An iconic restaurant on Park Street operating since 1975, famous for its Chelo Kebab and one of Kolkata's most popular spots with long lines.
Founded in 1975 by Nitin Kothari, this restaurant is located in the Stephen Court building on Park Street. The signature Chelo Kebab features two skewers—one of minced meat and one of cubed meat—served with buttered rice and a poached egg, with portions large enough to share. Sizzlers are also a popular choice. The restaurant does not accept reservations and operates on a first-come, first-served basis; lines often take about half an hour during peak times, so arriving close to opening hours is recommended. It costs about 700–850 INR per person, though some recent reviews suggest that the quality and portions are not quite what they used to be. It is within walking distance of the Park Street Metro Station.
Opening hours
Approx. 12:00–23:20, potentially later on Fridays and Saturdays (subject to slight variations across platforms)
