This outlet of the small Bhubaneswar chain is widely regarded by locals as the best place in town to sample authentic Odishan cuisine, including aloo bharta (a delicious mashed potato and aubergine combination), dalma (the restaurant’s speciality dhal dish, cooked with coconut), chhena poda (a yummy baked cottage-cheese dessert) and numerous Odishan thalis.
It’s nothing flash – there’s a canteen feel to the place, with dishes served on metal trays – but the food is nothing short of sensational, especially when you consider the prices. First-time visitors to the region will welcome the well-translated menu with clear, English descriptions of every dish.
