I had awesome Egg devils from cafe Kolkata. They were amazing in taste and gave you the Kolkata egg devil taste. I highly recommend. The owner is lovely and helpful too.

Cafe Kolkata is a hidden gem for Bengali food lovers! You can really taste the authenticity in every dish—it feels like something cooked at home rather than restaurant-style food. The menu is unique and different from usual Indian takeout. Definitely ordering again.

Ordered for the first time 2 weeks before and was honestly impressed by how easy the whole process was. Messaged on WhatsApp, got a quick reply, pickup was seamless. And the food the Kosha Mangsho was fall off the bone tender. Will definitely be a regular!
