This is a small food joint and the place is quite old and sitting arrangement is also very simple but spacious.
They serve normal fast food as you can check on the menu.
I had once tried their Special Mughlai Parata.
Size of the mughlai parata is big enough for one person and even can be shared by two persons.
Taste of it was quite home like,not too rich.
Overall price wise quality and quantity were good.
Located near South Calcutta Girls College. Small, basic eatery. Ordered the staple Mixed Gravy Noodles, where my friend opted for Chicken Gravy Noodles. Portion size at that price is huge. Quality was okay-ish. Ambiance, that's not to be found here anyway.
The eatery is quite a shabby place but the food is good...have been eating from this joint past 4yrs...it's always better to takeaway rather than sitting and having food there ......price is very cheap..
I just love their mixed gravy chowmein and Manchurian chicken ....and they are very generous as the quantity is huge which is enough for two at least
I had no idea that this particular cabin will also be under "zomato". So I didn't give any thought of clicking any pictures for uploading. Thus I went for 2 days consecutively to click certain pictures.
Well this is a place where the office people can go and have their essential lunch at a dirt cheap price. This is basically a shabby old cabin where you just go and get a seat and the food is similar to road side stall. You don't expect an ambience at such a place so just forget that totally. Overall the food is moderate according to the price.😄
We four took fish kobirajis and mixed noodles and chicken moglai..
Mixed noodles was good with good amounts of topping..
Fish kobirajis had good quality fish but were very oily.. And the chicken moglai had shredded chicken inside which was also very oily and very tasty... Prices are very much on the lower side.. Ambience is ok and place was a bit cramped.. A good experience nevertheless :-)
According to the food price I should say the food is good. Chilli chicken dry is awesome. Rice preparation is good. Cheap and good food. In lansdowne market.
Mossttt affordable.. Good food as well..home delivery within 30 mins..its the best deal if ur looking to feast on low budget and high appetite..
It's one of those subtle, unnoticed joints of Calcutta! Superb Chinese food (Indian style). You can also try the fish fingers and fish kabirazi etc. It's super cheap when it comes to the pocket pinch. I would suggest take away, as the place looks a little shabby and low maintenance.

At times you may find yourself being satisfied with the most finest of the restaurants which may fulfil your hunger. But sometimes even a roadside snack or tea will Linger your tastebuds to the max. This small cabin is that small address. You can eat your heart out. Even though you have to share your table with someone else, the food is over the top. Sometimes happiness comes in small packets. I love the food here. The veg soup and egg fried rice are personal favourites.
As a food blogger we often have these petty inhibitions about small road side stalls. But that is totaly unjustified...food has no boundary or class.....food is either good or bad...and i was amazed at the quality and quantity of food which is garnered at this Joint. A small shady Road side joint. But for a small price it offers good quality and quantity of food and that mesmerised me. I had ordered a Mixed Chowmein one divided into half and a full garlic chicken. The chowmein was huge in quantity the chow itself was of impeccable quality with chicken egg prawn and veggies cooked to perfection and it tasted good. The Garlic chicken to my surprise was given a smoky flavour and the chicken was actually good chunks. With a cold drink which they got from outside on our request the bill came to 170 bucks....and we couldn't finish our chow and chicken which was again packed. Customer service was at par with any five star.Over all...I WAS SURPRISED AND HAPPY!!!
This is a wonderful place for eating out for people who love to have value for money. Ideal for college students and couples who do not want to spend much but enjoy the time and food.
I agree the ambience is bad... Basically a low class eating place.. But considering the price and quality and quantity of food... I am very satisfied... Last but not the least.. Superfast service... Rs 100 is enough for 2 persons..
"Vivekananda Cabin" the name resonate a chord in my inner psyche like a happy and fond reminiscence of my childhood. My brother and I, whenever, till date (we both are closing in on our half centuries on mother earth) get lost in the nostalgic memories of our days as children in the then Calcutta without fail, eminently remember Vivekanda Cabin. We as children were given 50 paise per day as bus fare to & fro for school. Both us brothers used to go walking one way to school and save the 50 paise once in a while till we would accumulate Rs.5/-, the price of one plate of Chicken Chowmin in the early 80's. This plate was cherished by both of us by splitting the same into two equal shares (equal shares??? That's another story to tell, hehehe). I still very vividly remember telling the waiter/cook, "Dada ektoo beshy chicken deben, amra dui jon aachi" and sometimes we were rewarded indeed. After those days, both us, brothers have traveled to many a countries, including China (where this dish is supposed to have originated from) and eaten Chicken Chowmin (otherwise called chicken noodles elsewhere) but no restaurant has been able to replicate the taste of Chicken Chowmin on our taste buds like the taste that we used to take pleasure in at the Vivekanada Cabin. This Cabin has been there, probably, for over a fifty years and we wish them many more successful years.
Excellent food in cheapest rate. Very it's better for take away.
I have been eating at this place for almost 40years ,
So,this is the oldest chinese serving eatery in south kolkata.
The portion size and the quality of the items highlighted above are very good.
The ambience is not great, but considering the price point, its the best place if you're on a budget.
It mostly attracts takeaways from the locality members, and a lot of teenagers are seen in here.
Nice food, good behaviour, chiper price.
You've been into lot of famous restaurants but have you ever tried that old restaurant situated at the corner of town?
This is the place which extremely good quality tasty food in very cheap price that you will find nowhere around that area. Though it's very small place even without an AC, it has great taste.
They don't have online food delivering facility but they do accept online payment.
Pocket friendly ... fulfilling place. Chinese items served here are really delicious and the staff is very helpful in selecting the dishes. Good for takeaway .... rolls and other snacks available here as well.
A fantastic run for more than four decades, with the wonderful blend of decent taste and honest pricing. A must visit for fast food and (Indian) Chinese lovers. Highly recommended 😊
Awesome food , quality and test is very nice .But there is no ambiance here .
