Worst place ever to have kosha , so much over hyped , I’ve heard so much about this place from a lot of people and social media platform but this place is so bad . The mutton is so undercooked , the chewing gum is softer than the mutton . Never ever to have it here , the paratha is so thin that it sunk in the oil from mutton . Doesn’t deserve even a single star . AVOID THIS PLACE

Heard so much but it was a total disaster. Tried mutton kosha and chicken liver. It may have been a place to visit once but I think most people will agree that it’s not worth it anymore. Over hyped and also the quantity in that price point is not right. Let’s not even talk about the service and ambiance (😑)

Edit. : Removing one star because the mutton isn't as soft as it used to be. And the portion is too less for the price point. Amazing food. The whole ambience of the place takes to a new level. Although seating area is a bit cramped it all makes up in the taste of the food. Must try is the mutton kosha.

Only an overhyped place... Neither the ambience was good nor the food so called famous mutton kasha and the paratha as well. Total waste!

I had heard so much about this restaurant that I needed to visit and have the authentic Golbarir Kosha Mangsho. The mangsho (mutton dish) had a lot of oil but tasted brilliant. It was very delicious and lipsmacking. The parathas could have been better and had they used a little less oil in the mutton dish that would have been better. The onions that were given to us were rotten so we had to throw them away. I would request the concerned person to please look into this as their brand name is getting hampered due to this

Holding Kolkata old Heritage and nostalgic vibes. Mutton Kosha ( Mutton Curry), Paratha with salad and special chutney tried here. Very Spicy but I am not aware of their past quality but this was down graded. There was no meat, all bones. The food this are is an a wooden type of plate. In terms of price, both quality and quantity will disappoint. Too much oil add to dish which is traditional but dangerous for health.

This place has a legacy of serving good cooked mutton in there own style. The mutton is cooked well tastes awesome and has a very good aroma to bewilder ur senses. The only drawback is the place is very congested but then for good food food lovers can go to any extent.. They serve mutton with rice, with Paratha and u also have a variety of choice such as mutton chop , mutton cutlet and so on. They serve mutton as kassa , keema, liver fry and few other items. Location can be traced with Google maps. Kindly give a thumbs up 👍 if u liked the review and did benefit from it👉👍

The restaurant may be having history previous but not now it completely waste of your time and money I have came from so long to kolkata and at 4th day of my trip I went here with alot of expectations but it's a completely disappointed me i have take mutton khosa₹260 with 2pcs parota ₹37 totally they charged me ₹297 without any proper bill and the was not cleaned the waste plates will be beside or back of you🤮. All they given is mutton bone with some rasam taste is good but giving bones is not at all worth the price & history Recommend if you want to try mutton khosa better try it in other restaurant

Price overrated. Quantity is really small comparing with price. Taste is normal. But if you taste " Mutton kosha ", it's totally bone majority. Mutton kimaa is good. Mutton Cutlet is fine but price overrated. Don't visit 😂

Pros: If you want to go for having "The grandma Style" mutton kosha, with the special unique tincture of flavour. Go there. Cons: Brand name = price. Nothing much. A place to visit one time only. NB: The place is too much hyped. But I must say there are far more better places at low rates. But anyways food is food. So cool one.

Golbari is a heritage restaurant situated at Shyambazar 5 point crossing, Kolkata. But in nowadays the restaurant has lost its status due to their quality of food. The Paratha(Parota) is very thin and the meat items are so much spicy and oily.And the price are too much according to the quantity of food they give. This is totally my opinion. Others may have like their items.

Well what should I say , most of the Bengali people from Kolkata do already know why this place is popular.... their signature dish black mutton kosha & thin Paratha, now if you ask me taste wise, of course it is good, specially the black gravy,but the thing is recently i tried again but the mutton wasn't fully cooked, it was very hard, couldn't chew it, too much oily,maybe Durga Puja is coming & there is crowd everywhere & demand also,so they are in hurry probably, definitely wanna try it in off season once again , the space is so small , you can't move much, plus they only accept cash payment no online payment accepted. With time everything is getting upgraded but unfortunately this one degraded I think. Also wanna mention they serve pre-paid only.

Not so good at all. Taste of mutton is good but the quantity is not sufficient and the mutton pieces are small in size. Although it has historic value the place is so small to seat.

