That Red House
Inside That Red House
That Red House is a cozy café tucked away in the residential corners of Ballygunge, Kolkata, offering a quiet alternative to the usual bustle of busy streets. The small setup, with around 20 seats, feels more like visiting a friend’s home than stepping into a commercial cafe—an intimate spot where familiar aromas and simple comfort food set the tone.
This place leans into both Indian and international flavors, serving up items like BBQ chicken pizza, fish with lemon sauce, and classic continental bites such as grilled chicken breast and Montecristo sandwiches. While the menu may not always be fully available (something visitors have noticed during quieter hours), the dishes that do make it to the table, like coffee and fish preparations, usually hit the mark without fuss. Their coffee, especially the americano, is appreciated for its warm serving and fresh aroma, making it a good stop for a casual caffeine fix.
The ambiance here is understated but inviting, with a neat, aesthetic decor that strikes a balance between cozy and contemporary. It doesn’t aim to wow with flashy interiors but instead offers a relaxed environment that works well for solo visitors looking to unwind, or small groups wanting a low-key hangout. Given its tucked-away location in an established colony and the feel of entering a home rather than a high-traffic café, it tends to attract local patrons who appreciate that calm and neighborly vibe.
Because footfall can fluctuate—especially during festival seasons like Durga Puja when seating might still be available if you’re lucky—it’s best to visit during mid-mornings or late afternoons for a more peaceful experience. The friendly service, while still ironing out some menu presentation kinks, adds to the relaxed atmosphere.
Overall, That Red House feels like a spot suited for those who enjoy a casual café experience that’s more about simple pleasures than polished perfection—a place to enjoy a good cup of coffee alongside comforting plates, without the noise and crowds of more central cafés.
