The newest on the block, Boujee House, features large French windows, stylish neutrals, and a cocktail bar that is only open on certain days. Drink I'm a Barbie Girl, a dreamy, creamy, nutty vodka-strawberry drink, or Kovalam Meets Cognac, a coconut-cognac negroni that screams wanderlust. Bite into Myeong-dong chicken wings, which are crispy and covered in a sweet-spicy Gochujang sauce, or smash into Smashing Nachos, where a gigantic nacho disc conceals seven dips. The Pistachio Mille-Feuille combines layers of flaky pastry, pistachio cream, and ice cream for the ultimate in decadence, while the Carpaccio keeps things interesting with beets, oranges, and feta.

Conversation Room feels like meeting a long-lost friend in a setting that is intimate and unpretentious. For those who want the taste of a classic cocktail without the buzz, start with their Sober Old Fashioned, a rare beverage crafted with alcohol-free Sober whisky. Their Crystal Clear cocktail is a great choice if you're craving something a little more colourful. It is perfect for people who value an age-old classic. There are three varieties of house sodas--- lemon, grapefruit, and orange. You can personalise your drink by mixing these fresh sodas with tequila, gin, or rum. Curry Leaf & Pepper Asparagus and Jhol Momos, a spicy, tangy take on the traditional dumplings, are two more dishes that draw interest. The pot roast chicken, which is a slow-roasted chicken leg, is absolutely toothsome! The well-cooked meat is succulent and tender, and it goes well with the grilled porcini and button mushrooms. 

Must-Try: Ratatouille Cutlet, tiramisu, pistachio cannoli with pistachio crèmeux

Dawat-e-Kashmir in New Town, Rajarhat, is a Kashmiri fantasy presented on a plate.Their Wazwan is the ultimate foodgasmic dish, with haakh, waza paneer that is incredibly silky, and nadru yakhni, where lotus stems melt into a creamy yoghurt gravy. Next are the crispy, spice-marinated lamb ribs known as tabak maaz, which should be accompanied with a warning because they are highly addictive. Not to mention the yakhni, which is flavourful, rich, and essentially the gastronomic equivalent of a homely winter aesthetic. You know where to go if you enjoy soul food, slow living, and meals that tell a story.
