Arun Tea Stall — Restaurant in Kolkata

Deep inside the theater road or what basically you say in the Shakespeare sarani you have such a hidden gem in form of ATS. Just 30 secs from my office opposite foot of the cafe The Next Level, i was quite surprised to find it in zomato, but later found them equally famous.

Popular Name, But Overrated Nowadays, this shop—commonly known as ATS—is on everyone’s lips and is located in the Shakespeare area.
