  • 2/5 Dr. Reetuparna B. 2 years ago on Google • 157 reviews
    Have been eating here since 2013. Their quality may have increased for a few dishes but the price has certainly raised almost twice for eveything, making difficulties for a student pocket. Their Biriyani is not recommendable. However, the thalis are good but most of the times they DO NOT serve fresh food certainly. The fish & chickens are never fresh. Their chai/ coffee is from machine & equally bad. Their ambience is good for group of students to celebrate something. Their stuffs are non-cooperative & again, the price is very high comparing to other student-friendly food-hubs like Auroshree/ ratan pally.

    We booked a suit for 5 people for 1 night... They provided two bedrooms, one kitchen and dining and one bathroom... They have room service... Location wise it is very good and ambience is very lively... It is just beside the university campus... We are satisfied with their service

    Simply loved the experience! The food quality and taste were really good..and most importantly, really affordable rooms as well as food 😊 One has to take a toto from Bolpur station to reach this place (takes around 15 to 20 mins).

  • 5/5 Anubrata C. 1 year ago on Google
    Let me tell you about this place. This is the one of the best restaurant in the bolpur. Food Quality is Awesome & charges are affordable .But I personally don't think that we should focus on charges always as it provides very fresh food. Sometimes they use sauce much in egg chicken roll, that's the think I don't like , but still I wanna have that from there because i have never felt any problems in stomach whenever I eat from there. For couples also it's good & as well as for family too. You should visit here.:)

    This is a very sophisticated place meant for the beaumonde. They also offer homestay facility. The culinary range is wide ranging from the Continental to South Indian. Food can be enjoyed in nice thatched sheds. Some of them are reserved for the smokers.

    Good place to sit and chill with friends. Food and beverages are good. Service is a little slow. But the place is peaceful. You don't get fries in the morning.

  • 5/5 Sarbari B. 5 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    A thriving student friendly cafe.Special students combo meals available.Dining area has smoking and no smoking zone.Serving staffs are happy faced ,helpful and prompt. Limited breakfast menu of Puri sabji,Bhature and dosa.Bread or sandwiches are not always available.The place is a part of Santiniketan's history as the owner is related to famous Japanese wood crafter Kimtaro Kasahara.Attached home stay is well maintained.Two Indian dogs are kept as pets.Others strays are also fed regularly.

    A true Hidden gem of Shanti Niketan... Wide range of food available with very reasonable price and taste and quantity is very good. Environment is also good Staff Behavior is very helpful.

    A really good place for hangout with friends. You can have a variety of cuisines here also there is separated smoking and non-smoking zones. It's also a family and kids friendly place. Alcohol is strictly prohibited here.

  • 5/5 Md I. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been a regular visitor at your restaurant and i had arranged an important family dinner at your place yesterday. The arrangement was for 20 people and 4 children. I am writing this email to express my dissatisfaction with the experience we had. when I reached with my family at the restaurant, to my utter disappointment, the table was not reserved for 20 to 25 people and some of my guests had to wait for tables to be free. Furthermore, I had ordered 7 dishes with your famous fish item, but it was very disappointing last night as the taste was bland and fish was not fully cooked. The drinks arrived late when almost everyone finished their main courses. The waiters were not paying attention and we had to call them again and again for certain requirements. I inquired about you twice but unfortunately, you were not present at that time. I wanted to register my complaint to you right away so you may take some corrective measures. However, I want you to please consider this email as a formal complaint against the services I received and I want you to compensate me either fully or partially for the bill that I had paid. I look forward to your prompt response.

    Atmosphere is good. Service is worst. Taste is not too good, not too bad. Take time in hand to dine in there. They have super slow serving management. Food is a bit costly. There are washroom, sink and one swing for customers. Two zones available. One is non-smoking AC zone. Another is for smokers, which is non air-conditioned. The cafe is not located at a prime location and the road to the cafe is horrible in monsoon.

