Mitra Cafe - Sovabazar - Indian restaurant in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

I heard a lot about the place and always wanted to visit. Luckily I got a table without waiting. The place has two sections. The non AC section is outside and the AC section is inside. The place is really small. We had Fish fry - The fish fillet was of good proportion but the size was really small as per the price. The taste was average, nothing to mention as such. I have had better fish fry at many other joints. Fish Roll - I was highly disappointed with this. The stuffing of the fish was too less and the taste was a little bit too sweet for me. Overall the experience was average and a bit disappointing. The fish fry was better than the fish roll but looking at the pocket pinch it was not worth it. Somewhere I feel the quality has dropped in recent times.

Worst food experience ever. Food quality is very poor. I ordered "Chicken Dopayaja" which is just some gravy and fried onion put into oil. There is no taste. The quality of the chicken is not good. Every item in the main course is over 200rs but the food doesn't deserve this. Even their signature item fish fry does not taste as good as before. Only the good part is the decoration and services. So, don't waste your money here. Rather than try out some small food corners near sovabajar metro. Thank you

For an iconic and heritage cafe , the basic amenities like a washbasin was missing. The rates are on the higher side. I had chicken kobiraji which was tasty but very oily . They can drain the oil out before serving to customers. Better services are expected for such a heritage and famed restaurant of more than 100 years linage.

Visited in Nov 2023 This was the first time I visited the Sovabazar Mitra Cafe outlet which is the original outlet since 1910s. Otherwise I have usually gone to the Jessore Road outlet. Somehow I felt that the quality of food at the Sovabazar outlet is better than the Jessore road one. I ordered the fish fry, chicken cutlet, mutton egg devil, mutton cutlet and mutton kabiraji. Every item was good, esp the mutton egg devil and the fish fry, both of which you should must try. The space inside is very small and there aren't many seats. Hence, I just did a takeaway. This Mitra Cafe outlet at Sovabazar is a definite recommendation for any person visiting the City of Joy.

Old and one of the ethnic places of kolkata. But the taste of the food is not like before. Though the service is quite good there. But have to wait to get a seat . And on Sundays fish items are sold out early.

A legendary one running since decades. It is getting expanded in the form of opening new branches not only in the state but in other states too. I liked the theme of connecting old with new, past with present and traditional with modern. Food is delicious. Spending an evening here will uplift your mood and also make you feel nostalgic simultaneously.

The space was small, but the quality and quantity of the food were good. The seating arrangement was not adequate to welcome a large number of guests at a time. As of when we last visited, we had to share a table with other guests. Although we didn't get to taste many dishes, all the dishes have been sold out except mutton cutlet, kabiraji, prawn cutlet, and kabiraji. Evening time was a rush hour, so if you want to try and test all the dishes or want to have good options to choose from the menu, Then it was recommended to reach them by 6 p.m.We went there at 7:30, and by then everything had just sold out. As a result of which we didn't get to see the menu. So, we had what was available then.

One of the famous eateries in Kolkata to serve amazing fries,cutlets, chops ,kabirajis etc.. Located just at Sobhabajar Very easy to locate the place actually Tried special Diamond fry, chicken kabiraji and pudding there.. Pudding was the show stopper no doubt. Loved it like anything..
