A very famous shop in North Kolkata, Ado Haridas Modak, which is over 250 years old.. This is one of the best places in Kolkata to have a Bengali breakfast (Kochuri or Luchi)
It is my favourite kochuri destination and i frequently visit this place.
In the morning till 10:30am you will get Kochuri (12rs per piece) with chholar daal, which i highly recommend. It is purely delicious.
From 11am till 9pm they serve Luchi (10rs per piece) with authentic Bengali Alur Torkari..
You first have to take one plate (which consists 3 pieces, either 36rs for 3 Kochuri or 30rs for 3 Luchi depending upon the time) and then you can order single piece... The taste is amazing! They also sell sweets which again, i will recommend you to have after you have completed your breakfast.
Another good thing about this place is that, they serve food in Banana leaves. No plates, just banana leaf which is a Bengali tradition.
Must try!
It is just a 2min walk from Shyambazar metro station gate no. 1. The place is situated on the left side of RG Kar Road.. Right at the crossing of Shyambazar, you will find two shops of Haridas Modak. Make sure that you enter the shop that looks old and worn out --- Adi Haridas Modak. The hall with a few wooden tables, benches offer an old-world charm which is hardly present in the city these days due to the new-found glamorous café culture. It is a very famous shop, so nobody would have in trouble finding it..
One of the iconic outlets which serves the best luchi/kochuri with dal torkari. The potatoes aren't peeled to remove the outer skin yet the sabji tasted delectable. It boasts of legends visiting the place in the bygone era and one can see the pictures of Ramkrishna Paramhansa, Netaji and many others on the walls. They have a good collection of sweets. I personally loved their rajbhog and gajar er sandesh. The place is just opposite Shyambazar golbari. It opens around 8a.m. We reached around 7:55 and in 5 mins, 3 tables were occupied. Kochuri torkari is priced at 36 rs per plate (contains 3 kochuri) while luchi torkari is at 30 rs per plate. Extra kochuri is of 12 rs while extra luchi is 10 rs per piece. I loved exploring the nearby areas full of ancient houses as well.
This 200 year old place serving one of the best luchi in town.. their food is delicious.. fast service.. per plate cost 30 rupees..and we also tried their misti doi that was heavenly delicious
