Jagatmata Bhojanalaya - Bengali restaurant in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

Century old Paise Hotel in Kolkata. A perfect place to enjoy a Bengali meal. The dishes are charged individually. There is no option for Thali or Combo. All the dishes are very delicious! However, the real Star is the Mutton! In short it's just a Culinery Delicacy! The mutton is perfectly cooked and tender! The gravy is super tasty! If anyone wants to enjoy a perfect Bengali meal and that too in a century old eatery... this is definitely the place to try out!

Venture to another pice hotel in the city. Although, didn't turned out to be great. Service was thikthak, Food was okayish and the atmosphere didn't got me in its mood. Although, the expectations were quite low then again it was not upto our marks. Food quality was quite average to say the least. Every fish we had didn't taste quite unique. Different fish juices (Jhols) were quite similar to each other. We couldn't differentiate among those. Hygiene is a serious problem in these kind of a hotel. Although, it was not horrendous! All in all, I'll state this pice hotel to be the average one only.

If you look for pure bengali cuisines in very low prices, you must search on google map about 'Jaganmata bhojonaloy',one of the most remarkable pice hotels in kolkata...the location is all perfect,guide you to an old decrepit with a narrow door. But if you can enter into it on time, your belly will be filled up with splendid meals. Yes,it's a bit unhygienic too,but trust me their cordiality will feel you more comfortable than your imagination!

Jagatmata Bhojanalaya is an Awesome Pice Hotel. It's run by Odia Food taste is superb and one must try the Mutton thali. Please ask them to serve in banana leaf over the plate and the mud glass for water. It's a simple Pice hotel with lots of History in it. Major Taste : Mutton thali cost 150 . You can order fish like telapia, tantra, bhetki, chingri, catla, rui ,Crab also available etc. Note : Mutton Available from 1 pm .

My recent visit to this supposedly legendary eatery was nothing short of an epic comedy. We strolled in fashionably late at 2:30 P.M., having eaten just two hours prior and with no intention of tackling a heavy meal. Our goal was to merely dabble in their culinary creations. But lo and behold, the first act of this culinary comedy began when they declared that mutton had taken its curtain call for the day. The owner, with all the dramatic flair of a seasoned actor, practically begged us to try their chingri or pabda dishes. It was like a one-man show of seafood persuasion, but we weren't buying tickets. In an unexpected twist, our request for "alu vate" was met with a rejection that could rival the best punchlines. Then, as if it were a slapstick skit, the owner offered a single plate of mutton, for one person only. We were left wondering if this was the world's most exclusive mutton club. But the climax of this culinary comedy came when we realized they didn't offer a vegetarian option or allow sharing dishes. It was as if we had unwittingly stepped into a food sitcom. In the end, we exited this gastronomic theater with both amusement and disappointment, not wanting to waste food and feeling like we'd just witnessed the quirkiest food stand-up routine. It was certainly an experience to remember, though not for the reasons we had hoped.

One on the best pocket friendly odiya hotel for authentic bengali food They serve in traditional way u cN sit down on floor and eat in banana leaf and table seating also available and bronze thaali u can also opt instead of kola pata. Fish is special like Rohu, katla, parsey, pabda and hilsa, chingri is also very Tasty & try chatni aamer aar tamator er

A great pocket friendly place pice hotel situated at the heart of Kolkata. The food quality and quantity is satisfactorily nice provided the very reasonable pocket pinch. Still now heritage is the best thing one must enjoy visiting this 100+ hotel. Sitting in floor one can enjoy the same food, that provides a completely different feel than the other pice hotels. Price is very reasonable. A basic meal with fish curry(Rui or Katla) may be around 200/-. The basic suggestion would be to surely go with some kind of fish in this hotel.

2nd destination of my Pice Hotel journey by following Foodka's series I went to Jagatmata Bhojanalaya. A Bengali Odia hotel located at Kailash Bose St that is more than 100 years old. This place has some sweet memories in my life. A little history : ----------------------------- I've been to this place almost 10 years ago with my Grandpa. Uff! those were days, holding his hand going to such places to eat, actually this place was introduced to me by my Grandpa only. Then somehow this legendary place got lost somewhere in my mind. Thanks to Foodka's Pice hotel series, all those memories just came back to my life once again when I revisited this place after all these years. Life now a days : ------------------------------- Working in the corporate life, sitting in front of the computer for all day and living modern lifestyle, we Bengalis forgot our tradition of sitting on the ground. So when I saw a mat laying on the ground I sat on it and I've no shame of doing that. But that wasn't the case with everyone else. The Table Chair area was full and still people were waiting to get seated. Where as on the opposite ground floor sitting room was empty. Maybe no one really likes it anymore or I'm being little too old fashioned. Well! Thats how I'm. Traditional Bengali Thali : ---------------------------------------------- I was bit late to reach there around 2pm and I found most of the dishes were already finished for the day. So couldn't follow Foodk's recommendations this time but ordered other left over fish special dishes. Macher Matha Saag Chorchori Mourola Macher Aloo Diye Jhal Parce Macher Sorse Bata Diye Jhol How does it taste : --------------------------------- All were having very distinct homely taste with the punch of green chillies. Served on banana leaf definitely changed the taste. You can choose Kasar Thala as well. Here the rice you get isn't the most thin & fine quality, it's basic fat & bold little too moist rice. Here Saag Chorchori wasn't as impressive as Swadhin Bharat Hotel. Mourola was definitely good but without potato it would have been great. Parce was deeply fried hence felt bit hard but held its taste. I was willing to try their Aamer Chutney, but unfortunately didn't got it on that day. Don't worry I've alternate surprise dessert at end. Pricing : ----------------- This place is way cheaper than the last Pice Hotel I visited. Look at the wall hanging menu board attached with the review. My bill was only Rs.192 including all 3 fish items. But if you order some premium Bengal Fish like Chital, Pabda or Chingri that might cost you near to Rs.300 just for the fish. Conclusion : ------------------------ If you've came this long and waiting for my rating then let me tell you I'm no one to rate them. They're in business even before I was born. But I'll surely make a list of my favourite Pice Hotels. Wait wait wait! I haven't finished yet. Dessert is still remaining right? Located just a few steps away towards Amherst Street you'll find Ghosh & Co. I think there couldn't be any better option than their Misti Doi to finish this journey.
