Next time you are in New Town and wondering where to have your tipple party, drop by Urban Kitchen + Bar, the newest chill spot at The Holiday Inn on Biswa Bangla Sarani. Spread over 1,500sq ft, the snug place is divided into three zones — dining, private dining and bar with a mini dance floor. The
32-seater dining space is furnished with comfy sofas and minimalist decor, while the 18-seater private-dining section is ideal if you are looking at birthday parties or office team lunches.
Food is one of the highlights here and the menu is a mix of traditional (like biryani and Ran-e-Sikandari) and modern (like international tasting platters and Steamed Edamame Beans). “Keeping in sync with the name of the place, we wanted to have a contemporary menu with a local touch. The food menu is simple and value for money,” said executive chef Suman Chakraborty.



If you love fancy dessert, try this custard pudding with caramel drizzled on top, served with house-made chilli ice cream and fresh fruits like kiwi and peach. The chilli is beautifully balanced by the mild sweetness of the custard.
