My journey of being a foodie began here ... in this restaurant of Bhubaneswar. It was back then in 2015 when I dined here. Not much of the menu that I remember till date but the only thing that I can assure you that this restaurant will leave you as a person who praises the intricacies of eating and dining.

I had heard so much of Dalma that I didn't wish to miss out on the opportunity to savour few of the local dishes while I was visiting Bhubaneswar. Being a tad late for lunch, I ordered steamed rice, dalma and rohu cooked in mustard curry.
Quantity of rice is more than sufficient for 1. The dalma was ok as I didn't have any reference point to compare. The killer was the rohu fish cooked in mustard curry. Amazing taste.
At 2.45 pm the restaurant was very busy which made it amply clear that most of the dishes are fresh from oven.
Team Dalma- keep it up. Will surely try the mutton in bamboo next time.

Missing home go to Dalma.
Missing home food: Dalma
Want to eat full but healthy: Dalma.
I ordered the simple veg meal and it tasted bliss.
Honestly, you won't feel heavy even after eating 9 items they serve you. And you will be satisfied your tummy will be happy and what else do you want. It's simply amazing. Even the packaging of the food was wonderful.
I wanted to rate it 6 stars. But alas! There's only 5πŸ˜‰.

I was here for a very special one day trip. I had done a lot of research on which restaurant to head to for authentic Oriya food and fortunately I had picked this one. From the airport we headed straight to this place to satiate our hunger pangs. Since me and my partner wanted to try maximum dishes we ordered for 4- one chicken, one crab, one meat and dalma . We were having crab for the first time and embarrassingly we had to ask our server how to break it and what portions to eat. He was very polite and helped us.

Now coming to the dishes , dalma which is a signature Oriya dish which is actually a sort of a dal didn’t appeal to our tastebuds that much. But the other 3 dishes were yummy specially the mutton and the crab. They provide tawa rotis which are fresh and light. Overall the food was also fresh. I would surely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is visiting bhubaneshwar for the first time. Unfortunately I forgot to take photos of my food because I was so busy eating πŸ˜›. -with Abhishek Sethi

(A word of caution: judging on basis of food I would give it around 3.5-4 stars but the 5 stars that I have given was because of the overall special experience)

Visited this place during my Bhubaneswar office trip. Had lunch in this place for two days.
Day 1. Ordered one veg thali and one bamboo mutton. Veg thali was very good, there was rice, dalma, alu chokha, two veg, chatney, papad and kheer. But bamboo mutton was not at all upto the mark.
Day 2. Ordered mutton thali. In mutton thali there was rice, dalma, alu chokha and mutton. Mutton was very good both quantity and quality wise.

A worth visit to this place...

Typical Odiya cuisine; the prawn and fish are good. Dalma (lentils cooked with veg), is a must!

Ambience is okay! Service is fast as more or less the cuisine is defined!

Awesome place to taste authentic Oriya cuisines. The prices are reasonable with very good variety. The food is cooked in a homely manner and is light on your stomach. Had the Bansh Pora Mutton which was great. But the hygiene of the place needs to be improved as we saw flies on the table.

A friend in Bangalore & originally from Bhubaneshwar had told me, "If your not able to eat a local meal in a house, don't bother just go to dalma." So that's exactly what i did.
Wrapped up my work & left for dinner. In fact it was at a walkable distance from my hotel in "Unit Chaar". Having odisha's local food for the first time, i asked the guy waiting my table - Prakash, to not surprise me but gimme the best of everything that odishi cuisine has to offer & he took it from there. Kudos to him for the real attention he took care of.

Dalma is a typical odia dish. It's something similar to dal (made of lentils) but also had lots of vegetables added to it. So, the name suggests that we are entering into an odia cuisine speciality restaurant.

Sounds great as I am odia and I have grown up eating odia cuisine.

The set up is ordinary. You don't have fancy interiors or setting arrangements. But then, you walked in to ensure you eat good authentic odia food. So that's where they have put all their focus and energy on.

