This place is known to serve some amazing and authentic burmese cuisines. So if you love experimenting with new cuisines definately visit this place. I have visited this few months ago as a friend recommended to me.The place is a bit small but the ambience and the taste of the foods over here will melt your heart. Special recommendation ong no khalikswey
Traditional Burmese restaurant.Lives up to it's name.Recommended by Aparajita Ganguli . A great place for people who love experimenting when it comes to food.Main menu item is the authentic Ong No Khaukswey,a traditional dish of noodles in chicken broth.
Recommendations: Khaukswey,Hto Boo Gyaw,Khao pyin.
A small shack with dim lighting and nice and light decor..
Their most recommended ong no khaukswey was worth giving a try..It is a make your own noodle kind of which comes with a chicken and coconut broth and some toppings which you can add as per your choice..
Also tried their dessert khao pyin,a traditional Burmese dish..
Really it's worth a shot..
Everyone should try this place atleast once..
Very good khao shwey they make, totally worth a visit. The ambience is also worth a mention, located in the golpark area adding to the decour of the place.
Chanda's Khaukswey had been on my list for a long time, food was perfect to the core, lovely ambience and cordial staff, definitely bookmarked to visit again.
A lovely and a friendly place.Staff were also polite and hence i will recommend this place for my friends and family members.From the starters to main course it was just awesome.Even the desert was too good.
This restaurant is located at Golpark in the lane where the South City College is situated. It serves Myanmarese cuisine which is a bit different and unique, but it did not taste bad. Food quality and quantity is good and prices are also reasonable. The restaurant however is very small and can hardly accomodate more than 10 people at a go. Overall a decent experience with the cuisine which i tried for the very first time.

A Burmese joint situated near Golpark area - opposite to Mitra Cafe. Went to this place on a weekday evening for light dinner. Ordered chilli pork and fried shrimp cake in the starter which tasted good. For parcel, I packed the Khauskwey and red pork curry. The red pork curry served with steamed rice just tasted out of the world and would like to visit again to try the same.
Rates are on higher side and the hospitality and behaviour of the staffs met my expectation.
Appreciate the owner of the eatery - Chanda Dutta for her precious time in explaining me about the each cuisine as i was new to the place.
It's one of a kind place that surely matches up to the expectations of any food explorer. The small, cozy ambience with dim lighting and soft classic music playing in the background is a perfect way to sit back and enjoy a good meal. The signature dish of Khauksey was a fresh relief to the taste buds. The condiments served with the dish added the desired flavor as per one's taste. The chicken wings was equally good and lip smacking. The staff were courteous as well. Anyone ready to dig in the flavours of Burma must visit this place that successfully maintained the authenticity of its cuisine and that too in affordable price. Next time, I will definitely gorge on the pork items as suggested by many. Overall, it was a good experience to satisfy the appetite for different food.

Before starting with my own experience, I was going through the previous reviews and many of them made negative remarks against the dish Khaukswey. Well, khawkswey is a lovely dish really. And healthy too. It consists of noodles, boiled eggs, some dried shrimps, some green leaves, fried onions and garlics in the base of coconut milk. It initially tasted bland, like the Chow Mein in authentic Chinese restaurants, but you need to enhance its taste according to your likings with ingredients such as chilli flakes, chilli oil and chilli paste - all of which are available on the table, and if not available, you can always ask the maitre de table for the same.
For me, consuming khaukswey is like being in heaven.
This outlet is small, true. I have been here previously when this premise held Bindaas Cafe and later on Mango People, so being a bit experienced, I did not face any problem.
This small but comfortable and tastefully decorated outlet under the watchful eye of the proprietress herself was a bliss. Of course I had khaukswey, and I loved it. My feelings cannot be elaborated in words, it has to be felt. I also took pork ribs which were juicy and very tasty. Price was pocket friendly, parking no problem, and the staff good, and the proprietress herself is the greatest hostess I have met.
Small place. Nice ambience. The kitchen is across your table and you can see what’s cooking.
We had gourd tempura fritters and chilli pork as starters, and both were excellent. For the main course we had the traditional khauwswey. The broth had the right consistency and the noodle boiled to perfection. The sides were generously spread out, and you could ask for a second helping. If you mix it right, you’ll have a delicious meal.
The music was soft and retro and the decor had a muted quality about it.
Authentic and niche, Kolkata was waiting for such a place!
First time tried burmese cuisine love it to much...
Very cozy place . We have khaukswey and pork curry rice awesome food . I felt love to the whole things..
The stuff behavior so good they suggested us very well.
I recommend this place ...
A very decent place with perfect burmesse foods.
The foods tastes good and the service was also good.
ONG NO KHAUKSWEY and PORK RIBS are a must try..
I will visit again everytime I come to kolkata

