Swadhin Bharat Hindu Hotel

My favourite pice hotel in the city. Never disappoints. Fresh food. Neat and clean place. Absolute value for money. While their pui saaker chorchori is popular, a lesser known but star item is their chitol muithya, served more like a fish chop, without the gravy. Brilliant! The quality of the bhetki paturi was good too. Don't miss the chutney. Visit early since they run out of items quickly.

Pice hotel near college street. It is serving bengali food since British rule. Even revolutionaries ate here. Now come into the part which really matters: Food is overall good but according to price quantity is less. Foods taste good but every item feels sweetie to some extent. But again very good serving. Served on a banana leaf and also they provide water in clay pot. Staff behaviour is very good. A must visit place 💯.

Recently I visited this iconic restaurant for lunch while shopping in the nearby garments market with my family. We were a group of four and ordered the standard veg thali along with a few fish dishes to try. We had chital macher muithya, parshe macher jhal, pabda jhal, and topshe fry. While all the fish were fresh and the gravies were flavorful, the chital macher muithya and topshe fry were our favourites from the day. Even though it was a Monday, the place was quite crowded. So if you’re planning a visit to this historical restaurant, you might have to wait.

Tried authentic bengali food here. Very good taste. Fish items are very good. Chicken is average. Price is little higher side.

A very local pice hotel. Beautiful and warm experience. We told the server that we wanted hot food as we didn't like pre-prepared cold servings...and he very willingly obliged. I guess when you ask with a smile...and the server is fabulous, then it's a start of a beautiful meal! 😀 We left our server to decide for us. Poor guy was left wondering, but he served us a delicious non-veg thali. We had Mutton Kosha (a nice mutton chop in a spiced curry), Chingri Malai Curry (tiger prawns in a creamy masala curry), a Aloo-Saag preparation (pieces of potato with spinach), salad, homemade sweet mango chutney, crunchy Aloo Bhaja (slivers of potato goodness) and rice. We didn't speak because the food was so good and didn't need any disturbance. I had asked for Begun Bhaja (nice Chunky pieces of eggplant, roasted) which the Bengalis so well on how to respect this vegetable. I was in heaven! Because I was relishing the food, the server asked if he could bring a fish dish....I hardly had any space left in my stomach, but when I looked at his face I felt that he was hinting of something really special.....and then he brought Bhetki Paturi (a delicately prepared steamed fish dish where the fish fillet is slathered with a delicate mustard paste, then wrapped in a banana leaf; and steamed to nirvana land). Caution: you may not be able to walk out of Swadheen Bharath as the food will fill your tummy and waddling like a duck is a more apt way to explain how we walked out of there. I also had a big satiated smile on my face (which seemed like I had just sinned......the sin of gluttony)

Nice restaurant for Bengali cuisine. The old one in Kolkata has the Heritage Badge. Serve food on Banana Leaf memory of old time when we got food in Banana Leaf also now a days when some time is told to eat on Banana Leaf it is good for health. They give water in a soil water pot called "Bhar" it is also a heritage one.
