Bengal Cafe is the kind of place where you want a decent cup of coffee and want to grab some Indian snacks. Indian milk tea, samosa dumplings and the like are common on the menu, and coffee is also serious coffee, not instant coffee. It is suitable for a cup of chai to refresh yourself in the morning, or to cushion your stomach when you are hungry in the afternoon. The atmosphere is more casual, so you don't have to carry it.
