Bhimsains Bengali Sweet House — Restaurant in New Delhi

What did I have?

Chole Bhature, Papdi Chaat, Kulfi Faluda,Rasmalai, Rabdi, Rasgulla.

Why did I order these items?

These were the items recommended by other reviewers at Zomato.

How was Ambiance, Service, Hygiene?

Ambiance : It is situated in Bengali Market.Now if you are situated in a market place where already there is a huge, regular gathering of hungry people, why would you waste money in creating an ambiance? So it doesn't.

Service : I guess it will range from average to good, depending on the staff's perception of how much you would tip ;)

Hygiene : For a restaurant which doesn't have much of an ambiance, this was hygienic enough for me.

How was the FOOD?

Chole Bhature : Bhature was nothing special except for the fact that it was neither oily nor (bread like) "chewy" . Chole had a different taste than what I usually eat.Now I liked the taste but didn't love it.It will depend from person to person.So try it once and decide for yourself.

Papdi Chaat : Big disappointment for me.Except for the subtly flavored green chutney in it, which I really liked.

Kulfi Faluda & Rabri: I have eaten kulfi faluda only 3-4 times.But if this is an awesome kulfi faluda, then kulfi faluda is a dessert which I would avoid in the future! Same is the case wih Rabri.

Rasmalai and Rasgulla : Neither great!! nor bad!, both of them are good!

So should you visit this place?

It is neither a place for fine dining nor is it a foodie's heaven.

It is actually a market place which you desperately search for, after getting a 'drop-dead' stare from your wife when you unwittingly asked her "what are you cooking for dinner?", post an evening of hectic shopping :)

Visit it if you are near bengali market and looking for a place with reasonably good food and short...

I recently visited Bhimsain's Bengali Sweet Shop, a place known for its wide variety of sweets and savoury snacks. My visit, however, was a bit of a mixed bag.

I tried their Aloo Chaat and Aloo Tikki with Dahi. Both dishes were quite average, failing to live up to the expectations I had. The Aloo Tikki was under-seasoned, lacking the necessary salt that would have brought out its flavours. This made the dish rather bland and unexciting.

The Aloo Chaat, on the other hand, was served lukewarm, which was disappointing. A dish like Aloo Chaat should ideally be served hot to truly enjoy its taste. Moreover, the chutney accompanying the chaat lacked the punch of spices. The flavours felt muted, which significantly impacted the overall taste of the dish.

On a positive note, the ambience of the shop was quite pleasant. It had a warm and welcoming vibe, which made the dining experience somewhat enjoyable.

In conclusion, while the ambience was nice, the food left a lot to be desired. I hope Bhimsain's Bengali Sweet Shop takes this feedback into consideration and works on improving the quality and flavour of their dishes. As of now, I would rate my experience as 3...

'Bengali Sweet House' is one of the oldest eateries in the heart of the City, which was established in 1937. It is located in Bengali Market near Mandi House and is really famous with the people from all over the city. It used to be one unit along with the Sweets shop and the Restaurant but now it has separated into 3 shops, after partition amongst the 3 brothers who own the Place. It serves North Indian food, South Indian delicacies as well as Chinese food. Thalis (meals) are also available. It is also famous for street food viz. Gol Gappe, Chole Bhature, Dahi Bhalle, Aloot Tikki etc. and you can also get snacks herein for quick bites. It is mostly popular for the authentic sweets made and sold by them including hot and crispy Jalebis, Gulab Jamun, Rasgullas, Laddoos etc. The sweets are hygienic and of high quality. The food is also of good quality and the taste hasnt changed since so many years. There is table service and the serving is quick. The atmosphere is usually chirpy. The place is mostly crowded. It is a nice place to visit for quick bites, either on your own or with family...
