Main course fast food is extremely delicious. Very much in quantity (chicken, prawns, etc.), worth of money, and taste.

This dawntown cafe is located at the Basement of Hotel Mangalam, 44 A, Sarat Bose Rd, Paddapukur, Bhowanipore, Kolkata, West Bengal 700020. One of the great places to showcase their talent on the stage. There is an extension place where performers show their talent with music, poetry, shayri stand up comedy and many more. The service at the cafe is too good. The boys are also polite.

Ambiance is good it's like something different. It is located underground so when you will enter inside the cafe you will really feel amazing it is totally opposite jai hind dhaba. Loved the pizza here but hookah was not so good and rest everything was nice you people can try this cafe if you are looking for good food rest for hookah I don't think it is the best option as there are many more good cafe's in that location
