Golpo – Bengal Cafe & Restaurant
Golpo began with two friends, a cup of chai and a shared dream on a trip to Bangladesh: to bring the true taste of modern Bengal cuisine to Cambridge.
We stay true to the traditional methods and flavours of Bengal’s rich food heritage, using the freshest ingredients to create dishes that nourish body and soul – a story told through food, from the heart of Bengal to Hills Road.