Heard a lot about this place, finally came and tried mutton chop, omg blew us off, 3 for 3 people is a LOT. Taste is superb and it's a cute little neat place. Holding Kolkata's old heritage, this is one such place. Beautiful. I loved it. Go if you haven't already.

we have tried their famouse Mutton Kasha with Paratha , Mutton Keema, Fish Fry, Chicken Cutlet. fish fry was good and cutlet was average but their Mutton Kasha in my opinion is over hyped it taste nothing, also Mutton Keema was average. you can try once just for taste and for over hyped.

Not very pleased with anything. Average food quality. Had expectations not going to lie. But the classics disappointed and the food wasn't cost effective at all. Ordered Porotta and Mutton Kosha. The mutton pieces were disappointing, chewy and fully fatty.

Golbari: A legendary outlet serving one of the best Kosha Mangsho in the city. Golbari, an unassuming eatery tucked away in the legendary Shyambazar area of Old Calcutta, is not just a place to dine; it's a living legend. Situated on the edge of the iconic Shyambazar 5-point crossing, this century-old establishment has stood the test of time, serving its legendary Kosha Mangsho to hungry souls across generations. Originally named New Punjabi Restaurant, the affectionate moniker "Golbari" emerged due to its semicircular building, and despite its Punjabi roots (established by Ratan Arora), this eatery has seamlessly woven itself into the cultural fabric of Kolkata. As a melting pot of diverse cultures and cuisines, Golbari has become a cherished institution, celebrated for its age-old culinary traditions. Upon entering Golbari, one is transported into a bygone era, where disciplined queues await their turn to partake in the serious business of savoring Golbari's legendary Kosha Mangsho and Parantha combo. The mutton gravy, a work of culinary art, boasts a dark hue, a velvety texture, and an explosion of mouthwatering masala flavors that linger on the palate. The star of the show, Kosha Mangsho, is served with perfectly paired paranthas, onion salad, and a tangy tamarind chutney that elevates the entire culinary experience. While some might find the paranthas a tad oily and stretchy, the savory delight of the Kosha Mangsho compensates, leaving taste buds in sheer pleasure with every bite. The humble surroundings and traditional setup add authenticity to the dining experience, making Golbari a haven for those seeking a genuine taste of Kolkata's culinary heritage. The juxtaposition of cultures in this eatery reflects the spirit of Kolkata itself – diverse, accepting, and deeply rooted in tradition. Golbari is more than just a place to eat; it's a nostalgic journey through time, a tribute to the enduring spirit of Kolkata's culinary landscape. For anyone looking to indulge in the soulful embrace of flavors, Golbari is a must-visit destination that promises not just a meal, but an unforgettable experience steeped in history and taste.

Taste was fine but the size and quantith was very less. Its not at all worth the money and is hyped more than it should be...nothing as special as everyone says. Not the same quality anymore. Street foods and other restaurants are much much better and affordable. Very disappointed.

Food Quality not up to the mark, quantity very small, mutton is not soft, gravy is slightly bitter in taste..really not recommended,... Another important remark this is cash only restaurant, they dont accept cards and online payment as written on their board. Very disappointed

I was very disappointed with the mutton kasha dish I ordered from this restaurant. The dish was unhealthy, as it had excess oil that made it greasy and unappetizing. The quality of the meat was good.. I expected a better standard from a restaurant that claims to serve authentic cuisine. I do not recommend this dish or this restaurant to anyone who values their health and taste buds. OVERRATED!!!

Don't know where I read about it but I required a nice hike through a cool part of the city from central Calcutta so I figured I'd make this my dinner goal. Small hole in the wall shop but excellent mutton gravy/curry with roti. As others have said, lots of oil but you only live once. Excellent and well worth the experience of going up for it!

Good taste but can be more hygienic and could be better quality...very much oil and spice...oil is in very much quantity in paratha and mangsho as well. Taste is good. Parathas are over priced you have to eat 3 parathas if you want to do even a evening tiffin...because parathas are very thin and priced 11/- per pc..which is much more. Kosha mangsho 4 piece 260 rs. And it's worth it. They charge 20 rs for the plate which can be lower. And they charged something like 15 rs for some onion. Taste is good, behaviour should be better, oil could be less, the parathas can be a bit more long and thick as per price, seating areas should be large.

Not good in taste. Mutton pieces were not well cooked. Being an old hotel is the only reason people going there

Very congested.. not for vegetarians.. and overrated prices.. okay for quick snack if you are in hurry.. but not worth of paying for a meal with its unnecessary price... Won't recommend for families or groups..

Awesome👍

I won't approve of the taste as it has been famed for past 50-60 decades. The taste is somewhat below average. I ordered Mutton Kosha, but it was anything excellent. It tasted bitter, and the parathas were so chewy. Chicken kosha is fine,but nothing to be tried for another time. Service is good.. Overall, not so impressed.

