A local attraction - Ashutosh Museum of Indian Art, which is situated near this restaurant, is a part of the authentic culture of this city. The key aspect of Basanta Cabin is the Indian cuisine. To try nicely cooked chicken cutlets, fried chicken and fried fish is a really good idea. Some visitors recommend good tea or delicious coffee at this place.
At this spot, you can order dishes as a takeaway. Most guests mention that the staff is nice here. This restaurant is remarkable for its cool service. In accordance with the reviewers' opinions, prices are affordable. You will definitely like the comfortable atmosphere and fine decor. But people rate Basanta Cabin below average on Google.

**Basanta Cabin, College Street – A Journey into Old Calcutta** Before visiting, I had come across some not-so-great reviews of **Basanta Cabin**, one of the heritage food spots of College Street. But my own experience turned out to be completely different – and delightful. The moment I stepped in, I felt like I had traveled a hundred years back into old Calcutta. The classic cabin-style interiors carried an irresistible vintage charm. What added to the warmth was the staff – welcoming, friendly, and eager to guide me with their suggestions. By their recommendation, I tried their **Special Mughlai Paratha (₹140)**. The moment it arrived, I could tell it was worth every rupee. The paratha was super crunchy on the outside, generously stuffed with tasty chicken, the richness of nuts, and the soft fluffiness of egg. A perfect blend of texture and flavor – I’d rate it **4.5/5**. Next came the **Special Fish Kabiraji (₹170)**. The hot plate hit the table, and the aroma of fresh **bhetki fish** instantly pulled me in. One bite, and I was floored – tender, fresh fish wrapped in a golden, crunchy egg coating that literally melted in my mouth. Pure heaven! This one is an easy **10/10**. Basanta Cabin is not just about food – it’s about an **experience of history, nostalgia, and authentic flavors** that still live on in the heart of Kolkata. I walked in doubtful but left with a heart full of satisfaction and respect for this timeless eatery.
