4.8/5 (Read the Reviews)
Cold Monk, tucked near Police Line–Central Jail Rd in Ashok Nagar, Midnapore, quietly outperforms its modest strip-mall setting with a 4.8-star consistency: crisp, golden-brown Korean fried chicken glazed in gochujang-caramel, house-fermented kimchi that still crackles, and silky misu-dalgona affogato that lands like a cool exhale after the chili heat. Service is brisk, plates arrive before the playlist loops, and the bill stays lower than the jail wall next door—reason enough for locals to forgive the tight parking and zero-frills décor.
