Review Indian Coffee House - Kolkata (Calcutta)

Sukhant Kumar

Nostalgic Charm and Great Brews ✨ Indian Coffee House in Jadavpur is a hidden gem that exudes a sense of nostalgia. The old-world ambiance, combined with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, creates a cozy haven for conversations and contemplation. The menu offers a delightful range of beverages and snacks, all served with a touch of tradition. A must-visit spot for coffee enthusiasts seeking a taste of history and a cup of excellence.

Rishabh Menon

If you are looking for a hole in the wall, this probably is the oldest one. It is an experience to be in such a historic place where so many thinkers once sat. The crowd is mostly old since youngsters probably prefer shiny new cafes. The food is not ground breaking but it is good and consistent and tastes like nostalgia. We had cold coffee and chicken kobiraji. The cold coffee is a must try along with fish fingers and fish cutlet... It is quite reasonably priced too. The entire meal was around ₹200 and quite enough as an evening snack for 2 people. As you are entering 8B, look towards your right towards the jadavpur market and you'll see if on the first floor a little bit into the lane.

Asha rani Prusty

It's good.. service seems to be like the old historic coffeehouse..but not exactly . It needs to be a little clean and representative. What I didn't like is the smoking part.. it should not be inside the cafe. Otherwise on top of the market and easy to find and reach... So many other options on the same floor..

Pallabi Raha

They have retained their traditions yet.. It's in Jadavpur, 1min walk distance from 8B bus stand.. Nice place, staffs wear their signature dresses, you can feel nostalgic with the atmosphere.. Come to the food. We took- *Hot Coffee *Fish kabiraji (90/-) teast good, fish stuffing also good. *egg sandwich (50/-)(not good in teast, didn't provide any sauce in it.. only boiled egg, black paper, and bread)😔 Staffs behave nicely...

Sumantune

It's a very popular meeting place for youngsters and common people. The food and service is moderately good. Need cleaning and sound absorption panels in walls.

Nilanjana Chatterjee

Indian coffee house branch in Jadavpur is what I like the most. Nice neat and clean with airy atmosphere. No smoking is allowed here. Though one can go outside to the balcony for smoking. Staff behaviour is descent and helpful. I like the food here mostly the cutlet. Coffee is also good here. Best ambience to have an adda and chillout with close buddies.

PARIBRITA GHOSH

Bengali's nostalgia. One of the favorite place of most of the Bengali's. Best place for time pass with your friends family and loved ones. But food quality is not so good but yes if you want to hangout and want some 'chay adda' place then this is the best place ever.

Priyanka Howladar

Actually this is a place of nostalgia for Bengalis, lot of famous persona like - great singer Manna De and many more used to be regular visitor of this place. Situated at heart of college street and college square area. A must visit place for young college going pupils and for book hoppers...feel the north calcutta vive, old building structure with lot of history in it...

Madhumita Mukherjee

The ideal place to spend some leisure time with your friends,family or dear ones.every item that I have tasted so far is really good.. Chicken cutlet surely deserves a special mention. Other items like fish fry, chicken omlette,mutton chowmein all are superb.

Vivek Mukherjee

Age Old Large Cafeteria ,probably the biggest one in the world. There are 2 sections Ground and Balcony ..The items are slight on the higher side in the balcony and Waiters do force u for tips in Balcony.. First time we had Coffee which was good as per my friend..I had Mutton Kabiraji which was not so good according to me .. On the second go we had Chicken Hakka Chowmein which was liked by both of us ..Cost came around Rs.85 + Rs.10 Serving Charge or Tips whatever u can say .. Definite visit when u are in Kolkata...

Niladri Mukherjee

One of best nostalgic place I have ever seen... It's located near jadavpur area... 5 to 10 minutes walking from jadavpur railway station.. Indian coffee House also known as ' adda doyar jaiga ' and I think Indian coffee house all bangali weakness.. expensive restaurants and cafes can beat Indian coffee house environment actually I can't explain by words...

suvroneel nathak

A great place . Although it's name has "Coffee", You can get other items like pakora , fried rice etc. Manna Dey famous Coffee house song is based on it. It's near the Presidency University . The only down thing is that the rates for food is huge and it's filled with smokers.

Uday Dey

Vintage place with the old charm at the heart of Jadavpur. You can feel the culture of this city in these places, which otherwise has been decaying over the last decade.

Sk Naina Parvin

one of the best best cheap 90's style restaurant...

