Introduction
If you are looking for late-night food in Kolkata, specifically in the Action Area 1 vicinity, New Town Dhaba is a name that always comes up. Open until 3:00 AM, it is a go-to spot for night owls, but is the food actually worth the trip? We visited at 2:00 AM to find out.
The Atmosphere: Open Air & Rustic
The first thing you’ll notice is the open-air sitting. It’s a classic dhaba vibe that feels great in the cool night air, but there are a few downsides. The place can be a bit more clean, and frankly, there are too many mosquitoes to ignore. If you plan on sitting here for a while, be prepared!
The Service
The staff are friendly and polite, which is a plus for a late-night establishment. However, patience is required—the food takes a long time to serve. Don't expect a quick "express" meal; this is a place where the kitchen takes its time.
The Food: What We Ordered
We went for the heavy hitters on their North Indian menu:
Mutton Boti: Surprisingly tender and packed with spice. Easily the highlight of the meal.
Chicken Bharta: Creamy, well-shredded, and paired perfectly with the bread.
Butter Naan: Served hot and dripping with butter. The portion sizes are good, ensuring you leave full.
Final Verdict
Despite the hygiene and the mosquito situation, the food is good and consistent. It’s a solid 3.5/5 stars for anyone needing a heavy, flavorful meal in the middle of the night.
