This is a very famous and old place to hangout with friends and have some decent foods..they are famous for their famous tea..we had tea,roti,dal makhani,dal tadka..the food was decent but I liked the dal tadka which was yummy..a good affordable place for Hangouts and small chitchats 😄
Here you will get Chinese dishes fast food and regular dishes at a cheaper price. This place is well known for its own tea, Lassi and dal tarka.One can sit here with his/her friend to spent the boring evening with a cup of tea or a lassi.Quality and Quantity is good enough.
Tasty and spicy stuffed capsicum just the way I like it. Cannot get any cheaper than this. Two stuffed bell peppers at this price is unimaginably good. Would love to order again.
Going to this place since I was a kid. I have always had a fixed menu butter roti, tarka and aloo do pyaza. The taste remains the same also the food is served hot. Visit here for a pocket friendly meal.
Love this small eatery. If you get bored of jai hind or sharma dhaba you can try this out
My favorite is the simple dal tarka with roti
Splendid and a very unique and different taste
Very nice food although ambience and service not too good. But the location is very convenient and food is very nice and cheap. I have been been there many times. One of the best tadka dal served here
punctuality maintained. delivered on time. staff having good approach
Have been there quite a few times with our vegetarian friends and almost liked all the foods which had been ordered by them
Quite a decent place to have some good veg food
Been to this place way before with my Gujju friends and quite liked all the foods which had been ordered by my friends
Quite a decent place to have some food and some chit chat with friends
First of all its pure veg. And i am jain so i loved visiting ajanta hotel its good for people to hangout there at evening. The crowd is very huge at evening. The tea served at ajanta hotel is very good better then many other stalls in bhawanipur. So must visit and share your views❣️❣️
Lovely tea and also there is place where u hangout in open air and enjoy the tea and food. The quality of food is Owsm. They serve tea from 4am to 12Am
And reallying enjoy having tea and food over there.
superb food and mind blowing service
Every thing was good .But there was plain curd instead of raita.
Food is good. We are always confused which is pindi chana. They may write beside name brief description like dry, type of masala and gravy etc for easier understanding. Potion is decent.

Ajanta's Chinese food is tasty.
Its very old joint to be at. The food is nice and delicious whether take away or eaten there. Its just at times the hotel staff is a lil annoying. I would recommend North Indian and other Dishes but dont go for Pizza.
I have ordered from this restaurant several times and the food never disappoints. The food compares to Jai Hind food and the portions are also good. it's pocket friendly as well so this place is a win win situation for all. recommended for everyone. the only downside is the pure vegetarian menu.
Simply one of the most simple but amazing places to go to in Bhawanipur. The place is a typical Punjabi Dhaba and the cuisine does amazing justice to that. We ordered paneer tikka masala, special Dal tadka, Dal makhani along with rooti. The special Dal tadka will steal the show and keep you craving for moreee... Must have and must visit !
This is small joint located in middle of Bhawanipore and has decent menu with low pocket pinch and tried paneer butter masala here and tandoori roti and dal and jeera rice. Service is quick here. Everything was average. One Time try this place. :)
one of the most popular place for tea in Bhawanipura
must try once
but food is not so good..
it open till midnight
..............................................
The ajanta hotel best for pg resident and neaby people it never close it open whole day and night and i like here specially tea with kachori chaat one of the tastiest snacks and here you will enjoy with your frnd with tea and snacks their are so many chair beside tree to sat and enjoy the food
Tiny place with small area but one is guaranteed a gastronomic pleasure here. Special butter tadka is a must with masala onions. You wouldn't get this anywhere better than here.
Ajanta Dhaba has been a part of my life since my childhood and I have seen it grow from a humble dhaba to a restaurant which is still popular after more than 25+ years of its existence. Their tadka is to die for and has been their trademark item since long. They have started serving several other items out of which I did like their noodles and pav bhaji. A great place to have vegetarian food at budget friendly rates.
No alternative to AjantaDhaba
Best for youngsters and PG residents.
