All the F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans out there!
Something out of this world happened in Kolkata recently. Something that’ll fill you with envy of all the Bengalis even more! You ask why?
Okay. Answer these questions first.
Have you felt like sitting on that iconic orange sofa? Have you wanted to find friends in Central Perk like Rachel did? Have you wanted to not share food like Joey does? Have you felt as deeply about our history as Ross does? Have you felt like sitting there to drink six or seven espressos like Chandler did? Or have you felt like singing “Smelly Cat” in the cafe like Phoebe did?
If you have then all your fantasies might just become a reality for you if you’re in Kolkata because the city just welcomed the first ever F.R.I.E.N.D.S Cafe in India!
The creator brother-sister duo Mahima and Aditya Bachawat has managed to get in as much authenticity in their representation of their Cafe as possible.
This is what it looks like!
Well alright, it’s not the exact replica of Central Perk, but it’s a pretty good representation of all the trivia items that will remind you of the show and make you feel that it’s familiar.
For example, they have this!
Yes. For real.
See this!
As themselves being ardent F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans, it only made sense to them to start the cafe with as many F.R.I.E.N.D.S things they could cram into their space.
Pat the dog is there!
This neon Central Perk sign!
And Phoebe’s cycle as well.
Just outside the Cafe this mural is there too! So much feels!
And you can fulfill your lifelong dream of sitting on that sofa!
The interesting thing about the cafe is their menu is vegetarian keeping with Phoebe’s choices but they do have the dishes made popular by the show, especially Ross’s Thanksgiving Sandwich with the Moistmaker.
All in all, it’s a complete treat and a joy to see someone venturing into the fanbase of F.R.I.E.N.D.S and there’s finally someplace fans can feel like they are living their favourite show.
Kolkata people are too damn lucky and I wish I was in Kolkata right now! What about you? 😀
