Punjabi food- especially sarso da saag and makki di roti in winters.. Just wow..... Saag was so good that it felt like cream.... And having it with makki ki roti made it even better...
Kheer is just wow... Where can you have such good kheer at 50Rs only?... The answer is at dhaba@khalsa only.
Parantha and chai is also amazing. Thanks for keeping away extra spices to your dishes.
Obviously I didn't have all this in one visit, but I don't know how many times I have been here... And everytime I go... Its always for special punjabi food.
I have been to @Dhaba @ Khalsa quite a number of times and today I couldn’t stop myself from reviewing a never disappointing North Indian food and one of the authentic punjabi cuisine serving restaurant in the city of joy!
The place may seem dull by looks but is a gem when it comes to good food, all that glitters isn’t gold such is the case same here too:)
Haven’t tried their tandoori chicken in a while will gobble in my next visit!

I have checked in to this place a number of times and this is one of my most favourite dhaba. They serve exquisite lip-smacking delicacies at an extremely thrifty rate. Few of my favourite items are Irani Chicken, Chicken Butter Masala and their Chicken Tikka Kebabs.
Last time I visited this place I ordered:
Chicken Butter Masala - This extremely rich side dish is a power punch of flavours with a bulk of butter at the team. The piece of chicken served is extremely tender and got the right blend of some Indian spices. You'll never stop licking your fingers once you've tasted this authentic delicacy. It is grubbed with Tandoori Roti and the duo is drool worthy.
Fish Tikka Kebab - I got a little disappointed with this appetiser as I had high hopes because their Chicken Tikka Kebabs are one of my favorites. This kebab was a little pale in taste and lacked the right marination before getting shoved into the tandoor. The pieces of fish were small and not worth the price paid.
However, their quality of food is really praiseworthy. They also provides you with a place of sliced cucumber and that is complimentary to your order. The service is good.
delivered before promised time great
We were very hungry and ordered steamed rice,mixed veg and chick tandoori butter masala... Everything was very average in taste... The mixed veg was very normal and nothing special in it. Tandoori butter masala was of smokey flavour Nd not much buttery at all. Everything was very normal not so dhaba type...
A great place. Staffs are very good behavior and their service is also good. Serve delicious food. The quantity of food is really sufficient for anyone.
Hey there :)
The best food at a low budget ordered a chicken butter masala which worth it & it was fab must try with masala kulcha it was well cooked and soft cheese was melted good heavenly smell it tastes dope 💐
Went there
Had paratha, butter chicken and lassi
The paratha and the curry was average
The lassi is simply awful!!!
And the ambience is a 1 star
Don't go here for ambience but for simple food and great price. Nestled in an alley in the super crowded new market area, the looks are unpretentious- dhaba like. We had aloo dum (not that great as it was not dry), bhindi masala (great), paneer kadai (very good) and dal makhni (thick and delicious). We had all this with tandoori rotis and nimbu paani (simple & homely). We finished this up with 'kadak' tea. And for all this we paid around 500 rupees for 3 which was great.
I had a great time here. It was a break from the monotony of airconditioned restaurants. It was like being back to roots. This is a place where the food is the sole hero. I had mutton kasha, keema matar accompanied with tandoori roti and plain roti. The tandoori roti was hard though. Go for it if you want a true highway dhamba experience.
Having Punjabi khana ia treat to my tastebuds always and specially when its khalsa, you get some of the most authentic punjabi dishes. This place is pocket friendly and one can have 'pet bhar ke khana' for two at Rs 300/-.
One suggestion to the management would be a quick renovation of the interiors and the menu would attract more guests since this is located at a place where food traffic is huge on a daily basis.
This was one of the small restaurant I preferred to order while my stay in the city. On a rainy night when I was searching for a veg joint. Someone recommended this joint. At the first sight, I wasn't sure about the quality and service. But they proved me wrong.They offer awesome food at reasonable prices and quantity is also good. My fav was dal,jeera rice and Amritsari chole.
Good place to eat North Indian food if ur in new market and wish to have some food from home. Visited this place after a long time the taste had gone down a bit but it's still good for someone who is longing for some good North Indian Punjabi food. I would request the restaurant owner to just tune the food back as it was earlier to make it great again.
At first look it was not what i expected. But the staff was pleasing with their smiles and menu was good. Food was very good. Just if the ambience gets better it would be an awesome restaurant.
At a first look, you may not think of having a meal here. But don't just go by the looks. The place may not be air conditioned, but it's surely a legendary place. The restaurant is thronged by Indians & foreigners alike. You will get one of the best Punjabi dishes, Lassi, Tea over here. Sometimes it can be hard to find a seat here as the place is located in one of the most popular shopping districts in Kolkata. A visit here is must if you are in the New Market area.