Sayantany Ghosh

Located on the first floor above the Jadavpur 8B market. Not very well decorated. The food taste is not good too. Only the staff behaviour is good.

Niladri Mukherjee

Anita Das

The ever-so-popular Indian Coffee House.The space, all high ceiling and old long fans, used to be a ballroom known as Albert Hall and spectators would watch dances from a balcony. This balcony now is a seating space at the café that is crowded even on a Monday afternoon. Many detest their strong cold coffee but I have always loved it. The colonial hangover still lingers here with a huge no-smoking board that remains largely ignored and bearers dressed in white achkans and pagdis.A heritage place for the youngsters of 90's. It holds a good position for its nostalgia among the Bengalis. We tried their coffee along with Chicken Cutlet,prices are cheap and affordable. Overall rating: Quality : 4.5/5 Taste : 4.5/5 (for coffee 5/5) Ambiance: 4.5 / 5

Sarasij Bhattacharya

Coffee House is specifically about Friends, Adda, Tea/Coffee, Nostalgia. It is located in the heart of Jadavpur 8B. This place is mostly always crowded with college students of Jadavpur University and old retired aged people coming with friends for gossip, been here like a numerous times!! Few food items are particularly good like Chicken Kabiraji, Mutton Afghani, Fish Fry. It is served with onions and kasundi! They also serve Chinese items which taste average. Ambience is very old with tall and large fans hanging in the ceiling. Service is very much on the slower side and this place needs some cleanliness and renovation!

Debarati Talukdar

Very ill mannered staffs, we found hair in our dish, dirty surrounding dirty serving style as well. Above all they will taunt you to leave the place if you take a little time to order your dish which is very embarrassing.

Malabika Dasgupta

Went there on a rainy day. Crowd mostly consists of students and folks waiting for friends. The food quality has degraded since the last time we had been here, nearly 2 decades ago. This time we ordered mutton kabiraji, moghlai paratha, coffee. Ambience is old and nice.

Soumi Basu

It's not a very clean place. The food isn't that great either. The sandwich we ordered was stale. I think they should provide better quality. The place needs renovation and cleanliness desperately.

Riya Chowdhury

I used to visit this place for studying purpose. But food here is awful. Fish fry has no fish, chicken pakora has no chicken, cold coffee was good but nothing special. This is one of those places which we say 'naam a chole'.

Pragati Dutta (Dilkhush)

"Adda ta aaj r nei" is so true now a days. The taste of coffee is reducing day by day. Service is not good at all. They ask for tips all the time

Triparna Dutta

It is located in Jadavpur 8B. Here you can get food at cheapest rate. Coffee House is specially about Friends, Coffee, Adda & Nostalgia. I really love this place for their cold coffee and Fish Kabiraji. These are must try. The place is always crowded and people have to wait for getting a seat. The place is a hot cake for the students as it is close to Jadavpur University. Other aged people also came over there to spend their time. To be honest this is not at all a place where hygiene is mainted and the behaviour of the stuffs are very rude. If you want beverage and snacks in cheapest rate you can once visit this place. Their College street outlet is better than it.

Ankhi Das

Located jadavpur 8B bus stand, food at cheaper rate is available here, we have ordered chicken kabiraji, and cold coffee , food was very testy , nice place to hang out with friends

Ayon Talukdar

When I entered Indian Coffee House Jadavpur it gave me a nostalgic feeling. It’s close to the Jadavpur University as well, so students as well as other aged people came over to spend some off time here, with friends, family and sometimes alone. The place is sometimes crowded and people have to wait for getting a seat. Large groups of people are seen all here discussing various topics. I found our old Kolkata, the culture, the ADDA. http://tintinboxdotcom/indian-coffee-house-jadavpur/

Rudrajit Bhattacharjee

Great place to spend some time with your friends. The food quality is good and I love the place ☺️ My favourite dishes are in frame. I love visiting the place. Would love to visit again. But as its remains quite crowded it's hard to get a place in the evening.

Mary Mondal

I'm so much disappointed with their service and food ... we ordered chicken afgani, fish kabiraji and cold coffee. . I didn't like the food at all ..