A slice of Myanmar in the narrow lanes of Golpark. The oriental decor, the cosy ambience and heavenly delicacies are the reasons, why this restaurant is a repeated affair among foodies. I had this deep stuffed balachung (shrimp cakes) and the renowned khaukshaw. The peaceful culinary affair accompanied with excellent service has made me a loyalist of this place.
This one is for the pork and the music.
So when you come for the 1st time have khaukswey
And then you have to come back again because you missed the pork curry rice last time.
And then you would be writing a review like me.
Mouth watering food! Went there on a Saturday evening. Small but very cosy place. Tried chilli pork and Khaukswey, fantastic !!
Must try for all the foodies.
Great food, Taste is just awesome for the pork and rice dish. Ambiance is very good. However, the price is definitely on higher side. Space is also what the authorities need to watch out.
This is a very warm and friendly Burmese joint situated near Golpark. My daughter and I dined here on Astumi night and we both were surprised to see that there were no flocking of people here and luckily we were the only customers....we ordered Wet Tha Si Biyan. Instead of pork, the preparation was done with chicken as per our request. The chicken was very nice and tender and so was the hospitality and behaviour of the staffs...overall, it was an awesome experience. Would definitely visit again and would recommend to all....
Really a wonderful place.small but really cozy with really beautiful interior decoration near golpark beside noni .today for the very first time i and my husband tried the burmese cuisine.we ordered wong no khaukswey which was the main dish.it was basically a soup with noodles and chicken cooked in coconut milk.the taste was awesome so subtle.for the dessert we ordered a khao pyne which as per my taste buds was basically payesh as this dish comprised of sticky rice in coconut milk.simply awesome dish .the sweetness didnot overpowered the dish.last but not least we had the honour of meeting Mrs Chanda Dutta wife of Anjan Dutta.she is a very sweet lady.so to all foodlovers who want to try some different cuisine this resturant is a must try out and prices are also very affordable
Great food - the shrimp cakes, gourd fritters, pork curry and khauswey were all delicious! The ingredients were of excellent quality. Lovely meeting the hostess, who very generously shared about Burmese cuisine! Will be coming back.
Great food, quiet ambience & courteous staff.... Definitely visiting again !
P.s. wish the pork was not that fatty ..... there's hardly any meat :(
A place with a limited menu.. But all are mouth watering. Who knows what khaukswey is.. Will love to hv because u don't get it any where else... Shrimp preparation are nice.. Also the pork main course which gives you a very homely feel when it is served with rice. A bit conjested because if the place.. But you get to see a awesome view when you get the road side table. And I HD a experience of watching rain through the glass by my table..over my meal.. With warm rice n pork :)

Chanda's Khaukswey is a gem of an eating house . I say that inspite of not being a Burmese food expert . But being a food enthusiast , I have gone through numerous videos in YouTube and i can somewhat concur that food served here is intended to not just focus on the ingredients but also the flavors that come from them . And that is the reason why I believe this will not fit right on everybody's plate . Coming here either you have to be a little bit familiar about at least what's Khaukswey is all about or you really have to be a food adventurer who likes to play with flavors . I am kind of both so i loved my experience here but those who are looking for just another weekend lunch which mainly constitutes mughlai , continental and Indo Chinese then please think twice before visiting .
° Location :- This restaurant is located at the lane between the famed mouchak and the lane that houses Santa's Fantasea at Golpark . The outlet is close to the front of the lane so you will be able to see it once you reach there .
° Ambience & Service ( 4 / 5 ) :- It was empty on a Sunday lunch time so I really don't know when it actually gets the real crowd . So I believe the joint will be devoid of much noise . Pretty neat furniture is maintained and the cutlery is proper too . The washroom is adjacent to the restaurant and that is the only downside since it will not look good in the eye but still manageable . The staff is polite , well versed with ever that is served and is pretty approachable all the time for suggestions . The serving time is just a little less than 10 minutes which is quite acceptable .
--------------------------------------
° FOOD :- Firstly the menu is not updated in the Zomato so you will see one or 2 new items in the restaurant . The joint also encourages a separate " today's special " menu with interesting items like spicy wings or the drier version of Khaukswey or a noodle dish . I was on the look out of tasting the original items from the menu so we ordered :-
1. Spare ribs ( 4 / 5 ) :- I have had pork ribs from quite a few outlets in the city where all of them have dissapointed me . None of them had enough meat or was juice . Mostly a hard layer of fat which will give your jaw a hard time . The ribs from here are some improvement . There is tender meat ( still could have been more ) on the bones perfectly grilled in sticky sweet sauce . Pork meat normally goes well with sweet flavors and this compliments it well . But the ribs are a served with their special chili sauce which makes the ribs classy . The sauce is really hot and spicy and provides a superb dip for the ribs . Still not the best pork ribs dish but quite an improvement than what is served at other outlets .
2. Ong No Khaukswey ( 4 / 5 ) :- Certainly a bowl of happiness as it brightened my day . Khow Suey is a noodle based dish which mainly consists of mildly rich broth based on coconut milk . The sauce is made from ginger , garlic shallots with coconut milk added at the end just before simmering the liquid over heat . The broth also consists of small chicken pieces which were cooked together while making the sauce . And egg noodles is the main ingredient here from the noodle point of view . The last time I had a khow suey , I found the broth rich in coconut milk and sour like a sambal . This however is mild and the coconut milk is not overpowering .But khow suey is incomplete without it's condiments . The condiments include crispy fried shallots , boiled egg , some fried seeds , green onions , lime and most importantly chili garlic oil . The broth itself is mild in flavor but what enhances the dish are the condiments . The fried shallots , lime , egg and most importantly the chilli garlic oil simply elevates the noodle dish to a whole new level . Be generous will the chilli garlic oil as that is simply lipsmackingly good . If you are someone who has genuine interest in flavors then you should not miss this .
3. Wet Tha Si Biyan ( 4 / 5 ) :- This time you will be a little bit familiar with the flavors . This is touted as the red and gold pork curry but I will say this is similar to the oily and rich version of Bengali mutton Curry. 4 pieces of pork is superbly cooked with a lot of ginger , garlic and onions . It's a rich gravy and goes really well with the steamed rice . As you tear down the meat with the spoon and have a bit you will.acrually be confused whether it is pork or mutton . The meat is tender and awesomely good . Along with the curry and rice you will be served with a veg of sauted veggies . These are basically sauted bok choy in sesame seeds . Bok choy us generally a tad bitter so you may not like it . I love veggies with meat so I enjoyed the bok choy along with the rice and meat . Rich but really flavorful and since the quantity is not that huge you will hardly feel the oilyness . I loved this dish and have heard that this is a crowd favorite . Those who have not tried it yet can definitely go for it .
---------------------------------------
° VERDICT :- My verdict is that this restaurant is a gem . And I mean it , specially for those who give attention to every detail in the ingredients . Whether it is the fried shallots or the squeezing of like . You will get a chance to add the condiments to your Khaukswey and make it heavenly . What more can a foodie as for ? I have seen noodle dishes being prepared expertly in Asian region from YouTube so many times and have always wondered about when we will have a proper noodle serving joint in our city . Although this restaurant do not fully specify in that category but it is somewhat close enough . If you play with flavour then this is the place you must visit atleast once .
I know that Chanda dutt is a serious foodie so when i think now about her idea of opening a burmese restaurant in this city, I kind of get the feeling that she is asking us to let our tastebuds explore all the possibilities . And you must because I believe you will be delighted .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Awesome Khauk Swe. If you know how to eat a Khauk Swe. Service is very fast. Food is fresh. But they have limited supplies! It's better to visit them for a lunch/brunch so that you get the best quality of food. Only drawback is the handwash which is outside the restaurant. So after our lunch we had to go outside to wash our hands.
We ordered the Red and Golden Curry with White Rice, A Khauk Swe and a starter. My friend Debashish Dey - Petukbangali.com a great foodie suggested this restaurant and its well worth the time and money.
Loved the overall ambience of the place, which was livened up by some Burmese guests at the next table. The pork ribs alongwith the dip was awesome, and khaukswey was filling with a subtle taste of its own. Had enough appetite to try out Chicken Tha Si Byan, akin to the Bengali mangsho bhaat, but with sprouts and fresh herbs. But the real enriching experience was discussing about Burmese, Tibetan and Naga cuisine alongwith the owner and the Burmese guests. One request is if they could add Mohinga to the menu. Definitely coming again to discuss more about food while savoring it . Had a great time with Bidisha Choudhury 😇

