new india hotel

good place inranchito have bengali and odia dishes. ordered plain rice, chicken curry and potato fries(aloo bhaja). decent portion of rice and spicy chicken curry was a pretty good combination as it turned out to be. aloo bhaja was crispy. total bill came out to be 179/-

budget restro/hotel: i have been to this place so many time. mainly for its bengali food. their mutton-rice plate is quite popular. they have options in fish and chicken too. in fish they have multiple options depending on your choice and preference. my personal favorite is mutton rice. you can must try aloo bhaja along with the mutton/chicken/fish rice plate. mutton was fresh and tender. all though its a bengali/oriya restro but you will get the jharkhandi touch in it taste. ambiance is just ok. popular in office goers class and for inter city travellers (asranchirailway station is just 1/2 km) for their lunch mainly because of its location and pricing ( it's very pocket friendly)

one of the places where people fromranchiespecially begalis love to visit is india hotel. this family restaurant runed by a bengali family generations by generations has a reputation unbeatable. although, new india hotel is branch of it's own as the original claims to have no branches at all. the persistent difference can be seen in the food as well. the famous mutton chawal from the new india hotel might not please the way original india hotel did. the restaurant has an extended menu with affordable price but the taste might not be as good as expected.

this is located in near main roadranchibelow over bridge..
this is a huge place .
decor is avearge .
but mutton curry was delicious . price is affordable ..

here comes the heaven for mutton lovers. this place made myranchivisit even more interesting.

it looks like an old hotel and seems like this is operative since last few decades. the entrance is from the rear side of the building. as you go to the first floor and enter the premise, there you understand the real worth of this place. a long que of people waiting to enter the dining area even at the off peak hours. however, those who want to get the stuff packed need not wait.

once you get to the table, the journey to actual food heaven starts. the sumptuous flavor of the signature mutton curry is all in the air and doubles the hunger while you wait for your order. with no breads on offer, the curry comes with boiled rice. as soon as you take the first bite, you feel that the wait is worth it. one plate of curry comes with 4 pieces of mutton and is sufficient as per the diet of an average indian.
although, the guy like me can't resist to order one more plate and even after that only the stomach is filled while dil wanted to have more.

the price is unbelievably affordable. a plate of mutton curry and rice costs just rs. 125.
i will rate this place as follows:
ambience ***
taste *****
service ****
pricing *****
location ****

i had been inranchifor over a week and was tired of the rich hotel food. i wanted soul food. being a bengali that generally means mach bhaat and dal to me. thanks to zomato, i think i hit gold when i accidentally stumbled on this post about the new india hotel serving bengali cuisine.

though the entrance of the place looks shady from outside and is quite literally through a dark dingy lane, you will forgive the restaurant for this once as soon as you take your first dig at their food. as soon as you enter, there is long climb till the third floor for the dining area. the ambiance of the building is that of an old north kolkata house with red oxide floors and wooden window shutters. this already preps you up for a good bengali experience.

i happened to go for lunch to this place and ordered the famed mutton curry and rice and oh boy, i was totally blown away, both by taste, quantity and time of service. the place was literally crawling with people and still my order was served in under 5 minutes. i was served with a mounting pile of rice, a dash of lemon, chilies and mutton curry. there were 4 large, succulent pieces, and they seem to maintain the standard across all the servings of mutton. no one gets an unfair share. they do have a platter of fish and vegetarian dishes, but they seem to be very limited and get out of stock quite literally within an hour and a half of the restaurant's start time.

as i was exiting from the restaurant, i happened to notice a lady over 60 years old in kitchen. upon asking a few waiters around, i discovered that the delicious mutton curry is prepared according to her recipe and she personally supervises the mutton preparation to ensure there is absolutely no compromise in quality and she has been doing this right from the day the hotel was inaugurated to now. now that's some commitment to quality.

i am super impressed!

if you are looking for quality bengali food. look no further.this is one of the best places inranchito have fish and mutton cooked in home style like the ones we have in west bengal. good and hyegenic food and total value for money.

hi everyone

my name is kaustav and i am a frequent visitor to ranchi, i am from kolkata, the origin of foodie people...

i came to know about india hotel from huge number of people who has visitedranchisometime in their life

this new india hotel is not the original one which everyone recommends....

please find the original hotel near to hotel capitol hill...opp to federal bank...in the ground floor there is showroom of manyavar and uninor to help you

the photos present here are of original india hotel only....they don't have any web site...they are not even present in zomato

actually they don't require all of these as their food quality tells about themselves....if you are a foody....loves good quality homemade bengali food...not looking for ambience then don't go to this new india hotel...ask some local person once you reach capitol hill hotel area....your search will be beneficial

at lunch time sometime waiting list touch 100 in india hotel...in the evening they are open 7 to 9 pm only.

i went to this new india hotel on 13th august after getting confused by this zomato and website....i have tested their mutton and rice on that day....
on 14th aug i got the correct location from the local people and tested the original india hotel and believe me its awesome

there is huge difference between this two.
