We had an absolutely delightful experience at this charming little cafe, located on the third floor of a building right beside Santoshpur Lake. The minimal decor and cozy, homely vibe made the place feel warm and welcoming. We ordered: 1. Americano 2. Cafe Mocha 3. Peri Peri French Fries 4. Dry Lemon Pepper Chicken My friend, who had the Americano, found it impressive, while the Mocha I ordered was outstanding as well. Since I was craving something different from my usual Americano, it turned out to be the perfect choice — with just the right balance between the boldness of the espresso and the sweetness of the chocolate. The Peri Peri French Fries were irresistibly good. Crispy, generously portioned, and tossed in just the right amount of seasoning, making every bite addictive. But the true showstopper was the Dry Lemon Pepper Chicken. Tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor, it had the ideal zest of lemon beautifully balanced by the pepper. A must-try dish, without question. While prices lean slightly towards the higher side, the quality and taste fully justify them. The staff were warm, attentive, and courteous, adding to the overall experience. We'll definitely be back for more.

The ambience and decor of the cafe is top notch but homely. I tried Scotch egg and I found it mouth watering which you can hardly find in Kolkata. I also tried cold coffee which was perfect blend of coffee and ice. Really loved this cafe and also feel that it is must visit cafe.
