Had an average experience with the taste.Concept of paying for each item separately here starting from ur plate to lemon and green chilli..can be visited again to some other items.

Food quality or test is not satisfactorily. Its much hyped hotel. Amount of food is sufficient for one but I am not satisfied with the test of food.

If you are looking for very light food then this could be your destination. Foods are awesome, they dont even use onion/garlic in any dish which makes all the dish very light. But if you think it will be cheaper like other pice hotel then you might be wrong as they charge individually for each dish you ordered even for the banana leaf as well. But you want to taste homely food in a environment like 70-80s Kolkata then you must visit this place once.

Today we visited Hotel Tarun Niketan which is a located near Lake Mall at Kalighat. We ordered bhat/rice, aloo bhaja, dhokar dalna, rui maach and golda chingri. The food was absolutely delicious with reasonable price. Hotel Tarun Niketan is known to be a 104years old pice hotel in Kolkata where time stood still. If you ever want to taste that solely bengali cuisine within affordable price this is the place you are looking for..Follow us @what_bengalis_eat on instagram for more such food contents.

The place , famous for its bengali traditional food and also a paise hotel in nature is found to be bit shaded these days if to be compared in terms of price. Although I feel good enough if I put price tag aside.Place is very near to Kalighat metro station, right hand while facing towards Garihat.

I dont know how to explain this but the satisfaction I get after having a meal at a proper Pice Hotel is way more than a high class restaurant. Probably because my love towards authentic Bengali food.The old Calcutta vibes and feel in such places gives a different pleasure all together. Being a proper Pice Hotel Torun Niketan excels in all these points.I took Rice, Ucche Pepe Moong Dal, Aloo Bhaja, Khasir Mangso and Tomato Khejurer Chatney. Everything was served on a Banana Leaf. All of the dishes werent very spicy unlike other places and homely made.On my second visit I was blown away by their Macher Tel Chocchori and I highly recommend it with plain rice. Try their fish items that tastes very unique. Prices are very reasonable and that old Calcutta ambiance, youll seriously get a different experience at Tarun Niketan. It will stay one of my favorite Pice Hotel for long time.

I am visiting this place for quite a long time now whenever I come to Calcutta and am near Rashbehari Area I surely eat out here. Typical bengali flavour, spices are mild compared to Swadhin Bharot, great variety. I love simple homestyle mutton curry here although they have lots of fish also available.

Its a very oldest piece hotel near about 107 year old,the food serving style with banana leaf is amazing, variety of food available here.The food is very very tasty and hygienic.you can also check out Tarun niketan history in Foodka channel.Make a weekend plan with you friend i am sure you will find happiness

Great Bengali food. Ausome in taste. We just love their food quality.

First of all, do not and please do not believe the reviews or videos that you see about this place on social media or videos. There is a huge difference in what was shown and Reality. I start with very basics when I visit a place to eat. I ordered Fish ( বোয়াল মাছ ) and Rice to start from here and a takeaway so I can understand the regular approach by the place. The Rice is normal grain and sufficient for me - hence focused on fish. The container contains two small hairs ( as shown on picture ), found the first one after opening the container. Next one came within the gravy while eating. The gravy is a common for other fishes too... Ive experienced two-three different kind of smell of fish from the gravy, so its a common bowl for the fishes and the small hairs too. 80/- INR for one piece of fish and gravy is acceptable but the gravy is oily, rich in spices (red chillies specifically ) and not at all good in taste. Being a bong, i grew up with Rice+fish bonding.... And this gravy is worst... Ever.Not at all recommended.... Hence single Star.

All items prepared without onion & garlic. All are less spicy.

A good place to have authentic Bengali food. But dont go their for dinner, they served the foods which were made in morning. And they didnt serve these hot.

So basic and soul filling food.

Simple maach bhat er hotel and, kom poisai pusti kor khaddo.In simple words, nutritious food for less money.

Amazing Bengali food with less spices and oil and value for money . If you love Bengali food do give it a try. You wont regret it.

Tasty food. Clean environment. Great ambiance.

