The food was somewhat good and we enjoyed a lot. We went in groups of 5 or 6 people, and the food quality was good. Will hope to visit again after quarantine

Visited this place few days back. This place is worth trying. In this weather I don't think you'd find anything better than this one.
I've tried their,
Thandai : loaded with pista, this is one of the best drink that I've tried from here. Recommended.
Lassi : The lassi was pretty much average. I didn't find anything special about the lassi. So if you're really craving for lassi, you can give it a try. Otherwise I'd recommend you to try out their thandai.
Kulfi : Loved it. Kulfi served with faloofa and rooafza on the top, is the second thing from this shop that I'd recommend.
A great place. The prices were really moderate. Loved it. Definitely gonna try again if I visit theatre road. Happy eating.

Just yesterday after walking for a long time,tried lassi here. Lassi was served in clay glass or 'Bhanr' and size of it was big. It was refreshing, curd was fresh and sweetness was well balanced and it was not thick.
The experience was a delight
I loved the new exotic flavours of spring potato they offer at a very less pocket pinch over their competitors, apart from the famous shikanji and sandwiches..
The best place to satiate your thrust.
I have going here for years.
This is my go to place for those late night cravings .
You get kulfi just opposite to this shibuji.
I personally love the soda shikanji and masala thumsup
This time around ordered the orange soda and masala thumsup. The orange soda was light and masala thumsup strong in taste. Both of them were equally good.
The price range varies from Rs. 40 - Rs. 60/-
It is the best soda shop ...kaala khatta and soda masala was really very good....and the price of the soda is cheap ..the place is cheap n best

Located in Shakespeare Sarani.This place is one of the famous Street food joints in Kolkata.
What I Had
•Cream Onion Spring Potato (Strongly Recommended)
It was quite crispy and tasted really good. It is the perfect snack on the move.Moreover, the pricing of the spring Potato is perfect.
One of my favourite hangouts. They sell pure veg food. The Pav Bhaji, Grilled Sandwiches, Lassis and Shakes are really affordable and delicious!
Best Place for Sandwiches and Soda Sikanji. 1st Shop in Kolkata to sell Spring Potato. Kolkata's Best Pan is sold here in Shibuji. Also Get amazing Koolfi here.
Price is a bit on higher side but their kulfi and malai drinks are just to die for. Located at the right side on Shakesphere Sarani after Axis Bank circle office. Place is quite easy to locate. No sitting arrangement.
A perfect place to quench your thirst, especially in the hot and humid weather of Kolkata. The USP of this place is that it is open till late at night, we reached this place well past midnight and still there were crowds here. We had soda shikanji, masala Thums Up and Sprite masala. It was made perfectly with a tangy/ sweet combo in correct proportions.The secret of the success of their drinks lies in the correct proportions of masala being used., they have perfected the skill. I also love that they serve in earthen glasses, adding to the flavour of the drink.
Well, i come to this joint for having only Masala Thums Up...... Value for money and worth every penny spent..... You might have to wait a bit for their person to come to you for taking your order.... Overall worth giving a try......
Shibuji is a roadside joint which mainly sells sodas, kulfi etc.
It's located at the crossing of Theatre road & Camac street.
Service is quick.
Tried Soda Sikanji & Badam kulfi. Both were very nice & refreshing. A thing not to miss.
Pocket pinch is low too.
This is a road side type of joint selling moctails and kulfi. The best is sprite sikanji and kulfi. I liked the sikanji and the price is reasonable.
Located at the crossing of Theatre road and camac street, this is a favourite go-to place for kulfi and soda shikanjo after lunch and dinner!
After having really good street food, i was parched, craving for a good drink, nd then as always we went to this very famous joint Shibuji, which is located in theatre road, it's very easy and convenient to navigate. This days they even participate in all famous food events.
Not only drinks you'll even find vendors selling chana chips. There are few stalls even nearby, selling bhel n all.
They don't have a sitting arrangement but they do take orders from ur car only, n even its really gud place to visit and enjoy your favorite drinks. Masala thums up to soda sikanji, ice cream soda, khass, gulsb sarbat and the list goes on. They have a lot of options.
And menu doesn't ends here they have amazing flavours of kulfi even creamy texture with perfect blend of the flavours, orange, chiku, sitafal, chocolate, keshar pista, n mny more.!!.. .. .
What to say about a place that I have been visiting for the past 25 years...been going there from the time the original owner used to sit...very friendly as I know everyone there...good place to go and have paan and the street side chatta...Their masala thumps up is really good...
Shikanji, Masala Thums Up, Ice cream soda - this place has a lot of options to counter the hot and humid Kolkata weather.
My go to place for thirst quenchers, my office being located in the opposite building :)

Shibuji's a famous name doing the rounds in the thirst quenching section! These days they participate in all the famous food events! I enjoy their pan and kulfis! Priced good for the items offered!
This place has become a hub. Always famous for its thandai this place has excellent service. Famous for its PAN and nearby kulfis. Can also get ice cream soda here which is now a days rare in Kolkata.

