A new eatery has popped up right in the heart of Kolkata, near the city’s most famous South City Mall at Prince Anwar Shah Road. It is conveniently located in the second lane after the mall towards Jadavpur. Being recommended by a friend, I recently checked into the place and the moment I stepped inside it, I was bowled over by the quirky interiors. There were creative doodles, graffiti and more all over the walls. The ceiling too was bedecked with smart captions. All in all, I utterly fell for the jovial vibe of the place. Read on to know the deets.
The Chicken Platter That Had My Heart!
The Chicken Platter That Had My Heart!Cafe Bellywood, a Bollywood themed cafe, is one of the newest eateries in South Kolkata. The cafe blends two favourites of Indians, Hindi films i.e. Bolly, and good food ( read Belly). The walls of the cafe have artworks depicting famous Bollywood stars and characters. There are stunning paintings of Shahid Kapoor ( as Kabir Singh), Deepika Padukone ( as Mastani), Amitabh Bachchan, Ayushmann Khurrana and more. The best part is, it serves absolutely mouthwatering dishes in wholesome quantities, that too, at unbelievably low prices.
I ordered a Chicken Platter, which was essentially an English Breakfast and had a cheese-loaded sandwich, chicken sausages, crispy salami, crispy chicken and baked British beans. Each and every item of the dish was fresh and utterly delish. And guess what, the entire dish was priced at just ₹180. Clearly, I wasn’t expecting so much at such an affordable rate.
For All Those Who Love Pork…
For All Those Who Love Pork…I am a die-hard fan of English Breakfasts and have tried them in various places. This was the most pocket-friendly serve I came across. The eatery also serves a Pork Platter containing a sandwich, pork sausages, pork salami, bacon, scrambled eggs and more at ₹220. Also, though these are essentially breakfast platters, they are available all throughout the day. They Say Kolkata Is Flawed, But Here Are 11 Reasons Why I Still Find The City Stunning

My Fish Is My Fish, None Of Your Fish….
If you stare at the ceiling of the cafe, end to end, it’s full of famous Bollywood dialogues. But they have been smartly changed to speak about food. Some lines that caught my eye were.. “My fish is my fish, none of your fish”… “Ek chutki namak ki kimat tum kya jano Ramash Babu?”…. “Mein khana chahta hu, peena chahta hu, sona bhi chahta hu, bas uthke office nehi jana chahta.” The lines surely came out of a witty mind.