Golbari's mutton kosha is one of the famous food in Kolkata. Taste was amazing , but the size of the mutton was small according to the price.

Just awesome means just awesome. I had experienced golbari kosha from my childhood, now I have after 12years and the taste is the same, means the same, nothing changed. Highly recommended to try at least once in this life

Golbari was a heritage earlier but nowadays they aren't. I heard about this restaurant from many many people but this place is totally worthless. They charged heavy prices for every item and the quantity was also very less compared to that price point. The muttons are not as soft as used to be. Very Dissatisfied

Great 👍 place to visit in Kolkata for food lovers. Food quality is awesome. I love the mutton kosha. The taste of this dish is very authentic and aroma is just wow. Loved it. The shop space is very low that is a negative point. But who loves mutton try it here.

Wonderful test , sitting argument is not good very old style . Take home is better option

Traditional old non veg food shop. Famous for Kosha Mangsho. Food quality higher mediocre.

You haven't truly lived in kolkata if you had not tired the famous golbari kosha mangsho.I tired their mutton kosha and paratha.The has been same fasnating since a long time. Awesome food. 👌 Overall good. Ratings: 5/5 Highly recommended place for mutton lovers.❤️

Only the mutton kasha was delicious. Chicken masala was not upto the mark. Though the meat was well boiled and soft. Moreover the experience is not bad. Behaviour of the staffs are good. One time visit place

Too much expensive. Taste also lost it's old glory. Better to go some other restaurants.

The curry is still good. Mutton is ltl bt stiff

Goodwill is to High for this place. Once this may have been great but not anymore. Food is not so good as per price.

The reason behind 3 star is, they don't cook rice. Rice is best with their signature mutton masala.

Good place for take away .. special mention to their age old and proven recepie of Kosha Mangsho (spiced mutton), and the tangy chutney as accompaniment

The mutton saga is back with a new twist

I had a wonderful experience

Nice

Okay

Their behaviour is so rude. The quantity and quality was also not up to the mark.They provided 4 smal pieces of muton with hard bone. Overall too bad experience.I would suggest not to go their.

Best Punjabi food

(Translated by Google) If you have never tasted the tanned meat of Shyambazar, once famous and now just named Golbari, you can come and spend money for once. It tastes good (much less comma than before) but you can get two pieces of rubber and two 90% bones in 4 pieces of meat in one bowl if you have a bad forehead (you can get a good one if you have a good forehead). But one of the best experiences will be when you see, you have to buy dishes and bowls for eating parota and tanned meat with 10 + 5 = 15 rupees from them.

Greatly disheartened with the condition of quantity of food

Tradition on plate.

prices are very high... quality is not yet satisfactory..

Golbari,which is a famous restaurent for its Mutton Kosha is situated at shyambazar .we ordered mutton kasha and parathas and mutton chop .The food is absolutely delicious but too much oily . The ambience is very congested, small cozy place and not for vegetarians.And the price is overrated. They charges extra for salads and dishes.it is only running because of its heritage and legacy .Employee behaviour is nice amd polite.

Good Food

Vintage place with it's vintage cuisine.

It's situated in popular place

Their mutton kosha is a must try. Though the price is bit on higher side, but totally worth it.

Just alive due to its old legacy. Quality has gone down drastically

Nice food.

The best mutton in the whole world, and distinctly different...

I went there to have the famous golbari mutton and ordered mutton kosha. We got 4 pieces but they were really rubbery and among the 4 pieces, 2 were totally bones. The taste was good, no doubt. It's a 3/5

Quality has dropped..

Best

Ambience need improvement. Food is good

Ok

delicious

Taste of mutton was awsm😊

Nice place... Nice Food...

Had paratha and mutton chap there...mutton chap was very low in terms of quality and too much spicy, and parathas were also like homemade, nothing special was there...went there hearing about their reputation but very disappointed with the food quality and also the space is very clumsy for dine-in.

Best mutton ever

More the Hundreds year (3projonmo) lengendary old kolkata food, 4p mutton with 2p paratha rate is ₹300.00

Really Nice taste of Mutton Kosha, however extremely costly 255Rs for 01 small bowl, not enough for even single person. Average Parantha like rumali roti is cost u 11 Rs. Picture attached Sitting arrangements are below average, cant go with small babies. 03 star only for Mutton Kosha. 04 people approx. bill of 1800-2000Rs Additional Info - Car Parking available in front of Shop there is a road, where car can be parked-Paid Parking.