Sriyanka Mukherjee

I rate this cafe with 5stars not only because of the food but the ambience it creates is really a feel good factor that gives you a Calcuttan touch. Newspapers.. wooden tables and chairs.. beyara.. cup plates.. very nice :)

BongTummy

Good food. Good ambience. We tried, 1. Chicken chowmin 2. Cream coffee 3. Garlic chicken 4. Onion pakora. #bongtummy #coffehouse #onionpakora #garlicchicken

Devarshi Kar

4 stars just for the history and ambience of the place. Absolutely love the age old uniforms of the staff. But highly overpriced. But again, one of the oldest places to chill in Kolkata. So really not gonna complain much!

The Foodgrabber

Located in Jadavpur 8b. You can get food at cheap rates. But quality Wise it's not that good. In frame Fish fry 3.5/5 Mutton cutlet 3/5 Fish kabiraji 3.5/5

Rituparna Acharya

Food at cheaper rate is available here. Me and my frends had a reunion here. We have ordered cjicken kabiraji. The food was taste. Nice place to hang out with frends.

Krishnendu Mukherjee

Rude behavior persons around, no decorum, no respects, and harsh attitudes by waiters. They don't let to rest a bit after eating. NOTORIOUS EXPERIENCE

Manali Basu(the_foodaholic_bong_)

Visited this place yesterday with my parents on my way back from office. The place and the crowd here give the feeling of nostalgia associated with it . Coming to the food, we tried 🔹️ Moglai and 🔹️ Mutton Kabiraji and 🔹️ Coffee 🔸️The moglai was light and tatsed good. It was served with potato curry. Recommended. 🔸️ The mutton kabiraji tasted good but was a little bit more oily. The total pocket pinch was Rs 445/-. It is a great place to hang out with friends and perfect for having addas.

Richasree_food Lover

Location: Jadavpur 8b The ambience is okayish, always very crowded. Indeed a place of heritage bt the food quality was not up to the mark. It is one of the busiest and crowded place where people come to have a good chitchat along with some beverages like coffee. (3.5/5)

Sutopa Das

A real horrible experience .i had been visited there in last week. The place was fully crowded as usual. We ordered cold coffee.. It was pathetic.. Taste was disgusting. Utensils not cleaned properly. And water oh God!! They served tap water,couldn't drink that bcoz a amount of salt in it. A very worst place I've ever visited... We were very disappointed .😣😣😑

Debanjali Rarhi

Located at Jadavpur 8B this place serves as a Adda point for friends.It gives a nostalgic feeling everytime I visit this place.The Fish Fry offered here is okayish but the Coffee is not at all good.The place is quite cheap and okayish.

Asmita Paul

I keep coming back to this place for it's cheap and tasty food. The chicken kobiraji and moglai paratha are my pet peeves. However, the lack of hygiene and noisy environment makes it an uncomfortable place to be. If you are ambience agnostic, this place is definitely for you to savour.

Ari Devillierz

Its an old cafe of the city of joy .. you will find lot of old ppl sitting here and gossiping.. the service pretty slow.. could not get chicken afghani.. so tried the kabiraji which was not that good .. i recomend the clg street branch which is slightly better at the food department.

Deepsmita Mondal - The Bong Gourmet

This place provides with a nostalgic feeling as soon as people enters it. It's close to the Jadavpur University as well, so students as well as other aged people come over to have some gala time here, with friends, family and sometimes alone. The place is sometimes crowded and people have to wait for gathering a seat. Large groups of merry people are seen all over. The service is quick. We ordered: 1.Onion pakora with sauce 2. Cold coffee 3. Infusion The taste of food is okayish. I don't like the food here. And the prices are a bit too high according to me. Anyways, apart from that it's a nice place to be in.

Rituparna Roy

Just beside my university and in today’s world the cheapest place to have coffee and good food,where you can get a roof😊. I am fan of the chicken soup they serve there and definitely recommend it to try.

Soumita Ghosh

No doubt a heritage place. But i didn't like the food. The cold coffee i had tasted more like bournvita in sugar syrup. The interiors r so-so, considering the fact that this is an old place full of heritage, but atleast a little bit of regular maintainance is expected.

Arijit Roy

Old nostalgic but the place should be properly restored keeping its authenticity. Food like starter is ok in taste. I ordered fish kabiraji it was well cooked.

Nãpärajît Goswämî

Infusion..... Just this made me visit this place years after years. Just the smell of the Coffee. They never changed, the decor, ambience, uniforms nothing.

