The N. S. Avenue, Serampur is speckled with scores of beaneries and food stalls. Some of them are newly built, and a few others are steeped in tradition and culture. Madan Restaurant incepted a century ago, is probably one of the most prominent bean wagons of them. But what makes them different from the other greasy spoon mom-and-pop stops is the quality of food. Being a Biochemist I will never indulge you in deep-fried grubs. But once in a while, a cheat diet is just fine. Madan Restaurant is famous for its fish chops. The stuffing they make is replete with fried fishes. I have tried fish chops from a host of other hash houses in Kolkata, but they were not so intense on taste buds.

I am sharing my personal experience. I've been there and had mutton chop & a chicken cutlet. Chicken Cutlet's price was INR 80.

This approach left me in utter surprise. We should truly appreciate their honesty & integrity. It proves their simplicity & rectitude. ❤️ I know this review is nothing in front of their heritage & legacy but still Kudos to these people. I wish all the best for their business &...