Specially Famous for its Special Butter Tadka,Ajanta Dhaba is a tax free,they also provide home delivery with in the range.
Good food and pure veg dhaba... Ajanta is a landmark today in bhowanipore as it is the only Punjabi dhaba that is pure veg. The food is great and lives up to the dhaba style. Service could be better but is great for a dhaba . AC on the first floor only and seating is comfortable and cozy. Must try the Shahi paneer , even though you won't find it on the menu order it and it will be served. It's thick juicy soft pieces of paneer in a tomato based creamy gravy.
Located amidst the lanes of Chakraberia bhawanipur, this vegetarian food joint is one of the best places for college students like us!
They serve the best tea(P.S : if you are a smoker, team it up with a smoke and you'll be highly satisfied)
They also make some lip-smaking snacks like samosa which goes well along with a cup of tea.
Coming to food, I haven't yet tried the Chinese dishes but the North Indian cuisines are pretty tasty. Also, the prices are pretty much affordable.
A vegetarian punjabi dhaba, located in a prime area between Paddapukur and Jaggubazar. Known for its quality north indian food. Special Butter Tarka, Kashmiri Aloo Dum and Veg Mongolian are the best of the vegetables and curries in the menu. Quick service and good staff. Quantity enough for 2 people.

Well, this place deserve a mention from me as there are loads and loads of memories and its one of my regular visiting place. This is one of those places where I love going because of few reasons:
#The adda ambience is just too good: You will see groups of every age sitting there with a cup of tea and having a lovely adda session
#The tea here is just lovely: Well, if you are here what you should do is order a tea for yourself and enjoy it. I love their tea.
#Memories: Well, I love this place because its too good a place to bring my moments back.
Location:
Chakraberia- Paddapukur crossing and you will get this place. And if you are confused and don't know much about this place the Zomato map is there to help you out.
Service:
Fast. The behaviour is good from the staffs.
Food:
You can go for few of their lovely dishes. It is a vegetarian place which I mostly avoid, but its good enough to attract me again and again.
They make some good snacks like Samosas. The tadka here is just too good. Avoid the chowmein to be honest. The paneer recipes are worth trying.
Quality and Quantity , Pricing:
Quality is good.
Quantity is lil less.
Pricing is reasonable without tax.
Last word:
A really good place where you would get so many things in a very reasonable price.
3.5/5 for this place
I visit this place on astami to eat veg...this restaurant serves good mouth wateries in their unique serving bowls if u sit on top in ac......
Ambience: 2.5
Service: 3
Taste: 4
Value for money: 4.5
This place is not for the sophisticated and high end public. The food is proper Dhaba food. Dal tarka, sabzis, rotis are all fresh and taste good. If you are not too touchy abt ambience and gentry, its a good place to try Dhaba Food. And yes, it is pure vegetarian.
Although the place is small and shabby but the food is really good. The dal makhani is the highlight of this joint. The service is good but the ambience is below average. But considering the prices the joint is worth it.
Now i discovered this dhaba accidentally while roaming around there for decent food. I tried there veg chow n was pretty impressed so nxt i visited again n tried there north indian menu n it was truly dhaba style food which i loved.
Its pocket friendly n gr8 fr students especially pg ppl.
This place never seems to disappoint us in terms of providing delicions north indian food. However being a dhaba there does arise a question of hygienic ambience which the hotel should work upon. Nobody likes to see a cockroach even in the farthest corner while eating butter nan and dal tadka. 😝😝
✔Delicious food. Go for north Indian even Chinese is good.
🚫The hotel needs to work upon Cleanliness
Late night food.. wanna it thn go to ths place hv food.. hv tea.. hav adda.. have fun @ midnight tarka fry must try.....
This place is amazing if you consider value for money. It's a strict vegetarian place though. It's good clean food, ordered and are here enough times and never has been any issue with the food. Consistent taste and always a great quantity for the price. Make sure u try their chai in the clay cup.👍
Must say very light food.. and best is its pure vegetarian being a dhaba... really like d food here... centrally located and home delivery done ...
