Excellent vlog. Spontaneous, uninhibited and lively ! Mr. Shahbaz's face is so expressive - it says it all - when he's enjoying the food and when he's not. And, I hope I've understood right, since this was not a promotional or invited vlog - those forced obligatory expressions and gestures of appreciation were not there - whatever there was - was natural. That Mr. Shabaz was a bit apprehensive and uneasy at the start of vlog while trying out the Chicken Mix Grill (probably doubting the presence of pork), that initially finding it a bit flat but slowly warming up to the taste, under the assurance and mild prodding of Mr. Arunabha, and enjoying the fare that followed, whole heartedly, - the gastronomic journey of the duo was a visual treat. Special mention - it was a delight to watch Mr. Shahbaz deciding upon ditching his knife and going for the Fish Liver Gin with his bare hands, (and finding it oily in the course) - with the simplicity of a child (I hope Mr. Shahbaz doesnt mind) who finds the cutlery unnecessarily bothersome while attacking his favourite dish. Just too good to watch. 😊 I've seen this place covered by other vloggers - Gypsy Bong and Good Food Bro, and enjoyed both the presentations, each different from the other and both different from today's presentation. It is simply amazing to observe how You guys manage to package and present the same thing differently to the same (more or less) audience base, and each vlogger unique and entertaining in his own sweet way ... Another special mention - the presence of Mr. Arunabha. It added maturity, brought in freshness and simply lifted the overall weight (well, in more ways than one 😊) and level of the vlog quite a few notches above Foodzpah's usual level, which as it is, is quite high, by any standard. Congratulations. Keep it up.
Your comment did bring a smile on my face. You’ve also put in a lot of observation, thought & efforts into typing this down. I’m pinned this to the top. 😊
New Cathay used to be our go-to spot in childhood after every shopping trip to New Market. I always admired its ambience and lofty high ceilings. My father knew the waiters and managers by name. One of the managers was even a well-known poet from Howrah. My father would order his drink while I, being underage, could only watch. Photikchand (as I called Arunabha) and I are nearly the same age, he’s a year older. We spent time together at family gatherings and shared occasions, often getting up to mischief. From a young age, we would secretly sneak beer or drinks from the store. Time has flown, and our lives have taken separate paths. Watching this video brought back a flood of childhood memories, both of New Cathay and of Photikchand.
My best episode of foodzpah. A true glimpse of my younger days. New day pubs never ever match up to these standards. Please add similar sessions on Broadway chung wah green palace etc. Really looking forward for all those
Really enjoyed this concept. Its been really long people looked down upon after- work drinking but its such a common concept in the west. People enjoying a couple of drinks after a hard days of work needs to be normalised and not looked down upon. Thanks for encouraging that concept and not attaching more stigma to it.
The first and the last time I dined at New Cathay was on 8 November 2016. And as we were in the midst of our dinner, there came that announcement which stunned the nation --- of demonetisation !!!!! And I said to myself... never again at Cathay !! 😃 ( Wasnt the involvement of the restaurant in any way of course ) 😊😃 However after watching the Fish Liver Gin, Liver on Toast and Mutton Potato Chop ( Calcutta Club makes something similar --- absolutely outstanding) , I may have to change my decision and go back to have these items which looked really good. 👍👍
Uffff 15yrs aagey phirey gelam….shoddo college pass out …notun chakri…officer senior ra niye geachhilo 1st time …tar por bohu bar gechhi …. Thanks mone korea dewar jonney….bohu kaal jawa hoy ni bohu kaal… Jabo abar 🙌🏼
They used to do an amazing - and I ,mean really amazing - lamb chops at one time. I have taken friends there to try it and they all agreed it was the best lamb ( actually mutton) chops they had . But the dishes you showed looked fantastic too. I must try them soon. thanks guys! Look forward to seeing more like this!