Let me confess first, I am not a burmese food champion and definitely not someone who is extremely familiar with the cuisine. So, I won;t be able to talk about the authenticity here and rather will talk about the taste and overall experience here. Frankly, this is a small joint just beside golpark and pretty easy to locate. The interior is done tastefully with the dish of the day/ week is shown clearly. We took the help of waiters while ordering and frankly, they seemed to know their food and what to suggest. On his suggestion, we ordered for Balachung (deep fried shrimp balls) and Hto Boo Thoke (tofu salad). Both were great- thought the salad was of slightly unusual , but the taste was great. For main course, it was the famed Khauksway (simple yet brilliant) and Wet Thi Sa Biyan (best of the lot). This was basically rice with golden pork curry (just like the mild Pork jhol with 4 pork cubes floating in it) and the salad served with it. All the dishes that were served, had pretty good portion sizes and can easily be divided in between 2 persons. For dessert, Khao Pyin- a slightly unusual dessert with red sticky rice and coconut.
All the food items were good and having good portion size. Overall, nice experience.
I wanted to visit this place ever since it has opened and finally made it yesterday. And I am sure I am going back! The place is easy to locate and though quite small, has a cosy feel to it. We tried pork ribs for starters. On the day's special was a tea leaf salad, which quite intrigued us and we decided to give it a shot. And I think it should be on the menu! It is very differrent from anything I have had before and needless to say tasty. It also has a few textures, slighlty chewy, crunchy (the very thought of it while writing about it makes me salivate!). For mains had Si Chet khaukswey, which is khaukswey minus the coconut milk. We liked this too. For dessert we had khao pyin, which is nothing but red sticky rice with coconut and jaggery. Reminded me a bit of our good old pithe! This slightly chewy dessert was also wonderful! A meal, which made us so happy that we forgot to click pictures of the food!

Easy to locate ( near golpark, in the alley where NNONI outlet is located), Chanda's Khaukswey is a small eatery (with a serious space crunch as the tables are really small, however, it's decor is pretty cool, with a red umbrella hanging from the ceiling, an LED tv up on the wall and 4 tables to serve its customers) with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was very friendly, very patiently answering all our queries about the Burmese cuisine, and attending to all our needs.
We tried the spare ribs which had a fair bit of sweetness, which wasn't to our liking, however, it tasted better with the spicy sauce.
Next we tried the signature dish- chicken khawksuey- noodles, in a coconut milk and chicken soupy broth with coriander, lime, boiled egg, fried onions,garlic, tiny chicken pieces. This dish was certainly a revelation. It was unlike anything else I've ever tried before and it was DELICIOUS!
Finally we went for the rice, chicken curry and sauted vege dish. The curry was similar to a bengali chicken curry but still had a unique taste. We also had the fresh lime soda.
All this added upto about 1180.
Overall, it was a good experience. My only source of dissatisfaction was the quantity with respect to the chicken curry dish. Keeping in mind the price, the quantity can be increased further. But if you are bored of eating Chinese, continental, thai and Mughlai, it's time for you to give the Burmese cuisine a try. It'll be a nice change from the mundane.
Amazing food. Worth it every bit.
The food was simply enchanting..😍😍 loved it.
To add to it lovely collection of old songs which is just perfect for a family evening..
Just like my home... Hkaoswe, Hkao nio, Hkao pyin, Nga pyin Chet and tea leaves salad.. 😋 very very delicious. I would like to bring all my friends who have never tasted sticky rice and tea leaves salad... Even I was so surprised in my first visit... Thank you Auntie Chanda for opening up this restaurant in Kolkata.
We had a delightful evening at 'chanda's Khaukswey last night. I had been to Myanmar on a business trip a few months ago and liked their food there.
Here in Kolkata my friend told me about this cosy joint serving only authentic Burmese food.
I could not hold myself back.We loved the ong-no-khaukswey, noodles in coconut chicken thick spicy soup.
That dish reminded me of the food I had tasted in Yangon. I shall come back again very soon. For starter's I even ordered for la-phet those;(tea leaf salad). Love every spoonful.
Please friend's if you have to taste authentic Burmese food this is the place.
My wife will have the red and gold pork curry on our next visit.....

