Ordered from their menu : 🔴 Aam-Panna - Rs. 95 A cool and a very soothing drink that will make you feel relaxed in a hot afternoon, the flavour of the raw mango is very subtle and it is very refreshing to drink. 🔴 Nawabi Kofta Bites (6pcs) - Rs. 285 Minced mutton is rolled into balls, and garnished with coriander and garlic. It is served with Gondhoraj Cream dip, which is a bit on the sweeter side and salad. This dish is available in Chicken also. 🔴 A Paratha Story - Rs. 305 (Highly recommended) The dish is a traditional dish that we Bengalis love to dip our hands in. This dish contains 2 parathas, Kosha Magsho and Imli Chutney. The parathas are prepared in ghee, and the mutton is well cooked and the pieces are very soft and succulent. The difference maker is the imli chutney which gives this dish a very unique taste. The other options you can go for is Kosha Chicken or if someone is vegetarian, you can go for Dum Aloo. 🔴 Grilled Chicken - Rs. 295 The whole dish contains a huge piece of grilled chicken, served with whole boiled potatoes, veggies and 2 Garlic Breads. In the sauces in which to prepare your dish, you can have 2 options i.e. Red Wine Reduction and Lemon Butter Marinade. This dish is very subtle in taste and you might find the chicken a bit bland but the sauces do the trick and dipping the garlic breads in the sauce and having them is an added bonus. You can also opt for Bhetki, if you like. 🔴 Daab Chingri Shots (8pcs) - Rs. 345 (highly recommended) Initially, it will feel like the usual Chingri Malaikari, the coconuty taste that we are all familiar, but slowly you'll realize, there is more than just the use of coconut milk. The prawns are cooked in a kasundi-like sauce and served in shot glasses. The presentation is very unique. My most favourite item in this whole lot. The sauce absolutely compliments the the prawns, must try. 🔴 The Verandah Meal For One - Rs. 405 This is a meal platter that is sufficient for one, depending on the appetite, it can be easily shared by two people. There are 3 options in this meal for one : Grilled Chicken, Tandoori Pomfret and Stuffed Capsicum. I ordered the Tandoori Pomfret. The meal contains herb rice, french fries, garlic bread, salad and the tandoori pomfret. The fish was a bit raw and it could have been better and I personally gave them this feedback and they accepted it very nicely. So, maybe this batch was not good and I sincerely hope they will improve this dish. 🔵 It is a 10 min walking distance from Nicco Park (ask for IB Block Playground, if you are unable to find the location). 🔵 They have a huge seating area of about 40 people. 🔵 They have an indoor and an outdoor seating area. 🔵 They have an open terrace which you can visit, just ask them to escort you. 🔵 For the book lovers it is a treat as there is shelf of books which you can enjoy while having some hot tea/coffee and enjoying the lovely street view. 🔵 There are several indoor games available like chess, darts etc. 🔵 Where I have written about the alternative options you can avail, the prices will vary accordingly. 🔵 I have attached the menu card. 🔵 They have just opened 2 months back, so feel free to give any suggestions or feedback, they are very courteous and humble regarding this. 🔵 You can also book your table from dineout.co.in 🔵 All forms of payment are accepted. 🔵 They do not have a delivery menu as of now, but in the future they are planning to make one.

Very beautiful conceptual café to catch the nostalgia of old Kolkata and Bengali culture. Exlnt vintage Kolkata cum Bengal oriented decoration caught my eyes from the road and entered there. I sat in front of a very beautiful window. I was overwhelmed by their beautiful concept of sitting arrangements. But what about the foods? As they told in their “overview” – it is made by a group of passionate foodies. I don’t think so. As it is a café, I first ordered cold coffee with ice cream but they served cold coffee (not as cold as it could be) with whipped cream without any trace of ice cream in a very very very very small glass and most of the glass space was occupied with hot (normal temperature, not cold at all) whipped cream. As I asked for Ice cream, they replied it was blended with Coffee!!!!!!!!! Totally disappointed. It seems, they were not ready or equipped to serve all the listed menus at all. They could easily skip the specific menu for the day as they had no Ice cream in their Kitchen. Honesty would bring more customers in future. Please justify the amount with the price tag. Again, it is to say that quality and quantity of food should be the first priority. People would come by seeing your beautiful conceptual decoration but disappointing food/ drinks may restrain them to return back in future as a result a beautiful business probability may be …………

If you want to indulge the "old North Calcutta" feeling where the rock, skeleton ceiling and old windows still mesmerise you; this is the place you should visit. The entire building is a charm of having the essence of North Calcutta building. The interior is as good and nostalgic as the outside. Though, you still have the charm of modern luxury of having an AC, don't worry. Now the fact is the ambience may satisfy your eyes but not your tummy. For that, you have plenty a option of mouthwatering dishes. Starting from old Calcutta legendary dishes like Kabiraji, chop, kosha mangsho with porota to continental items. Though we tried with the mix of both the dishes. The coffee was awesome and the fish Kabiraji too. Spoiler for the shutterbugs: save the memory space of your phone or camera ;). The parking won't be an issue as you can find a plenty of open and free spaces. As informed, they are open from 12 pm -10 pm from Mon-Thu and 11 am - 10pm on Fri-Sun. P:S: must visit their 1st floor which they usually open during the weekend only. Things we tried: coffe (cappuccino) Fish Kabiraji Grilled chicken Service: very courageous

The verandah is an old nostalgia 😍 and a perfect place to hang out and eat. I was looking for a place to eat some good food in the pujo days I found a very beautiful Cafe name verandah is a very unique name and also an extremely beautiful ambience.. ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️ ✅ Ambience - It's more important to see than to talk about it. Nowadays, somewhere in the office 24 × 7 shift, we seem to have lost that chit - chat and this sitting story. Sitting here, you will remember the coffee house of college street and the food of Decars lane Some old memories lost In the Pictures of ambience were given.... ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️ ✅ I tried - 📍 Gondhoraj Guelph Apple smoothie Cold coffee Chicken roast Verandah spcl Alfredo pasta Club sandwich Daab chingri shots I can say this much about food, I like the quality and quantity of food very much I thought the shrimp item was a little costly Otherwise I like other foods very much ... Follow me for more - Bong appetite