Yet another affordable but delicious joint. A vegetarian's delight. Once entering you are bound to notice the larger than life tandoori at the corner. A meal over here is sure to leave a smile on your face and dont forget to finish it with a "baand" of tea.
Ajanta Dhaba is Bhawanipur's favourite family dhaba! Being pure vegetarian is the best part that attracts people more to it.. Though the home delivery is slow but it is worth waiting cos the food is just sooo delicious.. Veg rolls stuffed with chowmin was a mouth-watering taste.. Even the price rates are kept low which makes it perfect for a hangout with friends :)
Well a simple n good place .. The food is tasty n yummylicuos .. The price is affordable as its not costly at all .. reasonable price for everything .. I have visited this place many times its uncountable .. If u r damn hungry n wana eat somethin delicious thn just get into this hotel (punjabi dhabaa ) u gona really enjy ????
The place is just a simple old school bhawanipur eatery........but the food really makes it what it really is......... "Simply Fantastic"......…

Location: Near the Four-Way roundabout of Paddapukkur-Chakraberia Road.
This age old hotel can be reached either by traveling across the lane adjacent to Netaji Bhawan Metro Station (through Jadubabur Bazaar/Jaggu Bazar) or by traveling straight for a few minutes in the lane opposite to Forum Mall.
This hotel has been here for years and has been serving its customers with great food throughout.
The AMBIANCE here is nothing but, a chair-table arrangement. It is a Ground+Mezzanine type hotel wherein the mezzanine is an air-conditioned dining area. The stairs to the mezzanine are quite steep and is also a testament to the age of the ‘purely vegetarian’ hotel.
The hotel needs a makeover though, bole toh renovation, a bit not much!
About the FOOD, I visited this place over lunch (a bit late though, thanks to work which also made me super hungry) and ordered the following:
- Special Butter Tarka
Black lentils cooked overnight and tempered with tomato and butter, bole toh makhan wala tadka. Delicious!
Recommended.
- Tandoori Butter Roti
Crisp Tandooris brushed with generous butter.
- Garlic Naan
The Naan here got a reaction from me, that was, “O teri, Yeh toh stuffed hai re!”. Yes, here, the garlic isn't on top of the bread, instead is stuffed inside the Naan. A twist, yet no compromise on the taste.
Recommended.
- Papad
Perfectly baked. Needs no description though.
- Onion Salad
Needs no description. Does it? Yes, was fresh. :)
The SERVICE was prompt and the well-informed STAFF was polite and friendly.
The COSTS wouldn't burn a hole in the pocket.
Overall a good place to drop in! :)
- Yet to try the remaining fare, comments due.
good food cheese nan vegitable magnolian is very tasty poket friendly
Pure veg dhaba..it has no fancy decor. Just amazing roti and dal makhani pulao papad also aloo do pyaza.
Very pocket friendly

Ajanta hotel is a dhaba situated in paddapukur,near the crossing(close to the petrol pump).I am particularly fond of their paneer pasinda and kashmiiri aloo dum.There's is an all vegetarian affair and my father has many a times got food home from this place. The food has always been good,though sometimes inconsistent.Their special noodle roll and lassi are worth mentioning and so is the dal makhni with buttered nan. Cheers to good food :)
The rolls and the chinese are to die for. The place near my Tuitions where I've spent most of my time with my friends.!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Long Long Long Pending Review!
This is a Pure Vegetarian Dhaba! A No Frils place the serves up some of the most amazing dhaba food I have ever had....!
You could easily miss this place as it is tucked away in a lane in bhawanipur, and looks extremely shabby from outside!
My experience with this place started 15 years ago.... you read it right 15 years ago .... just out of college had started with a job ... and this was a good place for a rendezvous.... especially when you have told at home that you are still at office but you are actually out for a dinner ;) .... the reason I say the place is ideal is because you are sure to never get caught ..... ;)
Well but the food definitely is some of the best dhaba food ... post moving to Bangalore, whenever I am at Calcutta I do pack food from here for atleast one meal.... I would recoomend you order for car service because the ambience is pretty poor and you wouldn't really like even the A/C part of the restaurant...
