Rice Dhoklas, Sangri And Baati-Churma: Where To Find The Best Marwari Food In Kolkata
Ten-Second Takeaway
Rajdhani Thali
They are famous for their king-size Rajasthani thalis. But also good here is the dal-bati-churma, the dhoklas, theplas, chhaas, khichri and the varieties of dal. A meal will set you back by around INR 500.
Baati Chokha
This themed restaurant takes you back to the olden days when food was had at chokhis. Do try their sattu parathas with a bowl of Nimona {a seasonal thick green pea curry}, Nenua Sabji {made with sponge gourd} and Bakheer {gur ki kheer}. The paranthas – priced between INR 60 and 120 – are a must-have. A meal for two would cost around INR 600.
Gangaur
This place is an old favourite for snacks and hearty meals. The show stealers here are the belwa kachori and buttermilk. A meal for two will be about INR 700.
Teej
At this sister concern of Gangaur, the décor and silverware sets the mood. The Maharajah’s Thali is a must-have, as is the Jodhpur Mirch Ke Pakorey. A surprise factor – they serve liquor. The bar looks like a puppet show stage. A meal for two will cost you around INR 800.
Gourmet Rasoi
Come to ths Marwari food haven for delicious dal khichdi, pakora wali kadhi, falka, besan paratha and sangri. A meal will cost you about INR 600 for two people.
Sharma Tea
Their piyaz ke kachauri, imartti, mathri, and samosa are snacks that even our granny would have loved! Top it all up with a mug of their famous chai. Two people can eat well for around INR 100.
New Saurashtra Nimki House
If you love to stock up your house with an array of farsaans then Nimki House is a great source. Located on the Lansdowne-Southern Avenue crossing, you must have their theplas and dhoklas.
Tewari Brothers
If you have not tasted the divine samosas at Tiwari Brothers you probably aren’t a true-blue Kolkatan! At INR 10, they are a Bong guilty sin!
