Review Sethi Hotel Restaurant - Kolkata (Calcutta)

Pocket friendly hotel for rice platter as well as north indian cuisine। We used to take lunch here for office। Place is good।

Full marks to the food taste ! If you are new to Kolkata and do not prefer the local Bengali food, this is the place to visit for daily meals. I literally survived on Dal Tadka/Chole and Roti from this hotel during my several months stay in this area. It was over a decade back, and the taste is still the same in 2020. I would recommend take aways if you wish to eat in a better ambience. Quantity is good enough. The rates are also very reasonable and well, I can go on and on about the lip-smacking taste.

Though the place isn't too family-friendly it's okayish. The food is very very good for the price you pay. The staff is quite adjusting. Good to go if you're looking for quick food with less budget. We paid ₹650 for 5 people.

Its a proper dhaba style hotel...prices are very fair .quantity is good .taste is superb .tried dal tadka and rumali roti...both are best

Nice quality of food... Shop is not well decorated.... But the food is good both Portion wise and quality wise . I just loved the special tadka.

Sethi hotel is a Punjabi & Chinese restaurant situated on Hazra road near Hazra Crossing opposite of Khirod Ghosh Market. Good quality food available here at affordable prices. It's good for a quick bite not quite okay for date. If someone is looking for a good lunch then he/she can visit here. Lunch items as well as rumali roti, butter nan, tarka, fried rice, chili chicken, chana masala and other various food items available here without any extra cost also behaviour of staffs are very sober.

Good food

Very good quality of food and if need late night dinner then it's perfect place for dinner with minimum cost and delicious kind of food.....But don't expect it as a 5 or 3 star quality..It's basically road side dhaba andb truck drivers are niche for them....

Good food ,specially tarka was amazing .....even chicken egg roll was delicious ( wife liked it she wanted me to add this ) keep it up

I'm not new to this restaurant . I like the food there , the North Indian style . I'm going there for at least 25 years . Nice food and service .

Its a good dhaba,here also availble good quality food in cheapest price.

Old joint for roti tarka. Open till late night. Decent Punjabi food

Low price not bad quality

In Kolkata at least have not come across such excellent veg tadka my open challenge.rest ur choice..

Nice place for thali

This joint is near hazra four more crossing..the place is small and you find somewhat shaggy type...don't think off having food by sitting here cause it's best to take delivery from this place..the food was very affordable and decent and the one you should try are tadka,dal fry,mughlai, chicken chap....

Worst place for eating...never do an order to this hotel<br/>And its counter staff's behaviour like president of USA.. too rude. Worst or most worst hotel. total waste of money....

I was there few days ago so I tried tandoori chicken and chicken tikka food was very good so the main thing chicken was perfectly. U enjoyed my meal over there.

This place is located at kalighat, 1 minute walk from kalighat fire station towards Hazra.<br/>.<br/>It is one of the pocket friendly food joints of this area.<br/><br/>Their lassi tastes really good, and tadka is a must have.<br/>.<br/>Follow LET'S HAVE FOOD for more such reviews.

The place was awesome and food was wells served with a good quantity .... The flavours were good.The Prices there are also at a reasonable rate so i would reccomend everyone to go there.<br/>

On 3rd October 2018 I have visited this outlet Sethi Hotel, Kalighat for the 500th time. And I ordered 1 Plate Veg Chowmein for Rs. 40/- and 1 Plate Veg Gravy Manchurian for Rs. 60/- the food was delicious and the staff's were friendly as well the service was quick and decorations were okay. This place is located opposite to Tandoori Darbar, Hazra. Thank you Sethi Hotel for making my day extremely astonishing.

This place is a gem! I’ve ordered from this place a lot of times and I never have been disappointed. Their food is absolutely delicious, be it Indian or Chinese. The quantity they serve is excellent. It’s pocket friendly too.

This is very good hotel for common people and students. This is at hazra more near 4 point crossing. Quality of food is ok. It is very pocket friendly. It is best for group of college students and frnds.

nLovely food.

amazing cusines

very good

The food is awesome you should try as it's very reasonable and pocket friendly plus point open till late at 1 clock in the night need to renovate the hotel

The place is really good for a quick bite with your friends. They used to have a AC room inside but it also closes down a few years back. So you might find it problematic on a Sunny day. You can really try a lot of dishes at a very pockey friendly rate.

Sasta and tikao. Don't even think of dining here as this place is too shabby but it is clean and you might find yourself surrounded by some drunkards. But as far as pack / home delivery is concerned it is good and inexpensive. I liked their tandoori roti, tarka, dal fry and moghlai paratha.

