As usual the Best. I miss their White plate with their branding. This regular paper plate not we are okey with. Food quality they try to maintain with good staff behaviour.

Whenever I visit any of their outlets, i just enjoy their food. Highly recommended

The taste was awesome, however it has become too costly and they have not improved their service or ambiance. The amount you pay is too much for the service and ambiance.

We also ordered Lachcha Parota Chicken Kosha from Shyambazar Mitra Cafe. The food was very tasty. The place was a little small but the food was very good And you will get the food you can afford.But the negative point is that they didnt clean the tables well....

Good place. First time for me. Try special mughlai paratha, mutton kabiraji cutlet and veg cutlet. Good in taste. Plan to re-visit after puja.

To be honest, I was kind of disappointed with this place. I found it to be over-hyped and absolutely not living up to its legend. I had a fish kabiraji and an egg chicken roll, which were just okay. Absolutely not special in any way. The seating is extremely limited and clumsy. Theres just one washbasin and no washrooms. Fortunately, they accept card and online payments.

Great place to eat, must try mutton and fish items here.

Most popular and very old cafe in north kolkata. Although the sitting arrangment is not very good because the cafe place is very small and narrow. Any way the foods are very testy and yummy. Specially the Snacks items are too good. Here You can get tea and coffee also.

Heritage cafe for more than 100 years with good quality snacks and food. But need more attention to maintain heredity.

This outlet is very small so I dont recommended for their Dine-in service. You can choose takeaway or delivery service. The food quality is good.their fish 🐟 items are better than the other dishes that my opinion. You can try whatever you want

Heaven for non-veg lovers..They have several branchs of Mitra cafe in all around kolkata. And all branchs are pretty famous and have diverse outlet of non vegetarian cutlets like Fish kabiraji, chicken cutlet, Egg devil, Prown and mutton cutlet also served here.Thats one of the most oldest and authentic fast food restaurant in kolkata. Those restaurents are carrying lots of oldest memorys and emotions for all...

One the most renowned places for scrumptious mughlai food at its best ♥️All of their items are worth tasting. I tried chicken kabiraji which had a ideally thick layer of lacey egg- work and the cutlet was so juicy 😋 . An heavy evening snack for ₹130.Secondly they have some good chicken pakoras (with bone) which had 6pieces of chicken (1/2 plate) for ₹150 only.The staffs are humble and helpful. Seating capacity is very low, dont expect a spacious room it can accommodate hardly 8 people at once. They also have seating options outside.Taste -4/5 ⭐

One of the oldest known cafés in Kolkata. Just go there for their rich heritage. Some items are only available in this restaurant.The waiters are also very well behaved. Fish fry here is awesome. Must try items are fish Kabiraji. I specially didnt like their most tauted item Diamond fish Kabiraji as its too oily. The drawback of the place is its small capacity (only 4 tables) that too very congested.

A place of most tradition maintained delicious food from ages and generations.One of the best fish items you will get there. Kabiraji, Afgani, fish fry, fish finger are their ancient most favourite and tasty items.Price is in very reasonable range.You can easily go there by buses that reaches shyambazar 5 point crossing.You can easily reach also from shyambazar metro.This outlet of mitra cafe is running beyond my age I guess.Though in recent days they also providing the biriyani, different chicken side dishes and momo type items. But I really prefer the fish, chicken and mutton types fry items.Rate charts and dish items snaps are attached there.Please go there and return with a stomach with full of happiness.

Bangali manei khawa dawa r Adda . Nijer oitijjho bojae rekhe ai jaegae ta 1920 theke chole asche. The food here is delectable. I tried the diamond prawn KABIRAJI which was marvelous. The mutton cutlet was heavenly. The egg devil was stupendous. The crust was crunchy but the inner filling was soft and little bit sweet. There was mashed meat in the filling along with half an egg. The fish fingers were really good. There were 6 pieces in total and the size was big enough.Loved the taste . It left me wanting for more of it . definitely visit this gem of a place

Very good food with ancient roots... Good workers... A bit congested though ... Fish kabiraji was the highlight and it was perfect... Other mutton items was good as well

One of the oldest known cafe of kolkata...with quality food at great price

Famous for Fish Kabiraji.. But I also suggest to try chicken or mutton cutlet.. Both are awesome

Mitra Cafe is always special for. Because of some precious memories. After 5 to 6 years today we visit the Cafe.Service boys are new... Test the Fish Kobiraji. But Missed the old flavor (by food and by nature).S. Ganguly

Place shifter a few yards towards CR avenue. Seating is outside. Place getting renovated.

