Enjoy a dinner under the night sky, bask in winter’s afternoon sun or engage in an evening tea adda with a view of the sunset sky. Social Hideout adds a slice of nature to your cafe experience. Spread across 2,000sq ft, its interiors are inspired from the decor of European cafes and is done up in classic tones of white, black and beige with a dash of pink and purple. Floral decor and chequered flooring complete the look. The multi-cuisine menu serves a wide variety starting from Continental and Chinese to Mediterranean, Italian and fusion food. The food can be paired with coffee, shakes or mocktails from the beverage menu.
“Due to the pandemic, we missed out a lot on socialising. We want to provide our customers a safe and hygienic place with a beautiful ambience and delicious food to rekindle that spirit of socialising. The ground floor level with a glass-covered atrium is what makes us stand out. People can have different experiences throughout the day. Having worked in the F&B industry for around seven years abroad, I wanted to bring a new experience for Calcutta people. Social Hideout is a place meant for all age groups. Whether it’s a date, kitty party or a family gathering, the sober ambience is soothing for all. We will soon introduce a special high tea experience as well,” said Md Khaleequzzaman and Md Asif, partners, Social Hideout.
