Amongst the hustle and bustle of oceanic offerings in the city, has sprung up Codfather — a fish and chips place to meet the demands of gen XYZ. Modelled on the fish and chips joints back in good ol' England, this one definitely reflects the attitude of its 20-something owner who returned home from the UK with ample food exposure, or so he claims. However, good restaurants are much more than just attitude... and Codfather has miles to go.
Decor
There is no pier here and no water to be seen. In a sleepy bylane of south Kolkata, this restaurant has a casual set-up of canary yellow and electric blue metal chairs, distressed wood furniture, shoals of fish on the walls and colourful glass hookahs. A peek into the see-through kitchen adds to its modernity, but the chalk and blackboard day's special goes classic. If the season permits, one can even use the pretty slice of patio seating.
Food
The menu is particularly focused! Needless to say, we don't expect much beyond fish and decide on jacket potato with cheese (`170), aioli prawn (` 435), Codfather special soup (`175), battered fish (beer batter) (`390, medium), farm house chicken pie (`455), fish pate (`365) and bake aubergine (`335).
Plus & Minus
The chunky jacket potato makes a surprise entry — smooth and grainy just with an ordinary smear of cheesy sauce. The special soup is nothing clear, rather high on cornflour, crammed with veggies with a salty pop of stringy cheese now and then. The succulent prawns of the aioli prawns keep the tastebuds happy, but is drowned in an overtly generous creamy sauce, again! The premier battered fish is a single fillet Kolkata bekti with a slight after taste. And though the batter does not look particularly reassuring and is a little oily in parts, there is plenty of crunch. And this comes with a bunch of old fashioned hand-cut chips, thank God. The fish pate is flaked fresh with cream, served on toast. The bake aubergine is a mishmash — thin slices of aubergine on a thick blanket of mash, tangy tomato concasse and can't-have-any-more creamy sauce. Finally, the chicken pie is the kind of comfort food we like digging into. Beyond the gratin of mashed potatoes, we find a huddle of tasty chicken bits, peppery to the palate.