I had bookmarked this place a year ago. But sadly none of my family members or Friends were courageous enough to try out a completely different cuisine and that too at a restro which does not serve any other cuisine. Today I somehow managed to persuade my friend who was openly doubtful and was somewhat hesitant of this venture. A tiny establishment with intelligent utilisation of space and the open kitchen is sure to give you an oriental feeling.
A small menu yes but somehow I find small menus comfortable to choose from. As starter we wanted chicken spring rolls which was not available. So we opted for Spare pork ribs which came with a tangy lip smacking dip. The dip complimented the predominant sweetish taste of the pork ribs perfectly. Only complain that I have is the meaty portion in comparison to the ribs was quite low.Moving on to the main course we ordered the traditional Burmese specialty "Ong no Khowksuey" and Chicken curry with bok-choy and rice. The Khowksuey consisted of a myriad of flavors which is sure to give you a foodgasm once you start spooning mouthfuls( don't forget to add chilli flakes and squeeze the lime wedge like me. They are indeed huge taste enhancers). It's a very low calorie meal and ideal to beat the heat without compromising with your tummy. The chicken curry was different in flavor and to be frank was quite ordinary in comparison to the Khowksuey. However my partner was of the opposite opinion and preferred to stick to his own dish after having one spoonful of the Khowksuey!! Quantity is exactly enough for one person but choose your dish wisely as the spices and sauces used are quite different from what we are used to.
While the ambiance is surely a class apart, complete with statuettes of Lord Buddha and crafted potteries, service is okayish.The washroom is outside the restro ( which is a big letdown)! Overall if you love to experiment with your food then definitely recommended for a shot otherwise you may not find this place justifiable to it's rating.
Supercool!
This was my first time I was trying Burmese cusine and I am glad I went to this place. A very small, yet cozy and comfortable place - well curated, and cared for - it shows - in the food, the service and the overall experience - that they care.
Had a really nice experience!
The best thing is they have very limited options in the menu - this works good for me. We ordered 'ONG NO KHAWKSEY' and some dessert made up of red rice and jaggery. The main course was amazingly awesome - perfectly mild in taste - not too spicy, not blunt - just the right taste. I personally didn't like the dessert much - it was okay okay.
Food 4/5
Ambience 5/5
Service 5/5
Vfm 4.5/5
For me, it was little bit on the expensive side, but totally worth it! Definitely recommended!
"WET THA SI BIAN" this is all i can ask for from this place. Have been here fir many times but this us the only dish I order every time. All the pork lovers this is a must try with the perfectly spiced red curry and soft pork portion with pork fat makes this place a heavenly abode. It is served with steamed rice and pok choi which perfectly compliments the pork.
Chicken Khaukswey was very good for the summer lunch.. But the pork curry was really disappointing... Pork was not properly cooked... Tried fried quail.. Which was good.
This is a cozy little place serving burmese food. We had chicken drumsticks and crabcakes as starters. The crabcakes were very tasty but the drumsticks were quite ordinary. The rice and chicken curry felt like our home cooked food ...nothing exotic though supposed to be burmese. The we had khausuey....very tasty..light on palate with lemony aroma..loved it. We also had dried fish paste...tasty if you can overcome the smell . Its best to give dessert a miss as we were found the taste of the sticky red rice with coconut and jaggery very horrible.
A late review.. I visited this place in the month of October during Puja..
Burmese cuisine!! Never tried before. However my first experience went pretty well. Tried 'chicken wings' which was in their special menu, 'Ong No Khaukswey' a classic burmese speciality of noodles in chicken broth & coconut milk, though not fan of coconut milk but really enjoyed this dish. Second was a 'dry spicy khaukswey' (don't remember the name), that was also really good. Accompanied with 'Ngapi Chet' (recommended for dry fish eaters), a spicy dry fish paste, it was good giving some tongue tickling experience. Overall will turn out to be good experience for people who are interested in trying different cuisines. It is once a while visit place. Looking forward to visit again someday.
I was taken to this place by a friend who suggested for having " Burmese " cuisine. On my visit I found that it is a nice cozy place to grab a quick bite.
Location : 4/5 Located just beside Anjali Jewellers Golpark. Parking to be done on the adjacent road.
Ambience 4/5 : Comfortable. Space for 20 people. Well decorated.
Food 3.5/5 : Have a wide array of food. Serves pork , shrimp , chicken , fish. I tried shrimp cake and pork spring roll which was good. However I felt it could have been better as I had much better Shrimp Cakes @ Golden Joy , Tangra.
Staff recommends Khaukswey which is the signature dish based on which the eatery is named.
Service 4.5/5 : Helpful staff. Orders are delivered in nominal time.
Value For Money 4/5 : Meal for two would cost around 600.
Overall : 4/5 .
This place was on my wishlist for a long time.
We had Boo Thi Gyaw, Pazun Gyaw, Pork Ribs, Ong ho Khauswey, Wet Tha Si Byan and Balachaung.
I loved pork ribs and the khauswey.
Si byan was aslo really good, the pork preperation was a bit oily but very tasty.
It's a small place serving good food.
The staff is also nice and helpful.