A great place for a perfect thirst buster. Mostly known for their awesome drinks they serve to all those thirsty people looking for something nice. Located at the Shakespeare Sarani very famous out here. A little talk with Mr. Mukesh who made the drink for me and got to know more about this place.
Tried their Soda Sikanji, served in a nice glass which was very refreshing. Thou i guess 30 bucks for such a small glass is not justified to me.
Perfect place to quench your thirst after a proper dinner or drink late in the night. The soda sikanji here is a must try. Open till about 1 AM in the night. And the bonus is that you can also try some of the best kulfi's in Kolkata right opposite the outlet late in the night. Just visit!
Drop by this place for the most delicious sherbets and soda shikanji's to quench your thirst in this sultry weather. It won't disappoint you at all!
One could easily find lots of juice and sherbet outlets in Kolkata. I visited Shibuji, which is a famous corner in the heart of Kolkata known for Soda Shikanji. Shikanji or lemonade is a quintessential thirst quencher which is basically a Sweet, Tangy and Spicy drink prepared with the combination of masala, lemon and green chillies laced with Soda. This beverage was just what I needed to get refreshed and so thirst quenching :) I had a Lassi then. It was pretty good too. They did serve me the drink really fast despite the crowd.
You can definitely try this place out. You wouldn’t be disappointed :)
Wanna get refreshed after a long days of work or feeling to tried due to the humidity?? Your in luck if you found this place.
The beverage is just what you need to get refreshed. And the kulfi on to their shop and on the other foot on the road is what adds a cheery to the icing I would say. Yummy :P
It's a great place if u love having sikanji in different flavours and paan as they give the best paan in the city. I have always loved their masala sikanji, meetha paan and Masala thums-up . You can have them always either on a hot sunny weather or while you are on a drive at night after dinner, its always so soothing.
If you are fan of soda sikanji and in Kolkata, make sure to visit Shibuji for a glass or two of sikanji. I have tried all the flavours of their shikanjis and masala thumpsup which were fantastic.
Shibuji.The name itself does not describe the atmosphere.Here is the shop selling awesome shikanji which is refreshing and tangy,as well the after dinner pan,but also has the most amazing koolfis in natural flavours like sitafal,mango etc on the opposite pavement.Also all kinds of snacks being peddled by your friendly salesmen in cars.Shibuji is more of a macro system which you imbibe pre or post dinner.Magnificent!!!!!!
Having heard of this place alot, I happened to spot it on Shakespeare Sarani next to Gupta's when out on an evenin drive. Though the intention was to have a meetha pan, I couldn't resist from ordering a soda shikanji. A perfect quencher for the Kolkata heat, its a must have. I particularly liked them serving in the kulhad so the feel of it. The meetha pan was also one that I relished after a long long time. A must visit for me to try out their other shikanjis and golas!
With such hot & humid weather outside , having cool sharbats are the best way to beat to scorching heat ! So , we dropped off at this outlet of Shibuji today .
Ordered Soda Shikanji , followed by Ice Cream Rose Soda . Both we equally good to taste . If you are around , you can definitely try it out once :)

