Santa's Fantasea Golpark

We have tried tribal food. We were lucky that at that time a tribal food festival was ongoing, so we ordered a tribal menu combo and we enjoyed it a lot. The combo was enough for 2 people. The bamboo chicken was delicious and the ambience was pure. There was a group of young college students performing at that time when we were visiting and we enjoyed their music a lot.
We were welcomed with welcome drinks which were complementary. The staff were very polite.

I went here with a friend. There was a Tribal Food Festival going on, so we got a special menu along with the regular one. The food was delicious. The hospitality was too good. At the end of it all, they gave us a paan too :D
Great experience. Will visit again surely.

Excellent restaurant within budget, one of the best in tribal cuisine.
I am updating my review from 3 stars to 5 stars for my recent visit after 1 year.

Service:

Service is the most important aspect of dining, at least for me. Santas Fantasea has improved considerably since last year (this was the reason I gave 3 stars). Earlier the wait time was too long but now we received all three starters within 5 minutes, same with the main course.
The staff is very courteous and friendly, improvement here too.

Starters:
Oriental Star Octopus:
Soft, not too spicy. Very good in taste. Improvement here once again as last time, the octopus meat was rubbery.

Smoked chilli fish:
Soft and juicy. The sauce is moderately spicy. Bhetki would have been better.

Teriyaki chicken:
Best of the three. Tender and juicy with smokey flavour. Melts in the mouth. Too good.

Main course:
Jadoh Rice:
If you want to taste something different from normal fried rice recipes, then go for it, you will not be dissatisfied. A little bit spicy, bit of smokey, mixed with minced mutton. Quantity is more than enough for two.

Bansh pora mutton:
Again a restaurant special item, everyone talks about it. I would have liked a bit softer pieces of mutton and a little less masalas. The flavour of mutton is masked when you put more masalas.

Patra pora:
Quite a revelation. Totally unexpected. It was like mutton paturi. Smokey mustard on mutton. Too good, loved it.

Dessert:
Here comes the best part. It totally compensates for the little bit of displeasure I mentioned earlier.

Tihou kheer(onion)
Chameen kheer(prawn)

I was a bit sceptical, but thoroughly enjoyed both the dishes. Try both and take a challenge to find out the correct names of the two. Doesn't feel like eating onion and prawn at all. You will get a slight hint as an after taste. Mind blowing innovation.

Footnote: Me and my friends enjoyed the dining a lot, some new experience with fusion food. Thanks for the gift. We really appreciate your courtesy.