কতো স্মৃতি মনে পড়ে গেলো। তার মধ্যে প্রথম হচ্ছে, ক্লাস টেনে এখানে গিয়ে বিয়ার খাওয়ার চেষ্টা করেছিলাম পুজোর সময়, কিন্তু আন্ডারএজ বলে দেয়নি 😂। ওদের ক্যান্টনিস নুডলস টা আমার ফেভারিট।এলকোহলের দাম মোটামুটি স্ট্যান্ডার্ড।
Excellent Presentation. आप ने ये ब्लॉग बनाके कोलकाता की याडे ताजा करदी..... दादा आप ने...... i worked so many places in India..... but kolkata is ultimate.... khoob bhallo
in kolkata specialy in Theatre Road one lovely Food joint called Aanna Ras... and they had one branch in bhavanipur. it's a famous veg Gujrathi point . please make a veg blog
New Cathay Bar and restaurant, I have seen many a time while walking down the Grand arcade but never went inside. I imagined it would be dingy, full of people talking loudly kind of a bar( may be heavily smoky when smoking was permitted). Never really imagined it being so decent and commodious inside! It's huge. Food looked different and tasty especially in their unique ' livery'😂( pun intended). Interesting joint.
Is this standard in Kolkata? Everywhere I order gin snd tonic, they give me gin, tonic water and ice separately and no lemon etc unless asked for. Make it, put it in a wide glass and put it before me. Not sure what is happening
I think new cathay is not at all a good place to hang out, price is a bit high compared to the arrangements. It's not coz m a non drinker but the staff behaviour is not upto the mark. Office para bar for me best suits manthan songhai at Waterloo street. It's my go to place comparative cheap, food quality is good, ambience is also cool. Pls shahbaaz da ekbar jeo, ami tomake host korbo!

Superb.. Will definitely explore here..
Absolutely 👍🏼 amazing 😻 yummy 😎
😄
Nice video and good vlog 😊😊
Thanks ✨
Good to see Arunava Da, after long time😊😊
Thank you brother 😊
Old memories refreshed. Try and visit Damurs at Radha bazaar ( if they are still there) for the grilled chicken
Damurs doesn't exist 😢
You should have tried Mutton roast.. with garlic bread. Its amazing
I tried here lots....delicious food...nice vlog
Thank you ✨
Lovely
Ami ekhane khetam age Esplanade a shopping korte giye. Food is fantastic 😋
I went there in 2015. Had a drink and Chicken 65.
Etodin tomar video dekhchhi, but kakhono comment korini..aj khub bhalo laglo because mod khub bhalobasi...ami ekjon meye...abar hochho to dada?
You should have tried Chinese from here. It's Chinese is one of my favorite
I appreciate Shahbaz avoiding alcoholic drinks.
Kasturi kebab is also one of their signature dish. Also you will find one of the best egg fried rice in town.
They mentioned some Kakori kebab, but we weren’t in the mood for kebabs that day, so we stuck with continental.
Is this standard in Kolkata? Everywhere I order gin snd tonic, they give me gin, tonic water and ice separately and no lemon etc unless asked for. Make it, put it in a wide glass and put it before me. Not sure what is happening
Great Content.
Chilly prawn & their kakori ekbar u missed ...one of their signature dish .
Will definitely try next time. Thank you for the suggestion ☺️
I love breezer😊
Dharmatala ke ki technically office para bola jae? But New Cathay no doubt ekta iconic watering hole from back in the day.
Good
i just could never understand how is beans carrots combo occupying the veg-space!!aren't these salad items?
They go well with meat and fish, especially if you are ordering continental items...they were boiled and tossed with butter.
@arunavamajumdar9547 ok; but even in India, under the garb of mix veg, people are offering carrot + beans + potato! That's painful.
Breezer ta besi strong.😂😂😂
Dada breezer e alcohol thake na? I thought you're a teetotaler.
Story ache, will share sometime on a vlog if more people wish to hear.
Dada...subscribed you channel today...gr8 content 😊
Prithibi te tomar moto lok o ache dada..... Je bar review kore doodh kheye....😂
