Baati Chokha Restaurant ( Taste of Banaras ) — Restaurant in Bidhannagar

🌟 Restaurant Review: Baati Chokha Restaurant 🌾🍽️

Prepare your taste buds for a journey through the flavors of Bihari cuisine at Baati Chokha Restaurant, nestled in Salt Lake, Kolkata! 🌾✨ As a proud native of Jamshedpur, Bihari cuisine holds a special place in my heart, and Baati Chokha Restaurant perfectly captures the essence of this under-rated culinary tradition in a rustic and authentic setting. Here's a glimpse into my delightful dining experience:

🏡 Village-like Authenticity: Baati Chokha Restaurant immerses you in a charming village-like atmosphere, transporting you to the heart of Bihar. The decor and ambiance beautifully capture the simplicity and authenticity of Bihari culture. It's a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing you to relish your meal in a tranquil and traditional setting. 🏡✨

🔥 Litti Chokha Delight: Bihari cuisine is renowned for its flavorsome spices and simplicity, and Baati Chokha Restaurant serves the best version of the iconic Litti Chokha. The Litti, with its sattu stuffing, generously coated with desi ghee, paired with a medley of chutneys and aubergine-based chokha, is an unmatched culinary experience. It's a must-try dish that encapsulates the true essence of Bihari cuisine. 🔥🌶️

💫 Baati Chokha Combo: For a comprehensive taste of Bihari cuisine, I indulged in the Baati Chokha Combo, which included two pieces of Litti with chokha, accompanied by fragrant rice, daal, chutney, and pickle. The combination provided a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, creating a truly satisfying meal. It's a delightful package that ensures you savor a variety of Bihari delicacies in one sitting. 💫🍚🥣

🥮 Sattu Parantha and Fried Phara: To explore more Bihari specialties, I couldn't resist trying the Sattu Parantha—a personal favorite since my school days when my bench mate would treat me with these delectable delights. Additionally, I ventured into something new—the Fried Phara. This unique appetizer features spiced daal stuffed in a rice cover, steamed, chopped, and fried to perfection. It's a classical Bihari dish that offers a delightful burst of flavors. 🥮🍽️

🥛 Heavenly Lassi: Lastly, don't forget to indulge in their heavenly lassi. Baati Chokha Restaurant pays homage to their roots in Varanasi by serving the most delectable lassi. It's a creamy and refreshing treat that perfectly complements the flavors of the Bihari cuisine. A sip of this lassi will transport you to the lanes of Varanasi and leave you craving for more. 🥛✨

Baati Chokha Restaurant is a culinary gem that celebrates the richness of Bihari cuisine in a delightful and authentic manner. From the iconic Litti Chokha to the soul-satisfying Baati Chokha Combo, every dish is a testament to the culinary heritage of Bihar.

If you're looking to explore the underrated flavors of Bihari vegetarian cuisine, Baati Chokha Restaurant is a must-visit. Immerse yourself in the village-like ambiance, indulge in their signature dishes, and allow your taste buds to be enchanted by the rustic charm of Bihari...

I've gone to a number of places,but this one was the kind of place I was looking for! The authenticity of this place,the way it has been done. The interiors are so beautiful. This is a PURE VEG restaurant.

Ambience : Peaceful,with old songs playing in the background and beautiful art to appreciate and big tables,with ample seating space,enough for atleast 7 people to sit on one table. Mostly you'll see families or friends here. The waiters are also dressed up and they serve water in kulhad. Very village- ish interior that was like a change for me. Nicely lit.

Food : Sattu baati - ⭐⭐⭐ Paneer baati - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kadhai paneer - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kadi pakoda - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jeera rice - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Peas Pulao - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paneer butter masala - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mattha - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lassi - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10.Chokkha - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ They give dhaniya chutney and a tomato chutney and ghee already,incase you need it. I will recommend not to take the baati separately because then you'll have to take chokkha separately again and it will be better to have the combo than taking each separately. The only reason I didn't give them a 5 star is because a slight improvement with the taste in a few items would be great.

Chokkha is made of aloo and brinjal mashed together and is spicy. The taste of all the dishes was good. And the lassi was too good.

Service - service was fine,they were polite and were serving with a smile. People complaining about their behaviour being slow or rude is not fine because they work the entire day and might be tired or angry at some hour. You can still be polite with them. However,the GST taxes were not high,it was around 37₹ I guess. There's also a chai stall outside incase you might want to grab one. And they also sell achars and other items. Overall,I will visit...

Excellent place to taste UP, Bihar cuisine. It is pure vegetarian. The cuisine like it's decor is rustic rural style yet very light. Their star is of course Baati or litti with chokha but every item we tried was fantastic like the lasuni palak or dal or dahi bhindi or khichdi or paneer recipes. Tandoori roti, Naan, Kulchha everything was excellent.

Special mention for the litti or Baati - the sattu one is the traditional and most tasty, followed by other ones plain and paneer. And the chokha - excellent again. And the chutneys were great too.

Sattu paratha and fried phara you should definitely try as these are Bihar cuisine staples.

The flavour is authentic Bihar one as I know it. I guess UP also tastes the same as the restaurant says it is a Banarasi restaurant.

I had eaten more than normal but their chhaans helped. It was one of the very fantastic meal in my many years for me even if I am non vegetarian and also I am not from Bihar. So everyone should try it once. Ingredients are of purest quality as even after a ghee laden (I myself added it) dinner with extra eating I felt no uneasiness.

Baati and chokha are absolutely authentic with generous ghee you can add. Chokha was excellent with the mustard oil pungency and other traditional way of making it.

Everyone should try Baati (sattu one) chokha once. Even if you cannot handle it, the other items in the menu are excellent in taste for anyone who wants to have vegetarian food.

The staff is very courteous. And the restaurant is quite popular as even on a not so festive day there was waiting outside a little. So on festive or holidays you can expect some waiting because very few places serve Baati...