A food joint located at Hazra, mainly serves North Indian & Chinese food at a cheap price.<br/><br/>Ambience is shabby with sitting arrangements.<br/><br/>Service is good.<br/><br/>Ordered Rumali roti & Chicken Bharta, food was tasty with sufficient quantity.<br/>

হাজরার তন্দুরি দারবার এর ঠিক বিপরীতে । কম দামে বসে খেয়ে পেট ভরানোর জন্য আদর্শ স্থান । তারকা রুটি খেয়েছিলাম স্বাদে বা মানে আহামরি নয় তবে দাম এর দিক দিয়ে দেখতে গেলে মন্দ নয় । কাজ চালানোর জন্য আসা যেতেই পারে ।

Have been here lots of times....this place is cheap and affordable bt its better for takeaway as i dont recommend anyone to dine in....its actually a Cheap and reliable Dhaba....roti and tarka is good...chinese is not so good...renovation is required!!!

Not at all recommended as health is concerned. My dear friends they use good amount of dalda for cooking foods which is too dangerous. And af<br/>Pper 7pm<br/>Lots of drunken crowd visits the place .Please don't spoil your <br/>evening by visiting the place <br/>

I've grown up having tarka-roti from this hotel..its just opposite tandoori darbar of hazra.... cheap and Decent... thats all i can say.....

A popular eatery located at Hazra Road, this place mostly serves Punjabi style food. Do not go by the ambiance here, because people mostly drops by here for the flavorful and tasty food. The Bharta here was simply mindblowing. The pricing too is quite cheap and won't hurt your pocket.

Located in proper Hazra area. Heard from many people that this joint is famous for its  Tarka. But yesterday I tried Chicken Bharta and Rumali Roti. Trust me guyz its just mindblowing and amazing. Quanity is sufficient and price is also dirt cheap.Will again visit this restaurant.

Although the ambience is untidy, but I must keep visiting this place for the heavenly egg tarka! The prices are reasonable and cheap. And also to mention, the behaviour of the staff is quite polite.

Typical Punjabi food is good, much like any road side dhaba, but Bengali food???? A typical bong would say khoma kro....n man, is it dirty.......staff r cool bdw...good fr eating when u don't hv much options left....overall, ur average Joe's eating place...

The restaurant positioned on Hazra road is one of those old gems. Its famous for its punjabi food, but dont let the other items be fooled.<br/><br/>Ambiance - Horrible (Wish Ramsey would come down some time and make an episode on hotel hell here)<br/>Food - Extremely delightful <br/>Price - Very convenient (On the lower side)<br/>Attitude - Very humble people <br/><br/>Also, the chicken rolls here are mouth watering. Clearly the chicken in fresh and not frozen. A complete value for money!

must try chiken bharta,mutton kassa,egg/plain tarka.dead cheap.grew up having sethi foods.fresh items.no yesterday stuff like big resturants.its a very simple place where you can find all kind of classes.chiken bharta is 5 star.

During late night eats, I went to sethi hotel at Hazara Road. Ambience was not Good . Very prompt and courteous service. Most important, it is food for which I with my visited to this Hotel. Food was excellent. I ordered chicken butter masala (medium size) for myself and in main course I ordered chicken tarka. Chicken butter masala was very delicious.

I have given the rating of 4.5 only for the excellent food at Sethi Hotel !! Even though the ambience is not so good to have a peaceful lunch or dinner, the taste is awesome.. I would suggest you to take away parcels.. <br/>Roti, tadka and chole are THE BEST around that area.. total punjabi style!! Very affordable and cheap for students who pass by and unmarried people living around this prime busy area.. Ever since I left Kolkata, I have never tasted anything so good yet so cheap anywhere!!! Waiting to come back soon..

Sethi hotel is to Hazra what the Bachan dhaba is to Rashbehari.<br/><br/>Several decades old,alas the Sethi hotel proprietors did not visualise a Zomato someday,and even if they did,rally did not care.<br/><br/>This is no fine dining place,nor even a dhaba.This is an eatery just between your roadside machh/bhat ( fish/rice ) places popular amongst kali peeli cab drivers and the more decent pice hotels so typical of Calcutta.<br/><br/>My staple is the alu mutter and chicken curry.Not kosha as that has a lot of reused oil.Also at rs. 480/- a kg it's unwise to order mutton dishes here or in a dhaba as well as at their prices the arithmetic simply does not match up.<br/><br/>Hygiene is an issue now as I saw today and won't be surprised if this place metamorphoses into a KFC or Subway soon considering the prime location.<br/><br/>Sad!

This is a place I have visited since my childhood. May not be very decorated one but the quality of food is not bad. We often order rumali roti, egg tadka and chana masala, and the items are well prepared. The rates are very reasonable.

Normal dinner or lunch for people living in PG, hostel or just passing by. Serves tandoori, Indian chicken dishes with roti. Also serves snacks like fish fry, fish finger, Mughlai paratha. This is for eating meals regularly for those who doesn't cook at home.

This place is nearest from Hazra crossing. A chaotic unhygienic  place with poor service. The Chinese dishes are not up to the mark. Only the rice thali is comparatively good than the other items.

Was here during puja 2013 for the first time with my cousins. I have been here 2-3 times. GOOD FOOD AT CHEAP PRICE. Thats how i can explain this hotel. Though the decor can be a bit better. But I like the food here.

