This place deserves a rating along a negative scale. Went to grab a sandwich and a coffee. Finding the place was easy as it is located in the same premises of Kasturi restaurant. The garden did not have a decor in particular however the colorful chairs and umbrellas looked good. The name Kokobana was never mentioned on the sign boards, therefore I walked past the garden into the building to confirm if it is the same place. A waiter confirmed and I grabbed a chair in the garden. For 15 minutes I was sitting all alone in the garden and nobody came to take any order. Then I went inside the building to ask for the menu. The waiter instructed me to sit, I went back and soon he came and handed over the menu. To my horror it was a menu of Bengali cuisines, apparently of Kasturi. I mean, under what sense you'd give a Bengali lunch menu to a diner who has come to a cafe? I called the waiter and asked for the cafe menu. He was half unsure about if any other menu at all existed. I requested him to find out. He never came back. After 20 minutes I went inside to ask for the cafe menu. One of the waiters told me that they are not preparing the cafe items due to Durga Puja. I wasted almost an hour and came back in empty stomach.
Why couldn't they inform me before when I specifically was looking for the cafe? Why couldn't they come up faster to take orders when I was the only diner they had at that point of time? The waiters had a horrible body language, as if they were not willing to serve. They were laid back and lethargic. And that was true for all the 4-5 waiters present in the building.
One suggestion to the owner, either get professional people or switch to some other business. Running an eatery isn't your cup of tea, it seems.
