The breakfast served is soo good value for money nad the sweets are very tasty and fresh
This is located in shymbazar 5 point on the side of maniktola.The way they feed us is really awesome. They use bananas leaf instead of using plates to serve foods. I personally feel like banana leafs add more taste to the foods. The quality of the food and sweet is also good. I am a very old customer to this shop and love to eat here because they are still holding their quality. The jive goja is the unique product of them which I like the most. Their also famous product is chanar chop which is made of Chana and black pepper and is coat with some bread crumbs. Overall really love the shop and I recommend it for age people and of course for all
Haridas Modak is one of the oldest sweet shops in Shyamabazar,Kolkata, better known for their 'luchi & alur torkari'. Only Bengalis can relate to this emotion towards luchi - although it is unhealthy for regular consumption, the dish used to be the staple Bengali breakfast for centuries.
The love for luchi is heightened when Haridas Modak serves it on banana leaves with sweets like Rosh-Malai or Chanar Jilipi..! Pure bliss on an Ashtami morning...
Don't go on the looks. This classic restaurant located in Shyambazar is sure to astonish you with it's food quality.
Food :- The food here is good and I would recommend you to try out the "Luchi" since that Luchi and Potato that they give on the Banana Leaf is absolutely phenomenal and exceeded my expectations by a long shot. However, the potatoes can sometimes not be peeled properly so beware of that.
Ambiance :- The ambiance is not exactly very good but it's tolerable.
Service :- The staff is very polite but sometimes not co-operative.
Overall, a classic restaurant in Shyambazar that you should definitely try out.
This traditional place serves such amazing Luchi-torkari that it'll make you completely ignore the small sitting area or congested atmosphere.
Their Luchi-torkari is pure, pure heaven!♥️♥️♥️
This old shop is tucked away right at Shyambazar Mor on APC Road.
The charm of this place lies in the fact that they serve you luchi torkari on a banana leaf. The whole experience is awesome because it is a rarity these days to be served food on a banana leaf.
The luchis costs 6 a piece (as on July,2019).
I also took away ice cream sandesh at 15 a piece. Everyone in our family was wowed by this. It was so light and melt in your mouth. You got to have it.
After an early morning darshan at Dakshineswar temple, we stopped by here for a quick breakfast enroute to our residence.
A small shop, easily missed in the hustle of Shyam Bazaar, Haridas Modak is a very popular sweet shop in the area. For breakfast we feasted on freshly fried Kochuris and Aloo sabzi made in typical Bangla style and served on a banana leaf.
The Kochuris and sabzi keep flowing till you ask them to stop! We topped it up with Mishti Doi prepared in earthern kulhads.
Amazing breakfast, a smiling host, old world charm at very very pocket friendly prices. What more can one ask for?
And did I mention that they primarily are a sweet shop serving a delectable range of Bengali sweets?

One of the oldest sweet shop in shaymbazar five point crossing.....
Very popular shop for kachuri and Misti.
Here they serve you in bana leaf (kolapata) .
Luchi torkari is very famous...
Recently taste the "gajore halua sandesh" it's awesome..👌
Besides Golbarir kosha mangsho and The statue of Netaji, Shyambazar is known for another reason for HARIDAS MODOK. The best place for having luchi or kochuri with the mysteriously good alur torkari.

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
One of the heritage places of North Kolkata for breakfast. They are well known for their kochuri and chanar jilipi served on banana leaf. The quality is top notch. Service is prompt. Reach there as early as possible to avoid crowd. The shop opens at 6am. They serve a variety of sweets as well. Recommended for all food lovers.

I recently visited Adi Haridas Modak, an Indian sweets shop located in Shyambazar, Kolkata, and had a mixed experience. The highlight of my visit was the breakfast, particularly the kachori and Daal served in a traditional manner on a Banana leaf. It was a delightful experience and truly showcased the shop's specialty in serving unique and authentic dishes.
However, one downside of this place is its small size, which often leads to long queues, especially on Sundays. Finding a place to sit can be quite challenging, so I would highly recommend arriving early in the morning to avoid any inconvenience.
Another issue I encountered was the lack of parking facilities in front of the shop. Whether you're on a two-wheeler or a four-wheeler, finding a parking spot nearby can be a hassle.
While the breakfast experience was excellent, I found the variety of sweets offered to be underwhelming. The quality and taste did not live up to my expectations, especially considering the reputation of the shop.
On the positive side, the staff was friendly and attentive, providing good service despite the crowded environment.
In conclusion, Adi Haridas Modak is a great place for a delicious breakfast with their specialty kachori and Daal served on a Banana leaf. However, the limited seating, long queues, and lack of parking facilities can be a drawback. If you're primarily interested in sweets, you may want to explore other options in the area.

Labelled as the India’s oldest breakfast joint which is around 250Years old, well known for its sweets and Kochuri.
Situated at the famous Shyambazar 5 point crossing.
We went there on a busy Sunday morning at around 9:30. We had to wait for somewhat 10-15 mins for our turn to munch on their famous Kochuri and sweets.
After finally settling down, we were served with Kochuri and sabzi on Banana leaf. The staff were too generous and polite to everyone.
The Kochuri had dal stuffing in it though it was fried but it seemed very light that shows the cooking oil being used is top notch.
Since we were considered late to the shop we were served with alu sabzi instead of dal. The alu sabzi was slightly sweetish (which is you are going to get at a sweet shop run by Bengalis) but delicious. And finally in the end the server also brought some sweets like Chenar(cottage cheese) jalebi, Kalajamun, Nolen Gur (Dates Jaggery) Rosogolla.
Better to visit at 8AM though it would be crowded but it’s worth the wait. 😍
The price per piece of Kochuri is 12/- and rates of sweets vary from 10/- starting.
Authentic Bengali Breakfast in Old Kolkata style. Kochuri and Sabzi served here along with various delicious sweets in Banana leaf…
The food quality is good authentic taste.. Mithai was little sweet for me..
Staff behaviour is so good and polite..
Price is also reasonable.. ₹12 per Kochuri and they serve 3pcs in plate..
very good and recommended.
250 yrs old joint serving lip smacking kachuris and sweets. Nostly crowded during brkfst hours. If u r planning a visit better to reach early. The shop ipens @ 8 am.
Heritage cafe for Bengali light snacks and sweets.
Location is at Shyambazar five-point crossing, just opposite Golbari Kosha Mangsho.
Had excellent Kochuri (with dal stuffing) served with unlimited Cholar Dal with Alu. Minimum 3 pcs Kochuri to be given as initial order, and subsequently single piece can be ordered. Each Kochuri with Dal costs Rs 12.
Sweets were of very good quality, soft and perfectly sweet.
Service was very prompt.
Value for money, and fabulous taste.
Highly recommended!
Located on the busy streets of Shyambazar 5 point crossing, this restaurant is said to be over 200 years old. They serve food in a traditional bengali way. You will get your food served on a Banana leaf. People mostly visit this place for breakfast. The most famous are Kachori, Chana dal and sweets. We went there for breakfast and ordered the same. In sweets we tried 'Kalo Jaam' or 'Kala Jamun'. If you want to explore traditional restaurants of Kolkata and try street foods, you can come here.
