Dalma Restaurant
ଡାଲମା
An Odia home-cooking restaurant named after a local classic, praised for its thali, pakhala rice and wood-apple chutney.
The original branch is in Madhusudan Nagar, near Sachivalaya Marg, and is decorated with traditional art paintings. Several guides regard it as the go-to place for affordable home-style Odia food. Signature dishes are dalma, mutton jhola and badi chura. In summer, try pakhala, the traditional fermented rice. One blogger rates its thali second only to Odisha Hotel, and the wood-apple chutney is a highlight. About 800 rupees for two.