The mutton kosha here is absolutely amazing. I loved it. And if you are a mutton lover, it's a must visit place. Even if you don't like mutton much, you will relish it just like I did.

This place has got quite a good reputation among the North Kolkatans. But according to me it has lost it's charm because of the recent low food quality and plenty of other options nearby. Situated at the five point crossing in Shyambazaar.

Visited the place after 20 odd years. It was quite a nostalgic moment for me. I could connect with the same taste after so many years.. Golbari Kasa Mangso is what makes the place famous and the unique taste cannot be matched with any other preparation I feel having travelled over so many places across the globe.. Trust they continue to hold onto the legacy .

This place is very renowned and historical as this restaurant was running their business since long, So I visited and tried their best dish Kosa Mangso which was nightmare to me. Curry was full of bitterness. My experience was not good at all. Even price was very high also.

Old is gold. Very nice place. Only drawback is space is very short. Foods are really good.

Dont ever take parcel from here. Becoz they give unnecessary staff other than good muttons. Yes , the cooking is outstandingly delicious. But I was very disappointed when took parcel and got only 2 pieces mutton and 2 fats of mutton which costs me Rs. 260. Quantity is very small.

Food is good but dining place is very small...

Pathetic... Both mutton ana paratha... Will never have it again

Mutton is really good.. must try..

Wonderful

love it

Not at all recommend

not bad..

Very poor food quality. Very less quantity with extremely high price. Very salty and oily. Hard mutton pieces. High salty chicken curry. Please don't waste your money here.

Meat is but..all food are not worm.

An awesome place to have non veg

Its ok. But not too good. I will never recommend.

Nice

Good

(Translated by Google) The sky bursts with the name. Personally, I did not like it. The price is much higher. If you want to eat, you must take dishes and bowls from home.

High rate, food taste good, sitting capacity is very small

The place is more of a tradition. The food tastes good. But the seating area could be improved upon. The seating area is just okaish.

This is a small cabin concept restaurant. Space is too small, overall at a time 6 to 8 people can sit.we ordered fish fry,chicken cutlet and mutton kosha paratha combo,chicken cutlet was okayish ,fish fry was tested good but amount of fish was less in it ..mutton kosha was delicious but paratha was normal paratha ....it costed 750 for 2 people

Old and nostalgia. Here you can feel the old nostalgia of Kolkata restaurant. Food quality is good and also taste is good. Here you can visit with your friends and family. Best for couples. It is located near Shyam Bazar metro, Kolkata. Please do visit and enjoy the meals 😊

Golbari situation at 5-point crossing, Shyambazar is one of the oldest food places of North Kolkata. The place has very small sitting of around 12-15 people and its entirely non-ac. Coming to food, we went their last month, their mutton curry was quite good however the parathas were too thin. Their fish fry was also good but the "pickle" served with the mutton and paratha was too "sour" 😐. However, in my opinion every item is bit overpriced in this food joint.

I visited on a rainy evening but it was pretty crowded as usual. Food taste is almost the same as I tasted for the first time 25 years back. This time, we ordered their signature kosha mutton n parata. What I liked most is their eco-friendly dishes. Don't expect ambience and service, but the aroma n taste of food is unparalleled.

Much Over-hyped,City Cabin contemporary classic kolkata street food style if you sit and eat over there they charge you for the plates and they add it with the plate price and not separately so it does not gets noticed,when you order thru a app the container charges are fine .They do have a banner displaying "NO VLOGGING" ,I suggest the owner to also display a Banner stating "DINE IN with plate charges"!Mutton pieces are tiny and i would say does not just the price! Pricing and street ambience should be reviewed!

It's located near Acharya Shyambazar..........If you Want the true taste of Mutton kasha..... then GolBari restaurant is surely the place you are looking for....Just 5 min waling from Shyambazar metro..... The best mutton one can dream,Meat lovers delight.. Not much of a fancy restaurant but if you have option better go for a Take Away........... This restaurant is not so good looking but it's famous for mutton kasha. It's little bit spicy and oily but you will like it. Kosha Mangsho is a spicy and delicious Mutton/Chicken curry from Bengal........... It is one of the most popular recipes in Bengali cuisine and is known for its great flavour and taste......❤️You haven't truly lived in kolkata if you had not tired the famous golbari kosha mangsho. I tired their mutton kosha and paratha.The food is really mouthwatering 🤤 and delicious. So, whenever you go to shyambazar , pls try this place.👌👌
