Swadhin Bharat Hindu Hotel - Bengali restaurant in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

In my recent trip to Kolkata, I finally got a chance to try my hands on this one of the oldest pice hotels located near College Street, though the location was bit confusing still I was able to locate this place after asking quite many nearby people. With regards to the review of food I tried here, everything I ordered here was above my expectations. Tried their Parshe macher jhaal, mutton kosha with paratha, jhuri alu bhaja, macher dimer bora and topse fry with stream rice. Must recommended place,

Due to Bengali tradition and hearing the name of this place, I wanted to have lunch here for a long time. But finally I understood that "eraa dhaare kaatte naa bhaare kaatte". Food quality is nothing special. Clean environment. Banana leaves and water - everything is fine. But after seeing the amount of food and hearing the price I could not believe that such a small amount of fried or curry could cost so much!I reassured my mind that I don't eat every day anymore, I tolerate it for one day. Expected to take Maurla fish scales but the test is very normal. Meaning not as much as its name has been hyped. OK as a normal rice hotel. Only the price is higher. Few days in a year can be spent as an ancient rice hotel in Kolkata

Visited this place today as I wanted to experience the 'Pice Hotel' vibe. Food tastes amazing even though it does not look that good in the pictures. Service was quick and pricing is reasonable. Mutton and fish items are a must try including 'Chitol Macher Muitha'. Cleanliness is maintained and will definitely visit this place again if I visit this area.

Food is good, taste like home cook food. However, the price is high compared to any pice hotel. Ambiance is not that good, I don't feel its hygienic as well.

We wanted to order mutton curry, but that was already finished (lunch time) . A few more items were also already finished as told by the waiter, so we had to settle for fish curry. This is an authentic Bengali restaurant, so the cooking & food quality was good, but not worth "the hype". Behaviour of the staffs was good, too. There was a big line, so we had to wait some time before we could finally get into the restaurant and find a seat.

Visit for the first time the food tastes way more better than Other famous 5 stars or well known Bengali cuisine serving restaurants. Homely food accompanied with great service. A must visit place.

Good food, traditional food. One should try the traditional Bengali food here..

One of the oldest bengali pice hotels in College Street area bearing the memories of our revolutionaries. All items of the meals costs separately. Surprisingly, the full thali cost is moderate to high and the place is a bit unhygienic.