This place is a blessing for non-healthy high calorie Punjabi food lovers looking to dine within reasonable range. They serve i full plate of Tandoori Chicken for 200 rs. The dishes with butter toppings are worth dying for. It is located on the lane which connects New Market with Sudder street. An old-school restaurant/dhaba venture.
their service is very good and is cheap and best and very tasty a nd delicious foods are available over here.it is one of the best hotel in new market and Punjabi dishes are also available over here
Succulent kebabs. Ditch the interiors. They make up for it with the food quality. Awesome naans. And the lassi is heavenly. Try the banana custard pudding as well. Must go.
Situated at the busy lane of New Market this food joint has been there for ages now. A lot of theme dhabas have come into existence in the city these days but this place is a quintessential punjabi eatery with the rustic feel of Punjab. There is nothing good about the ambiance here... it is a typical dhaba type joint where you get amazing punjabi food at a fair price. The kababs are just too good and the taste is going to linger in your mouth for a very very long time. The garlic naan...the chicken tandoori, chicken irani... oh my mouth is watering as i am typing these words :p Try out their chicken bharta and palak paneer for sure. I bet you will not get this taste in the fancy punjabi restaurants anywhere in the city. There is this waiter who has been there forever and as you enter will make you feel so comfortable that you will not be able to leave without ordering. Overall it is the place for foodies and not people who are looking for some good decor and ambiance.
It's more of a dhaba..a punjabi dhaba that does not compromise in its food quality. Its a bit congested but the food you will get is simply awesome and the best part is, its pocket friendly.

Two extremely drenched dames entered Khalsa Restaurant around 7.20 pm in the evening and wanted some damn food. The waiter came, smiled, gave them menu cards, and left. They ordered the following - french toast, reshmi kabab, lachha paratha, aloo paratha, chana masala.
Man went away.
Two moderately drenched dames came slightly late, and they sat down and ordered the following - chicken irani, tandoori roti, aloo paratha, anda paratha, reshmi kabab, coffee, tea, liquor tea, and hot chocolate. Oh, and two bottles of water.
And also a banana custard pudding, which one of those dames, who is a very bad influence on humankind, proceeded to apply all over her aloo paratha, and commenced eating, to the utter shock of this poor writer, who is still reeling from the shock of it all!
The aloo paratha. Was. Divine.
So was the Chana masala.
The Reshmi kabab was average.
The tea and coffee were both very good - hot, sweet, slightly bitter in the case of coffee.
The bill came for 1007 rupees.
The four dames were very very very very satisfied.
Half marks were deducted for the underwhelming egg paratha. Otherwise, life was a good place to be.

Khalsa Restaurant is probably one of the oldest Punjabi restaurants in the New Market Area if not the city and definitely one of the best.
So imagine my surprise when I did not find it listed in Zomato ! I requested Zomato to add the restaurant and they did it immediately.
It is a tiny restaurant on Madge Street connecting New Market with Sudder Street and serves authentic home-style cooked Punjabi Food. They also see a heavy footfall of foreigners and so also have things like Peanut Butter Sandwich on their menu, which I have never tried. The restaurant is small and not very high end but it is spanking clean. Even I, do not mind drinking their normal water. There is one waiter who is omnipresent and always smiling. The restaurant owners I believe, double up as cooks as well.
Their food is brilliant in general but I want to talk about the lunch we had their last Saturday specifically.
This is what we ordered initially amongst the three of us.
================================
1. Mutton Rice : 1 plate
2.Mutton Kasha :1 plate
3. Chicken Rashmi Kebab : 2 plates
4. Chicken Tandoori (Full) : 1 plate
5. Irani Chicken : 1 plate
6. Matar Keema : 1 plate
7. Tandoori Roti : 4
The server came and told us that they were out of Keema Matar so we replaced that with Chicken Bharta and ordered an extra plate of Kalmi Chicken because SB thought it sounded nice. Later just for savouring the gravy of the Mutton Kasha SB and PB2 ordered white rice.
I heart the food they serve. It tastes brilliant and it is light and non- greasy.
Let me start with the Reshmi Kebabs. They are soft and succulent and buttery and just melts inside your mouth. The Tandoori Chicken here should be a benchmark of the Tandoori chickens made across the city. They are charred to the right amount and the chicken itself stays juicy and soft. The Chicken Bharta with the shredded piece of chicken in this super delicious gravy has light and finger-licking good. The Irani Chicken comes in a red gravy which again is amazing. The Kalmi chicken comes in a garlicky white sauce which is to die for. The best part is the poultry itself is fresh. The Mutton dishes (which I did not taste) was proclaimed to be the best both KB and PB2 had in the longest time. I also love the Tandoori Rotis here which are made of Atta and not Maida and is a perfect accompaniment to all the dishes.
