Located on the bustling Garia Main Road, Boho Sky Cafe takes one away from the hustle and bustle with its al fresco set-up. Not only a view of the vast skyline but also the metro railway tracks with the trains running at regular intervals add to the experience of sitting at the cafe. Launched from the house of Baraf at its rooftop, the cafe is divided into two sections — a glass-enclosed sitting section and an outdoor set-up.
Designed by Grandly, the interior is done up in earthy shades of grey and brown, complemented with a touch of the classic white and black. Macrame hangings and over 200 potted plants add a green and bohemian touch to the set-up. Geometric infusions complete the aesthetic appeal with a contemporary, sophisticated touch.
What adds to the relaxed vibe is the menu offering a fusion, global cuisine with an array of options to choose from, starting from the Middle East to the Caribbean and European to Asian along with an exciting mocktail menu to complement the food.

Roshni Aditya, managing director, Aditya Groups said, “This most recent venture was to reside on the skylines of Garia, becoming the first rooftop cafe of Garia, overlooking the neon-wrapped metro. Desiring a complete contrast to existing wings in the hospitality sector, we wanted to create a dynamic social destination. We wanted to slip back to the ideology of bohemian lifestyle, which represents a free spirit, and creativity and thus, Boho Sky Cafe was born. Rooftop cafes are a trend these days. We also wanted to cater to the local demand of college and school students walking in with their friends at such places as the locality lacked a similar set-up.