Legacy is well maintained.. fish finger was delicious, mutton cutlet was good. Would like to recommend all who still want to hover around the nostalgia

Great food but small place to sit and enjoy

ONLY Food is good.....

I tried Egg Mughlai and Fish Kabiraji here. It was good considering the price. As its a very small shop theres really nothing to talk about its ambience. The good thing is they have AC on the first floor. There are very few seats available here. So you better come sometime when its not crowded. The taste of the food was good but not great. I have had better Mughlai at other places. The hygeine is okay not very good as they make food by the roadside. Also they dont add GST which is always good. Come here if you have the munchies for fast food and want to get a quick bite for a really cheap price.Taste - 3.5/5Portion sizes - 3.5/5Hygiene - 2.5/5Price - 1/5 (Lower is better)

Diamond kabiraji and chicken kabiraji and brain chop must..

Very tasty foods. Heritage place. Old and Good.

A old cafe in the heart of calcutta todays kolkata..Great teaste great food.Quite small but air conditioned..food is good but the side sausces sucks.. not at all good

The fish kabiraji was delicious and pure heaven! Didnt have time to try other items. Highly recommended!

Mitra Cafe is serving us for more than 100years now, taste of food is awesome. Famous for kaviraji, cutlet and other fries.

This review is for the Shyam Bazar outlet of the famous fast food chain in Kolkata. Most would argue the Shobhabazar outlet to be its most authentic representation for it being its first store and I do not intent to argue with that but the Shyam Bazar one holds a special place to me, but we shall be back to that a little while later. First lets review the food.Almost every item in the menu is someones personal favorite, and rightly so, cause every item is quite well prepared. In the age of snack bars where most items in the menu feature some permutation and combination of the same five-six base ingredients, Mitra Cafes menu offers a varied range of items that require different preparations, flavor combinations and are suitable for different meals of the day.From stew to biriyani, hefty spice pumped side dishes to light snacks, the cafe has something for everyone. But, there are two items that come hand in hand with the name of Mitra Cafe; fish kabiraji and fish fry. If you google Mitra Cafe, pictures of these two items would flood your screen thats how iconic these two items are, the first being the more celebrated one of the two.If you are motivated to visit Mitra Cafe after reading this review, be a good lad and order the diamond ones (the diamond fry and diamond kabiraji). Most will say they are just the larger versions of their regular counterparts. NO, THEY ARE NOT! And if they are then, my friend, size does matter. And if you are planning to order just one item from the menu then order the fish diamond fry. According to me, it is way underrated.Now the negatives. Well the dining area is significantly small. But, I find it quite endearing, probably because I have spent a lot of joyous hours of my life there laughing and sharing food with my friends. But I also like it because there is a growing lack of human connection around us. Everywhere we go we are offered options to minimize human contact. Single booths in cafes, single seats in trams and where there is no such option one can always bring out the earphones and with a mere touch on the smart phone can separate oneself from the rest of the world. Mitra Cafe almost snatches that privilege from you cause its very difficult to avoid the stranger sitting at the other side of the table, when they are breaking the proverbial bread with you and when you have little chance of avoiding the occasional eye contacts because of the congested setting. So go on, order a fish fry in Mitra Cafe and start a conversation with a complete stranger. And if the stranger turns out to be a total weirdo, then you always have the option to put on the earpiece and blast that familiar song and enjoy the food any way.

This is located exactly opposite to sobabazar metro Gate number one. Very famous for its kabiraji. Small sitting arrangment but taste of the dishes is excellent. This place generally remain Crowded. This place offers take away service also. Auto is available from ultodanga so one can reach here easilyExactly opposite of sobha bazar petrol pump. Very easy to find this location. This restaurant is budget friendly so must visit

One must try their Fish Kabiraji..

Good food. A little pricey. The prawn cutlet is heavenly!

A historical place... For fooding I love this place 😋😋😋😋😋😋

A must visit for everyone !!! This old (cafe) is GOLD. 🌟 Cutlet, Kabiraji, Diamond Fry and Brain Fry - I recommend !

Good foods.

Heaven for acidity inducing tasty fried food.

