Diwali 2022: Here're 5 New Restaurants To Explore In Kolkata During The Festivities:

1. MQXT:

MQXT (pronounced mixed) is one of the latest eateries in town, making quite a buzz for all the right reasons. Located in the bylanes of South Kolkata, it is a space that offers some of the most delicious fries, burgers and wraps to satisfy your palate. And what makes it yet more fascinating is, the restaurant follows a QSR format and offers a 'farm to plate' experience to all. Moreover, the fun, feisty and funky interior makes the space 'Instagram-worthy'. We recommend, try their signature truffle fries, prawn balls, Lebanese platter and parmesan chicken for a memorable meal experience.

2. Poach - Kitchen And Espresso:

Looking for a unique space to eat good food and click amazing pictures? We say, try out this new café - Poach, located near Vivekananda Park in South Kolkata. Upon entering, the very first thing that will grab your eyeballs is the décor. It's chic, and classic, with white-washed walls and a checkered floor. The pastel hue and the wooden staircase add on to the whole vibe of the space. Coming to the food, Poach offers the choicest of teas and coffees, with an elaborate menu offering different cuisines from across the world. We recommend - trying beetroot hummus with orange segments and goat cheese served with pita bread and lavash, cream cheese and wild mushroom dim sums with chilli dipping sauce, fruit loop shake and of course, honey glazed bacon French toast.
