Apanjan

Tucked away in the bustling heart of South Kolkata, this iconic fish fry shop has been serving up crispy, golden bites of joy for decades – and it still holds its charm. A must-visit for any street food lover or anyone wanting to taste the real Kolkata.

This is the best place for fish based snacks like fish fry, fish roll, fish pakora, fish kochuri etc in south Calcutta. Pure vetki fish is used and quality and quantity is absolutely fantastic. I had fish roll, egg devil and fish moghlai parota and all are delicious.

Best bhetki fish fry available in Kolkata, but I personally liked their Chicken mughlai 😋 They have a wide range of varieties in their menu, the fish fry had a sweetish hint, of flavour which was unique 💯 No seating or dining facilities are available and a minimum wait of 5-10 mins is expected for sure !

The worst experience i have ever had on my first visit (and ofcourse its last too). First of all the owners' behaviour is really unprofessional and rude. We paid to QR code via HDFC Bank account UPI system, after paying them the amount was deducted from my account,but his soundbox is not giving any voice confirmation, then we showed him our account statement where its clearly mentioning paid to 'Apanjan' and to their Kotak bank account, he is blaming us by saying that we change the setting so that money can be return back to the source account, i mean how could he can give this kind of false allegations against someone? He is not having the registered mobile where he can check,but can give blame to the customers. Later we gave the statement and our ph number so that they can contact us if the money is not reach to them.

Food was outstanding,, we tried fish kachori and egg chicken devil,, both were delicious,, but the atmosphere was not that good,, while we were eating a female scolded us telling eat somewhere else,,so takeaway is better option from this place

❤️❤️❤️ Apanjan ❤️❤️❤️– The Crown Jewel of Kolkata’s Fish Fry Scene👑👑👑 If Kolkata had a Hall of Fame for legendary street food joints, Apanjan would secure its spot without breaking a sweat. Tucked away near Kalighat Metro Station (Gate No. 1), this little eatery is a pilgrimage spot for fish lovers, especially those who worship the holy grail of authentic Bhetki fish fry. 📍Getting There – A Fish Lover’s Shortcut to Happiness Finding Apanjan is as easy as finding a Bengali debating over "rosogolla vs. Misti Doi"😋😋😋 —just walk a minute from Kalighat Metro Gate no. 1 or let Google Maps be your guiding star. But be warned: once you’re close, the aroma of golden-brown fried goodness will pull you in faster than a Bengali spotting an off-season hilsa! #### The Star of the Show – Bhetki Fish Fry Apanjan doesn't just serve fish fry; they elevate it to an art form. And guess what? They offer it in three sizes—Small, Medium, and Large —because why should happiness come in one size? Naturally, I went for the Large Fish Fry (because why hold back? And obviously size matters 😜😜😜), and oh boy, what a beauty! A thick, juicy Bhetki fillet coated in a crispy golden breadcrumb crust, served with a lone but noble potato wedge —probably the most underrated sidekick in culinary history. The first bite? A symphony of crunch and succulent fish melting together, proving once again why Apanjan’s fish fry is considered one of the best in Kolkata. #### Pro Tip: Catch the Fish Kachori Before It Disappears! If you’re dreaming of tasting their famous Fish Kachori, arrive before 4 PM or prepare for heartbreak. This delicacy has the tendency to vanish faster than a cricket ball hit by Sourav Ganguly in Eden Gardens. Sadly, I missed it this time, but there’s always a next visit (or ten!). #### Premium Taste, Premium Price - Here’s the thing: great food comes at a price. Apanjan isn’t cheap, but neither is the quality. So, if you’re expecting budget bites, adjust your expectations. But trust me, every penny spent here is a penny well-invested in pure gastronomic joy. #### Final Verdict – A Timeless Classic Despite its small size, Apanjan delivers big on flavors. The shop is always crowded, especially in the evenings, but their service is swift and efficient. I’ve been here multiple times, and their fish fry has never disappointed. One day, I plan to taste everything on their menu—but for now, my love affair with their fish fry continues. So, if you haven’t been to Apanjan yet, drop everything and go. Because in Kolkata, when it comes to fish fry, this place is as legendary as Satyajit Ray’s cinema and East Bengal - Mohun Bagan’s football legacy! 🏨Apanjan 😋Date of Visit: 8-Feb-2025 📍Address: 58, Sadananda Rd, Anami Sangha, Kalighat, Kolkata, West Bengal 700026

One of the best places if not the best for fried items. This is a must visit place for Fish fry lovers. Their Vetki filled fish fries tasted like heaven. They are a little bit pricy but the taste is worth the price. Many food vloggers are making videos of this place. So I thought this place would turn out to be overhyped but my oh my I'm overwhelmed and I am happy that Apanjan proved me wrong.

I have tried multiple dishes in multiple time. Like fish fry, fish diamond fry, chicken singhara, fish momo. Last time i have tried fish momo. It was around 140 rs a plate served 4 pcs of giant fish momo. And it was awesome and too enough for one person.
