Set up in 1920 by Sushil Roy near the Sovabazar Metro station, Mitra Cafe literally translates to ‘Friends Café’ in English. Bengalis, with their love for all things chop and cutlet, can’t get enough of Mitra Café’s brain chop and mutton cutlet. The queue outside the cabin has not dwindled since its inception because their kabirajis, Afghanis and do-pyajis are to die for. While it had regulars like Uttam Kumar and Anjan Dutt in its heydays, it remains a popular joint among city goers who like to take a trip down memory lane and enjoy delectable old-Calcutta food.
