Cafe Barrackpore

I have been here numerous times and also order takeaway often. They also provide delivery and is legit one of my favourite places to eat at in Barrackpore. Although the menu mostly consists of common Chinese and Bengali and Indian dishes, most of the items that I've ordered are prepared well and taste amazing. The complaints I have regarding their food are very minor. For instance, I wish they'd serve some other dips with their starters other than ketchup and kasundi. Also, include some more kinds of coffees and beverages in their menu. Other than that, the food is very affordable and the only item that I think is a little bit on the pricier side considering the quality and the portion size is the sizzling brownie.

Coming to the ambience, the cafe is very spacious and well decorated. However, it is not air conditioned, which I believe is a conscious decision taken by the owners to keep the food prices affordable. This sometimes lead to a stuffy environment, especially in hot and humid weathers. I definitely recommend going during cooler months. They also have live music here sometimes.

The staff is courteous and polite, but the service can be a bit slow at times if the cafe is busy. Earlier, there was a young lady server who was very attentive and prompt. Ever since she has left, I feel the service has gone down a little. Recently, I visted the cafe for dinner and the service was even slower than usual despite it being relatively empty. I believe these are all things that can be taken care of and the cafe has the potential to achieve even more in the coming days.

Barrackpore cafe comes with a cozy ambience. The indoor decor is apt for photographs. Outside the cafe, the 'I love Barrackpore' is an added attraction. However, the cafe is not air conditioned. Coming to the food, it is good but doesn't offer a lot of variety. At times, in the evening, you get hear live music and that is enough to lift your mood. Good place to visit with friends.

I am a frequent visitor to this place. Ironically the first item in their starter menu is never available????. The place is under-staffed, hence delivery is often delayed. Otherwise only good things to say about this place - tasty food, nice interior and positive vibes!!????????

P.S. the music could be a bit softer! ????
