Ramakrishna Lunch Home

The 31 Best Restaurants in Kolkata (Calcutta), India | Eater

"South Kolkata’s Lake Market area is home to the city’s South Indian population. Among the neighborhood’s eateries, you’ll find Sree Ramakrishna Lunch Home, housed on the ground floor of Bhupendra Mansion, which dates back to 1955. The place is particularly popular with morning walkers and joggers, who come for a filling and relatively healthy breakfast of pillowy, soft idlis, served with fiery podi or fresh coconut chutney, the latter crowned with a mound of fried lentils, mustard seeds, chiles, and curry leaves. There are also soft medu vadas (doughnut-shaped fritters), a variety of dosas, and decent filter coffee." - Priyadarshini Chatterjee
