Haridas Modak

Kolkata's one of oldest restaurant. Luchi is most famous. Other sweet items are okay type.

Food quality is good but not that par. Place is crowdy suggest to reach a bit early with in 8: 30 am

There is very little seating in the shop.
The taste is amazing.
The price is a bit high

A very old and traditional sweets shop with restaurant. Delicious puritorkari and dalpuri samosa served on traditional way on banana leaves. Lovely place to eat vegetarian.

Not that great. Luchi and Tarkari was reasonably fine but the lyangcha and kalojam was waste of money

Not good, as i expected, its too expensive for single luchi priced ₹10 per piece with unpeeled pottato sabji

Unique taste of chicken cheese omlette and fish fry is also good.with pure bhetki and the price is reasonable.

Can't see why it is a heritage shop. Luchi is average & can be found in any of the average sweet shops & alur torkari is just bland like anything. Utterly disappointed. However Rajbhog & kalijaam was somewhat a face saver. Stick to your local sweet shops guys will not recommend it at all at the name of heritage.

Heard a lot about this place and wanted to visit it since long time. Got the opportunity on Nabami of Durga 2022 and was very happy to experience it. They serve food items on kola pata (banana leaf) thus giving it a traditional touch. Ordered kachori-sabji and later sweets and liked all of them.
Be careful about visiting the original one as there is another one with almost the same name (Haridas Modak) in proximity as the original one is Adi Haridas Modak.

Over hyped, not that level what people are crazy for and probably they recycle the frying old or Ghee repeatedly so I makes the food unhealthy as I had ill digestion after eating some Kachuri. I would rather eat better Kachuri in other street side shops in kolkata with better quality and teste in reasonable price.

The best ever best. 250-year-old iconic restaurant is now operated by the 6th technology of the Modak family. Indrajit Modak is the modern owner of this shop. Legends say that even Shri Ramkrishna Dev, Rani Rashmani, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Girish Chandra Ghose, Abanindranath Tagore, Raja Ram Mohan Roy paid for this trade. Still, you can find pix of the cool guys in this shop. In the generation of Starbucks and KFC, Adi Haridas Modak is one such restaurant that still has an identical Nostalgia stored.

This is best place to have fried breakfast without any tension. Bengali style loochi/Poori served with Cholar Dal is a forgotten and traditional recipe for all nostalgic people of Kolkata who used to have breakfast in their own locality, s sweet shop in their student days.
Value for money and no acidic effect on health after having fried items in the early morning. Must have visit place at Shyambazar, Kolkata.

This place is very much old that's why people visit here but the price of 1 luchi is 10 way too high they serve you luchi and sabji on banana leaf which is very much unique which we don't see now a day thank you

It was of great name and fame once upon a time nearly about 20 years back. Now somehow they are maintaining. Still their luchi tarkari is awesome as per simple taste and light cooking is concerned. May I pray to God so that they can sustain as well as maintain to run the show during this hard and competitive market. Jo Maa Kali

250 years old shop. Unbelievable test of Kachuri and others. From my experience after taking food from here, they only use best materials for preparation of their foods. They are served foods in the fresh kolapata. Reasonable price. Ambience is not good but quantity of food is excellent. If you need good ambience don't visit, but if you want good quantity of foods with reasonable price MUST VISIT THIS SHOP. Staffs are very good with helpful nature along with good behaviour. Must try this place. Value of money

