Fillers — Restaurant in Kolkata

Where simple & humble food fills up your appetite @ Fillers, Southern Avenue.!

An iconic place at Southern Avenue, this takeaway joint has been a forever hit among locals and people residing far ahead. Their USP lies in the simplicity of their food, and inspite of having simple tables to stand and grab a bite or drinks, Fillers always seem to be packed with passerby and bystanders, not counting the plethora of takeaway orders they cater to. A rather humble and down-to-earth restaurant, their speciality lies in the no-frill food they serve, which may look innocent from the outside, but packs a punch and is enough when had in its entirety.

The Grilled Sandwich came in an assortment of boiled potatoes, tomatoes and onions, well covered with cheese on the inside and butter on the outside, this was a complete reflection of the iconic grilled sandwiches found on the popular streets of Mumbai. Soft, succulent and creamy, this place offers one of the best grilled sandwiches I personally have ever tasted. The Vada Pav had a creamy garlicy sauce on top of the vada. The bun was soft and together with the vada was enough to fill up the appetite of a hungry soul.

The Alo Bonda served here was more of the Mumbaiya Batata Vada style, rather than the quintessential Udupi styled Bonda found in the Southern states of India. Pair this up with the freshly made in-house coriander chutney, or try the mouthwatering Vegetarian Burger, which comes loaded with a vegetable patty, onions and carrots, and potato chips on the side. The special attraction of this place are the iconic slushes. We tried the refreshing orange, the ever-popular mango, the sinful strawberry and a delectable mocha coffee slush.

While each of them had their own distinctive appeal, the coffee slush topped them all. A rather unique flavour to appear in the range of slushes, the balance of the bitter coffee with the cold ice was rather a unique phenomenon. A special mention their brand of chips, known as Jiggis. Crisp and flavourful, with a hint of the gunpowder, the entire proceedings earned from the sale of this chips, goes directly in the upkeeping and maintenance of a school run by the parent organization of Fillers. With such a classy quality of potatoes they possess, the french fries and the nachos here too, are well worth a try.

Fillers is best known for its fast food.Famous meeting and hanging out, cafe opposite Vivekananda Park in Rabindra Sarobar area.Good and healthy snacks can be found here. Fill your appetite with its deliciously masala fied french fries and the evergreen slush. Simple and basic options, but worth eating here on regular basis. Serving staff are humble and efficient. You can park your car here and food is delivered in the car. Spend quality time chatting and munching here. But they serve insufficient quantity of foods where the price is quite high. A bit disappointment on that. Otherwise the nachos, burger and dip were really good. Don't forget to try Jiffy's Potato chips from there. •Full vegetarian Really a quick bite junction.

Despite Fillers being the charmer that it is, with its deliciously masala-fied french fries, and the evergreen slush, the problem with this place is not the place itself but with the patrons who visit.

What could be a nice stroll to the shop has been replaced by kids in cars crowding the road and making it a nightmare for people who want to get to Southern Avenue from Rashbehari Avenue, or vice versa. You can see the waiters run hither and thither taking orders from kids sitting in cars and delivering them back to the car windows. When did we become so sloth-like? Can we not even go up to the restaurant and get our own food? And who are these parents doling out cars to their kids, to be rashly driven around or trashed with food.

Times, they are a-changing, and not...