Just a few minutes walk from Allen’s Kitchen on Jatindra Mohan Avenue and you will be at Mitra Café. Another nostalgic journey down memory lane, old Calcutta, colonial cuisine. The shabby marble-topped tables and green wooden benches in this tiny two-and-half-room joint is no reflection of the food at all. Check out their excellent English Brain Chop (fried goat brain or Bheja Fry to today’s world) with Toasts (crisp bread toasted on wood fire), Kabiraji Cutlets, Fish Fry, Mutton/Chicken Kosha. The legendary Chicken Soup still exists in the menu. You will be grateful for the meal.

Awesome...Totally spellbound...

Just love the food, the place is not so eye catching. Is really congested, the look of it does not bring people here. The thing that draws people here are the food, the delicious mouth watering snacks they offer are highly recommendable. The fish fry is what they are mostly famous for. The fish just melts in the mouth. Bt in recent times mostly normal fish fry is unavailable, fish diamond fry is what they insist of ordering, its price is a bit high bt tastes heavenly. Other important items one should taste are their chicken butter fries , kabirajis both fish and chicken they are really large and one can hardly finish one, paratha and kasha mangsho is also very tasty. Bt the ambience is not beautiful or quiet. There is no seating place on the ground floor , people have to go up through a narrow staircase to a upper floor whose ceiling is so down that a person have to bend to avoid head bumpedin the ceiling. The place is more or less crowded every time visited .

Tastes really finger licking but dining area is not cozy

Fish Fry ♥️

Great experience. Food is amazing.

An 105 years old legendary cafe near the Sovabazar – Central Avenue crossing, with the Sovabazar Metro Station within a stones throw. This north Kolkata cafe was once a regular stop for many renowned celebrities. From Uttam Kumar to Anjan Dutta to Bratya Basu, this place has welcomed a lot of Stars. Therefore, it is a great old world charm in old kolkata.The typical style of chop cutlet placed with the old marble top tables and jaded plates and cutlery. Amongst the variety of special items, some renowned items are Mutton Chop, Brain Chop, Mutton Cutlet, Mutton Curry, Mutton Kasha, Mutton Moglai, Dry Mutton Chop, Dry and Gravy Mutton Moglai Do-peaji, Kabiraji and Afghanis . They have the entire repertoire to transport one back in time by 40/50 years.The food is astoundingly magical to foodies. Many special items of this cafe are simply go out of stock within an hour of opening. Perhaps the only letdown is their tight space which quickly fills up at rush hours!! So book your table as early as possible to enjoy a bite from the past...a taste which will linger in your taste buds for a long long time!

Tried Mutton kasha and Paratha there, it was ok. Earlier tried Diamond fry and chicken moghlai, it is highly recommended!!!

Its a cozy place mainly for snacks. I liked their chicken kasha + roti. A classic bengali restaurant where one may venture for cutlets etc. In october 2020, my review time, a remodelling of the restaurant is going on and I think, it will take at least another one year.

Devine test. Chicken kabirazi is best. But little expensive.

Delicious food

A good quality food at cheap prices. Restaurant is shabby type, uncomfortable sitting with low number of seats

Nice place to visit and for food specialy Kobiraji (Fish, Chiken, Diamond)

Tasty, authentic Bengali food with vintage outlook.

Delicious Food specially Fish Fry and All types of Kabiraji

Excellent fish fry, cutlets and many more. Branch of Mitra Cafe, Sobha bazar.

Found the golden fry fish too oily

Nice food..

Good food

A place of tradition and delicious food. Kabiraji and brain chop here is a must try. The fish used in the dishes is fresh and they serve it hot. have many outlets but Sovabazar one is the oldest.

Good.

Really nice and crispy fish fry and fish finger, we know why its so popular now. Also chicken finger was nice too. Only problem, youve to run to the nearest ATM if not carrying cash.

Very old & well known shop of Kolkata . They are one of the pillars of the cabin culture in Kolkata . Their foods are mind-blowing . They use original Vetky filet for their items . Kobiraji ( i.e. Coverage Cutlet) , Fish fry , Fish Roll , Foul Cutlet , Brain Chop , Devil are the best selling item of this shop.

Located near Gate number 1 of Shyambazar metro station this is a hertige place famous for its fries ..I have tasted fish fry , fish diamond kabiraji and egg chicken mughali from the place.Fish fry tasted great but quantity wise too less as the price is 104 with gst .Fish diamond fry and egg chicken mughlai together costed 294 with gst.Taste wise fish kabiraji was the best. Chicke. Mughlai was okay in taste

Heartthrob of all Bengalis ❤️

Very nice place

Excellent

Mitra cafe dont compromise with good quality food. Their food is so delicious

Place of nostalgia and good food. Spicy dishes yet mouthwatering.