Fast and Handy KOOOOL Sharbat is all that you want amidst this scorching sun..Tried Soda Sikanji and ice cream Soda rose ..both quenched my thirst and my heart too which kept me going in this sun too.
The soda shikanji is just awesome.. Be it on a soaring sun's hot afternoon or a late night drive, Shibuji is a nice place for a rating of five.. ;)
Must visit. Late night kulfies a must try, especially the frozen kulfi inside an orange. Masala sodas, shikanjis, paawbhajis. You can't really go much wrong with Shibuji!
It is located on the Theatre Road.I've visited there few months ago with my friend.You'll get here varities type of Shikanji,masala thums up,masala soda etc.we ordered here Sprite Shikanji,Limca Shikanji.Both are very good taste.Service is quick.They have another outlet at Camac Street area.Price is moderate.
This is the place where i had the most no. of masala thumps up or soda sikanji or limca sikanji etc..
I use to pass by this shop while returning from my tutions and i couldn't resist masala thumps up...
Once i brought pan for my family from Shibuji and since then it is mandatory to bring pan home on alternative days of my tutions..
A nice place to chill out..
Do try out masala thumps up..
Perfect adda for soda Shikanji Masala thumsup kulfi chilla. But the people are chaotic and really irritating, they jump and surround the car like monkeys and start shouting.
Location: Shakespeare Sarani, Theatre Road.
Aah, this place has been a part of a lot of memories.
This is a place where I used to hit to just for a Soda Sikanji, Masala Thumbs up, Pudina Masala or Limca Sikanji and the pans along with my family after dinners.
These taste great and flushing down the dinner with the help of these make a perfect end to your meal.
Nostalgia.
One can't just miss this place!
Visualy Shibuji is just lik any other cheap street food joint.bt economically it is no less in comparison to CCDs.Exactly beside d main entrance of vardan market n very much crowded.we tried kesar-badam thandai n badam-lassi.ech small cup costs 50rs.while haf f d cup contained only ice.still "alls well dat tastes well ;)" n it tasted gud.d que f people eating sandwiches frm there encouraged us to explore dis aswell. n our vegetable cheese-paneer grilled sandwich for 80rs was quite heavy n stuffed wd lots f cheese n mayonnaise satisfied us pretty much :).
A trip to Vardaan is really incomplete without treating your parched throat to one of the many Shikanjis from Shibuji. I love their Limca Shikanji, Masala Thumps Up,Kesar Thandai and Kala Khatta Gola to go with the lip-smacking Pao Bhaji .
Visited this place after 2015 - some 8 long years and to be very honest the sandwiches tasted equally authentic and amazing .
We had one corn cheese sandwich - served with the homemade potato chips and sauces .
The sandwich is too big for one person if you are not very hungry .
It has only take away or stand and eat option , no option to sit or dine in .

They have some amazing refreshing soda’s available. There is street food opposite to this place which has some amazing papdi chaat, ghughni, childa, kulfi etc.
Highly recommended to keep the place hygienic neat and tidy outside of their respective stalls and put dustbins along so that the garbage is not littered all over. Spitting right before the stall by the hawker owners themselves shall be completely not allowed and fined. Littering shall be strictly prohibited especially in such food zones and shall improve hygiene
The shikanji was out of the world
We also had seethaphal flovored ice cream and Kesar kulfi which were brilliant
Typical to the Kolkata culture, there was a guy from the shop who ran to us, standard 2 hours ensured that the orders were served quickly while we were still in the car
If you are in Kolkata you absolutely should be here otherwise you will miss something in life,small pleasures that bring great happiness
Nowadays, people use dispensers for soda. Classic soda sellers, with their fascinating movement of hands, are hard to be found. Luckily I found Shibuji Soda Shikanji at the corner. Or else my Kolkata trip would be incomplete. Tried four different flavors from them. All of them were great!
Great place for night outs, and Lovely snacks available. Try out the potato twister and also the chilla on the opposite side!
Famous for its gundi paan and masala thumsup,open till midnight and later on weekends.Chaats,kulfi,moodi etc street food are all available on opposite footpath.
Excellent Paan Shop ! This is among very few paan shops which never sells cigarette. They have got amazing variety of Paans. During Holi festival they serve amazing Thandai with or without bhaang...a must try.
They also serve soda sikanji, thums up soda , khus sofa , Rose soda and many other amazing cold drink concotions.
A popular night snacks spot in Kolkata where you get Street food items like bhel, kulfi, soda shikanjee.
It remains one of the favorite joints for Kolkatans and travellers in Kolkata. Excellent food and variety of drinks and Kulfi is amazing.
A good name in serving Soda Sikanji & various soda drinks at night.
In nearby shops you'll get Kulfi, Chilla as well.
Good place for a late night time pass, if u like having chilla, coolfi, chat n all, khus sharbat is my favourite
Crazy for meetha paan or chilled shikanji n shakes after dinner? This is the right place in midst of park street.
Me and my friends visit them almost every day after having dinner by 11-11:30.
Love their soda sikanji and spring potato. Would recommend trying kulfi from the vendor located just opposite their shop. Sitafal kulfi is my favorite
Not a very friendly store. The swagat for the customers is very cold just like their drinks. The drinks are ok and will not rate them excellent. We tried them thinking they are Kolkata's one of the best but was disappointed with the quality and taste, though there is a scope for improvement.
Very old n Famous place on Theater road. Best known for the veriety of Shikanji, Sharbat n pan. You also get great Kulfi of different flavours and good Chilla.
Excellent Sikanji shop. Must visit for those looking for Mouth watering Sikanji and it serves different varieties as well.
Varieties of drinks available, but bit expensive compare to the price
Orange kulfi is a must try.