You settle down. They have thali as well as a la carte. You get all possible odia speciality including santuda, badi chura, chingudi jhola etc etc. Let me not elaborate but in short, all that you want in odia person's daily food, there is a good possibility of you getting it here.

Overall, I like the simple set up. A fancy interior with gaudy setting arrangement would have probably spoilt the simplicity of odia food and the culture.

Overall, if you are Bhubaneswar and you are tired of eating all those run of the mill tandoori, chinese, continental, Italian etc etc then you spare time to visit this place. You won't regret.

I also felt, on the price side over the years they have been bitten by the capitalism bug and priced their food on the higher side. But once a while, indulgence as well as expense on good food is something which you will make peace with.

The restaurant is one of the best in the city.One can try the local food here especially ...Dalma the specialty of Orissa.The bamboo mutton is a must try for the non veg lovers .

The place is generally full during lunch and inspite of that service is quick.

The ambience is not great but the restaurant is conveniently located .

If you are in Bhuvaneshwar ...do visit this place !

The overall ambience was decent. The service was good.
We had ordered Veg Thaali, Fish Thaali, Chingudi Tarkari, Pomfret Fry and Badi Chura.
The Veg Thaali had a number of preparations in it and it included Kheeri. You would require to order more rice or roti to finish all of it. Most all the preparations were good.
The fish thaali was okay. Didn't really like the fish. It was average.
The Pomfret Fry was good.
But the show stealers were the Chingudi Tarkari and Badi Chura. The Chingudi Tarkari tastes best with rice. Thanks to the Badi Chura we could finish the Veg Thaali.😁
Overall I love Dalma! πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‹ Good for people looking for comfort food.

"Dalma" is a very popular traditional Odia curry, which made with mainly dal & vegetables.

Dal and vegetables are a good combination of vitamins and protein. Dalma prepared in Eastern Odisha and temple , sprinkled with shredded coconut.

Coming to restaurant, the ambience of the restaurant is really good! The dΓ©cor is simplistic

Staffs are very friendly and supportive. They served very quickly. (waiting time may be longer for peak hours)

Food -
I have been living in 5 different states till now. Odia food has its own touch.

We ordered pakhala thali, butter chicken, Chena poda. I loved the taste of pakhala. Pakhala is kind of boiled rice soaked in buttermilk..chickens taste was good not best though.

Chena poda is most try. You will end up liking it.

The biggest problem with this place is that most of the amazing dishes on the menu are never available. They seem to concentrate on the usual meals. While food is good and a refreshing change (especially the pakhala which every tourist should try) from the unhealthy oily usual restaurant affair, it could be a lot better if they serve all the traditional odia food they have mentioned on the menu. It would help people know more about odia cuisine.
Please note that there are a lot of restaurants with the name 'dalma' affixed to them. This one is above Shiraz.

Please your taste buds with the authentic "home made" odiya cuisine. It was my first experience with odiya cuisine and I like to compare it with a typical Wester UP food minus the salt & chilly but added pinch of mustard. Odiya for me is fusion of "South (for ingredients & North (for taste)...!!
Tried the Dalma & mix Bhaja, chakuki and Cheena jhilli...:-)
Server was too polite and humble with traditional ambience

If you ever visit Odisha, then you should try out the cuisine. Their most famous dish is Dalma and that is why this place is aptly named. You should definitely visit this place even if you are not too fond of east indian food made out of mustard oil. The food with all respect is of good quality. The Oriya mutton is a must.

Dalma is always a safe bet when you're confused as to what you want to eat. For me of course, the options are quite limited. I end up always eating the Classic Dalma with either Roti or Rice along with their Green Salad and Fried Papad.

We tried Odia food at this highly rated restaurant in Bhubaneshwar for dinner yesterday. The food was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious!! The Mushroom Curry was outstanding!! This is our first trip to Orissa and we will definitely patronize them before our 3 day visit ends. The restaurant is on the first floor with limited parking up front. One can get parking on side streets. The restaurant was well lighted and the service was friendly and professional. Thanked the manager/kitchen staff on the way out - impressed with the excellent food preparation.
