Kalapata

Best local food I have had this trip, thus far. Better value than Kache Koche or whatever the fancy place is called. Popular. Excellent service - plenty of staff. Besides printed menu there is a changeable one in wall - mostly fish

Bit crowded and therefore the small dining room cramped at lunch. Place is so popular that they gave a queue section outside.

Only two 'dissapointments' - all unlimited except my favourite dish, the drumstick one; plus foreign VISA card not accepted. Kitchen looked plenty clean enough.

Will I return?: Absolutely!

One of the best place in South Calcutta for traditional Bengali food...

Looking for a thali or full fetched bengali menued plate on your table, visit Kalapata. They keep the authenticity of Bengali food & the gesture too to their customers.

One of the best restaurant in this area for pure authentic Bengali food. Each & every item is good enough. Their fish items are the best. Price is reasonable too. The lady who runs the restaurant was very friendly & dearly. Only con is that the dining area lacks space. Rest all is well.

The food is excellent and this is one of the best Bengali cuisine with in South Kolkata.
The price and the quality of the Bengali food serve here is really great and the staff behaviour is also friendly. This place is located just opposite to Lake Mall and you can call the restaurant directly to get exact location.
Food option is quite vast and lot to choose from.
The quality and freshness is top class.
Suitable for children, old family members.

Went there for having Lunch, a pocket friendly Bengali thali.
Taste too good, variety of dishes.
Usually too crowded, waiting line is there.
But worth waiting.
Recommended for sure.
Service is really quick.

The place is located a bit inside and you may have some trouble finding it out for the first time. However, the location on Maps is correct.
Most of the popular items in the menu are available. Quality is good and the prices are also reasonable.

Authentic Bengali cuisine at a reasonable price and decent environment. The service is fast and responsive. You can find people of all ages, and social status enjoying their food. Must try their Vetki Paturi, Sarshe Chingri and Mutton dishes. Pocket pinch around Rs 400 per head if you are in a group of heavy eaters

Good food.. good quality and qualtity..
Economic thalis..
service could be better..

I heard about this restro and 15th sep, 2022 visited the restro..
NAME : Kolapata restaurant
Location : just opp lane of Lake mall.
Time : 11.30 am to 4pm
THEY DONT DO HOME DELIVERY
One senior lady was in the cash counter...she is a very nice and sweet person.
Around 1.30 pm i went there for their fish thali..
I was soooo hungry thats why i ate all else I could not.
The Katla thali was 180 rs...they served very quickly.
What I loved they served in the Clean plate with Banana leaf on it ..

Thali contained : Rice, Alu bhaja, alu seddho, daal, gondgoraj lebu, maach er matha die badhakopi, a big size of katla fish and Chutney..
Taste was awesome and Not tikha at all..
I did take away also as i loved the food..had egg thali rs 120(contained two eggs) and fish thali 180 rs...all the items were there except the lebu and alu seddho...i guess those are special for dine in..
Next day will ask the Aunty 😀
And i had to go to Lake mall..so asked the aunty if i can keep the parcel and later can collect...she allowed..such a sweet person..
And now on Whenever I will visit lake mall...i will visit this Hidden gem for sure
UPDATE on 21st Sep, 2022
I visited again and this time I took Sorshe Kaatla thali..that is 200 rs
And Alu seddho is for sit and eat only not for take away 🙂
The Rice quantity was too much for me so before i start eating I asked them to reduce that as I dont waste food.
They gave me a clean plate and spoon...I just reduce the Rice and returned them...the staffs are so nice ..they asked in mid eating if i need rice or not...
PS : I eat less ..so any place if i go for thali always Reduce the Rice and never ask to reduce the thali price either...
So keep in mind reduce the quantity by your own does not mean the thali price will be reduced...that will remain same Everywhere and which is ok with me

At last we found some Bengali restaurant with reasonable price. We went on the occasion of Bengali New Year. We took one Katla fish meal, one Mutton meal and its cost us only Rs 520. I am pretty sure if you go any other Bengali restaurant it will cost double.

Taste, quantity, quality too good. Specially mutton. I have not eaten so soft and home style cooked mutton anywhere for long time.

I really recommend it to everyone

Authentic bengali food in reasonable price comparing to the other brand bengali restaurants. Every food item including fish, chicken, is tender, fresh and well cooked. A total 5 star experience !

From the bottom of my heart, this is really very very heart warming lunch experience I had.

This place is just in the opposite thin route( goli ) of Lake-Mall. Just ask nearby people they can easily guide you through.

This place is small and little congusted but there is AC and Fan running on their full potential to keep the place cool and the food is exceptionally well cooked.

The people are very very humble there. I ordered
1. Usual Veg thali - 100/-
2. Mutton thali - 350/- ( 3 medium mutton pieces)
(for thalis you can refill all the items except the mutton , fish, paneer etc.)

Each item has the touch of Home and very pleasant to eat. It is very good to go with your family and enjoy the lunch dinner there. If you think you can not eat more, you can pack the rest( maybe there are a little charges in packing) and took it home.

So, what are you waiting for.

Amazing food quality and great service 💯💯💯💯

Excellent, authentic Bengali food. Service was noteworthy, a single waiter who doubled as a server for all the tables and was great at guiding even non-Bengali customers in making their choice of food. You'd expect slightly better pricing for the small sized eatery like this but it's OK once in a while and the service and taste of food compensated well.

Whenever I visit Lake Market I try to visit this restaurant for authentic Bengali cuisine. Some dishes are very nice: maachher chochchori, pomfret maach, katla kalia..In a normal thali you will get everything Bhaat, dal, lebu-lonka, chutney, bhaja and your chosen dish. Located just beside Saanti Villas.

Nice place for Bengali nonveg and vegetarian cuisine.
Service is good and helpful.

Food is very good in terms of quality as well as taste. The staffs are very cooperative and understanding. The owner takes care that all guests are given proper care.

Brilliant taste and hospitality, the cost is a tad bit on higher side, however the authenticity, taste and quality of the food makes it up for it.
