A classic food place. The channa is to swear by and the panner is also delicious. The naan was also soft and had a sweet after taste. Its a great place with great food, they have amazing cold coffee and gulabjamun as well.

The nostalgia of this place from my childhood makes me go to this restaurant everytime

The most famous dish of this place is the Chana Bhatura

It's yummy, Bhatura are nice.. but what I actually go for is the Chana.. they are very different than what we regularly get at other places

It has no gravy, the Chana are soft and is very delicious. They are just perfect for that cheat meal.

They have started the air conditioning section too.

I highly recommend this place .

Have been visiting this place after really long time. And one thing is sure something's just don't change !!

Both South Indian & North Indian cuisine here lip smacking.

Dosa's are must try. Crispy and cruncy filled with that perfect mixture of aloo and Served with sambhar & coconut chutney.
Sambhar tastes so good that you'll want more of it.

I had the Butter masala dosa & Dhania masala dosa.

Butter masala dosa had that perfect Butterly flavor that goes perfectly with the coconut chutney & the Dhania Masala dosa is what I would suggest you all to try. It's definitely going to entice your taste buds with the perfect blend of spices in this Dosa that blends perfectly with the sambhar.

And to end it on a good note, Do try their Filter coffee !!

Just an amazing taste. Had some real nostalgic moments.

You get the Best Chola Bhatura in Kolkata here.
The place serves veg food.This is one place where as a kid I've always been to with my grandfather just to have cold coffee with ice cream.
I love the Chola Bhatura here and recommend it to all..one must try !

I’ve been having the chole bature’s and the chowmein and also the north indian here since childhood.. And to end this crazy tasty food with the best cold coffee with ice cream - perfect blend of coffee, milk, sugar and ice cream scoop 😍

Located in Chandni Chowk, a small place where the food gives you so much happiness that you forget whether there are AC’s or not to beat the heat.. It’s a cafe with the restaurant quality food where you stand and have ..

Staffs - *****
Food - *****
Price - *****

Do you need anything else ?? - I guess NO !

This restaurant is centrally located in Kolkata , heard the name many of times but couldn't able to go & have it thier dishes,
So finally I ordered two masala dosa through online delivery,
Packaging was good , they could have upgraded their packing more upto the mark but nevertheless
Dosa was absolutely good as well as the sambar pure authentic south Indian flavour was flourishing,
Hoping to try their another dishes near future.

A little eatery on Ganesh Chandra Avenue serving all kinds of vegeterian food from South Indian to North Indian to Chinese. Well as the name says it's far from the so called Cafe. There are a few tables on which u can place your food but have it standing. There are no sitting arrangements. We ordered only lassi which was quite good but was on the pricier side. Very famous among the office goers for a quick bite.

The unfailing mission of 'Mission Cafe' is to pamper the taste buds of its clients. Mission Cafe is famous for its chana kulcha, pizzas, south indian cuisine, and sandwiches. The only flaw that can be associated with the cafe due to restriction of space, there is no seating arrangement

It is situated at a very famous area called Chandani Chowk. Most of the offices are situated in chandani Chowk itself. The space was small earlier, where you had to stand and eat. But, now, they have started their own AC restaurant beside the old one. Great initiative on their part!
Mission cafe is very very famous! And I am not kidding! Every office goer of Chandani Chowk knows about this cafe. If you haven't visited yet, you should definitely visit this place some day. Vivek Jaiswal Hriday

The place is good but carries one disadvantage that is you have to stand and serve yourself still channa masala and butter naan is recommended at cheap price

If you are looking for a pocket friendly place with good quality food in Chandni Chowk area then this is the place you must go. Chole Bhature of this place is famous in Kolkata. No sitting facility available. If you are looking for a lunch then I will suggest you to go Kaka Tea.

Crowded during lunch time. Vegetarian foods are quite delicious. No such seating arrangements. Ordered veg chowmein and tandoori butter nun and aludum. I like the taste of chowmien. But tandoori butter nun was thin and crispy. I really don't like the nun. Nothing says about the ambience. But staffs are helpful and very friendly behavior. Price also OK. The quality is good.

...No extra additional tax and vat...

This place has to be one of the best places in town for Chola Bhatura! Only thing they could probably work on is the presentation and hygiene. Otherwise, top place for snacks/finger food.

