    Went there for having Lunch, a pocket friendly Bengali thali. Taste too good, variety of dishes. Usually too crowded, waiting line is there. But worth waiting. Recommended for sure. Service is really quick.

    The food is excellent and this is one of the best Bengali cuisine with in South Kolkata. The price and the quality of the Bengali food serve here is really great and the staff behaviour is also friendly. This place is located just opposite to Lake Mall and you can call the restaurant directly to get exact location. Food option is quite vast and lot to choose from. The quality and freshness is top class. Suitable for children, old family members.

    Authentic bengali food in reasonable price comparing to the other brand bengali restaurants. Every food item including fish, chicken, is tender, fresh and well cooked. A total 5 star experience !

    Best local food I have had this trip, thus far. Better value than Kache Koche or whatever the fancy place is called. Popular. Excellent service - plenty of staff. Besides printed menu there is a changeable one in wall - mostly fish Bit crowded and therefore the small dining room cramped at lunch. Place is so popular that they gave a queue section outside. Only two 'dissapointments' - all unlimited except my favourite dish, the drumstick one; plus foreign VISA card not accepted. Kitchen looked plenty clean enough. Will I return?: Absolutely!

    From the bottom of my heart, this is really very very heart warming lunch experience I had. This place is just in the opposite thin route( goli ) of Lake-Mall. Just ask nearby people they can easily guide you through. This place is small and little congusted but there is AC and Fan running on their full potential to keep the place cool and the food is exceptionally well cooked. The people are very very humble there. I ordered 1. Usual Veg thali - 100/- 2. Mutton thali - 350/- ( 3 medium mutton pieces) (for thalis you can refill all the items except the mutton , fish, paneer etc.) Each item has the touch of Home and very pleasant to eat. It is very good to go with your family and enjoy the lunch dinner there. If you think you can not eat more, you can pack the rest( maybe there are a little charges in packing) and took it home. So, what are you waiting for.

    At last we found some Bengali restaurant with reasonable price. We went on the occasion of Bengali New Year. We took one Katla fish meal, one Mutton meal and its cost us only Rs 520. I am pretty sure if you go any other Bengali restaurant it will cost double. Taste, quantity, quality too good. Specially mutton. I have not eaten so soft and home style cooked mutton anywhere for long time. I really recommend it to everyone

    Delicious homemade Bengali food, easily the best everyday meal one can ask in the area. There is sufficient variety in the menu, portions are ample, they have all you can eat meal options. It's crowded during high time leading to congestion in the cramped up room. Orders are delayed according to the crowd. But overall food quality is amazing.

  • 5/5 Debjyoti R. 2 years ago on Google
    Situated just a little in a lane right opposite Lake Mall, this bengali restaurant barely seats 20odd people but serves hearty bengali food. You have the option of Alacarte menu items but the best part is a thali which has Rice, Dal, Jhuri Aloo Bhaja, a non veg side dish (usually some leafy vegetables cooked with fish head), chutney and a Non veg dish of your choice. The items are all fresh and really delicious. Their Posto Chingri is a must try. A must visit for someone wanting to get acquainted with Bengali cuisine without formalities.

    Kalapata : Kolkata Awesome Authentic Bengali food Got lost in food, didnt take pics 1. FISH POMFRET : 5 out of 5 Amazingly awesome I wish I could try other food here, may be some.other tine 2. Hygine : 3 out of 5 3. Ambience : 2 out of 5, its a local shop and get the feel, nothing fancy. But its manageable if u go with this mindset. 4. Bathroom : not that I observed 5. Service : Good, staff is smart 6. Wait time : 10-15 min wait time Love this place Recommended

  • 3/5 Devalina B. 1 year ago on Google
    We had katla thali for lunch. The gravy of Fulkopir torkari and katla kaliya was only yellow and red coloured water! Which disappointed me. Rest of the items were nice, above average. Quality of rice, Daal and chatney was Good. Ambience was clean; behaviour was also Good. ❤️

