"One of the most iconic cafes of old Calcutta, the century-old Mitra Cafe now has several outposts in the city. People queue up for the signature diamond-cut fish fry (made from filets of Kolkata bhetki) and kabiraji cutlet (scalloped fish or meat in a filigreed mesh of whisked eggs). Offal lovers come especially for the brain chop: breaded croquettes made with spiced goat brain." - Priyadarshini Chatterjee
