The Flying Monk is here in Kolkata to help you indulge in the gastronomic delights of the far east cuisine.Open for lunch (noon to 3.30pm) and dinner (6pm to 11.30pm), the 72- seater snazzy restaurant is a venture by GAMA Hospitality ( master franchise in the east for The Cream and Fudge Factory, Pizza Corner and Donut Baker). We provide all types of south-east asian cusines specially Chinese, Japanese, Singaporean, Taiwanese, Thai and Vietnamese. With upbeat lounge music, wooden beams, faux exposed - brick walls and quirky art inspired by tangrams ( Chinese puzzle made of seven flat pieces called tans), The Flying Monk has the posh feel of a winner. The restaurant has a veg and non-veg dim sum menu for the afternoons.Seafood lovers mustn't miss the Prawns and Crabmeat with almond flakes. The menu describes it as a seafood extravaganza, which surely isn't an over-statement. We wanted to offer more to the dessert lovers. Mousse, cheesecake, creme rulee, you can find them all over here. The Flying Monk is an experimental, well travelled monk, who introduces his menu with anecdotes and smart - alec comments, like "Why walk when you can fly?". Well why do anything else when you can eat, is what we'd like to say! The name of the restaurant conjures an image of a new-age monk who is fashionable and well travelled.The restaurant also uses special appliances and utensils, which not only enhance the taste and flavour of the food but also make the dishes low on oil.. For instance, the restaurant has a duck oven and a special appliance to prepare sorbets. The appliances have been specially imported from China, Hong Kong and the US. Ingredients such as herbs, sauces and spices are also imported. There are also pre-booking facilities offered by the restaurant for parties and other events. The Flying Monk has a pleasant ambiance. Lounge music plays at the restaurant. Wi-fi Internet facility is also available.The restaurant has a whole host of new recipes for the festive season. The Rice Paper Roll is a winner when it comes to starters. From the mains, we recommend the Sichuan Vegetables for vegetarians; while vegetarians must not miss out on the Burnt Garlic Butter Prawn.The primary motive is to give more options to the people of Kolkata where they can relax, enjoy Oriental cuisine and have a good time.while listening to, may be Budha Bar sip on delicious mocktails.Must try are the duck specialities, sticky rice dishes, the dimsums and the tofu steak. There is always something to look forward to. In case of The Flying Monk, sushi, valet parking and may be Saki.