Going by the reputation of it's history on social media, I got interested in visiting it. Landed up on a day around 11: 30 am only to find the Cholar Dal (Chana dal) which is the best combination to go with Kochuri, already finished. Being very hungry, decided to go with the suggested alternative of Aloor Tarkari (Aloo Sabzi) which was served without masala at first! It was a disaster in taste until the refill arrived, this time, with adequate masala, oil & lots of Red powder. Coming to the Kochuris, they felt severely deficient in the Urad dal fillings. Had it not been for the presence of however little filling it had, I would have termed it as Luchi (Poori). Hungry stomach adjusted to the situation. ‍️ Kochuris prepared at home are far tasty than this for sure. I loved the Sweets, which came as an assortment of Chanar Jilepi (Chena Jalebi), Chana Bhaja (Chena Fried Sweet), Kalo Jaam, Rosogolla & Gulab Jamun. Chanar Jilepi & Chana Bhaja are recommended. To be fair, will one day visit once again but early to try the Cholar Dal & Kochuri to conclude if this 250 years old shop is really worth its legacy. And yes, staff who served us, was very polite & well behaved. BTW, they serve food on traditional banana leaves & kochuris are served in triple as a plate first & then repeats can be ordered in single counts.

The kachories are too much delicious. And that dal curry that is also awesome. And not only that you can also have delicious sweets over there. I just tell you that it is a perfect place to have breakfast ️.

Very good place if you want to have garam kochuri wih cholar dal served in kola pata.
Some good option of sweets are also there like chanar jilipi, langcha, chanar goja etc.
The kochuri served hot will definitely cherish everyone. The shop is actually historic. Many eminent historical heros from Kolkata were in their customers list.

The shop is almost 250 years old, like another heritage itself in shyambazar. Kachuris are a bit higher in price, but well good in size. The main attraction is here, food will be served in banana leaves, they maintain the years old tradition.

No doubt, its one of the best snacks shop in shyambazar.

Kachuri 12/- per piece is a bit on the higher side. YouTube community helping the age old shop regain its popularity.
Taste is okay. Nothing extraordinary.
It's just that many want to experience the 250 year old shop.
It's okay for once.

Adi Haridas Modak is on the right hand footpath corner at Shyambazar Panch Mathar junction where APC road turns towards Rgkar. The tradition of ancient Kolkata continues even today. The shine has changed. Old walls, colorful pictures, tables are new, but traditions and tests have not changed. This shop was established 250 years ago by Haridas Modak. Many great men have come to this shop. Even Ramakrishna Dev loved to eat amriti here! As well as Misty and Kachuri. Food is still served in washed banana leaves. If you come in the morning, you will get kachuri with cholar dal. And from noon to night, khosa somet alur torkari with luchi. Aha! There is no comparison.
When I first ate here, the price was Rs. 2.5 per piece. And now the price is increasing by 10 rupees. But the quality is almost the same. Even now, whenever I go to Shyambazar, whether the stomach is empty or full, I go in. Sweet at the end. I will recommend everyone to visit here once when they come to Shyambazar.

Wonderful food at an unbelievable price.luchi or kochuri always hot, with cholaar daal the mouthwatering and quintessential Bengali breakfast served on either banana leaf is available. Their jibhe goja is syrupy, succulent and melts in mouth.

Good old flavours in old style available here.
One of the oldest food joint in north Kolkata. Exactly at Shyambazar five point on R. G. Kar Road.
You will have authentic kochuri & luchi with delicious torkari & daal all day. This will be served in banana leaf, which will enhance the total experience. Neat & clean old style sitting arrangement. Wooden bench & marble top table will add extra to your nostalgia.
Various types of sweet is also available here, special attraction is rasogolla & ledicani but you cannot ignore gajorer kanchagolla too.
Very well behaved & always ready to serve staffs. You will get extra sobji everytime you asked for it.
You really cant say it pocket friendly but worth of every penny for sure.
Last time I visited there, it was cash only.

