Yesterday we had our brunch in this serene atmospheric cafe. The vibes of it are perfect for anytime. It's located just beside the street but noise are far less here. Some good melodies were playing when we had our time there. And it had some good books in its stacks. A pretty good wall graphiti was there about the nostalgic Calcutta. Enough of the environment now coming to their actual charm - Foods. They have plenty of options to try on. We had One Fish kabiraji which came with a large amount. ( If you have in mind to try other dishes , you can easily share this one as half with your partner . ) The fish in the stuffing are of generous amount - juicy and and just perfect of grilling ( not too soft not too hard ). As we also had 2 plates of Veg Spaghetti Bolognese ( which was also of pretty quantity) , we ordered only 1 fish kabiraji. The Bolognese was very creamy with a perfect punch sweet, salt and veggies. Price - Fish Kabiraji - ₹280 ( 1 piece ) Veg Spaghetti Bolognese - ₹180 ( per plate ) . So overall a good experience Service was also good. Yes we had to wait a little bit but those mouth melting foods justified the waiting just right!

My favorite place to go is a cozy cafe near where I live. It's a place I visit when I'm feeling down or just want to celebrate. I love their food, coffee, and fresh juices. The coffee is especially delicious, with unique blends and ingredients. It's become quite famous in our town. The cafe itself isn't very big, but it's charming and has a closed-off area where people can relax and enjoy their meals. I often go there when I have free time to listen to the background music. The seating arrangement is unique and comfortable. The staff are all friendly and know me by name, almost like friends. They're always welcoming, even when I just want to sit and relax. It's a place where I feel at home.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of Kolkata’s Park Street, there’s a cozy, understated café that stands apart from the fancy vibes of Flurys (though not too far in distance). While it may be underrated, its food speaks volumes. Think delicious English breakfasts, perfectly fresh grilled fish with lemon butter sauce, hearty chicken stew, and—uff—the prawn cocktail, a lingering delight! The menu is modest yet surprises with its distinctive flavors, all served with a warm smile. (We were served by Sunny, a gentleman in its true sense). If you’re in the Park Street area, this is one café you shouldn’t miss. “Highly Recommended”
