Candle Light Dinner In Kolkata Gets A 'Glow-Up' At These 13 Places!
Overview
Ozora
For an intimate dinner, a rooftop restaurant and bar is the perfect choice.

Split your time at Ozora between the main indoor restaurant and a rooftop space that has an infinity pool and is next to a banquet facility. Enjoy cocktails in the well-built, small poolside area with a DIY canopy.
Start with the Dal Makhani Tartlets for the table, loaded with parmesan cheese and spicy dal makhani. Then the Prawn Salt and Pepper and Pan-tossed Mushroom. Playboy, which combines smokey scotch with orange and peach, and Te Basilico, a vodka drink that is shaken and mixed with lemon, black tea, and basil leaves, are your cocktail options. Go for the grilled vegetables with couscous for the mains, the Tikka Chicken Makhani Risotto is full of flavours we love! Share a plate of Fudging Awesome Nutella Brownie to finish the meal.