Sujata Chatterjee

been there last week with two of my friends.. it was crowded as usual. at 7 pm they had no food bt only coffee. have ordered 3 cups in which 1 cup was cracked n was leaking coffee.. called the waiter for changing the cup, which he denied. the taste of the coffee was pathetic. if u want a place to sit and have conversations then u will find this place okay.

Rahul Agarwal

It's almost my second home. I love to be there and I spend my every weekend over there. 👍infusion 👍dry chilly chicken 👍hot garlic chicken 👍bread toast. These are my favourite items which I order everytime. "👏👏

Meruka Mondal

Been here several times. The interior gives an authentic feel of Bangaleeana but the food is pathetic. Who serves fried rice with mutton? That to half cooked? I like the Tea. The water that's served is salty. I don't know why. Service should be improved. And of course the food.

Shalini Chaudhuri

The coffee house is an ultimate place to find all kind of personalities together. This place is good for hangout with friends and colleagues. The food is also okay and the price is cheap earlier, but now the price been increased. But this place is always a part of visit by every bong. Hence try it out to satisfy yourself with snacks and coffees.

Debapriya Paul

Just like the authentic Coffee House at College Street, this one too is associated to a lot of nostalgia for us. Located beside Blue Lagoon restaurant, this place is almost overcrowded all the time. We used to visit this place quite regularly. The staircase was our place of smoking and chatting. To be honest, it's not at all a place where hygiene is maintained. But we somehow could connect to this place. Onion pakoda, fish fry, and infusion were common in our order list. Do try out their mutton kaviraji if available. Cheers to food. Cheers to life.

Anindya Sarkar

The bongs love adda. This place is for mediocre bengalee adda . A branch of the main Indian Coffee House (in colleage street). Don’t expect any frill at all. Gulp the tea or coffee and keep on ur adda :) .And make sure to take your bio break somewhere else.We just had coffee and mutton cutlet. Were sub average. But for students and people on budget this is an okay place . Again not all can afford a CCD or the boutique places... thats the reason to give this place a 2.5

Meghna Guha

A real horrible experience. Really dont understand why do people still go to this place. 1. Service is PATHETIC. Got a glass of water after asking for 3-4 times. Couldn't drink that because of the amount of salt in it. Had to bring a packaged water from outside. 2. Coffee was disgusting. 3. Ordered Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Omlette and Chicken cutlet. Of which only the Cutlet was edible. Aweful Experience.

Subarna Mitra

I am going here from my school days.. but yes hygine is very much missing in this place.. and moreover the space is too small.. If I come to food part.. I like there coffee, onion pakora, fish kabiraji. The best place for adda in the heart of Kolkata.

Aman Saraf

On 6th September 2017 Around 3:45pm Me & My Friend Arnab De Decided To Go & Visit This Place Indian Coffee House, Jadavpur For The 1st Time. Located Very Near To The Blue Lagoon, Jadavpur. We Tried Their Hot Coffee Chicken Sandwich & Boiled Egg. It Was Very Tasty & Delicious. We Had Great Time Together. And At Last We Left That Place Around 4:15pm. Thank you Indian Coffee House For Making Our Day Fantastic.

Shreyasi Dewan

Worst coffee ever n those tiny cups .... Most items on menu are not available ... Utensils not cleaned properly ... Nothing like the one in CLG street ... Don't go

Subhro Chatterjee

This branch of Indian coffee house does not give the same feel which you get in the big one .Really small place as compared with the North Kolkata coffee house.Located in the 2nd floor of CIT market near 8b bus stand this place fails to create the same magic.Food was ok nothing extraordinary.We settled for chicken kabiraji along with cold coffee.The place need maintenance.

Subarna Banerjee

It is just an outlet of the main Indian Coffee House,College Street. If you are looking for a place to chitchat with friends,this is the place. And obviously pocket friendly.

Sovangi Kundu

Neither their food tastes good nor their coffee. I don't know if the name coffee house is relevant or not. But this place is quite good for gossiping with friends. It has no match with the actual coffee house at college Street. Though I like their chicken pakoda.

Shahid Yousuf

This version if the coffee is usual same like the one we get at college street however I would say comming here is an Old Kolkata Nostalgia feeling. This place is a must try prices are reasonable if you are looking to sit and chit chat with friends. Even though now Kolkata houses a lot of cafe and you may find prices are close to what they charge. That is true but this place summons the era the period of nostalgia..