If one is visiting Kolkata and is a foodie then Mission Cafe visit is a must. Having said that it is almost adamant that you try the signature chola bhatura or kulcha. I have never been to a restaurant that serves such high quality of food and that too at a reasonable price. I visit this place very often just to have chola bhatura, it has the same biryani effect on me.
Although I am not a huge fan of it's other dishes but those of fine too.

P.S. There are no chairs available. So you might have to stand and eat or can always get a takeaway.

A well known old face. Situated near chandni chowk metro in ganesh chandra avenue. No chairs to sit but 6 - 7 tables to stand and eat. Place was clean. Café cum south indian eating house which serve according to me above average south indian and other snacks. Their café products were good. Ambience and hospitality was good. Service was in time and presentation was okay. Price was bit high. I tried their masala dosa it was taste good nothing special. Chatni was average but sambhar was really good.

It is a small cafe located on Ganesh Chandra avenue. It is an old and quite known place. There is no sitting arrangement but there are rows of tables where you can have your food. We had toasted cheese sandwich, onion masala Dosa and Dahi vada. The food was good and the service was quick. The staff was very cooperative. But the prices are on the higher side.

This place is just fantastic. The Chana Bhatoora is a dish to die for and also the cold coffee along with it. A small place near Chandni but very old and renowned. North Indian is also good and service is fast. Should concentrate in little renovation if possible

If you don't mind having a completely vegetarian snack and standing the entire time while you're having it, this might be the place for you. For the price they're charging, the food is brilliant. The Cream Coffee is one of the best affordable cups I've had at a café.

So being a daily visitor to dalhousie and ganesh chandra avenue for work, i have tasted mission cafe's food too many times. This is the place where food gets ordered from most of the CA & Law firms. It's a vegeterian restaurant and serves quality food. You can surely taste the south indian foods, its good. And for lunch I prefer the jeera rice and paneer butter masala, which is really good. Try out chili paneer with butter tandoori nan, its really tasty.

Was looking for a good place to eat in this area and found this on Zomato. Well, the place is good, ambience will give you the feel of old Calcutta and the waiters are little bit cold. Food is great and so is the coffee. No airconditioner and you have to stand and eat.
Try it once for sure

Well this is my mom's favorite place for chola bhatura, and she doesn't just like any place very easily! The paneer rice is ok too. I'll always love this place, more because of a personal connect maybe :) But do try the chole bhatura here!

It's a legendary place next to the chandni chowk metro station where I often go for the dosa, coffee or kesari tea. Lots of other great savouries to saviour but this is usually my staple breakfast when I go electronic goods hunting in chandni chowk

Its situated at a very noisy place.. The waiters and staff also create a lot of noise. But is serves some standard stuff, which is priced within the reach of the sales force or spare part buyers who regularly frequent G C Avenue. I ordered masala dosa.. I found the samber bit too tangy. the cold coffee with icecream was good. My friend who ordered pineapple shake found too much of artificial flavor. 
It isnt a place for foodies .. Its a place for a quick bite and the joint serves the purpose. Since it is vegetarian, the clientele is also different,

This a different kind of place all together. They have tables but no chair. Ya Stand and eat sort off. And looks like a chaotic place when you look at it. However food they offer are really delicious. The menu is not vast but very much appropriate to include almost variety of food that people like in general. It's filling, its tasty and its in budget.

One of the best restaurants in Central Kolkata. Situated at the busy hub of the city, you'll always find this place crowded. From the lip smacking dry chana to the soft baby Nan to the refreshing Pineapple blossom, this has been among my favourites for a long long time. The only downside to this vegetarian heaven is that there is no place for us to sir. The kulcha has turned out to be a bit oily these days. I would recommend going for Nan with chana and paneer. Absolute bliss. Strongly recommended.

This is an uninviting place near Chadni Chowk metro. But it serves perhaps best and the most hygienic vegetarian food in the whole of Dalhousie. The tables have got no chairs and you have to stand and eat. It becomes kind of irritating standing and waiting for the food as they take a lot of time to prepare the food from the scratch. But the food is worth every pain you take to have it. Must try the samosa and pizza!! And it's very cheap.. That's why 4/5..

This was my first visit and I am in love with their white tea served with saffron. The taste was awesome. I sat outside under the tree and the tea made me forget the traffic commotion outside. It was a big cup of tea and of a high quality taste, and it costed 25 rupees. I bet the CCDs will meet their closure if many outlets of mission cafes crop up in the city serving their creamy and delicious tea.
I got to visit here many more and try their other beverages.

