Visit Garden Café, one of Kolkata’s oldest and most recognizable vegetarian cafes, for a delectable diversion from the typical festive fare this Durga Puja. Garden Café, which was founded in 1968 and redesigned by Mr. Sandip Nowlakha in 1981, masterfully combines innovation, tradition, and warm hospitality.

The menu celebrates traditional South Indian food while adding a cozy touch of European cuisine.

Signature offerings include Crispy Masala Dosas, Steamed Idlis, Vadas, served with flavourful sambar and an array of house-made chutneys. Dosa lovers can explore offers like Cheese Mushroom Garlic Dosa, Rava Masala Dosa, Podi Dosa, Finger-Fried Idli, Thatte Idli, and Dahi Idli Fries.

Since 1982, Garden Café has been providing 108 different types of dosa. It was also one of the first places in Kolkata to serve pizza, which was created following a family recipe that has been loved for generations. Enjoy their robust, flavorful, freshly brewed South Indian filter coffee with your lunch.

Garden Café’s steadfast dedication to quality, service, cleanliness, hospitality, and affordability—which welcomes patrons of all ages and communities—is what really makes it stand out. With five flourishing locations in Kolkata and Jaipur, it’s a community-based brand.

The café’s open, transparent kitchen, changing art displays, calm, simple interior design, and large parking lot provide a welcoming, inclusive space that’s ideal for family get-togethers or a quiet bite to eat alone.

This puja celebrates the spirit of the season with hearty cuisine, warm flavors, and ageless traditions.