Samujjal Dey

Went to this outlet yesterday evening with my friends to chit chat,sip some hot coffee and munch and grab in some evening snacks.The food was nothing exceptional.But exceptional is the sense of old vibe that it creates,long lost adda and feeling of nostalgia that it brings.This will always be my go to place.

Sumana Guha

This is located on the 2nd floor of the cit building and is the only branch of the collage street one. Somehow the place lacks maintenance as well as the legacy compared to that one. The ambience is something they should really work on. Well coming to the food we ordered chicken and fish kabiraji, items only for which people still come here as I am totally aware that the coffee here tastes very bad. Both were good in quatity but lacks the crispness from outside, specifically the egg coating like how it should be. You can come here only if you are short of budget and still in a mood for some addas. Otherwise this is not at all recommended for the foodies.

DIDHITI DASGUPTA

Coffee house! Must visit if you wanna taste the worst coffee ever. In respective of taste of the foods price is damn high. I have to rate it 1 because I can't mark in negative! If you want to visit then go to college street instead.

Sankalan Paul Chowdhury

Well the ambience is nothing compared to the original Coffee house at College Street.But u know, just to have a conversation with ir friend or to relieve yourself with a cup of coffee and books, it works.

Nikita Pal

Hahahahahaha hahahahahaha hahaha.Thats my review for this place.The place has neither the charm nor the ambience of its College Street counterpart.The old world factor is the only reason people still bother to even look at this place.T he food is terrible.The staff courtesy factor is laughable.The price is not reasonable.To cut a long story short,why would anyone bother to visit this place at all?

Piu Bagchi

It's a small version of Indian coffee house at college Street..the food quality n waiters are ok.for enjoying the nostalgic ideas and ambience n giving gala adda the place is convenient

Monalisa Saha

Nice place for some adda on a cup of coffee and cutlet- Kabiraji. The place is not very well maintained. The waiters are typically dressed up to give an Old Calcutta feeling. The coffee,both hot and cold tastes nice. We had Fish kabiraji and chicken cutlet which tasted average. Pocket friendly place. Maintenance is required.

Aranyak Dhar

In this age of modern and posh restaurants this place has been able to maintain its wonderful charm and crowd pulling ability. The most iconic place of Jadavpur, it is a favourite of young and old alike. Finding a seat here is the toughest thing to do as this place is always jam packed. Coming to the food, the quality is reasonable but it takes a back seat given the extremely cheap prices at which they come. I really hope that this place never loses its charm and continues to enjoy its iconic status!

Spandana Ganguly

If you have been to ICH(college street outlet) first and then give a visit here,then you will be a bit disappointed. You're gonna miss the air that prevails in college street. I had been there few days ago with my friend to have a cup of coffee. We both had coffee and chicken sandwich. The coffee was a bit watery whereas the sandwich was way to dry. Price was nominal or should i say cheap. Ambience was okhayish.

Ambalika Deb Roy

This outlet of Indian Coffee House is located on the 1st floor of the CIT Market, Jadavpur. This outlet is nothing in terms of the ambience and food as compared to the original one. The staff is average, but the place isn't maintained properly. It has very limited seating arrangements and the overall place seemed to be shabby. There is huge room for improvement.

Swarnali Roy

Very small place. Its a another branch of indian coffee house. Food quality is not so good. Very slow service. Cant smoke like indian coffee house of college street. Price list is higher than college street.

Arijit Saha

Near the jadavpur this is another outlet of indian coffee house..... we all know about this great indian coffee house.....i tried fish finger from there.....and its too good and tasty....also mughlai paratha is too tasty item in here..........................

Soujanya Sinha Roy

কিছু জায়গা থাকে আড্ডা দিয়ে ঘেরা । খাবারটা গৌণ । নাম দেখে কফি খেলে ঠকে যাবার সমুহ সম্ভাবনা । কিন্তু বৃষ্টির দিনে বন্ধুদের নিয়ে মোগলাই পরোটা চালাতেই পারেন ।

Aritro Roy

Overall it will not stand up to the expectations after you have visited the College Street branch. It's comparatively small and you can't smoke here. The food is not so good.

Gaurav D

This is a place that reminds you of the eternal bangali adda. Its been here for ages. The best food is butter toast and coffee. Sandwiches are so so. Hygiene is a issue. Crowd is not always upto the mark. Service is so so. No parking. Overall a very casual place.

