Trincas (Kolkata)

Of mice and men

If the live musical performance at the flagship Trincas Bar and Restaurant is a little too much for some private conversation on a Saturday evening, attention automatically turns to a notice which mentions that there is a little family restaurant on the first floor as well, which has a different entrance at the back of the building. Get there, and what meets you is a shut door, which you push to enter and seeing nowhere else to go, ascend the flight of steps to the next nondescript door. Once you are inside, you are treated to food which is much too predictable in taste and does not live up to the Trincas reputation. The place serves both Indian and Chinese food, and it is Chinese that ought to be preferred here simply because it is the lesser of the two culinary evils carried out here (i.e. the mushroom starters are not too bad). What takes the cake (often literally so) though is the presence of mice on the floor, and a shriek from your companion who feels something soft nibbling on her toes might just make you lose interest in nibbling on your own fare!