On a short visit to Kolkata, I was happy to meet up a friend over Burmese food. She zeroed in on this place and on a cool winter afternoon we slurped and chatted in this cosy den. The shrimp cakes served with tangy chilly sauce laced with sugar had the perfect crunch. The 5 pieces were polished off in no time. The staff were kind enough to serve the Khaukswey in 2 bowls and all the accompaniments came in delicate little bowls. The soup was thick with coconut milk but just right and the flavors were enhanced with a dash of garlic oil, fried garlic, browned onions, shredded cabbage and crispy noodles. We had it with cold sliced egg and yumm it was.

Less a review and more of an earnest request .. where da mohenggya at ?? 🤔🤔 Please add it to the menu quickest ... Its the bomb with that maagur maacher broth and thor er stock ... plz plz plz
We are in love with this restaurant serving delicious Burmese cuisine. We visited this place twice and both time, were bowled over by "Khaukswey". Presently, this restaurant is celebrating it's 1st birthday. adding to it, some special dishes are being served. We tried "sausage rice with braised mustard leaves" and loved the dish. The dessert "Khao pyin" also deserves a special mention. Together, Chanda's Khaukswey rocks, as always.
I went in this restaurant with my friend. The restaurant is beside the main road and parking also available. The service in this restaurant was very good. From my opinion not only good it was best. I ordered few dishes. I was very good. I tell my others friends and family members to visit in this restaurant . Many of them already visited and remaining persons will be visit very soon.
I went in this restaurant with my family.my family members fealed very happy about the service in this restaurant.we enjoyed the best food in cheapest cost........
I visited in this restaurant....i like it...The service of this restaurant is excellent...The quality of dish is the best.....I refer my friends and family.......
I was visit 20 days ago... the service was too good and dish was also good... totally i love it...i refer my friends and family also........
Loved it!
This place has some of the most succulent spare ribs I've had in the country. Authentic Pork curry and rice in typical Burmese style. Chanda's has a very homely flavour hidden within every dish on the menu, also the ambience is extremely cosy and romantic. Great value for money on most of the dishes.
Do not come here looking for anything other than extremely original and authentic food, if you have the palette for authentic Burmese food, you won't regret it.
Small but nice place. The people working there are good. The quality of the food was high. A bit more options in the menu would be pretty great. The food is different from the regular cuisines we have. Some people with me did not like it, but personally I liked the change.
Hospitality served hot on the table with awesome tasty food. Soooo good. Food so tough to pronounce but so really tasty. And the behaviour fantastic
According to me,what really differentiates a okay restaurant from a good restaurant is it's Good Food,Friendly service,excellent taste in music and ambiance. Chanda's Khaukswey fulfils all the criterias at an affordable price.

Kolkata for me is The Food Capital of India. Not bcoz m born here or my palette is well-prepared to the taste here, but bcoz you can get authentic food from most part of the world here, especially from Asian countries. And each joint has its own distinctive taste which lingers in your mouth forever.
I still remember my first taste of pork momo way back in early 90s and fell in love with Tibetan food. That same momo is now a household name and is sold in small kiosks in every part of the country.
So during my present visit to Kolkata, when I learnt that there is a new joint opened for Burmese (Myanmar) food, there was no way I could leave without giving it a try.
And now having tried it, I can only say that before leaving Kolkata, I have to eat here atleast once more.
Fabulous food! Another to-visit place everytime I come to this city now!
Only disappointment which remained was I didn't get to meet Anjan Dutta, the singer, actor, director, writer and the celebrity hubby of the owner of this restaurant.

This is one a new breed of Kolkata eateries which gives the gastronomically adventurous a chance to expand their palate. Given the long relation of Bengal with Burma (or Myanmar) it is indeed surprising that there aren't more restaurants in Kolkata focused on Burmese food. Anyways this is a good start. This is a small restaurant with just a few covers. The menu is short and to the point, zeroing in on just the specialties, a fact I appreciate a great deal. I tried one of their combo options which enabled me try out quite few of their specialties in one go. It had the shrimp cakes, deep fried tofu and of course the ong no khaukswey. In addition I also ordered the pork ribs. The tastes were OK without being great. I would like to see more bold, robust flavors. All the tastes seemed a bit too toned down, a bit too bland for me, as if the chef was deliberately trying to westernize the dishes. There were some availability issues as well. Desserts were not available because I am told, that they couldn't get hold of sticky rice.When I was there, they were giving away small plants to celebrate the first year of the restaurant, which is a nice gesture. I wish they were putting them in plastic bags though, otherwise carrying them is difficult.Overall this is a decent restaurant offering us a chance to try new dishes. This is something which I deeply appreciate. We desperately need more restaurants in Kolkata willing to go beyond the usual biryani/chowmein stuff.
Gorom Vat diea #Sutki r Creamy "#KhowSuey", #ChandasKhukswey s awesome!!

