant in The Lalit Great Eastern, situated at the heart of the city, very close to Esplanade.

We opted for the dinner buffet, upon reaching were greeted by the staff cordially. The service was quite sloppy, as we had to wait for 15 mins to get appetizers served and they did not serve the unlimited softdrink as per Dine in and main course was missing Mutton.

But rest everything was a 5 experience. The food was absolutely stunning. Every single one of them, top notch in quality, taste and served hot.
The internal decor of this place is a joy for your eyes, neat and clean and well maintained.

Commonly used for complimentary meals.
Breakfast or evening snacks would be better near small water pond.

While in the afternoon sun will be visible with the transparent roof.

Quality of food is not upto the mark except the desert. The staffs lack in experience and not suitable for a star hotel.

The food was so so.but the restaurant is not being maintained at all.the couches look very old.and saggy.please give a second thought before visiting!

Went there to celebrate my parents anniversary. Was not satisfied with the menu at the buffet section. Very limited options for main course. There was absolutely no complementing dishes in the main course section. One cannot possibly be expected to have Chinese noodles with some authentic bengali mutton side dish. I would not be going back anytime soon as long as the current menu stays in place. Dessert section was the only saving grace but still with very limited options

Calm, cozy and comfortable environment, quality and taste wise excellent, but can expand on the spread. Overall vert good experience.

A part of The Lalit Great Eastern Hotel.
The staff is outstanding with great hospitality and patience, hope they maintain this throughout the coming years

Breakfast buffet was not much to write home about. In fact they should add some Bengali items in breakfast also. More focus on South Indian dishes.

Overall it was was very nice experience for all of us, a more or less perfect Christmas brunch anyone can get. Would recommend for a pleasant afternoon meal!

Courteous staff, freshly made parata and others dishes can be ordered. Good spread of options.

Food was really good, homely mutton curry was bit fade in taste but that is ok. Continental dish was ok.
Soup and starter we ordered were superb.
Very well behaved staffs.
Very calm and bright ambience.

Disappointing. Extremely disappointing restaurant for a good hotel.
I have eaten better and tastier Indian and western food elsewhere, both in restaurants and hotels. Plenty of options missing from the menu that already has not much variety.
Even poorer was the service: takes you 10 minutes to receive the menu (in form of the QR code), another 10 to be able to place the soft drinks order (that apparently is not placed by the waiter for another 10 minutes with the kitchen/bar), then you might be able to place your order for food, if one of the managers does not divert the waiter from your table.
This is a joke, not a restaurant.

Very nice ambience, people are very well behaved, nice hospitality, and really great tasty food, it's just awesome!

Exorbitant pricing for the food quality they serve. Worst food that I ever experienced in my life in a restuarant of a 5-star deluxe hotel. Need to improve their service and taste of the food, which were no where around the taste that 5-star hotel should have. Excessive high rates as compared to the poor food. One star is for the nice ambience the place have. Not at all recommended.

The buffet, on the whole, was satisfactory. The food was delicious and the service was very courteous. The ambience was quite good.

Ambience is really soothing and nice.food is tasty.option are less in a-la-carte but what we had was really good.

Been here round a few months lower back.residing at vintage court docket residence street, Dalhousie rectangular. Lalit wonderful eastern is a popular call in the 5-star category of accommodations. The restaurant Alfresco is positioned on the floor floor of Lalit.the ambience of this vicinity is a chic one. The staffs were courteous but the carrier became a touch sluggish.

Covid or no covid, they know how to keep their customers happy. The ambience, the food, all are superb.

It's one of the restaurants of Lalit Great Eastern hotel in BBD Bag, the famous office district of Kolkata. The restaurant is very long and open kind of thing with lots of day light during lunch time. The tables are placed with lot of places in between to very comfortably move around. Menu is huge with too many options. Staffs are very customer friendly and courteous. Service is reasonably fast.

The place is quite silent, and the service provided by Mr. Shankar singh was very good.in short experience was Fully luxurious ️️.

Buffet was average. The veg items were too good, but the non veg could improve. Need a few more items on dessert as well. Taste wise fresh n good

Awesome Chinese food. While the bengali food is also good but Indian and western food rule here. Must try

Loved it. Beautiful place to dine in. Food was awesome. Staffs were very very helpful and friendly. Buffet was lavish. N number of items to eat from. I seriously took 15 minutes to figure out what should i eat and what should i not. Totally worth. Will visit again soon. Alfresco u rock.

Alfresco has always had a bustling buffet scene. Despite many new fine-dining restaurants offering buffet menus, one of the most go-to places for brunch, lunch or dinner is Alfresco. Tucked away in the heart of the city, this is a calm and fabulous place to start your weekend with good eats.
One of the weekends, we walked in for a lavish dinner buffet to refresh our minds and pamper our taste buds after a sultry Sunday afternoon. The elegance and exquisiteness of the restaurant do not just impress but also expresses the grandeur of old Calcutta. Even though the ambience is very uplifting, the seating arrangements and comfort was displeasing and troublesome.
Despite our irritation for the seating arrangement, we enjoyed the impeccable service and scrumptious buffet spread laid across the centre of the restaurant.
This big cool-down to the scorching week was a delight. It is a smart venue, which is well suited for business meals. This place is contemporary and is indeed a luxury!

We had buffet lunch at 50% discount offer which was well worth the money paid The choice was vast and all dishes tasty. The desserts had a vide selection. But more importantly every request was catered to and the chef even went out of his way to have a special dessert made from almond milk for my wife who was on a Keto diet. Hats off. I highly recommend the Buffet.

The bakery and confectionary looked very tempting. Just had the chance to taste tyeir Mughlai dishes. Were good taste and served impeccably. Cutlery and Utensils were properly cleaned and polished. The Libby area us very attractive.

The Lalit Great Eastern Hotel (erstwhile Wilson’s Hotel) is very well tuned to luxury in all aspects except for the all day restaurant. Being a quintessential part of the heritage of Kolkata, why is the buffet so Vegetarian oriented?
Also, very limited culinary options for a full-scale buffet. Just not worthy of being listed in this hotel. Service is also not prompt at all with the staff being very inefficient and non-trained.
This kind of staff behaviour will not be tolerated and I strongly ask management to rectify the culinary options and training of staff members.

Mediocre buffet spread! Mediocre taste. Basic food items like biriyani and pastries tasted bad. Over priced.
Please avoid this place if u love food and want to taste a good variety of starters.

Had buffet lunch. Soup was good but food was a bit toned down. Range of food was good but except for few fish dishes I missed the authentic Bengali fish dish. Good collection of desserts. But felt it a bit expensive.

Good food with good environment and soft background music. Service is good. Waiters are polite. A variety of food available here. Anyone can enjoy here with family and friends.

Nice and cosy place with good ambience and clean interiors. Cooperative staff. The food quality is good if not the best. It is a bit costly for what it offers, but overall experience was great.

A nice experience, overally. The staff could be a bit more helpful - when asked for chocolate syrup, we had to wait for more than 5 minutes to get it. The dessert section could be extended.

Had buffet lunch and was amazingly nice. The ambience and the guest services are awesome on top of the rich taste of food.
