Khedu Shaw started this establishment in 1918. Yes, Kolkata was different back then. The freedom movement was at the peak and this shop was known to be the den for information exchange. While many would think that people were having their evening adda with telebhaja from this place, the freedom fighters exchanged information. And it was during that period, Mr. Shaw first met Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. He was so much impressed by the personality, that still today, Lakshmi Narayan Shaw distributes telebhaja free of cost on 23rd January each year- on the birthday of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, a practice started from 1942. Even today, many locals refer to this shop and its fritters as Netaji r peyaji.
Telebhaja, or fritters, is anything quoted in Besan and deep-fried. It can be boiled potato mashed with spices for aloo chop or sliced onion as peyaji. The besan batter is generally spiced with nigella and seasoning. Items are dipped in it and deep-fried. Voila, the magical evening snacks for Kolkata is born. But the thing is not that simple at Lakshmi Narayan Shaw.they have many varieties. In fact, some of their most loved items are quite unique. For example, the aamer chop (made with seasonal raw mango to impart the tangy flavor) and soyabean cutlet are quite famous.
A historical place where the Legend Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was used to visit during his early age. Must visit once if you are near to hathibagan area at Kolkata and this place is also famous for its different types of delicious fried items (in our local language "Chop")
Delicious food delicacy of Kolkata! The chops are freshly made and are crispy, a great variety, especially the aam er chop is my favourite, online UPI payment mode is accepted, just the person taking your order is a fractious and little temperamental, otherwise amazing experience.

I have been hearing for a long time about this 103-year-old Laxmi Narayan Saw chop shop whose mango chop in Kolkata is famous and whose taste has not changed in 103 years. You have to be patient with the line and then you will get all the famous delicious chops. Don't forget to try the mango paste. With one bite I understood why it is so famous.

They have more than 15 types of chops and among them aamer chop is their identity. I tried aamer chop, kashmiri chop and paneer chop. Kashmiri chop was not upto the mark but rest were fantastic. This is the most famous choper dokaan of North Kolkata or you can say whole Kolkata. On weekends you will face a little rush here. Check out some photos.
Excellent place for snacking. The telebhajas are lip smacking. Also the papris, gathiyas, aloo chips and the cornflakes chanachur are absolutely amazing.
Have been wanting to go back here for years and finally I did. They didn't have the legendary Fuluri when I reached but they did have hot Beguni's being friend. Though everything is deep friend in oil but when you eat them you realise thay oil is not dripping from them and they have been strained very well after coming out of the frying pan. Spice level is just for adding flavour & not over the top as is the case with most joints these days. Apart from this you can also buy various types of packed namkeen which are equally good with not too much salt in them and no smell of oil or grease.
This legendary place deserves no less than 5 stars. Located at Hedua Laxmi Narayan Shaw serves one of the freshest telebhajas of Kolkata. The historical connection during the pre independence days with our Netaji adds the major feather in its crown. Hospitality is nice and the snacks are exceptionally Tasty causing no problem in digestion. One can try the Capsicum Chop, Dhoka er Barfi, Aamer chop and Mochar chop there.
Best of all fries shop. One can reach them through online food order by Zomato. All the fries available here are of unbelievably so cheap in value. Fresh and healthy. This shop is historic and of 101 year old. According to the owner, this place was a meeting hub of freedom fighters during British reign.
This place is awesome, you get all type of chops here. Their Piyaji is very famous, many people use to come here regularly to taste the flavors, even if I visit here I use to eat 3-4 chops here including the famous piyaji.
It is one of the legendary vegetarian pakoda shops of North Kolkata.

Lakshmi Narayan Shaw and son, the 100 years old shop serving delicious chops and televaja is one of the legendary Street food outlet. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose used to frequently visit this place which is yet another reason the place can be termed as one the iconic places of Kolkata.

Kolkata Oldest snack point with some Kolkata's owned snacks which makes you feel hungry
If you are looking for a quality "chop" made with love and delicious just go for it. They put there love and passion while making the snacks and they are so delicious that you won't go for dieting again lol.
My recommendation are as follows:
1. Pyaazi (most common and best in Kolkata) 2. Panner cutlet 3. Soyabean Chop 4. Beguni (My favourite)
Some hidden information:
On Netaji's birthday they provide free snacks to everyone on that day they do some sort of donations to the street people and all other people who join the queue for the snacks collection.