Tamal Seal

Have been there twice or thrice during college days. This coffee house is small as compared to the College Street one and the legacy is not the same. Except the sandwich to be very frank nothing is good to be mentioned, specially the cold coffee and other. The only thing you carry with you after coming out of the restaurant is nostalgia. Food:- 3/5 Service:- 2.5/5 Ambiance:- 3.5/5 Cutlery:- 2.5/5 Value for money:- 3/5 Nostalgia:- 5/5

Rounak Sarkar

This outlet is on the 1st floor of the C.I.T market, Jadavpur. Yesterday went there for the 1st time. It has very limited sitting arrangements and it is not well maintained. Only good for chating (adda) with college friends specially when it's raining outside!!! But don't try coffee here. It's really horrible & anyone can make better coffee at home. Mughlai paratha & other snacks are average. The street side chai with some snacks are way better than it's food.

June Udita

A place which was visited by my father with his friends and now, it is the place I visit with my set of friends. Famous for its coffee and the adda sessions-- Coffee House manages to maintain its reputation over the years. The Mughlai Paratha is a ravishing hit; so is the Kabiraji and the Afghani Cutlet. The best part about visiting this place is you don't go there just for the food; you go there to create and keep memories for a lifetime.

Suchandrima Dutta

A regular visited coffee house fr me and my clg frnd as it is the only place to hang out near JU. Though a bit dirty with cat roaming around, people do find their places to sit dwn and have long chats ova cffee. If you are concerned about hygiene thn plz drop d plan to visit this outlet.

Priyadarshini Das

Went over for coffee. Dingy place..... Not maintained properly . We ordered Black coffee Cold coffee And normal coffee Tasted normal.......can and should improve a lot .

Abhirup Lahiri

Oh, rightly said by Shreya on her Facebook timeline..... "Diner sheshe klanto hoye....Indian coffee house e eshey bosha r aro adda..." Yeah, finally had a chance to sit at Jadavpur Coffee House, it's like the stress buster after the long day event... Oh, Yes Yes! The taste is still their, we ordered Chicken Omlet Fry each (it's of course, Adwitya's choice - 'n I thank him on behalf of the team), chicken sandwich and my all day favourite hot mug of coffee. Trust me, Chicken Omlet Fry(the special dish of Jadavpur Coffee House - as told by my friend Adwitya S. Das), was really yummy in taste and it will melt in your mouth. If you haven't tried it - you're unlucky - this puja you must come down to this place for this dish (now it's my recommendation).

Arkaprabha Mukherjee

This coffee house outlet has been year for decades now. I have been here on several occasions with my friends. Although the coffee is nice, the chicken cutlet and fish fingers could have been a bit better. Also, the locations is not exactly amicable for every food lover. All in all, I was not hungry when I left. But there is huge room for improvement.

Anurag Sengupta

Another epic cafe joint.. you gotta visit.. visit to witness the melange of the nostalgic golden olden days with the vibrant youth.. amidst the lingering noise one can relish a hot coffee with friends.. sweet hearts.. politics.. healthy debates and endless talks overseing the crowd beneath.. Dont expect anything.. just let loose.. Not uploading pics.. Just go.. And experience.. Its priceless!

Pranay Saha

Nothing is good about this place. Trying roadside chaa and samosa is better than spending some extra bucks for very poor quality coffee and food. I think they charge for the seat!! ha ha ha...

Chatterjee SM(Chatujjebabu)

In comparison to the original "Albert Hall", outlet, this franchise of "Indian Coffee House" is kind of a bit let down, because the space inside is really cramped up and small. Food & beverage is as per the standard served in the main outlet, and service is okay. But the space is really an issue here, which not only makes the place claustrophobic, but also reduces the vintage charm, to some extent.

Subhradeep Bag

The ambience is nothing worth mentioning.....very noisy,the waiters r so grumpy and zombie like and make you Wait for hours before they hand you the menu...had chicken fried rice and chilly chicken..was ok typ...bt previously I have tried chicken sandwich and cold coffee...loved it...overall ok.

Debashis Mukherjee

"Dont judge a book by its cover",this outlet of coffee house is very small than the college street one...This place remains crowded all the time just because of its location (close to JU)...The waiters are very rude and behave somewhat insanely... Better to avoid this place because tea/coffee available in the streets are far better option...