Location: A few meters from Hazra Crossing (towards Kalighat Fire Station)<br/><br/>Sethi Hotel has been here for years now serving the people of Kolkata with dhaba-style North Indian fare. Having read rave reviews about its quality, dropped by to check out. But, sorry to say, the scenario wasn't as great as depicted.<br/><br/>The AMBIANCE is vapid with an inclination towards the shabby and shady end.<br/>Non-air conditioned seating, dirty fans, dull walls, smelly environment. A sad state altogether.<br/>About the FOOD, had opted for the North Indian Fare out of the two available (Chinese & North Indian). The following was ordered:<br/><br/>- Dal Tadka<br/>Black lentils simmered overnight and well-seasoned. The Dhaba-style preparation was quite nice and one of the nearly good ones under the Dhaba-style category. Recommended.<br/><br/>- Rumali Roti<br/>Was a disappointment as it felt rubbery in nature. Have had much better ones.<br/><br/>- Tandoori Roti<br/>The irregular shaped  (after being here for years; weird) roti was decent to have but, lacked the crispness as asked for. Disappointed.<br/><br/>- Butter Naan<br/>Almost nicely baked naan served with a generous brush of butter. Was just about average in taste, could have been much better had it been perfectly tandoor-baked.<br/><br/>• Complimentary green chillies, a lemon wedge & diced onions were served along with the order.<br/><br/>The friendly STAFF were lackadaisical which affected the service speed (was towards the moderate).<br/>PRICES were pocket friendly, but, somewhat a pinch was felt thanks to the quality.<br/><br/>Overall a bad experience.<br/>- Needs urgent hygiene uplift and a serious quality check. If not worked upon soon, customers wouldn't mind traveling to another Dhaba-style joint barely 50 meters from here.

Dis s such a place where u find good quality Punjabi cuisine as well as Chinese cuisine and both d quality r gud...and I think they serves better food than tandoori darbar

This is one of the places where you just can't expect or ask for a fine ambiance or shiny cutlery. It is a non-airconditioned, slightly chaotic dhaba located at almost opposite of restaurant Tandoori Darbar, which serves inexpensive yet tasty food. The service is reasonably quick though a little more cleanliness would be appreciated.

Awesome is the word for this place in terms of the food quality ...u can't expect anything better than this for the reasonably priced dishes.... Thank u ..<br/>

The sethi hotel is situated on main road of hazra.the hotel is moderate.the seating arrangment n foods are also moderate.quantity is good.taste is nice but have to clean the seat properly.all over the hotel is one time visit place.

Sethi and Novelty are twin Dhabas at the Hazra Road junction. at a time when the Old Punjabi Dhaba tradition is fast fading with old Dhabas upgrading themselves and opening franchisee chains - Sethi and Novelty still keeps the old joys of sinful slumming going. Both have suitably crummy ambience (Novelty a bit more - Sethi now also boasts of an AC Section) but the food - always freshly prepared. The saag meat is my favourite along with the Mutton Kassa (Kosha). Supplement it with an Anda (Egg) Dal Tadka if you have company or feeling ravenously hungry.

Had the pleasurable experience of eating here on quite a few occassions it has never bwen a let down..there daal tark and paranthas along with chicken masalla is worth eating the service is efficient and it is easy on the pocket

Zomato is indeed becoming a food guide for me.I am surprised to find this one in the list.This being close to my office is an easy access in case I am not carrying my home food.I specially love their jeera rice and alu matar.the service is also!!

This place is excellent for takeaways and it often stays open even after its scheduled time at night.The food here is superb and at extremely cheap prices.The SPECIAL EGG TADKA deserves extra special mention.It is soo delicious and yummy, its easily the best made Tadka in town and that too at such price.Have it with their Tandoori roti and bite into a juicy piece of onion for an out of this world gastronomic experience experience.The other items that I have tried here are - Chicken Bharta,Dahi Tadka,Chicken Butter Masala,Paneer Butter Masala and Veg.Tadka Double Fry and excepting the Chicken Butter Masala , all of them were really good!!Vegetarians can go for their Dahi Tadka or Double fry Tadka too or any other vegetarian fare all of which are mouth watering.<br/>However this place is mostly frequented by college students(mostly boys) ,office workers and cab drivers but is that not how an actual Dhaba should be ..and I did say takeaway is the best option.But the food is really good and it seems to be prepared and served with so much care,the place is clean.And the people who serve are always very attentive and friendly.Sometimes I don't mind sitting at the table and having my favourite food here,just for a change.

Did not expect that I will find Sethi listed on Zomato ! I have been having food from here since my childhood as it is situated at walking distance from my place<br/>It is a very basic eatery mainly serving Indian cuisine. Situated near the Hazra Junction, the ambiance is very very shabby with basic seating and few tables which can accommodate 20-25 people. <br/>It is mainly a take away joint and serves food at dirt cheap prices. The tandori roti is one of my favourites out here. Chicken Bharta, chicken reshmi butter masala and Spl egg tadka is worth mentioning. At least totally worth the price. <br/><br/>Serving time is very quick. Cost for two is Rs 250. <br/>I usually do a take away when mom is not cooking at home :P.

Dal Tadka is my favourite here.