For the love of food, this is a must visit... and i mean, Here...not the retail outlets.. any kind of snack they have on their menu will serve your appetite really well.. ideal for snack only though, not for lunch.

My all-time favorite... Fish Fry, Diamond Fry, Chicken Kabiraji and Afghani are just mouth watering dishes.

This restaurant provides traditional tasty fried foods, available nowhere else. The original outlet in north Kolkata is more than 60-year old and now it has branches in different areas of the city. This old one is located on the well known Shyambazar 5 point crossing in north Kolkata, on Bhupen Bose Avenue, near Shyambazar metro station exit on the southern side. It is always crowded by customers and Kabiraji is one of the items worth trying. However, the available space is very small-you have to enter through the basement; quite likely you may need to wait for some time to get a sitting space.

Always a fish lovers paradise. Fish Diamond Fry and Fish Kabitati are our favorites!But it is advisable to visit this joint bit early in the evening. Usually the fish items are unavailable by 6:30-7:00 P.M.

Great taste..loved it!!

An iconic place, making the best quality street food at affordable price.

Loved the ambience and the food. The waiter is a lovely person and greets everyone with love and recommends all the best items

Little bit costly but food is excellent

Goos quality food ...best for bengali fried items...must try fish fry, fish kabiraji

Good restaurant. Sitting arrangement not so good.

La jawab.....only in these word you can express your feeling after visitng...it would much comfortable if they can arrange a little bit more space to eat.

One of the must visit spots if youre a fan of the fish kabiraji. This place serves one of the best kabirajis in the city.

For any kind fish item this is the best place to taste, as well as it is very much pocket friendly

Awesome

One of the best heritage restaurants of Kolkata, running for three generations.Originally there was only one joint on Bhupen Bose Avenue but now have opened several outlets.Food conforms to now lost traditional Bengali tastes. Best are the fish items - starting from Fish Chop, Fish Finger,Fish Kabitati to Fish Afgani, not to mention Diamond cut Fish fries etc.It is a heaven for loVers of ethnic Bengali tastes in varieties of fried fish items.

Tasty food. We like Fish Kabiraji & Fish Fry.

Nice place.

The food is awesome. Cant think of any other places with the same price and the food quality

Well the place is too small for comfortably having anything at all.though the dishes are mouthwatering and pocket pinch is a little more than average compared to other snack corners around north kolkata.

Nice place, awesome foods, almost always crowded due to high demand, visit the place with time because u may need to wait for sometime. Speciality is the Fish Kabiraji. Also try ogher dishes as they are mouthwatering and tasty. Near to Sovabajar crossing, Sovabajar Sutanuti metro station. Do visit this place.

Awesome food

Very old shop at Shyambazar area near Metro Station. Mainly fried items they sell. All the food items are tasty. One of my favourite item is fish chop. It is really good in taste. Everyone can try Atleast one time to taste it.

Really the provide you good quality food 👍👍

My experience here is kind of a mixed bag. The dinning space is small & I mean it. Even the Sobha Bazar outlet is spacious compared to this outlet. I would say that this outlet is not suitable for dinning in but for take aways. I would have given 3 but for their awesome food and the fine behaviour of the staff.

Very very old and famous cafe chain in Kolkata. Famous for fish fry, prawn cutlet etc. Good quality is maintained.

Alltime favorite . But stuff behavior should be more professional..

Its a very well known fast food shop in kolkata. Food quality is good.

They are living with their past glory, even street side food tastes better than their fish fry, tastes very average!nothing special!

Visited today. Third class food. Fish kabiraji with almost zero fish. Only the oily egg bhurji cover. Fish fingers were smelling. 400/- down the drain. Visit only the Sovabazar original. All others are third class. Apanjan at Sadananda Road is a hole in the wall shop, but offers much better similar food at cheaper prices.

Good service

Nic taste bt small spaceAll meals will available after 5pm

It was good. But all the foods mentioned in the menu was not available.

Food is good and affordable. Not too high priced. However, not every item is available and veg items are generally not available. The sitting area is a bit cramped, but not too bad either...Now you will be paying GST over the bill...

Very good food quality within range.specially fish kabiraji...