  • 3/5 Saswata M. 1 year ago on Google
    I was recommended by a local guide to visit this place, as this place had a good vibe. Well, that’s true. But the food taste was not at all upto the mark, even more so if we consider the price. Quantity is also not so great for a hungry young male, might be good quantity for the fairer gender though. Well, there’s nothing more to talk about food, many street side joints provide tastier food at a much lesser price, with more quantity. Coming to the other aspects, this place has many hut shaped seating places, open on two sides, with fan connectivity to provide the customers comfort on a hot and humid day. Each hut can accommodate at least 15 people, although there different sized huts all over the place. There is one AC seating arrangement as well, which can cater to at least 50 guests at a time. College students love this place, as they have a smoking area demarcated. College students are allowed to hang and perform here which gives this place a cool vibe, it vies for. They accept cards and upi payment options.

    A very eco friendly and peaceful place.Simply loved the experience! The food quality and taste were really good. Although service and food quantity could have been better as per the price. Other than that everything is perfect. I had an amazing experience here.

  • 4/5 Anupama R. 2 years ago on Google
    This little cafe nestled in the beautiful campus of Shantiniketan just behind Dr Amartya Sen's house captures the spirit of this ancient university in it's entirety. Frequented by the young university students and curious travellers this place encompasses the history of this little town. The food is nice and cheap but it's the vibe of this cafe that makes it worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Abhradip M. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an amazing place in the heart of the University Campus. Well designed and a spacious open-air environment. The place is typically built for the the students but a family gathering wouldn't be a bad choice. Lastly, there are various types of snacks available including Crispy Chicken, Noodles and many more. Beverages include both a combination of hot and cold serving tea, coffee to aerated drinks.

  • 4/5 Avijit D. 3 years ago on Google
    My most frequently visited cafe in Shantiniketan. Was thrilled to know about Mr. Kasahara, a great craftsman from Japan at the time of Tagore. The cafe is run by his direct family. Expect good food at decent price. They also deliver at home.

  • 4/5 Kaushik R. 2 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 shakyasingha c. 2 years ago on Google
    Terrible food, unhygienic plates, running only because of the students of the university. Only thing we could enjoy was the tea. Even coffee is from Nescafe mechine.

  • 5/5 Moumita M. 1 year ago on Google
    The sun is setting on the west coast. Arrived at Kasahara, Santiniketan Coffee House as per recommendation. The straw-covered rice, the hustle and bustle, the hearty smell of the food, all in all the place is quite nice. The evening was not bad with a fried egg and half dry chili chicken.

  • 3/5 Rudra C. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a small open restaurant within the Shantiniketan Campus. The open sitting area is nice. Food here is on sel service mode, you have to pre order, pay and collect tokens based on which the waiters will serve the desired food at your table. Food quality deserved to be better. Overall could not meet our expectations.

  • 4/5 subhajit r. 1 year ago on Google
    South Indian dishes are up to the mark. Taste of Coffee in small cups is just superb. Other delicacies are good to grab as well

  • 4/5 sayak r. 3 years ago on Google
    Maybe only place in Santiniketan where you can find quality snacks and an easy meal. All other places are flooded with mach-bhaat-alusiddo and they charge like hell from people. For us teenagers this place is the perfect.

  • 5/5 Vijay Kumar K. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved to spend each seconds over this place.great ambience but the food is a bit pricey

  • 5/5 Sourav S. 3 years ago on Google
    A hidden gem, situated at the Viswa-Bharati Campus area. It offers breakfast menu to dinner, all under your pocket friendly budget. And the food is amazing. You must try the thali (be it the veg/egg/chicken/mutton) for your lunch, there's alot of items in that thali. Staffs are very friendly too. But keep that in mind the service is kinda slow, at least we faced this issue.

    I have been eating here occasionally for about two or three years. I have seen from the beginning that the taste of the food here is very good, the service is also good. But for the last few months I have seen that the quality of biryani here is not getting better. Once cold biryani was served. Here the mixed fried rice is fine. But this time after eating mixed fried rice, my whole body became allergic, I had to take medicine for that. This cafe is pocket friendly for students, but the quality of the food needs to be right.
