The place ambience is wuite good. The service and hospitality is also good. Spent today for 3 hours today. Price is also reasonable. One drawback is it is small in size. Cafe is smaller in size. Otherwise there were no issue. Food quality was also good, but the large size pizza was not that large what I thought.

Great food and greater decoration. Dont miss their lasagnes and brownie with ice creams! Great place for hang out and definitely instagram worthy!

Today first time I visited there. I like their decor, environment, food & hospitality.Maybe the place is not big but its well arranged. In fact the young, energetic owner was also very nice. Keep it up buddy.

The place is open-place and pretty cozy. It actually best for couples to enjoy some special time here. Washroom privilages are not good. Food is very tasty and pricing is okay. But service is very delayed. If you want to go for taste and some nice time, this is a pretty nice place. But if you are looking for bug food plates probably not a good idea!

Cosy little cafe where you can sit for quite some time and chat freely. Also, great place for solo visitors as they have a good collection of books you can browse.

Very well decorated. The quality & quantity of food is also justified against the rates. Love their bacon wrapped olive chicken. Plus, you can also sit here with your work. The staffs are very well behaved as well. The outdoor sitting area also has a nice feel.

Excellent. This has become our regular hangout. FOOD is very good and the staff. Also cannot forget the man behind...Pablo. Top man and cheers to his efforts. Visited today and found the additional space opened with the concept of open window. Great going team. Would recommend everyone. All the more best wishes to team DRIFTERS

Have been there 3 times within 2 weeks. I loved the food over there. And also the ambience. It is colourful and one would love spending time over there. Do try their kitkat shake. Even the staff are friendly.

Well, the fresh lime soda was really bad. I didnt like the pizza too.Fish and chips was good, tastes like fish orly of bijoli grill.Trust the food bloggers, this is all I can say.

Reasonable price, good taste and nice presentation. Cafe Drifter will keep your taste buds, Instagram as well as your pocket in check.We had ---> Juicy Chicken Burger with Mustard Mayo and Bacon Topping--> Lamb Patty Topped with Garlic Mayo and CheeseBoth the burgers were served with french fries and ketchup and were quite tasty.We also ordered ---> Chicken, Mushroom and Caramelised Onions with Cheese Pie and though the filling was really really nice, the outer crust was not that good. It was bland, and kind of tasteless.Overall the experience was good. The service was okayish, for they take 20 something minutes to prepare the food and serve it.

Café Drifters surprised me with their quality of food at the given price. The ambience is perfect for a hangout with friends or a casual family outing. They have a great sitting arrangement which one can chose, from a cozy corner to sit and sipping a cup of coffee and readimg your favourite book to a bunch of friends having fun at the tables. The staff was friendly. The background music serves its true purpose. And coming back to the food. The menu is pretty neat and simple, which I was extremely happy about. Since my friend and I are white sauce lovers, we choose both our dish accordingly. The amount was good enough. However one can easily go for other options as the quality is quite good.A must visit people.

Visited based on reviews. Not at all good. Ordered 4 different types of drinks. It seemed they tried to put some innovation which failed drastically. Bacon wrapped chicken was ordered which was very very salty. They were informed but nothing was done from their end.

One of the worst experience, dont know if the restaurant is mainly for non vegetarians. Because vegetarian food is pathetic, at least what we tasted. First we ordered for Tomato basil soup which wasnt even edible..it was horrible and sour too. Then we ordered for Tacos which was supposed to be the best dish, it came to us as a shock. The taco was soft and soggy moreover the spinach leaves tasted bitter.Havent had a bad food experience as this one yet

Cozy place with a chilled ambience. Comfortable seating. The corn and bacon pizza was average. The mashed potatoes could have been better. The pan seared fish and chicken salad were excellent. Try the Guava jhatka... Ask them to go easy on the sugar syrup.

This place is in hindustan park, the food was nice not too over the top but their cafe latte is something i would never recommend. Coming to the ambience the space is decent they have outdoor seating as well. They have a little collection of books so you can grab your coffee and a book n chill out

Review №52

It is small yet cost place with 4 outdoor sitting options available. It is a mins walk away from natural ice cream parlour in Hindustan park. If you are planning to walk till there, best is to either take Kalighat metro and walk beside the lane of Lake mall and walk for 10 mins to each it. Not very expensive, but food quantity can be low for some people.

Visited during Durga puja but still the service was good. Ordered for the extreme kitkat shake, lemon iced tea and chicken lasagne. Kitkat shake and lasagne were really delightful but lemon iced tea was not upto the mark. Altogether it was a nice experience and they delivered good food even in such rush.

A small cafe / restaurant with a trendy and cosy decor and seating. They serve pizzas, pastas, bakes, burgers, pies and lots of beverages to choose from. Parking is available outside. The place I think was smelling of cheese (not in a nice way) and was a turnoff. Otherwise a nice joint to hang out with friends.

Visited this joint with 3 other friends. We ordered a pizza to share, along with fish and chips and pasta. Their drinks menu looks good on paper, but is very basic and not at all worth the price. The food however is delicious, and worth visiting again for.

Review №77

Um. There were two of us there and we ordered two shakes. They served only one shake after 15 mins and they took 25 mins for the next shake to arrive. They are only famous for the kitkat shake only. And even that is not available most of the time. I wanted to order the kitkat shake but they said its not available. So I asked for the Ferrero rocher shake which he informed me was also unavailable. And the shakes which were later served to us were not at all delicious and tasted bad. The place was understaffed and overpriced. Never going back or recommending this place to anyone

A well furnished , quiet little cafe with really courteous staff and good enough food.Been here on two occasions and loved the food each of these times.The pasta was cheesy and the crust crunchy enough.The sandwich may not be the best i have ever had , but, still a decent one.The cold coffee was definitely the best one.However the blueberry shake felt a bit too sweet.Overall , good for spending your afternoons at!

One of the best value for price eateries with a variety of continental dishes. A word of caution regarding the coffee - do not buy coffee since it is not up to the mark. But do drink all the cool mojitos and coffee drinks and so on. Cool beverages tastes much better than the hot beverages. Location is easy and convenient and can be located easily. All in all, it is a good place to hang out and have a nice meal.

The food here is upto the scratch.The two factors which constitute towards a complete dining experience are -1) the food quality (which is decent)2)the service (which is quite deficient). The servers uncooperative disposition was something that is quite unsuitable for a restaurant.Overall, a mediocre experience.

Belongs to an acquaintance of mine. Still not giving a 5 star rating. The staff are not well versed with the menu or its ingredients..cause i fid ask one to suggest me what to order.A little bit of sincerity on this segment will give a boost to the popularity of the place.Food is good and so is the location. Has a quiet locality but parking in this place may be a problem at times...

It serves excellent food at a comparatively lesser price. The ambience is excellent. In particular, I fell in love with the wall decor. Theres outside seating arrangement too. The waiters are quite courteous. The walls can be taken as backgrounds for your selfies. Overall I feel its a perfect place for eating out.