One of the best pice hotels of Kolkata. Each and every dish is unique. Whether you are a vegetarian, or a non veg lover, this place is the right place for you. One fascinating aspect about this place is that the vegetarian dishes are cooked without onion and garlic. Pure niramish in the truest sense!

Excellent food quality and available all typical Bengali preparations. Very cordial hospitality.

Bengali Thali : Steamed Rice, Chicken Curry, Muri Ghonto (Bengali Fish Head and Rice Mishmash), Uche Alu Bhaja, Alu Makha, Moong Daal aar Aamer Chutney (₹160)Hotel Tarun Niketan is a 106 year Pice Hotel which still serves food on Kolapata (Banana Leaves). This is a part of series on decades old pice hotels of Kolkata and they still serve freshly made food from catch of the day and usually serve at cheap prices as compared to any restaurant.Simple Interiors, Wooden Marble Tables, Old Plastic Chairs, Hand written rate menu black board on wall with white chalk will give you an idea of the antiquity of the place, Home like food at very low prices and also theyve a wide range of authentic bengali delicacies that will definitely tantalize ones taste buds.Also, their dishes have “NO ONIONS” – every food item is made without onions and garlic apart from the Fish, Meat and Egg preparations.Where : Hotel Tarun Niketan, 88/1B, Rash Behari Avenue, Near Lake Mall, Kalighat, Kolkata.

I would rate 3 star because the food I expected was not up to the mark and the food was served cold. While the staff behavior was very good but the quality of food was just average

A 105 year old Bengali hotel, with lots of option. Food are less oily. They serve basmati rice as white rice. Food will be served on banana leaf. Vetki paturi, macher dimer Baja, ilisher matha die Kochu saak, ucche aloo vaja, Amer chatni. All of those items are really good. It cost 800/- for 3(as some of the items has been reordered. It was really worth paying.The only con is salt was not added properly to the fish items. However that can be ignored. Okay those who are looking for recipes without onion and garlic they can give a try here.

Tried shitol macher peti and it was very tasty and flavoured bengali.. recommend this hotel

Not sure why this pice hotel is so overpriced and overrated.. the food quality and taste is not worth the price paid!

I found this place very good...All foods are tasty...I love specially Mutton...All over good place for your lunch or dinner...

This is an age-old Pice Hotel, serving good quality traditional Bengali cuisines at affordable prices. If food is your Only priority and you are happy to ignore the shabby ambience, then I would suggest you to visit this restaurant. The chicken & the mutton items were extremely non-spicy and easy to digest. Foods are served on fresh banana leaves and the serving quantity is decent. This place is very popular and you can see several newspaper cuttings pasted on the walls, bearing the name & review of this Pice Hotel. However, I would like to suggest the management to focus on their kitchen hygeine, because hairs were found in the chicken curry. Overall, its a good experience. Recommended. 👍

For all your bangla khaana needs!

Awesome bengali food in pocket friendly prices

I ate three times the quantity I usually eat. I think that summarises my review.

Today we visited.......we truely liked those dishes....♥️ will visit again

#Picehotels have a long history attached to them in Kolkata and the rest of Bengal - it is said that this genre came to existence when a full meal used to cost 1 paisa only - good old days.. My tryst with these kind of restaurants started during my early school days when my parents sometimes used to take me for a meal at few of them instead of the usual Park Street favourites which we used to frequent more often..It was a filling meal alongwith great adda with an eminent fellow blogger from Hyderabad - what else does one want on a Thursday afternoon!!Service was super prompt & the place was neat & clean contrary to common perception that such places are not hygienic.. Please go through the snaps for more on what we had..And yes, the meal doesnt cost #1paisa anymore but its still an extremely economical deal considering all that we had came down to only 200 bucks per person.. That was sheer bliss!!Journey of an Epicurean Cine Trotter (BLOG/FACEBOOK) continues..My journey can also be tracked on INSTAGRAM via @epicureancinetrotterBy the way, have you joined Kolkata Food Trotters on FACEBOOK yet??Do you have a similar pice hotel story to share??

Location is very good, 5 mts from রাস বিহারী more, on the main Road. Items are very very attractive and tasty, specially menu for Fish are varieties, vegetables also good cooked ant tasty. Behaviour of staff are very friendly. Only minus side is inside decoration is not updated. Mostly বাংলা foods, like, fish, Mutton, vegetables are available.