Here is what I ordered when I was at Calcutta and this is the lis tof things he never messes up on:
1. Masala Kulcha really soft and the right amount of fluffy.... and butter Naan (gets rubbery If you are going to take Away)
2. Paneer Butter Masala / PAneer Pasinda and Paneer Badsha
3. Dal Makhani
4 Stuffed Capsicum
Oh yes he also has a paneer Tardka Fry which is Dal with Paneer - this is also finger licking good!
Well on food 20 / 10
on ambience 1 / 10
Service 9 /10
Value for money 10/10
overall 9 / 10
I cant think of an alternative to this place in Calcutta - yes you have the bigger dhabas the azad hinds and gurudwara etc .. but this guy is truly amazing in terms of taste and service.... Also the food is not too oily like the other dhabas I wouldn't call it health food but much lesser on impact as compared to others...
Do remember his lassi and also there is not a list of Rolls available looked good but never tried...
I would keep visiting here whenever at Calcutta!
Good place to hangout with friends.The pararthas are a must try there. Food is above average.They don't maintain hygiene.
They don't provide a good seating area too. It is pocket friendly though.

Intro + Location : To the people who named it at Sarat Bose road it is not in Sarat Bose road it is in Bhawanipur near the soda pub. ( like 5 mins walking).
They serve pure veg food and is a very old hotel and provides food basically for the people living in PGs nearby.
I had tried chowmien roll(speciality) , sizzling hot dal makhani, paneer butter masala with naan and roti. =====
Pros:-
1) food is hygienic
2) quality of food is decent not too oily
3) ambience is well...ok.
4) service is quick
5) decently priced
Cons:-
1) ambience can be improved and renovation required
2) can provide a better and a quicker service.
:) chowmien roll is a must try
=====
17th june 2014 - went here with couple of my friends. Ordered Dal, Aloo do pyaza, and even Chilly paneer with Butter Roti and tandoori Roti. All were superb. We went near 1 am. One of the oldest dhabas and pure VEG!
=====
2016 - On my visit recently, i had chowmien roll and thali. The chowmien roll was consistently the same. The thali was filling and satiating. Must try.
My family’s personal favorite hotel of Kolkata same old taste but needs to maintain hygiene too..😋
Excellent food and amicable service. Veg food never tasted so simple and good .
Very good quality food and service
Nice place for hanging out with friends. This is a dhaba that serves only veg food and great chai.. The paneer kebab deserves special mention.. Do visit this place if your around Bhowanipur and craving for some evening snacks.. Cheers..
This place is close to my heart, and always will be. One of the most delicious north indian food in kollata can be found here! Come here for north indian dishes that won't burn a hole in your pocket!
Ajanta Dhaba has been a part of my life since my childhood and I have seen it grow from a humble dhaba to a restaurant which is still popular after more than 25+ years of its existence.
Their tadka is yummy and has been their trademark item since long. They have started serving several other items out of which I did like their noodles and pav bhaji. A great place to have vegetarian food at budget friendly rates.
Not very hygiene conscious, if u see the kitchen..
Overall a good option for a vegetarian indian punjabi meal.
5 min walking from Netaji Bhawan Metro station gate no.4. Nice food. Basically Punjabi cuisine. Lassi is a must try.
Hidden gem for pure veg..specialy punjabi items
First time visited the place to satisfy the cravings for paneer roll. Bought paneer roll, veg roll and spring roll. Out of the 3 , paneer roll is worth trying 2nd time. The rest were just ordinary. Good thing is u can get only vegetarian rolls here. No non veg items!
Food here is very tasty must try thier Ajanta Special Roll, Fried Rice, Hakka Noodles
North Indian Thali is an best option to try
Chai is available for chai lovers
Owner is also very kind & gentle
Jain Food Available
Dine in will be not preferable by many they have small place not maintain properly other than that everything is okay 👌🏻