If you like khaukswey, and one the been well made, you will refrain from eating it at most places. There are very few people in the city who actually know how to cook a good one. First visit, I dried the chicken wings, golden chicken curry and the khaukswey, and absolutely loved the food at the first bite. The batter on the wings had so much texture . And they were cooked to perfection.
The broth was absolutely stunning. I am tired of the thick kadi like broths all over the city. This is by far my most favorite.
I was lucky to have the special chicken curry. The balance of flavors cannot be matched. Pure excellence. I could see the love and effort that has been put in the place.
I also had some balachao and it tasted delicious with the rice. There was so much flavor, I could eat just that with some greens.
Been to this absolutely fabulous restaurant twice and the second visit was in the presence of Chanda di herself. Unless you meet her, you won't know how much care she puts into feeding you. Looking forward to another visit soon.
Kudos!

Finally I got to visit Chanda's Khaukswey! Was on my wishlist for a long long time.
Location - very easy to locate. It is in the lane which has South City College. Centrally located.
The interior is really cute. It really amazes me how they put such a small place to such good use. Very cosy and comfortable.
Now the food.
Frankly speaking, I've been wanting to try out Burmese cuisine ever since this joint opened. And I had no clue whatsoever about the items. However, the person serving us was very helpful and really recommended the specialities of this restaurant.
• For starters we chose Pork ribs. Okay, it was extremely tasty and had 5 pieces. But I wasn't really happy with the pieces. That was one disappointment.
• My friend chose Wet Tha si byan as his main, which was basically rice and red gold pork curry. This was amazing. Full marks! The curry was a bit oily, but it's okay, it tasted out of this world. The rice was of good quality and the curry had 3 chunky pieces of pork.
• I decided to go for Si-chet Khaukswey from the special menu. It was dry and had a great amount of chicken pieces. Sort of resembled dry hakka chow. Taste again was awesome.
• We had also ordered 2 glasses of fresh lime soda. Needs no detailed description.
Now coming to the biggest letdown of the afternoon, lousy service. Like really. When we were given our bill, it came to a whopping 1540. I realized that taxes had been added, now that the restaurant was booming. Still I found something amiss. My friend not bothering paid his share and asked me to pay my own, which is when I noticed that they had added Wet Tha si byan twice.
Seeing our confusion another staff came up to us, and started explaining to us the contents of the bill, which made me feel quite dumb. However, we pointed out the mistake to him, and he was apologetic.
After the whole fiasco, our bill came to 1170. Which brings me to the point that had I been a little too incautious, we would have ended up paying almost 350 bucks extra.
Other than this little fiasco, my Kali pujo afternoon was made. The food was spot on and so was the visit. Definitely worth a visit!

Located in the heart of south Calcutta in Golpark, a stone's throw from south city college this food joint has a cozy feeling to it. The names of the items are indeed different from what we are used to buy the owners and their warm and friendly staff are more than eager to break down the syllables and explain the food items in appropriate details. We tried the pork ribs as well as the tofu salad as staters and neither of them disappointed. We tried the pork curry with rice which was a delight for the taste buds. Finally we reached the khaukswey experience where the host very graciously provided the instructions on how to mix it all in and enjoy the item. There are various condiments available at the table to ensure that the food can be enjoyed to the hilt as per your personal preference. We signed off with a sticky rice and coconut cream dessert that was topped off with jaggery that was the perfect way to end the meal. All in all had a wonderful experience with the entire family and the pocket pinch was also within Rs400-Rs500 per head. This restaurant would definitely be one I would like to go back to again and again just for the comfort food and the pleasant ambience. It is certainly a must try.
Quaint place to dine out. Well behaved staffs. Authentic Myanmar Cuisine. Lip-Smackng spread. Lamp shades made of cane, even back rests. An almost open kitchen. You might get to taste a dish for free if you are lucky enough. Have shirmps, tofu, Burmese Dessert and choose from a variant range. Names are a tad tough, but the host will always help u out there. Happy Eating people!!!!

This is a quaint little place tucked in the corner near Golpark. If you want to attack in a gang, you may try to check availability of seating since the place has very limited capacity. I have been hearing a lot about this place. I had planned for a relaxed visit to try the delicacies. However fate took a different turn. One afternoon I was running errands and was very hungry. Was craving for something light. And I hit this place. I tried only what this place is named after. Although I was in a hurry I couldn’t help but relish what was served.
Love this place! Authentic and lives up to its name.
Recommended: I find the concise menu really great. The ribs are a speciality and definitely the special in house khauksuey
This is was a life saver for me today..Went out for lunch today planning to eat something different..most of the places we tried were full..then we came across this restaurant.nice place with very humble and polite staff..should visit for the authentic food..background music is just perfect...love there song collection
Wanted to try burmese for a long time and finally i managed to on astami afternoon.
Very nice place, good decor and very nice ambience.
A bit disappointed with the staff. What we had ordered was totally out of sync and we were informed about this after they served us the dishes. It would have been better if we had been informed while we were ordering.
Deep fried tofu for starters was a good choice.
Their specialty, " ONG NO KHAUKSWEY " is a must!
The dessert was a very good combination of rice and coconut milk. Unusual but delicious! Loved it!
Never had tried Burmese cuisine before.
So....5 stars at the first place?...Yes, they deserve it!😊
To begin with, we had ordered #ChickenWings for starters and it tasted something different from the usual chicken wings I had tried. Sorry I m unable to explain the taste😐 but it was delicious 😇.
'Khaukswey' means noodles in Burmese. The #NaOngKhaukswey is a preparation of noodles in chicken broth and coconut milk. The taste was definitely class apart from the normal chinese noodles I have had till date. This is a gravy dish and we also tried the dry and spicy preparation of Khaukswey. Our next try was Fish paste which is a spicy delicious preparation of dry fish and deserves a try by anyone and everyone who visits #Chanda's Khaukswey.
Great food, cozy ambience and 'at home' hospitality earn them 5 stars from me.
Will visit again, SOON 🤗