Oindrila Ghosh

What is the worst thing about this place is some people think that this place is their personal property, they use to do their office works with lappy, only gossiping, teasing one table to another, mind it they are doing every action without ordering anything. And cherry on the cake is going to the balcony for smoking and reserve table with bags or sunglass or paper or pen and so on... What more disgusting is the waiters inspire these kind of disgusting people to do so. Even if you go and sit in an empty table, they will tell you "dekhtei to patch Chen lighter rakha ache, ekhane Lok ache, onno table a jan, r jaiga na pele baire giye opekhkha korun"... I mean really??? What the hell is this? Specially there is a staff with specs, short in height, I've never seen disgusting misbehaved staff in my life.. Simply "osovvo lok ". Foods are also like their staffs, pathetic cold coffee, you have to ask yourself that is there cold coffee with "cream" or "foam"after having it. Pathetic food, quality and taste, totally waste of money. Not recommended at all.

√ Deep √

We often go there..location is too good..Mutton kabiraji, Chicken sandwich just good.! Coffee is enough..You can seat there for infinite time..Staff behaves well..approx cost for 2, max 200/- unless you take any large dish..

Dr.Uddalak Chakraborty

Oh well...the name of this place may raise some eyebrows..but wait..what about quality.. Chicken cutlet somehow did manage to stand up to its name..but the chowmein served here did make me think twice about wat i ordered...a place were u can sit for hours and chat..but not satiate ur taste buds i guess. Moreover the coffee did not fail to disappoint me...

Lisa

Great place to hangout with your friends. During college life visiting this place is a must. If you are looking for delicious food this ain't the place then, but if you are looking for some coffee and adda do try out this place.

Meghna Dass

Some would say its a poor cousin of the college Street branch but hey even this one has a charm of its own. Sure the cutlery and crockery have seen better days and the place is too tiny to be a 'house' but it's s good place to meet up your university pals on a students budget. Do like the chicken sandwiches. It was also the first coffeehouse to go smokefree

Ananya.quench

please please don't get me wrong............. i have spent all of my college and university days here....no i am not writing a single sentence about food...but trust me with that very lil pocket money those days this place always opened the door...........no compare nothing i just love you for whatever you are

Sayantika Dutta (Eat Fly Buy Mag)

Such a disappointment. Not that I was expecting big things from this place, yet when you order something as basic as a cup of tea, you expect it to be decent. The plate and cup that the tea was served in was wet, dripping with water. One of the things I detest the most. There was tea on the plate, which then mixed with the water, creating a watery mess, well you get the idea. When I asked one of the waiters to change the cup and the plate, he was too reluctant and did not take note of my request at all. A friend ordered cold coffee, I seriously doubt her sanity for doing that. Equally horrifying. Will surely not be visiting again.

Puja Deb

Pathetic place. If the name is Coffee house you will at least expect a decent coffee from such a legendary place. But alas, the coffee was thinner than water to say the least. The chowmein was made in stale oil and not at all edible. Only pricing is low but quality of food is more important than price. Ignore the place.

Jagori Raychaudhuri

Indian coffee house, jadavpur is a nostalgic and cool place to have adda with your friends with good food and coffee. Or you can simply sit alone, prepare your lessons with a plate of sandwich and coffee. The taste of food is not something extraordinary. But the quality is good and prices are very reasonable. I have tried chicken sandwich, chicken cutlet, chicken kabiraji, baked fish, grilled fish, onion pakora ,and obviously coffee (both hot and cold). All of them is good to taste. Specially in evening adda mood, these are enjoyable. But I avoid to have noodles there since it is very oily. You need to stir the coffee carefully to get your required sweetness i.e. to mix the sugar properly.

I have no idea why I haven't reviewed for this place till date when it has become almost my regular haunt. Ordering cold or black coffee(depending on my mood) is a must for me with either onion pakora or egg omelette. But I have also tried out almost every item on their menu card already, be it cutlet or kaviraji; Fish fry or sandwiches; chowmein or fried rice. This place is the best choice to finish reading a book or writing your essays or just simply hang out with friends. Staffs are co-operative, food is moderate, the environment nostalgic even with small space area .And though you cannot smoke inside, there's the long gloomy corridor/balcony to do it while getting the view of busy Jadavpur. I have to say getting a table there particularly after 5 in the evening is a matter of sheer luck.