It's situated in Ganesh chandra avenue near chandni Chowk metro station. Have been there uncountable times and the taste is always the same. Loves to have food over there especially chana bhatura. It's their speciality. South Indian food is also good.

It's a restaurant basically meant for office peoples as no seating is there. Only 6-7 standing tables are there and you can have food in your car also. They will serve there. But really very nice food. Will surely recommend to try out there.

This outlet is situated, straight from Ganesh chandra avenue. It is a small place, no palce to seat. Its famous for its chana baturra, and its delicious hot gulab jamun. Bread pizza is very much suitable for snacks. We have many times ordered these items, for a delivery at office. It is mainly flocked by office people and students. Ambience is not so good.

For as long as I can remember, getting here was a mission by itself, considering this is one cafe that isn't on my food'print!
But the journey is well worth it, given that whatever I have had here, has been hugely satisfying and is money (and effort, not at all in this order) rather well-spent!
To cut a long review short, I could kill for their sumptuous Channa Kulchhas - which is incomparable in the price range (Psst: Kwalitys on Park Street, serves a sit-down version with humongous fluffed Dalda-fried kulchhas, but at a luxury price range!)
Mission Cafe's kulchhas are rather oily, but I'm not complaining! (I'm just warding off cynics who are fussed about greasy food!) It's the channa that is the clincher: Dark, dry and baking soda-infused, but soft as hell and with the most memorable channa masala and a reasonably decent-sized chunk of soft, boiled alu with a sliver of lime, without which the dish is simply incomplete! I insist on kachha pyaaz and one mirchi as must-haves, all to be washed down with a chilled Thums Up!
All in all, it deserves a 'standing' ovation (literally) and your mission for some amazing food is bound to be accomplished here. You have my word!

Mission Cafe - A pure Veg eatery.
=====
Intro:
Located when you walk straight from ganesh chandra avenue, (walking from Paradise Cinema, Esplanade, Cross Aliah hotel and the next ganesh chandra avenue crossing take a right) cross lalani stores/saboo stores and there on the right side you locate the board saying mission cafe. The cafe is not extraordinarily designed but has a simple eat and go concept. They don't even have chairs to sit. The concept is stand and eat. Personally, i would prefer a bit more hygiene and less mirrors. 

Nevertheless, plain sailing menu and looking at the ambience a bit, i continued with my order. The staffs were courteous and welcoming. 
=====
Ordered:

1) Chola Bhatura - The chola's were amazingly tasty. Reminded me of Pindi Chana. (Punjabi Dish). The bhatura was way too oily and not even like a bhatura. It tasted to me like papad. Disappointed with the bhatura. Highly satisfied with the chola's. 

2) Cheese Onion and Capsicum Pizza - A bit home style pizza with a thick dough base. Though Tasty but could have been better if a bit more thin. 

I took a sprite to gulp in. Burpppp! Bill came to 240 bucks. 
=====
Meal for two: 300 - 500 max.
=====
Pros:

1) Welcoming Staffs. Good hospitality.
2) Quality is not bad.
3) Stand and Eat Concept in Kolkata.
4) Pure Veg Kiosk.
5) To me, it was reasonably priced. 

Cons:
1) Not every one would like to eat standing. 
2) Ambience is nothing extraordinary.
=====
Summary:

Food Quality 3.6/5
Food Quantity 3.6/5
Taste 3.6/5
Hygiene 3.5/5
Value for money 3.5/6
Hospitality 3.5/5
Ambience 3.2/5
=====
Conclusion: 
i would revisit it soon to give more detailed review on other specific dishes. From my observation, i found people mostly eating Indian Food here.

Eating here since childhood do have a great expectation from them. However staying away from home for work never always get an opportunity to visit them. However got a chance to visit Mission cafe after 7 years. The tastes still remains the same even though there is a slight increase in price.
Their Chana and baby nuns are still awesome. get good south indians and North Indians. Overall was extremely satisfied with what we had. Loved it !!

this joint has been there since ages nd is famous for its "chaana kulchas", "Butter Naans with Vegetable Kebabs" and its milk shakes.
The chana Kulchas served here are lip smacking except tht the kulcha is sometimes a tad oily. Veg kebab is "a slice of paneer, cauliflower, capsicum, tomatoes and potatoes" tossed in a masala graavy. Served with hot baby naans, it is a treat to have.
have been here on numerous occassions and would continue to visit this place on a regular basis in the future.