I just came back from Delhi yesterday and like the usual ritual had to hog today!
The initial plan was a bit of last minute Pujo shopping and then a meal at Santa's Fantasea...but I guess fate had better plans...it was a wait of 1 hr after some 30-40 odd people at 3 pm!..we were starving and cudnt wait ..heartbroken we left the place with a plan for some other day ...and I am thankful we did leave..Coz just in the next lane was this amazing place which was about to serve us one of the best lunches ever.
Beautifully done up with a seating arrangement for not more than 12-15 people ...and it was empty! I don't know why on earth...people please visit this place and you will not regret.
We took a 3 seater the best arrangement in the entire outlet just over the road with a glass wall from the roof to the floor..a good view and the weather was just apt..it was raining.
The menu is crisp with not too much options since we don't really know Burmese food atall..with a little help from the restaurant manager and mom we ordered chicken wings for starter it was on the 'today's special' board not in the main menu.
The chicken wings were nothing like anything I had before ...was coated with a rice powder batter as much as I could gather ..crispy crunchy well marinated and flavourful..it came with a super hot chillie dip.
Then came the famous khaukswey... soupy noodles with a creamy coconut milk broth ,chicken pieces and an array of condiments to go with...a tray with sections each carrying a bit of boiled diced eggs, fried onion bits, fried garlic bits, spring onions , fried noodles...these are supposed to be added to the noodle broth ... hell of an experience..rather heaven of an experience ..only beautiful is the word.. my taste buds are still on a non stop dance.
Kyet tha sibiyan was next it's simple white rice with a chicken curry..but nothing like any curry I tasted before..subtle flavoursome and unforgettable it came with a garlicky steamed spinach.
Dessert was sticky rice with jaggery and seasme seeds..khao pyin ... this was more of an acquired taste..a lot like our payesh/ kheer but again a variation in the taste.
A great experience tasting Burmese food...I think it's one of the tastiest cuisines .
A highly recommended visit.
It's the cosiest beautiful small place you will find in the opposite of Ramakrishna Mission,Golpark(on the lane next to Anjali Jewellers).
They have a limited Burmese menu but that's a nice trick to indulge the Indian foodies into Burmese delicacies because we know a little about it.
Their signature dish Khaukswey is brilliant and pure culinary brilliance along with the golden pork curry which is a well made spicy finger licking main course.
They have good starters and we had spring roll,chicken wings and Shrimp cake. I didn't like the shrimp cake but the wings and rolls are amazing.
Nice initiative Chanda and Co. Me lickey!!
Visited this place for dinner . Before commenting about the food, I would like to talk about the hospitality. It was the nicest greeting I ever received in a restaurant. We were guided very well as all the items were unknown to us. Coming to the food, we tried almost every item on the menu along with special menus of that day. Everything tasted very fresh and unique and were perfectly served. It would be better if the quantity of some of the items can be increased a little. Overall it was a nice experience. Some more items should be added on the menu.
We are all for quaint small eateries located in narrow lanes. Oh the joy of discovering cute little eateries serving a storm! Chanda's Khaukswey is one such place, serving delicious Burmese cuisine. We totally loved their Khaukswey. Ong No Khaukswey, being their house speciality, is a classic Burmese delicacy with noodles in a traditional chicken broth and coconut milk. It comes with different ingredients and spices and each one adds a distinctive flavour to it. The flavours just compliments each other so smoothly and a hint of lemon adds freshness to it. Such a delicious comfort food! We think its time we visit this place again ❤️
Tucked in the South City College Lane in Golpark, I have been looking forward to go to this place for dinner considering it's 3mins away from my place.
One starter and Khaukswey that's what my order. Solo dinners and all that shizz. So I ordered the chicken wings which was on the special and Ong No Khaukswey. The chicken wings were okayish, it was batter fried and were mostly drumsticks instead of wings. I loved the Khaukswey, served with all the condiments like boiled egg, baresta (fried onions), herbs and veggies, fried noodles, fried garlic. The broth perfectly spiced tasted good with the noodles.
Value for money and a perfect place to spend done quiet time.
Burmese cuisine is one of my favourite and this place definitely didn't disappoint when it comes to that. A simple menu and nicely prepared food. Very helpful staff as well, especially with regards to ordering, since a lot of people may not be familiar with Burmese food. Their house speciality khaukswey is good enough for the main course. The chicken wings starter can also be tried if you're looking for some variety. Reasonable pricing as well. Hope they expand their number of tables in future, unless the intention to restrict the footfall. Overall, a good experience.
If you want to try Myanmar food then this is the place for you. Located near Golpark this cozy little place with its window seats and great ambiance really takes the cake. I tried Burmese food for the first time and was not at all disappointed. We ordered the signature dish of Burmese Cuisine Ong No Khaukswey and in sides Balachaung.
Ong No Khaukswey is the traditional food of Burma. Its a Noodle based soup made from Coconut milk with various spices and protein like egg and various meat thrown into it. Balachaung in the other hand was sun dried Prawn shredded. Both the items in terms of taste was delicious.
Overall rating...... If you want to try new cuisine then this is definitely the place to visit.... I know I will..... :)
The only Burmese thing that I've tried in my life before this was the Burmese harp. While the Burmese harp has its own surreal beauty, this restaurant surely has its own share of speciality. I have had the signature khaukshey dish both times I've been there and I kind of like it. My friend had a special pork noodles and we also tried the pork ribs. Both were really good and I wonder why they're not there on the menu. The wet tha si biyan is basically a pork curry rice combo which is not enough and I would warn you against it if you're really hungry. Also, this is very simple. You can make it at home. However, the khaukshey is filling and if you're not aversive to coconut milk, you'll like it too. The deserts are weird. There is this shrimp paste which I didn't like at all. Great service and great music ( obviously because of the owner), I will go there again only if I'm having a khaukshey craving.