Osadharon experience chicken Curry ta best chilo.. Huge rusher jonno onno item chilona.. Next time Hobe asa Kori.

Some foods are good. Over priced.

Dishes are very good and varieties of items are there..

Traditional Bengali Cuisine with old memories. Wonderful recipes like Murighonto, Kachushak with macher matha/ sometimes with illish macher matha, bhetki macher kanta chochchori or Simple Dal & Macher Muro curry are sooo finger licking 😋😀. Mutton & Chicken curry is simply cooked not so spicy. Fish option depends on market availability. One of the best 👌 value for money

This is a very old Hindu eatery or piece hotel serves pure Bengali food. Prepare variety of mouthwatering fish dishes cooked using minimum oil and spices. Foods are ser served on banana leafs. Beside this they also serve some selected Mughlai, Chinese and north Indian dishes at evening. Moderately priced.

One of the best places to experience traditional and authentic Bengali cuisine. Highly recommended.

Amazing Place. Worth a try.

Its a bengali pice hotel and serves great quality bengali food

And age old restaurant. Food quality maintained. Good people.

Location is very popular place, 6 mts walking from Rasbihari More, south calcutta, it is on the main road. Food quality is very good, specially designed for for bengalee khana, varieties cooked fish items are available with Mutton, only back point is, the entire hotel and food place are not healthy, it is cleaned but not up to date, washing place is not good for health also no toilet for gentleman use.

Beautiful hygienic and authentic bengali cuisine

An old establishment, with varities of Bengali vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Price is on the higher side taste is average. Ambience is bad, and overall the place is dirty and unhygienic. Better to use roadside stalls instead of this place.Behaviour of the staffs are really good.

Enjoying excellent home delivery service from them in this Lockdown.

Hotel Tarun Niketan is a 108-year-old Pice Hotel that still serves Kolapata cuisine (Banana Leaves).Ive been coming here for a long time, and anytime Im in Kolkata and near the Rashbehari Area, I make a point of eating here. One unique feature of this restaurant is that the vegetarian dishes are prepared without the use of onion or garlic. They have a large choice of authentic Bengali dishes like Murighonto, Kachushak with macher jhol etc. that will undoubtedly excite ones taste buds, as well as home-style food. The price is bit upper hand but worth it.

Authentic Bengali Food...

Traditional bengali food junction, still having the feel of seventies. Specially go for the fish & veg dishes.

Food quality average. Go on or before 1 p.m else you will not be served hot food, option reduces as well. Paturi must try. Cheap food.

Nice food with cheap budget.

Great food, pocket friendly.

Good quality and taste

Authentic Bengali dishes. Not too much not too little. A must go for people who misses home cooked foods.

Awesome bengali food

Serves food in disposable banana leaf. Very clean, hygienic and value for money.

A simple dine place. I didnt find any remarkable thing to be shared. A simple dine place for Bengalis.

So delicious..It feels like a homemade food😍

Very good hotel

Awesome experience..feel like home...food was so delicious😋😋..

One of Kolkatas heritage. Really good food for reasonable price.

Food quality was quite good and service aswell

Great and authentic Bengali cusine ... Tastes too good

Vey bad experience.. the food was neither tasteful and the sitting place was absolutely creepy...dont waste your money....just over rated

Must must must try....pioneers of pice hotel....mutton is a must....mixed veg lajawab....

A Prime location at Rashbehari Avenue between Lake Mall and Rashbehari crossing. Tasty foods with reasonable price. Traditional place. Food will be served in Banana leaf. Lots of varieties available.

It was completely a different experience altogether. This is a renowned paise hotel located in 2minutes walking distance from the lake mall towards rashbehari more.. Varieties of Fish Dishes and authentic Bengali cuisine, u can find here in affordable price..cooking style and taste is simple and feels homely..they dont use powder spices, instead they use shile-bata moshla..which is good for ur digestive system. There is no thali system, each and every dish including kola pala, lebu will cost u..one must experience this hotel once atleast

Amazing food. Im just glad this place exists in these times of superficialities.