I am rating this place 4/5 out of nostalgia than food but yeah, food is decent too. I can't count the number of times me and my boyfriend sat here, eating sandwiches and cold (or black, depending on the season) coffee for hours while our experiments ran in the lab just a few steps away (in the chemical engineering lab of JU). Group studies, writing assignments- whatever it may be, we were here, occupying a small square table, talking for hours on end ordering one sandwich after another so that no one could ask us to leave (sorry to those whom we kept waiting in line outside). Coming to food: I recommend dry chilli chicken, Mughlai paratha (though it is a bit tough on some days) and sandwiches. Their egg sandwiches are better than chicken and you get big portions too. On a hot day, we would order at least two glasses of cold coffee because it's damn cheap and damn soothing! The espresso is quite nice too but ask them to put less sugar beforehand because they are way too generous with it!

Nice place to hangout with friends. Bangali adda+ friends +infusion makes perfect evening. Chicken cutlet is my favourite dish over their.

Have been there twice or thrice. It's very small compared to the College Street one. Even the legacy is not the same. The chicken sandwich is good. But the coffee is too bad, by which it still lives in the minds of the people.

Location- Near 8b, on the 1st floor of the same building that houses bake club and Bawarchi take away.. This cafe is old but less popular and visibly much smaller than its college street counterpart. But somehow they serve better coffee , i love their egg and mutton sandwich Though they serve Chowmein but it will be wiser if you stick to the snacks.. A suitable outlet for students as the picket picnch is very less pls don't expect ac or quick service ;)

Good place to sit and chat all day long.... Did not like the foods at all. Did not find the coffee good either.... The place is also not clean enough....

Not as great as the one in College Street, but nevertheless once you taste their items you get the quintessential Indian Coffee House feeling. Had their onion pakoda with sauce, chicken cutlet and kabiraji, slices of fresh oven-baked buttered bread and their mutton Afghani. Not really satisfying, lacking in the zing, but once or twice if one can't visit the outlet in College Street then one can satiate one's longing for this iconic coffee house's popular items at its replicated twin in Jadavpur.

Probably my first negative review on Zomato. The staff don't cooperate at all. Didn't even provide us with a glass of water. The coffee we ordered was horrible. Watery, and probably just nescafe powder added with hot water. Would never go back there again.

It really pains me to give such low ratings to such an old place of heritage. But our experience there was so bad, I had to.The place is located on the 1st floor of Jadavpur Super Market.It,being a market area,was very dirty.Fish smell everywhere.Still ignoring all that,we went to this place.It was even worse there.Hardly any chairs were available.Unknown people were sharing tables and what's worse, water was dripping from ceiling and falling on our food.Coming to the food,we ordered Mutton kabiraji and chicken kabiraji.It felt like they were just dipped in oil and served to us with absolutely no seasoning.Overall we did not like the place nor its food.

Drawing any comparison to any other fancy,themed or dazzling new cafe will be so wrong and unjust for this old standing heritage...It has its pros and cons ,but come what may there is an old charm and love for this place..which made me write this.. The place has called nothing of ambiance..but yes it has Life!...Over the bland simple chair tables ,thousand of people still stop by everyday,,and getting a place at times get difficult... The coffee is okayish...The mughlai and kabiraji i find too oily..the pakoras and omlettes are great...what i love here strangely is the Mixed gravy chow and chilli chicken...The mixed noodles with its mutton bits is realllly awesome! Yes this place could definitely use some upgrades and little change in food and drinks and inside..but still I would hold it close to my heart..for its nostalgia!

Basically this Indian coffee house is a place of hangout from students to retired people.This coffee house is not up to the mark with the outlet of college street. Located near jadavpur 8b bus stand,coffee house used to serve decent coffees and many other dishes. We have tried Cold coffee,it's good as usual. Infusion is also enjoyable. Fish fry is satisfactory but not up to the mark.Chicken cutlet is delicious.Ambience is pleasant.

It's a miniature of the college Street coffee house..well behaved boys,simple cookies, tea,coffee, noodles etc...can spend time with your friends or laptop for long

The charm of Coffee House is the adda with tea and snacks. Unfortunately they are finding it hard to maintain their reputation and slowly losing it's charm. The quality of food has deteriorated over time. The service is just about okay.

Avijit Biswas

Went there two or three times for a causal adda with friends... no deco only some tables and chairs scattered allover... Ambience was like a club... staffs are ok... service was bit unorganized... have there pakoras and coffee... taste was good... good place for hangout with friends... very very pocket friendly place...

Sreetama Das

Food is just okay. Marginally average. Okayish environment. Customer service is good. Well behaved staffs. Just a casual hang out place if you've no other place to go.