Burmese cuisine..tried for the first time..well...good enough..cosy comfy place with simple decor and soothing background music...
We ordered Kyet Taung Paung(fried chicken wings) was flavoursome...some spices were unique...the accompanying chilli garlic paste was awesome...
Next the signature dish..ong no khaukswey..unique enough..rich coconut broth with noodles...and many adjoining spices along with basic proteins..i liked the smoothness of the dish...
Wet tha si biyan...the red and gold pork curry with steamed rice and sauted veggies..
Pork was rich and oily..though i thoroughly enjoyed the meat...tender juicy...the pork fat was well cooked in fact..the steamed rice was aromatic..the sauted veggies a bit bland..
The price being the setback..food was good enough...nice experience
Chanda's khaukswey the name made me quite curious to try out this new small joint near golpark.The concept is nice.They serve Burmese food which I'd never tried before.The food was quite tasty and innovative.Ambience was pretty good.

It was raining all the day when me and my wife decided to go out as everyone was feeling bored for the non-stop rain. So we decided to visit Chanda's Khaukswey.
The restaurant is located on the lane of Gariahat Road, opposite to RK Mision Institute,Golpark. Excellent location. The ambience was cozy and delightful.
We were 4 members and our kid. Chanda Ma'am welcomed us so beautifully.When we entered there we found so many interesting Photographs of Myanmar. Apart from that, I personally had a interest of visiting here. Yes, the reason is no one other than my most favourite star, Anjan Dutt. Chanda Ma'am is his better half. I have heard and seen in movies, pictures, interviews of Anjan Dutt about her, but never met before.
This was the first time I had tasted Burmese food ever in my life, same for my family also. And due to rain, it was a perfect weather to try some hot and delicious Continental foods. We tasted all famous delicacies of Myanmar as suggested by Chef Pankaj and Chanda Ma'am. Here are my individual rating.

Hope to visit here very soon. Great going Chanda Ma'am!... And thank you so much for the appreciation to my daughter, Maithili.... We all will cherish the memories for the time we spent here.
chanda's khaukswey is a little joint located near golpark. based on myanmar/burmese quisine, the retstaurant is very small in size but packs a big punch. the menu is really short and options are limited to the menu and day's specials but as i see it, less options is proportional to less confusion while ordering. the food is really very simple but tasty. tries the pork and chicken curry with rice and the shrimp fritters. everything tasted really delicious. prices are moderate. If u want to try something new and good, then definitely drop by and explore the culinary delights of Myanmar.
We visited this place for the Khaukswey and the Pork. And none of them disappointed us.
The Khaukswey tasted lovely after adding the fish sauce. The red and gold pork curry was heavenly. Both are must try items if you visit this place.
The outlet is small, but very cozy and we liked the decor.
As pork lovers, hope there would be more pork dishes as daily specials. Also if those are posted in the FB page in advance, that will be really helpful.
If you are a food lover , i mean only if you appriciate the art of good eating then this is the right spot where you can try Burmese food. A small restaurant and apt for a family dinner. A very short menu but i prefer that way because you can try out everything at one go. My parents enjoyed the cozy atmosphere with some classics.......
Absolutely love this cozy little joint. Have been to this lovely outlet four times. The khaukswey is absolutely delicious . They make a beautiful chicken curry and the special menus are something I look forward to. Last lime I visited they made a lovely quail.
Never been disappointed !
Very clean establishment with a modern look and good take on Burmese Khaukswey.
The pork ribs were soft and sauce was tasty and tangy. Although a bit more meat in the bite world have been better
Chanda's Signature Dish of Khaukswey was well seasoned and on adding the condiments was a well finished dish.
Best dish was the dry Khaukswey where the wok brings out all the flavour of Burma.
Finished with a traditional Burmese Falooda which was a meal in itself, filled with bread cubes and rice cake and lovely rose water.
The Red Rice dessert was a little let down by the rice not being fully cooked and glutinous as expected of dessert.
Overall, very flavoursome and a great taste journey is to be had into Myanmar.
Superb food. A very minimalistic and cozy atmosphere. A truly striking and well curated menu. And a very involved and dedicated owner. All of these come together to make Chanda's Khauwswey a gastronomic delight. Please don't go here looking for you regular fix of tandoori and spicy Indian dishes. The menu is totally Burmese and very selective. And it is brilliant in short.
It's a new yet beautiful dining place. The owner personally explains the moods of each dishes while ordering dishes. The speciality dish is amazing and different from the daily delicacies in different cuisines. The decór is noteworthy and soothing. Good for group dining.
They say it's cuisine of Myanmar. Chanda Khauwswey wife of Anjan Dutta had her previous three generations rooted in Burma. There are not many places which serve you Burmese food that too with warm welcome so, thumbs up for the unique concept. First timer must seek help before ordering because you may end up ordering something which does not strike your taste buds right. Besides regular crisp menu, on a black-board they mention special dish of the day.The place has nice decoration and ambiance but there is not much room to enjoy with a large group and it is so small that the waiter and the next table can not avoid overhearing your group chat.
Really, really good food. I am a repeat customer there but what I have noticed is that their presentation (gastronomical) skills go down once they are familiar with you. (I don't know if it's my face that's putting them off, LOL), otherwise I would have rated them a full 5 stars.
