The service is very slow. They don't have much waiters as a result the wait time is long. Coming to food the special chilly chicken and mustard chicken is kind of must there. The fish finger is good compared to the price but taste is ok. There was issue with the dessert brownie as it was burnt but they did change it so no complaint.
I visited this place recently after almost 20 years. My dad had got me here a few times back as a 11 year old and I loved eating the fish fingers here along with chicken starters while he use to take his whiskey. Now, I'm the one who was overwhelmed with the kingfisher on tap along with my friend and add to that the chicken with kasundi mustard, burnt garlic chicken, and a spicy fish starter that really made this a memorable outing. All these years later, and Broadway still maintains an aura that defines Kolkata's food and drinks legacy that's hard to match.
I went there for the live performance but unfortunately there was no performance today, at least not while I was there. The food and the drinks were good. The only downside I found that you have to share a table if the place is over crowded. But that is a great opportunity to meet new people if someone is extrovert. Also you have to smoke outside.
