The place has a great ambience, its kids and pet friendly. It has good variety of drinks and great food. We had cornshell tacos, gochujang chicken sticky rice bowl, accai bowl and thai chicken. The food was great however the service was a little slow. The accai bowl was amazing. Its a good place to spend an afternoon or an evening here with great ambience and food.

Atmosphere (10/10)The setting is spectacular. Since this is a pet-friendly cafe, you'll be seated in the courtyard, which is an amazing place to relax—provided the weather isn't hot and humid.* Note for pet owners: You are required to bring your pet's vaccination card, a poop bag, a leash, and a collar.Food (6/10) & Portion (3/10)The food is nothing extraordinary, and the portion sizes are small compared to other restaurants. It is clear that here, you are paying for the wonderful atmosphere, not for a filling meal. Service (6/10)The service was polite and notably hospitable, though we found it to be a bit slow. They initially included a 10% service charge, but the staff happily removed it after I inquired whether it was mandatory. You're welcome to tip them as you wishStandard indoor seating is also available, like in any regular cafe.Think of this as a spot where you go to enjoy quality time with family, friends, and pets over a light meal.

Ambience & Concept Sprawling family-focused setup: Located in Topsia near the EM Bypass, The Backyard is a thoughtfully designed café and play space spread across approximately 29,000 sq ft, combining indoor and outdoor zones tailored for both adults and children. Nature-inspired aesthetic: Elements like a treehouse built around an existing ficus, wooden furnishings crafted from storm-uprooted trees, and eco-friendly paving tiles made of leather sludge convey a sustainable and artisanal vibe. Kid-centric and pet-friendly: The design is cleverly inclusive—features like indoor play areas, slides, splash pads, and a pet enclosure make it an ideal recreational space for children and their furry friends. Play & Activities (for Kids) Wide variety of activity zones: Children can enjoy splash pads, sand pits, swings, slides, a rock-climbing wall, mud kitchen, music wall, hopsotch, treehouse with reading nook, indoor toy zone, and even a swimming pool. Pricing & access: A flat fee of ₹1,000 per child grants unlimited access to these zones, with adults admitted free (up to 2 adults per child). Dining Options The Bistro: Offers world cuisine with a focus on fresh, natural ingredients—including salads, wood-fired flatbreads, coffee, ice creams, and kid-friendly dishes. Locally sourced & homegrown: Many herbs used in the kitchen are grown in The Backyard's own garden, supporting a locally-rooted sustainable menu. Popular Highlights What works really well Ambience and décor: Many visitors love the serene yet playful environment. A Google reviewer noted it as “a tranquil oasis perfect for a solo date or a relaxing hangout,” praising both the ambience (5/5) and food (4.5/5). Family and pet appeal: Reviewers frequently mention that both kids and pets have a blast here. Friendly and attentive service: Evaluations on Zomato highlight staff members like Anand and Arzoo for elevating the overall dining experience with excellent service. Areas that could be better Service delays & kitchen oversight: A few reviews cite slow service (e.g., waiting long for coffee) and inaccuracies in food orders (like missing mushrooms in a wrap). Pet-friendly claims vs. experience: Some pet owners feel the selection for pets is limited and staff may be uneasy around animals. Price considerations: A few patrons found the dishes pricey for their portion size or quality. Event booking hiccups: Reports note poor management when booking parties or events. Final Thoughts The Backyard stands out as one of Kolkata’s most imaginative family-friendly eateries—offering a rare blend of thoughtful design, engaging play zones, and quality dining. It’s especially great for parents looking to relax while their kids explore barefoot or interact with pets in a safe environment. The concept’s thoughtful details—from sustainable décor to edible herbs grown on-site—underscores its appeal. That said, there are minor gaps around service reliability, pet experience, and booking processes that, if improved, could elevate the venue even further. Ideal for leisurely afternoons, family outings, brunches, or casual hangouts where kids and pets are welcome. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: ₹400–600 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