To go here is an emotion. Now they have innovated with tiles walls, marble tables etc. Enough clean and handwashing area. Now coming to the taste of kachori (in the morning) and luchi (in the day or evening) are just awesome. From 14.04.2022 price of kachori became Rs. 12 each and luchi Rs. 10 each. The curry served with are class in taste. They also use dalda, thus luchi and kachori become much crunchy and tasty. Then sweets at the end. Main thing they serve in banana leaves. Feeling is just awesome. They have also featured in Didi No. 1, Rannaghar (Shows of Zee Bangla). If you go to shyambazar must try this place

Best place to have the traditional Kochuri Torkari Misti of Kolkata. It's a century old shop having the same quality throughout many decades

One of the Oldest sweet shops in North Calcutta. If you still like the touch of old heritage food then this location should be at your first priority list. They still serve Luchi fried in Deshi Ghee, Cholar Daal and sweets during the whole day, especially in Breakfast and evening snacks. So if you want to taste piping hot bengali good then you can visit them during those times. They still prepare some of the old heritage sweets - Sorer Naru is one of them and my favorite most.

Oldest mithai shop in shyambazar area known for their luchi tarkari served in banana leaf.

I throughly come to eat luchi since childhood

Their kochuri and chholar dal can take you to heaven. It is that good. Do try their chhanar jilepi and as many other sweets as you can. The best sweets I have ever had.

Good experience. Loved the old ambience but as per the size of kachori i think it will rate lower than 10 than it will be ok. Otherwise all good

Luchi and cholar daal at its best. More than 100 years old but still great in taste. Enjoy your breakfast on a banana leaf and don't forget to gulp down few sweets at the end.

Century old shop for, Best ghee luchi with small sweet flavoured potato gravy in Shyambazar 5 point crossing.

Food Quality wala decent, and neat. Relatively the price is costlier as for us it cost ₹96 for 12 thin Puri. All over its good and heritage place. You can visit and have your own experience well.

It's the one of the oldest shop, Guru paramhansh and swami vivekanand also go there for snaks, it's a historical veteran place

This is one of the best establishment. It is a Heritage. The environment is very clean and they maintain hygiene very well. And the food quality is awesome. If you wanna taste a best kochuri, you should definitely come here.

This is not only a shop. This is a heritage place of Kolkata. The Adi Haridas Modak. Located at Syambazar five point crossing and don't confuse it with another Haridas Modak which is just beside of this shop. The shop has been renovated now but the taste of their kochuri, luchi, aloor torkari and daal have been unchanged. The same quality like so many years ago is intact and you will realise after a bite that how they are so so famous. In morning you will get kochuri and daal but after 2pm you will only get luchi and aloor torkari. Main part is they serve in Kola pata which is as nostalgic as an old Kishore Kumar's song. Do visit and pamper your stomach. Here are some photos.

Awesome experience with North Kolkata special sweet delicacies. Their Luchi Torkari is an amazing combination served in eco friendly Banana leaf. Apart from these, they offer many amazing sweet items that are truly appreciable.

বাঙালির প্রিয় জলখাবার কচুরি ও লুচি খাইয়ে বহু বছর ধরে বাংলীর রসনার তৃপ্তি ঘটাচ্ছে. আজ গেছিলাম লুচি খেতে কিন্তু কপালে কচুরি জুটলো. এখনো প্রাচীন ঐতিহ্য মেনে কলাপাতায় কচুরি বা লুচি পরিবেশন করা হয়. দোকানের চেয়ার টেবিল পুরাতন ঐতিহ্য বজায় রেখেছে. কিন্তু কচুরির মূল্য বর্তমান যুগকে টেক্কা দিয়ে 7 টাকা প্রতি পিস এ থেকেছে. গরম কচুরি পাতে পড়লেই একটা সুন্দর ঘি এর গন্ধ আপনার লালাক্ষরণ শুরু করে দেবে. মুখে তোলার পর অবশ্যই বলতে হবে কি দারুন.

Luchi serve on banana leaf but cholar daal most of the time is missing, they serve aloo curry most of time, luchi is fresh & aloo sabji also. But they serve one rosomalai type sweet which is (rs 40) (bhai phota special) not Justified with the rate (quality & quantity). We parcel chanar gilabi, & sor bhaja is ok type thing, nothing special.

Haridas modak is situated in five point at shyam Bazar.

It's in the opposite of golbari.it's really easy to find out the shop because this is a delicacy of North Kolkata.
