Swadhin Bharat Hindu Hotel

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)

It is a heritage Bengali restaurant (pice hotels)in the city of joy. Freedom fighters like Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose used to come here for lunch, and famous writer Sarabindu Banerjee was a daily customer here in his student life. Tinny shot eating place with a feeling of nostalgia. We have to wait to get our seats at lunch time, a huge rush during lunch time. Service was very fast. Come to the food, we ordered a veg thali , a baul fish, a katla fish thali. Taste was like home cooked food, not so spicy and over powered. The food was served on banana leaf and was was served in clay cup. Quality of the food was good, fishes were fresh and large in size.

Paise hotel with pre independence era legacy. Conveniently located near College Street. Hygienic maintenance, great service, food was good but not great in my opinion. Pui Shaak er chochchori stole the show 👍🏻

This hotel has emotion in every corner. Freedom fighter with many memories. We go last day arround 2 pm here the ambience as small restaurant. Seating place limited but organized. Now come to teast all of item good and mouth-watering must try We ordered 1. Sukto 2.Daal 3. Pabda macher jhal 4. Chicken curry

Reasonable pice hotel. Visited at early afternoon, so just ordered veg thali consisted with rice, musur dal, cheeps alu fry, and badhakopir torkari. Rice Served in banana leaf and water in a earthen pot. Food was fresh.Price was pocket friendly. Nice experience. Must be improved the hygienic condition.

Test is nice. Authentic decoration. Nice presentation of your ordered dish. Provided banana leaf and clay pot to everyone. Waiting time is the only blocking you for this place.

Pice hotel serving traditional Bengali food with a great variety of fish items. The food is consistently fresh and tasty. The quality of the fish is so good. I enjoy the papda fish, and prawn malai curry the most but I also order tangra fish. The favourite side here is either the muri ghonto or macher dimer bora (fish egg croquette kinda).

Very old heritage pice hotel. Clean and refreshing environment inside. Staff are very nice and smiling and helping. Every time we enjoy our food and time here. A must go in the pice hotel lists of Kolkata. Don't miss their pui shak chyachra and different fish curries.
