This is by far the best place to have south indian food in Kolkata as per my opinion, it may seem a bit pricy but ranging soft & fluffy idlis , crispy dosas and hot piping vadas with special chutney are a delight to have on any day.
This is a hidden gem. Pocket friendly piece and no compromise on food and taste. Newspaper and Dried leaf packing was great to see. Only sambar packed in a plastic container. Dosa was excellent but I asked to separate the potato unfortunately they put it inside. I ordered one special chutney but they provided same chutney twice. I thought they will mix onion with potato but they send it separately. Such a confusing restaurant. But sambar got the full marks. I would love to try again but will prefer seat and eat.
Ramakrishna lunch home more popularly known as bhupendra mansion (the premise name) or even so 'Bhuppi'..
Have been visiting here since eternity.. from years since a kid.. it serves one of the best idlis in town.. which melts the moment u take it in your mouth..
The place is bustling with morning walkers .. n u hv to wait to get a seat.. however wait is not that long because it is fast moving.. it is a quaint restaurant.. nothing fancy in this place no formal sitting.. no decor.. but it's just the food why u wld go there .
Soft melting idlis . Crisp vadas.. n filter 'Kafee' (coffee).. served also traditionally in steel glass n vessel...
There is more to the menu.. however they r normal dosas n uttapam n likes..
Do not miss idli with special chutney.. n filter coffee.. it just cannot fail you!!
N yes a place which is just for all age group . Kid to parents to grand parents to all.. n all wld love it..
Excellent place for all time south indian food. Their fluffy, hot idlis are the best. There was a time when this place used to have a lot of waiting. The people who are loyal to this place visit it even today inspite of there being so many other options. One question for the management, how do you justify the price of 2 small idlis as 80 rs ? In places like Bangalore, you can have 8 idlis for 80 rs which are equally as good as yours. Please look into the prices, maybe that is why the crowd has reduced in the recent times. Except the price, everything about this place is brilliant just like old times.
Best Idli in town. They just melt in your mouth. Ghee onion dosa is delicious too. They don’t have any such ambience, it’s quite a decent place to just sit and eat good south indian food.
Being a huge south indian lover I have been visiting this place since I was a kid. Idli , masala butter dosa and filter coffee is what I tried. Idli is a must try here. No ambience as such , the coconut chutney is 👍 sambhar is okay okay.
Want to have south indian meal.. This the place. From idli to vada to dosa every item is just perfect. Also do try their special chutney.
What a great place i have found with one of my friend who is very much regular here.
Awesome authentic south Indian food allmost at very cheap rate.
order 1 idli 1 vada onion uptapam with Special chutney...Taste was super,Staff and their service was also good.what I dont like is ambience only. toilet was too dirty also hand basin was not clean.
Like this very old south Indian joint..its near my house..been coming here for ages.. Good dosa , vada.. When u enter u get thrown with the smell of sambar.. Service is fast and promt and reasonable on the pocket
This is a gem. For breakfast that is affordable and delicious.
Food - Molgapudi idli, sambar vada and filter coffee. There is absolutely nothing bad about anything except that the Molgapudi was a little bit grittier than I prefer. I have had a lot of Molgapudi but none so gritty. A little tough to my taste buds.
Service - polite and quick
Ambience - it is a small hotel but I wish that it could have been better. Since all seats were filled I had to sit at one that was near toilet. And it was open inside is a little dungeony.
Food - 4.5/5
Service - 5/5
Ambience 2/5
Decent place for good South Indian food. Liked their masala dosa and onion masala uttapam.
I found the price of filter coffee a bit high (55 each).
Its a small Restaurant in a ground floor house...
The best Idly I have ever had,
including the idli s i had in chennai, Bangalore or other so called best South Indian restaurants...
I had traditional idli , Podi idli
(chilli powder smeared on idli), sada vada, and massala dhosa.
Though price of idli/vada a bit high Rs 50/ piece. But it worth it.
all items were very tasty but idli is THE BEST.
A must go place who loves South Indian food.
Else you will miss the Best Idli on earth
its like idli got vanished in the mouth like a fine mishti paan.
Really awesome food.
Ambience is not so good but homely.
its on Lake road (Sarat bose end 100 feet away)
Opens 6 am -12 noon
eve at 4 pm -9.30 pm
MONDAY CLOSED
Certainly one of the best place for South Indian food. Mainly I'd say Tamil Nadu style and just about a hint of Karnataka and Andhra only around Dosa and idly/vada
All vegetarian place with good just awesome , best place for South Indian food in kolkata, only it is very simple in decor- old types, but clean, don’t go by the looks of the place - food is really good
taste and the portion size is perfect.
though takeaway isn't a great idea for me
staff is okay
ambience is not bad
cleanliness and hygiene is upto the mark

This is one of the oldest udupi restaurant in deshopriyo park area. Restaurant has that old charm specially crowded during morning hours in weekend. People njoying there dosa and filter coffee. Service was quite fast and friendly. Tried there butter masala dosa and filter coffee where dosa came with dollop of white butter it was perfectly crispy prepared with fresh batter . Filter coffee was quite authentic one could get in Kolkata.
Authentic & Famous Restaurant. Known for its South Indian Cuisine, it still serves quality food. It's popularity is not limited to the city of Kolkata but also famous all over India.
It is indeed one of the oldest places in Kolkata serving South Indian food. Now, it is popularly known as Bhupendra Mansion. It had been closed for almost more than a year because of covid. But now, I am happy to say that it has recently reopened. The food is good, idly , sambhar, vada, dosa s,etc .This place also serves good filter coffee.
Please Note: This is not accepting payments via cards. Only cash!
New Update is that I came to know just yesterday, it's not accepting cards on Sundays only!
Next visit today 7th August 2022, same opinion about food and place
Great food...very delicious...Clean and well maintained... They serve superb south indian dishes and you will get idly batter too...
Landed up here for those quintessential south Indian breakfast cravings you have living in a hostel. Must say, it was not a bad decision at all. Initially was a bit skeptical of trying this place, considering the variety and options in the menu are limited and a restaurant named 'Rao's Udipi Home'nearby has many more options at a cheaper price. Nonetheless, was not disappointed after dominating Idli, Ghee Paper Plain Dosa, Utthapam, Vada and filter coffee. These were accompanied with unlimited refills of sambar and coconut chutney. The idli was freshly made, almost melt in the mouth. The vada was crispy from the outside and well cooked on the inside and went really well when inundated in sambar. The dosa was well prepared too and you could taste that it was made in ghee. Giving it four stars for the relatively high prices and less choices in the menu. Satisfied though.
