Reviews Summary

"Awesomely delicious food especially for vegetarians!

Easy to choose from menu of fixed Thalia

Quick service and efficient staff.

All the items tasted good and relished the meal.

The beetroot cutlet and pomegranate raita were outstanding"

Sang Sha Sum - The Gain Enabler

"The food and the service was very sumptuous. The taste was impeccable, for the first time I discovered that vegetarian options can be delicious too! The presentation was well executed as well. Service was excellent too.

But there are two "icks" that I would like to point out:
1. Please hand out the warm towels individually. For us personally, as three of us were dining together, the towels were given altogether and by the time the last person finished, the towels were cold. Not something significant but has a scope of improvement.

2. Please for the love of god don't put a TV in the dining space, especially just adjacent to the table. It was really irritating. I like to dine in peace and a cricket match going on just 2 ft away from my eyes was really not something I liked. Others may find it appealing but I didn't. Also, since we were the only ones dining at that particular time, our request to switch it off could probably have been entertained I believe."

Aneek Mandal

"Loved the detail on the table setting, food display and thali presentation. Taste was good but felt too rich and satiating over being fresh and light. Service was good but slow. Loved the option of having a seasonal thali so you can have what’s traditionally recommended for the season."

A vegetarian’s guide to Kolkata

Royal Vega in ITC Royal Bengal does justice to its name, with truly regal menus that are designed around the six seasons, or ritus, of the country and in keeping with Ayurvedic principles. They are even Satwik-certified by the Satwik Council of India. While the word Satwik (meaning virtuous, pure and ascetic) is often in contrast to Rajashik (regal), two of their popular perennial tasting menus are princely in nature—the Ranjit Khasa and the Sheherwali Khasa.

Calcutta Food Guide

Royal Vega - At the ITC, all vegetarian, apparently takes inspiration from the Sheherwali Jains of Bengal (the only other place I know of where this cuisine is commercially available is at Bari Kothi near Murshidabad). I ate at the Royal Vega in Chennai and wasn’t enthusiastic about it (and generally I’m a big fan of the ITC restaurants), well executed but mostly uninteresting “shahi” type food, but I’ve heard good things about the Calcutta branch and the local influences make it intriguing (also, my meal at the Chennai branch was in 2016 so I’m open to giving it another shot). I wanted to go on my trip but was too enamored with Bengali food to give it a shot.
