The Guide got a Bengali Mid-Day reader to drop in at two Bong eateries in the city and tell us what was authentic and what was missing

When we decided to review the Bengali eateries around town, Subhojit Saha, a PG student studying Mass Communications, seemed to be a perfect candidate to guide us. The avid foodie first took us to Top in Town off FC Road, which is a favourite with students, and Radhika off Senapati Bapat Road.



Top in Town claims to be a specialist in Bengali food but scanning through the menu, Subhojit observed that there were barely a few traditional items amongst the kebabs. He opted for Mughlai Paratha (Rs 40), which was served with dry alu sabji and was topped with onion rings. It was crisp and tasty and made you remember the amazing fast food served on the streets of Calcutta. Savouring the Fish Curry (Rohu for Rs 85) and Rice (Rs 35), Subhojit felt there was too much of garlic in the curry though the fish was soft and fresh. He was a tad taken aback when he saw there were no sweets on the menu as only a true-blue Bengali with a sweet tooth would be. Nevertheless, the range of rolls including Chicken Roll (Rs 50), Double Egg Double Chicken Roll (Rs 60) and Egg Roll (Rs 30) are a must-try. Subhojit noticed that there was virtually nothing for vegetarians on the menu. The service at Top in Town was satisfactory and the attendants were prompt in attending to our requests.
