A South Indian Restaurant that can easily be compared to
YUMMRAJ’s favorite South Indian Restaurant, Murugan Idly Chennai is Jyoti Vihar, Kolkata.
Located at Ho Chi Minh Sarani, near Theatre Road, the place is always full of
shoppers, families, office goers and students. The secret to this is the superior
quality of South Indian food they serve here.
Jyoti Vihar is a small South Indian restaurant which now is
a part of kolkata’s heritage. The vintage (in the true sense of the word!) interiors
of Jyoti Vihar with mosaic flooring, the wood paneling and old style table and
chairs will remind you of your childhood days, probably because they are the
same chairs you sat on then! This eatery breathes nostalgia, great memories and
heritage in its every corner. If you don’t believe me, ask any regular here and
they will tell you.
Well, their service is quite fast and courteous. The
restaurant is clean and hygienic. They serve delicious South Indian food at slightly
steeper than earlier prices – I know as I visit this restaurant every week! During
lunch time, at around 1:00 in the afternoon the place full of people, and you WILL
have to wait for your turn and get a token.
Their idly
with sambhar (that they serve hot) is fresh, soft and beautifully steamed –
some say it is the best in Calcutta if not the country (I’ve eaten all over the
south and believe me, it is not an exaggerated claim at all)! Their wadas are
crispy outside and soft inside. The ghee Butter masala Dosa they make will
drive you crazy, and is easily the best butter sada dosa one can have this side
of town. Jyoti Vihar serves you the most piping hot food - their milk upma and
the dahi vada are outstanding! The
coconut chutney is excellent. It is thick and grainy, topped with roasted urad
dal. Their paper dosa’s are crispy and light on your stomach though not their
strong point. One special mention here - they also serve no-onion sambhar on
request, so if you don’t like onion you can always ask for their no onion
sambhar.
To complete your South Indian meal, they serve some nice
filter coffee as well. I would highly recommend Jyoti Vihar to all food lovers.
Even if you don’t like South Indian food, try South Indian food here - you may
just fall in love with South Indian cuisine.
