This place has amazing ambience and good food. Tried their bhetki fry and it was so good ,we ordered again. Chinese preparations was also quite good, specially the soups .
Cafe Ajante , near by is even more amazing with its amazing punjab food and dhaba type ambience
The location is picturesque,there are two cafes with the same name - one serving Indian dishes and the other serving Chinese dishes. We tried the Chinese one, built in the shape of a house boat. food quality is ok and the pricing is decent.
Really liked the veg manchow soup. Also the view is to die for.
Cafe Ekante is one of my favorite restaurant . I went there to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday & my experience was amazing . The ambience & the food quality was awesome. I had spent great time there

Visiting Eco park hence decided to give this place a shot for family lunch. Preciously I did have a good experience with Cafe Ekante of Biswa Bangla Gate ,this was a bit different though- this one is all about Bengali cuisines. We ordered
Gondhoraj Sharbat- good n decent drink
Lassi- it was kind of bangali ghol
Aam panna Sharbat- again good n decent drink
Topshe Fry- battered topshe fry tasted really nice
Bhetki batter Fry- thought the fish could have been a bit better
Steam rice- good quality baskati rice served hot
Basanti Polao-sumptous authentic basanti polao served n garnished hot
Pyaaz Posto-. An amalgamation of poppy seed roasted n served with onion,excellent in taste
Daal- it was a kind of daal we prepare in our homes
Aloo bhaja- nothing beats a combination of bhaat daal n jhoori aloo bhaja
Chicken Duckbanglow -. Tender n juicy pieces of Chicken cooked in bengali style with appropriate spices n served with aloo n egg
Gurer Ice Cream- The desert part is incomplete without trying the traditional nolen Gurer Ice Cream,it was quite good in taste.
All in all a satisfied experience with good food n superb ambience by the water body overlooking.
This place is awesome.
Ice cream (nolen gur) is must try.
We ordered houseboat special chicken, that was good too.
Soup was spicy but delicious.
Very nice ambience.
One of the finest indoor cabana restaurants in the city..the name might be mild but the food is as spicy as be gali food should be and ull love the innovative names like dak bungalow

Visited this place post sunset on a weekend... it's main USP is the overall ambience, not only inside but also on the outside !! ... we entered from gate 6 with our car ... and the driveway was quite serene peaceful and enjoyable upto the car parking area meant for the restaurant .... from there we had to walk a bit and that path was even better .. specially the wooden bridge ... decorated with lights on both sides .. creating a perfect romantic atmosphere .... it's a must visit for the lovebirds ...
Coming to food... it's not very extraordinary i would say, but not bad as well ...u won't be disappointed at least, if not overwhelmed .... the houseboat section which we visited serves only chinese items... there is a separate section for Bengali and North Indian dishes, which i am yet to visit .... there are small single room houses built across the waterbody which can be booked .. and a separate reception hall as well available for booking in occasions ...
It has become one of my favourite places to visit specially for the romantic atmosphere it creates around the whole area ..... next time i would be trying out the North Indian section ...
This place is so cool.food was literally so good...but service is little slow... ambience 👌👌👌👌👌👌...price is little bit over...bt apart from this...food was damn damn good....
it's a perfect place for romantic dinner or to hangout ur friends or family to enjoy the beautiful scenery with having variety delicious dishes. it is located in eco park.. it's look like a sperated island..it also offers buffet system in outdoor seating arrangement & in indoor area u have to order food..the staffs are very friendly & recommend u what u should order..

Very nice place to go for romantic date, any special celebration. Absolutely lovely environment. Good food. Fish fry is best. Two restaurants cater two kind of food and ambience. You can choose according to your mood and preferences.
The ambiance of this place is really good. Best place to go out on a date. The vast lake view is very relaxing. The view in the evening with all the lights on is really mesmerising. If you’re staying near salt lake then you must visit this place.
It’s located in the middle of the lake you can see this place from eco park, it’s a place easily visible and its location and beauty attracts everyone.
Coming to the food, I really loved the food it’s authentic and delicious. They don’t offer a lot variety of foods as a typical café but whatever they have in their menu is just too good.
Price is reasonable for the ambience and the taste.
Café Ekante offers a picturesque location and an intriguing concept with two setups: one serving authentic Bengali dishes and the other, Boat House, offering Chinese cuisine. The Boat House at Café Ekante provides an awesome environment that's truly enjoyable. However, while the experience is great, the food taste might be considered average for the price point. The variety and ambiance make it a worthwhile visit, but there might be room for improvement in the culinary aspect to match the overall experience.
A lovely dining place for families and friends. Everything from the building, decor, surrounding environment especially the lake in the background creating a fairy-tale atmosphere, menu, service is 5*. Specially commendable is the excellent behaviour of the staff. Highly recommended for all.
Food quality, taste was brilliant. I like spicy food. A bit on the costly side - 700 for one. Quantity was on the low side.
Ordered chilli garlic noodles and tangra chicken. The noodles is not '2 for 3' (as the they said) it is only 'one for one'. The chicken dish had around 10 pieces. Gravy was on low side.
Atmosphere was calm . Customer service was as expected.
It is a lovely place with a great ambience. However a few small things that the restaurant should address...
Firstly, if certain dishes from the menu are not served due to the supply or demand, that needed to be pointed out while the menu card was distributed. That way the customer won't be disappointed after deciding on the food and learning it was not available.
Secondly, we ordered one mutton and one chicken kossa with other stuff. We were told that the flavours and the tastes would be different. However both had the same gravey.
Still a must visit. We will definitely be coming back.

It's a beautiful place for small outing. You will have to enter through Gate 1 of eco park and avail boat facility to reach cafe ekante. This boat trip is free of cost. But if you want to go by walking then you need to purchase a coupon costing 300/- per person. It is available online too. Good thing is this coupons are adjustable with your food bill in the restaurant.
There are two restaurants on the island. One is a floating restaurant which has only Chinese options available whereas the other one serves other Indian, continental dishes. The scenic beauty of the boat is awesome. However, not advised for a full course lunch or dinner at least for the Bengali visitors. The quality of food is out of question in both places.
The cost of food is little on the higher side. We spend around 3900 for moderate lunch for 4 adults and 2 children. The taste was however quite satisfying.
Do check out this place at least for once ❤️
My favourite place to go
Still not very crowded..
So perfect
Even the price is low
The polau & chicken kossa my fav💕💕💕
A perfect destination for family gathering or a day with your special one.
Ambiance is too good, most of if the foods were equally lip smacking. The service can be better.