Good Place for Lunch. But not so clean.

Very good

Just awsmmm......very very tasty food. I loved it

Good Bengali food serve here

Best place for cheap and delicious bengali food. One should try prawn and other stuffs.

If you still fascinated about pice hotel then its a heritage...you must visit...Added is Banana leaf.

Good food .

Darun, food and experience wow

Indian food quality moderate not too good

Harritage but shabby eatery at Rashbehari crossing.

Very nice authentic Bengali pice Hotel ..... ideal for the person with a penchant for Bengali cuisines.

Nice food..But need to maintain basic hygiene.

Good and healthy bangali Restuarant

Costly. so so. not for poor customer.

Its known as a live hotel ... though they charge for everything that you take ... from rice to pulse to plate and even water glass ... they charge for everything separately ... and foods are enough spicy ... so no homely food ... I would rarely recommend this place to anyone

Its a paice hotel (means only rice servers unlimited here). Foods servers here on banana leaf (they count the cost of Banana leaf and glass for drinking water, who did that?😂😂😂). Foods are just ok. Less salt and spices. Ideal for people suffering stomach diseases. Having tradition over 100 years but still very untidy. Table and chairs are so small you cant sit here comfortably. Wash basin is the worst. Smelt so bad you gonna vomit there. I think if they want to keep there tradition they need will power to keep it going.

It is a good place for budget bengali lunch. Very simple but tasty food. And its a healthy food option.

Its a pure Bengali and pice hotel. All dishes are quite cheap. Fish dishes are special and delicious

Very taste & non-spicy fish

Good

In my attempt to revisit the iconic restaurants of Kolkata (preferably 100 year olds) I went to a pice hotel named Tarun Niketan at 1B Rashbehari Avenue ..Pice hotels are eateries where each item is individually priced from the banana leaf on which the food is served to the lemon wedge along with the food items that you order ..Tarun Niketan was established in 1915. Time has stood still here since then. It is a humble, nondescript hotel serving extraordinarily low-priced, home style authentic Bengali food to a vast range of client base, from various strata of society.We had ordered aloo uchchhe bhaja, bok phooler bora, machher dim er bora, chingri maacher bora, katla machh bhaja, mushurir daal, bhetki machher paturi, ilish machher jhol, pathar mangsho and paid around ₹680.. the ‘machher dim er bora’, ‘chingri machher bora’ were as large as the palm of my hand .. the mutton was soft, succulent with a big piece of potato exactly like it is cooked on Sundays in a typical Bengali home .. had to skip chutney since we were too full ..There were many other items for which we will have to visit again .. like aloo posto, ilish machher matha diye kochur shaak, peyaj koli diye morola machher chochhori etc etc..Hotel Tarun NiketanLocation: Beside a fruit stall, few steps after the first lane on the right, while going from Rashbehari More to Lake Market is the entrance of the hotel on the main road with the name properly displayed, though the actual hotel is a bit inside

Great

Good but behavior of the cashier was rude.

One of the best pice hotels in the market. Loved its food, for both quality and quantity wise.

Excellent food quality only for bengali food

One of the heritage eateries in Kolkata since 1915.Awesome comfort food.The sitting is clean and hygenic.The owner Mr Arun Deb is very friendly and shared how things worked at the time of pre-independance and at the time when he took over in 1980. As per my experience,the mutton curry is a must have.Thanks to FOODKA AND BHAIPO!

Its a simple and cheap hotel serving bengali food with variety of fish items and vegetable menus. The rates are very reasonable and food is tasty. No tips please, no AC and outlook is shabby. In case one is interested in bengali simple, tasty and cheap food its worth a try. 😋

Retro .. Nice taste

Very nice . Good to test and if you are fond of traditional Bengali food it will be one of the best choice in Kolkata .

Good authentic bengali food at pocket friendly price

Delicious authentic Bengali food at very reasonable price.. banana leaves as plates is priceless

Lovely Food, simply awesome

Lovely place for bengali food. With multiple fish variety u will surely cherish them

Except everything was good. Haanser Dim er jhol was the best one.
