If it's value for money and fast service you are looking for, this is the place. We often have team lunches here. The food is spicy, service is good. You can sit in an AC dining hall (capacity 24) or outside. Like the mughlai and Chinese items.
Drive inn is just a few minutes walk from maidan metro. They have a huge variety of Chinese items at a very pocket friendly price it's good for the office people out there in that Area.
I would surely love to visit this place number of times as they have quality food at a very cheap pricing
Went to drive inn to try out their Rice and Garlic Chicken Gravy and I loved the taste. It was subtle, the spices were perfectly mixed and overall it was a nice experience for us.
Ambience:
Have both indoor and outdoor setting.
Budget: Very pocket friendly!
*NO GST*
Yes! You have read it right.
So go there for any birthday treat or any bigger treat when you are running of money!
We had:
1.Veg Pulao
2. Chicken tikka masala
(The amount of these two dishes is much more for two people and taste awesome)
3.American Chopsuey (it tastes more delicious unlike many renowned restaurants serving the same dish )
Eat well and live well!

Visited this wonderful minimally decorated inn today. It is situated just opposite to The 42 , which is 2 minutes walk from Maidan metro station gate no -2 .
Key points about this place should be a large menu, affordable prices and great taste, which makes it popular among youths.
The place has an outdoor sitting facilities too which unfortunately we could not avail due to rain .
Now coming to the food, we had
DRAGON CHICKEN- Tasted great!
CHEESE BALLS - Blunt , they couldn't make it properly , should have used string cheese and a more flavourful crust.
PAN FRIED MIXED NOODLES - Noodles came covered with a thick layer of veges and thick chunks of chicken and prawn in brown sauce. Surely a must try!
PAN FRIED DRY CHILI CHICKEN- Chicken tasted good but the pan fried gravy was the same as that of the dragon chicken.
PINAPPLE BLOSSOM- A very refreshing sweet mocktail with bites of pinapple.
Service was quick and friendly too.
I think they can make a little improvement in their infrastructure as it seemed a bit old and outdated to me considering the customers they were getting. Food quality was upto the mark!!
The Food is very good here.nice ambience.staffs we're good.it is a pocket-friendly restaurant .loved the place and the food here..keep it up guys!
Heard about this place, which has minimal decor & offers great gastronomic experience amongst the food lovers of Kolkata.
We had chicken & mushroom soup, veg pulao (as they were closed for tandoori items) & chicken lababdaar for our late lunch. Soup was okayish but the veg pulao tasted nice & was bright & colorful. Chicken was tender & well-cooked, with creamy gravy & smoothness in texture.
The thing I liked the most was what they offered as condiment, a variation of candies, pan masala etc.
Only one thing which was definitely lacking, was their inadequate washroom (?), it should be taken care of.

🔅4.5/5
In Frame 🔹 Chicken Schezwan Momo
🔸Mixed Noodles(gravy)
🔹Dry Chilli chicken ( 8 pcs )
Location 👉 1 minute walking distance from Maidan Metro station
🍴 Foods are extremely delicious. Especially Chicken Schezwam Momo and Dry Chilli Chicken are highly recommend.Mixed Noodles is good but Hakka Noodles is very popular in this restaurant.Dry chilli chicken was a little bit stiff.Taste was heavenly.All these items are enough for 2 people.🍴
I had really a great time over here. Food is amazing and very reasonable. 2 minutes of walking distance from Maidan metro station. Service needs to be lil bit prompt but staffs are generous.
College gave over early today,so we decided to head to Drive Inn at 2:30. It's just a few minutes walk from my college which is The Bhawanipur Education Society (almost 21min) and a 5min walk from Maidan metro gate no.2.
The place has both indoors and outdoors. We generally prefer outdoors but due to the scorching heat,we chose indoors 😂😂.Well,the indoors can accommodate around 20-25 people,all over probably,the whole restaurant can accommodate around 100-150 people and also has a conference hall.
The service is too slow,so they need to work on it.
Overall,the food was good and the experience okayish.
Nice place to grab a quick snack. We ordered egg sandwiches and fish fingers. I wanted to try the grilled fish but they didn't have it at that time.
Nevertheless, the sandwich was very good. The fish fingers were served with mayonnaise and tasted good, but something felt amiss🤔. The missing piece turned out to be our good old Bengali mustard sauce or 'kasundi' 🤩. Really brought out the flavor of the fish.

Wonderful place. The owner Ashok Mansata is a friend of mine. He helped me a lot when I was new to Kolkata. Food of course is very good. I have very pleasant memories.
This restaurant located just 5 minutes walking from Maidan metro gate 4 , Has become my favorite stop for lunch whenever I visit Central . This place has a very amazing range of Chinese and Indian food at a very cheap price I would surely recommend the public to give it a try !
This place is located near Maidan metro.I was here on a Sunday afternoon. The place gives a very different vibe considering they have both outdoor and indoor seating.They serve both Indian and Chinese food at pocket friendly prices. They also have Thalis in their menu which is definitely noteworthy. The staffs tries their best to provide with a good service. Few of the recommended items are-Lassi,Chicken Thali,Hyderabadi Biryani,Paneer Butter Masala,Butter Naan.
Situated in the centre of the city around 100 meters from Maidan metro gate no. 2, it's a good place for a gathering of around 40-50 people. Awesome food, they have got a hall where you can have a small programme. I'm giving one star less for they charged us for 50 people however we were only 22 saying that that's the minimum no. we charge for. But then we acted smart and all took one food packet each. Check my picture below with food packet. Haha
