Kewpie’s

Popular with local celebrities and bigwig visitors to the city, this tiny family kitchen has been well marketed but is not necessarily the most authentic (for that you’re better off visiting Suruchi, ideally combined with a visit to South Park Cemetery). The menu changes daily, but the highlight is Kewpie’s thali (multicourse platter)–various fish, vegetable, and meat items (or strictly vegetarian items), served with different breads. Talk to the helpful Purnima Dasgupta for explanations of the dishes or ingredients.
