I went on Sunday and there was a birthday party decoration going on plus the outdoor area when asked they said it was booked which was lame as by the time we went back still it was empty .We were there with toddler and thought he ll be occupied as I heard a lot about it but when came to know about the price didn’t make sense for 1-2 hr to keep the kid while we eat .. plus the food portion is for 1 person and I didn’t liked their burger quality, I could give it a missUdon noodles were nice unfortunately the portion was so less that my kid ate the whole noodles and we where left with veggies ( so imagine the size ) because of its quantity we didn’t order much as it seemed pricey

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