I keep on coming back here and plan to come back here for the longest time.
And the best part with all the above dishes and three Masala Thumbs Up our bill was 900 bucks.
Situated in a prime location, its a pocket friendly punjabi food joint, although they serve chinese items as well. We had cheese omelette, Makke di roti , Sarso da saag , chicken tikka kadai, lassi, kheer and cake custard. The roti and the saag was awesome. Chicken tikka kadai was good enough too. Lassi is as good as you would expect from a punjabi dhaba. Must try item is cake custard it was yummy. Not a very hygienic place but still it has its own charm. Surely visit for the makke di roti ,that saag and the cake custard.
Authentic desi punjabi food with good prices.
Home like punjabi food with dhaba taste.
A wonderful place for having veg items. But their price is higher than the nearest other restaurants. But, I strongly recommend this restaurant for at least one time.
Taste of proper Punjabi food. The flavour from the masala used seems to be just like what you get at Amritsar local joints. Happy to see that flavour has not altered. Some of the Roti variety is very unique… worth a shot!
Had a very great experience each and every time I visited this place. The quality of the food served is absolutely finger-licking. Would definitely recommend this place to all my acquaintances. The price offered is also reasonable.
This is just a Hidden Gem in New Market area.
From outside it never looks appealing so I never entered.
But on 3rd Dec 2022 I went to this old restaurant...
Its a pure Punjabi Restaurant....even more punjabi people are there..
Food price are less but no compromise in quality or quantity...
Polite behaviour and fast service...
For take away i ordered tandoori roti..and plain kulcha but later on i saw its huge and soft tandoori roti..only rs 10...
And i took punjabi chicken masala half..means 4 pc 250 rs...that was sooooo awesome...
Full plate is rs 400...
Even when i was waiting for food that small lassi at rs 35....though their small glass looks huge for me....
Even I had their EGG COMBO MEAL THALI on 12th Dec 2022
So if anybody is looking for good and reasonable punjabi food ...must visit this place...
Location opp of Treasure island/ac market and beside Globe...
The place to eat in Kolkata if you want authenticity ,cleanliness , great service help and advice with levels of spice and delicious fresh food. And the Kheer. ( rice pudding) is extraordinary. We were welcomed and looked after and we left the restaurant on both occasions we visited full and happy
They serve very tasty Punjabi foods and the price of the items are quite pocket friendly. I didn't like the chicken thali that much but their different types of rotis, Irani chicken, and dum aloo was too good. Must visit if you are in Esplanade.
Awesome place for Desi food lovers.
Authentic Punjabi Restaurant. Makki di roti and sarso da sag is the best item I have ever eaten. You will love the doodh chai. Morning and Evening snacks like omelette, butter toasts are available all the time. Must try is the veg & non veg thali. You will get special winter food. Try daal & butter tawa roti anytime. Located in a crowded place. Car parking is nearby but tough to find a place. Bike parking is easy.
Very cozy place with good food and best masala chai. very polite and gentle people working there. ate 2/2 of our dinners in Kolkata there.
VERY GOOD DHABA LIKE FOOD GOOD TASTE, BUDGET FRIENDLY HOTEL . SINGLE OR WITH FAMILY VISIT HERE AND TAKE THE TASTE LIKE HOME. GOOD BEHAVE GOOD TATSE👌
Quality food in pocket friendly price. It is my go to place whenever I want economical, healthy and quality food.
I had ordered makai ka roti and sarso ka sag (both of which are the most famous items of the Dhaba) along with paneer vegetable, which too was delicious. The fact that the food had minimum amount of oil is what I loved the most.
Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fulfilling lunch after being spent on shopping in New Market.
Absolutely love this place and the owner, Amrit. He’s a timeless-wise- compassionate-intelligent man. Along with being an angel; he always has a newspaper to read and the best food and chai / lassi to eat and drink with it.
Kolkata did not feel complete without walking into Khalsa’s world;-) I’ve been coming here for over 13 years now✌️
No fuss above average north Indian food. Served fast and served hot at economical prices
It a Punjabi owned restaurant and it has decent options with affordable price.
I have visited it quite a couple times and have tried many things from their menu.
Must Try - Saag , Kulcha.
They Serve hot and tasty food. If you want budget friendly lite food point then this might be your best choice.
One more thing, I like to share that the Sardarji who manage the cash counter, he calculated the bill price on slet by a chowk. I really liked it.
Way to Kolkata bengali Vlog

Khalsa Restaurant is a very good restaurants for middle class family. Food is good . Non AC. Clean is okay but not good.