    I heard about this restro and 15th sep, 2022 visited the restro.. NAME : Kolapata restaurant Location : just opp lane of Lake mall. Time : 11.30 am to 4pm THEY DONT DO HOME DELIVERY One senior lady was in the cash counter...she is a very nice and sweet person. Around 1.30 pm i went there for their fish thali.. I was soooo hungry thats why i ate all else I could not. The Katla thali was 180 rs...they served very quickly. What I loved they served in the Clean plate with Banana leaf on it .. Thali contained : Rice, Alu bhaja, alu seddho, daal, gondgoraj lebu, maach er matha die badhakopi, a big size of katla fish and Chutney.. Taste was awesome and Not tikha at all.. I did take away also as i loved the food..had egg thali rs 120(contained two eggs) and fish thali 180 rs...all the items were there except the lebu and alu seddho...i guess those are special for dine in.. Next day will ask the Aunty 😀 And i had to go to Lake mall..so asked the aunty if i can keep the parcel and later can collect...she allowed..such a sweet person.. And now on Whenever I will visit lake mall...i will visit this Hidden gem for sure UPDATE on 21st Sep, 2022 I visited again and this time I took Sorshe Kaatla thali..that is 200 rs And Alu seddho is for sit and eat only not for take away 🙂 The Rice quantity was too much for me so before i start eating I asked them to reduce that as I dont waste food. They gave me a clean plate and spoon...I just reduce the Rice and returned them...the staffs are so nice ..they asked in mid eating if i need rice or not... PS : I eat less ..so any place if i go for thali always Reduce the Rice and never ask to reduce the thali price either... So keep in mind reduce the quantity by your own does not mean the thali price will be reduced...that will remain same Everywhere and which is ok with me

    Looking for a thali or full fetched bengali menued plate on your table, visit Kalapata. They keep the authenticity of Bengali food & the gesture too to their customers.

  • 2/5 Supam C. 2 months ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    Foods served here are just fine but overpriced. Nothing special. At these same prices, one can have far superior quality foods at other restaurants. The worst part of this restaurant is it's too congested and small in size. It's too difficult to adjust the space with other customers. (To be frank, I had to eat my lunch here because of hungry and couldn't find any other restaurants around at that time)

  • 5/5 Pradipta C. 2 months ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    One of the best place in South Calcutta for traditional Bengali food...

  • 4/5 Vivek V. 1 year ago on Google
    This was an amazing experience for someone who's visiting Kolkata. The restaurant is small but the food fills your heart and stomach full. This place is a must visit for authentic bengali cuisine try. As the name says they serve in banana leaf only and it's an amazing service. Tried Katla meal and chicken meal. Prices are reasonable too.

  • 4/5 Partha B. 1 year ago on Google
    Good taste of food...However only Bengali food is available! Price is reasonable!

  • 3/5 Mrin “Max” M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was okay, though many items were unavailable on a Sunday afternoon like today. Don't know if that is usual or it was particularly today, as the staff mentioned that they were running short of staff for the day. The staff were well mannered as well as lady running the restaurant.

  • 5/5 Babin D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to visit, if you love to eat Bengali food.

  • 5/5 Duke S. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is located a bit inside and you may have some trouble finding it out for the first time. However, the location on Maps is correct. Most of the popular items in the menu are available. Quality is good and the prices are also reasonable.

  • 4/5 Subir D. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious bengali cuisine at not so high price.

  • 5/5 Dr. KrishnaPriya T. 11 months ago on Google
    Excellent, authentic Bengali food. Service was noteworthy, a single waiter who doubled as a server for all the tables and was great at guiding even non-Bengali customers in making their choice of food. You'd expect slightly better pricing for the small sized eatery like this but it's OK once in a while and the service and taste of food compensated well.

  • 4/5 Partha S. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty Bengali dishes that too available in prime location . Nice experience with "NOT TOO HIGH" rate .

  • 4/5 rohan s. 2 years ago on Google
    Basic set up to eat a solid meal. We got the Padma meal and the Mutton Kasa meal the bill was 750. Excellent deal. The meal is a thali with rice daal sabzi, aloo bhaji and papad and chutney. Add on your choice of meat fish or veggies. A very sweet boy served us, he made sure we had everything we needed. The place takes cash only so remember that. Would I go back? Maybe.

  • 5/5 Spandan M. 2 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    One of the best restaurant in this area for pure authentic Bengali food. Each & every item is good enough. Their fish items are the best. Price is reasonable too. The lady who runs the restaurant was very friendly & dearly. Only con is that the dining area lacks space. Rest all is well.

  • 5/5 Saheli B. 2 years ago on Google

😐 Simply come here for the atmosphere and history. Nothing should be eaten here. Cold coffee was a letdown. It was cold water that had been sweetened with a pinch of coffee. The fish kaviraji was satisfactory. Despite the fact that there is a no-smoking sign on the premises, I observed people smoking...

👍👍 Recently visited this place and trust me, it was worth every penny. The ambiance was great. We had Mutton Chello Kebab. The kebabs were very juicy and tender, I couldn't stop drooling! The egg yolk was runny and just perfect. The rice portion had a nice fresh smell and all together it was magical in...
