Heard this name for quite sometime but somehow never managed to visit this eatery until 15th May when i dropped in for dinner with a friend. They have around four outlets in Kolkata however i visited the one in Saltlake (FE-12, Sector - 3) opposite Central Park. Adequate parking space (free to use - not owned by the restaurant) available for both two and four wheelers.
Decor and ambience: What immediately attracted my attention, once i stepped in was the beautiful decor of the restaurant - it was minimal yet aesthetic and most importantly goes with the cuisine they were serving. Well lit, bright colours with attractive wall paints and relevant posters made the ambience feel authentic along with the wooden chairs and table adding to the overall steak house look..
Food and service: I strongly believe no matter how good the decor and ambience might be at any eatery - the real game changer is and will always remain the quality of food and service it provides. The Steak Factory - i have no qualms in admitting is an hands down winner in that respect.. Along with the beautiful decor and an authentic steakhouse ambience, the eatery just wows you with the quality of food and courteous service. The service was prompt and the attendants were courteous - small but important details like filling the glass on their own with drinking water as and when required without being called upon just left no rooms for complaints. They had thorough knowledge of the items and their ingredients and explained the same as and when requested by us. Over all, they gave us a friendly vibe and even took note of the feedback regarding the food on a very serious note. We were not in a mood for starters that evening and thus directly went for the kill - ordered SURF & TURF STEAK and PORK CHOP STEAK..
1. SURF & TURF STEAK - A catchy name pointing out to a delicious steak comprising of tiger prawns, beef, mashed potato, sauteed vegetables and barbecue sauce. The presentation was great. Tiger prawns were average size wise but tasted great. The generous portion of beef (well made as per request) was the high point of the dish undoubtedly - it was yummy and very easy to bite unlike similar beef steaks at other places. The mashes potato tasted pretty well too. The barbecue sauce added to the flavour and was a worthwhile addition to the dish. If i really have to point out one flaw, it would be the sauteed vegetables served along with the steak - they were almost half cooked - might be an aberration.
2. PORK CHOP STEAK: Yet another delicious steak however this was in the pork territory comprising of a generous portion of pork chop marinated in red sauce, french fries and sauteed vegetables.. The pork chop was again very well made and was a delight to gorge on in terms of taste.. The red sauce marination added to the overall taste.. The french fries were crispy enough and the caramelised onions made the taste buds happy however the only flaw in the dish is similar to the one above - the sauteed vegetables were again half cooked unfortunately..
DESSERT: INSTANT HANDMADE MANGO ROLL ICE CREAM - This was certainly like an icing on the cake. The words " Instant " and " Handmade" prompted us to go for this desert in the first place and what a delicious experience that was!! The Mango crepes were super yummy and the taste became better and better as it melted gradually.. The slight sprinkling of strawberry sauce on top of the mango rolls added an unique blend to the overall taste.. Hands down, one of the best desserts that i have tasted in a long time..
We were happy to see a check of around eight hundred bucks only which just made us even more happier after an awesome dinner.. The portion served were more than sufficient and the pocket pinch at the end was certainly economical - what more does one need from a dinner!! Looking forward to my next visit already..
Verdict: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
P.S: Will be back soon with more reviews.. Stay glued..
