Came here for the atmosphere and history. Place of Nostalgia. Attraction is waiters’ unique white dress & unique cap was amazing. Food taste isn’t so good. Coffee was awful. But love atmosphere. Good place for smokers. And very good hangout place with friends also.
An awesome experience and food and service. We could see school kids to elderly people enjoying each other’s company. The staff was polite and I guess most of them have been working for the past 50+ years. They were very kind. The food was delicious and at affordable price.
Nostalgic place. It's very full nowadays and will take some time for them to process your orders. They may also charge you for things you haven't ordered and yet not give refunds which I don't like. I recommend the cold coffee with cream, it's the best here.
Indian Coffee House is a nostalgic heaven that beckons friends, family, and even those seeking a touch of the past. The ambiance exudes a charming, old-world charm, making it a favorite spot for both the young and old. The pocket-friendly menu adds to its allure, offering a variety of tasty items that resonate with traditional flavors. It's not just a place to eat; it's a journey through time, where conversations flow freely and memories linger. A visit to Indian Coffee House is not just about the food; it's an experience that binds generations together in the heart of delightful nostalgia.
The Indian Coffee is a very old and vintage coffee shop. It had a long memory, culture and traditional value. Before many famous people visited here. There are so many items to try. The environment is good and vintage. Tourists from all over the country and the world came here to see. Good place to visit and relax.
This place is different from all the branches of Indian Coffee House elsewhere in India. They have a very short menu which helps them in focusing on their bestsellers i.e. fried specialities.
I tried their chicken cutlet, fish and mutton kabiraji along with the cold coffee. Mutton and fish kabiraji are a must try, while the coffee is a bit disappointing especially when the place itself is name after it.
Did a food tour of Kolkata, so feel free to ask any questions and follow my reviews.
Indian Coffee House is a historical cultural place in Kolkata city and is also well-recognized by the people of the Indian sub-continent who study history and culture. However, this place is very famous for the atmosphere of it! People could enjoy different types of snacks and platters here. But the food quality is not that much appreciable considering the food price range. However, the ambiance of this place is excellent!

Must try mutton cutlets and special coffee!
USP- FISH KAVIRAJI♥️
I found food a little on the higher side comparing with the overall ambience, else the taste was great. Fish cutlet was really tasty. Environment was really urban- chic- intellect kind of. People were busy in their phone, novel, laptop, coffee etc. There's also a very friendly cat hopping around tables. Overall a must visit place with your friends for light snack and gossip sesh.
The hub of students and alumni of Presidency College (and other colleges), which is located right opposite, as well as intellectuals, the Indian Coffee House is founded in 1942. Since then, it has continued to host top poets, artistes, literati and filmmakers including Satyajit Ray, Amartya Sen, Mrinal Sen, Aparna Sen, Ritwik Ghatak, Narayan Gangopadhyay, Sunil Gangopadhyay, Sanjeev Chattopadhyay, Samaresh Majumdar, Subhas Mukhopadhyay and Shakti Chattopadhyay.
I personally found the place to be nostalgia & history in making. The coffee House is always crowded & people are crazy about that. I felt the foods or drinks that are available are average & the pricing is also on the higher side. Generally we go to a coffee house to drink coffee but I found the coffee is not up to the mark or didn't like it at all, just a waste of money. Overall a must visit if anyone is visiting this historic place.
