Azad Hind is the place to go to satisfy your post-drinks hunger cravings… and it’s open till 2 am!
Post-Partying Hunger Kicking In? Head To Azad Hind Dhaba For Piping Hot Dal & Kebabs
Shortcut
Midnight Munchies
There are four outlets of Azad Hind but you’ll find the Ballygunge Circular Road outlet {the most iconic one!} just off Rainey Park. You’ll also find a row of cars parked with hungry {and tipsy} people waiting to get their hands on dal tadka and garam butter naan. On special occasions, they’re open till the wee hours of the morning {you won’t get a look in on 31st night!} but every other day they’re open till about 2 AM. Sit in the comfort of your car, head in to the seating space or {if the weather is good} use the roof of your car as a table, the chilled-out vibe of this dhaba is infectious.
Azad Hind is all about consistent quality. Try their signature paneer or chicken butter masala, and dal tadka and mop it up with their melt-in-your-mouth, super-soft fresh naan. Everything is piping hot and fresh, just off the stove. The paneer is soft and crumbly. Want a lighter option instead of heavy curries and masala-laden food? Even their kebabs are tender and juicy {the reshmi kebab especially!}
Super bonus: They serve everything very fast. There’s practically no waiting time {unless there’s a big crowd}.
Anything Else?
Winter is the best time to go: it’s when you can enjoy the butter-y goodness without worrying about your summer body.
They even do home delivery {you can order online on Zomato!} and take away if you’re not up to roughing it out there.
