The Kitchen of Joy

Brilliant taste in terms of food and ambience. But a little take care of place hygiene would be nice.

My go to place for ‘cha’, singara and adda. This is a very small eatery modelled around the road side tea-stalls of Bengal. One of the best places in Bangalore to try finger and fast foods of Kolkata. I have been visiting this place for the last 9 years and the quality has been consistent. The owners and staff are very courteous, polite and kind. If you are visiting in the evenings I would advise you to carry some odomos. While they would put some mosquito coil, fumes from the coil might bother some and the odomos can come handy.

A visit to Kitchen of Joy in Indiranagar is a delightful escapade into the essence of Bengali cuisine, encapsulated in their Chicken Moghlai Paratha.

The modest roadside setup with limited seating is juxtaposed against the captivating wall clocks that add a unique charm. Though the place gets quite bustling.

I'll recommend it for people having liking of Bengali Cuisine.

The Kitchen of Joy left me unimpressed with its attempt at replicating Bengali flavors. The food lacked the true essence of the cuisine, offering only a faint resemblance. Furthermore, the high prices did not match the underwhelming quality on my visit. Overall, I found the experience to be overrated and the cost unjustified for what was served.

Best for egg rolls super crunchy and nice and gave kids Gems chilli paneer was amazingly spicy and soft

This place serves the most authentic Bengali food. Hats- off to them for not playing with the original taste. Very popular in my family. Dishes, are reasonably priced,

Overhyped and overpriced. The shop owner has a patent dialogue while taking orders "wanna try momos? ". Why would you ask that everytime? If I want I will tell you. The items are priced high for no good reason. You get the same thing, infact much better taste of the same food in West Bengal at a cheaper price. Just coz u opened a small restaurant in Bangaolore you are looting people here.

I am surprised. But my first experience was really good!
Only one big -ve. That is they have very little space.
But without doubt it's one of the best in Bangalore! Keep it up.

Apart from it's limited seating space and parking space crunch, every thing is good about this place. The food is authentic Bengali style. They even have Malayali cuisine. Really well maintained for a small place. Must try items here are the Mughlai Paratha, Egg Devil and Fish Cutlet.

Sweet place. It's more like a cafe and I like the roadside feel. They claim to serve authentic Calcutta street food. About the place, it is usually crowded in the evenings, especially on weekends. If you're looking to grab a quick bite, its perfect, else it is difficult to find a place to sit. I'm fond of their rolls and the biriyani is a must try; Bengalis should love it for the taste. Didn't like the cutlets though. All in all if you are in Indiranagar and like Bengali food you should definitely give it a try.

As there is no dearth of good food in and around Indiranagar, the "Ambiance" is the name of the game. I'd like to go a bit further and say that Kitchen of Joy has character, which is why it attracts more people. Because it's that tiny, it seems to be perpetually full and they have a row of seating specifically for loner, (Because of space constraints as well) which is welcoming for people who want to work/read etc. Also, the food is above average and the service no nonsense. Love that.

Fast Food is tasty - But cost wise very expensive. For example Buttermilk was 70/= Rs per small tea cup glass & same fresh lime was 40/= Rs.

Tried mutton muglai paratha, toooo good with mustard sauce.cold coffee and lemon tea was full Desi style.loved it

Delicious authentic Bangoli food, I tried stuffed paratha and samosas there. Small place but Good location. You can hang around with friends.

Good authentic Bengali food, however, the prices are a little steep in comparison to the food and decor

Great food prepared with a lot of passion n love. It’s pretty authentic Bengali food!
Do try alur dom n luchi!

This is a place in Bangalore where you can taste Bengali snacks. You can test various Bengali snacks and dishes here. I like the interior design of the restaurant specially the clocks on the wall. One thing I really dislike about this place is the price of food. It is just too expensive for Bengali dishes and snacks. No way you can imagine such high price for food like mutton roll or aloo roll. Only because of this I am giving three stars.

If you have the crave for bengali food, adda and tea. This is your place.
Fond of Bengali biryani (potato or alloo) in biryani they serve it with both Chicken and Mutton.
I like there loochi with Mutton / Chicken / Aloo dum. Mouth watering.

Nice place for evening snacks. I do like the lebu cha (bengali version of lemon tea). Prices are reasonable. Convenient location as well.

Awesome bengali cuisine, luchi aloodum, rolls and rasgulla, damn good. Be prepared that there is very less space to sit properly but quick bites it's great.

Good place but very small. The food was good. Must try includes Mughlai chicken Paratha and Butter Maggi.

Fantastic Bengali food in a tiny shop, like the ones you see in smaller lanes of Calcutta, tastefully done up. I tried their Mutton Mughlai paratha - the best i've ever eaten so far. Luchi Aloo dum was good, the green gram dal curry was also superb. You may have to wait for sometime once you order, but it is well worth the wait. I will surely go there the next time i am near Indranagar.

What will strike you the most is the casual setup. It's a mixture of nostalgia and tounge in cheek posters that differentiates itself from others. It's small, you can call it crampy but that makes it ideal for small gathering of friends. The food is decent, can be improved.

Great ghugni luchi.ghugni with dim pauruti or egg and breads.kolkata style rolls.great tea.a muat visit on a sunday eve.

Easy laid back sort of vibes inside the cafe. Its a bengoli theme cafe serving some good teas and lunches. Tried the darjelling cha. Not a big place but sweet little cafe for sunday noons.

If you are a fan of Bengali cuisine then this is a must visit place in Indiranagar.
Must try: Luchi with chicken kasha, egg devil, fish chop and Rolls

If you are an ardent Bengali foodie. Avoid it. You would be disappointed. The pricing of to the food is on the higher side and doesn't do justice to the quality of food served. We ordered chicken biryani, which we felt was below par given the price. The mutton kosha was again average and lacked the spice you'd crave for. The presentation was good, it infact smelled good but the taste was offbeat.
