Balwant Singh Dhaba began as a meeting place for the Ghadar Party where freedom fighters met, planned, debated and also cooked. In 1926, it officially became a restaurant, but the soul of that old Punjabi kitchen still lingers in every bite. Today, it’s a Kolkata icon. Famous for its vegetarian delicacies all year but in winter, Balwant Singh's food just hits different. Think hot gobi and mooli parathas, crispy kulchas, gajar ka halwa, makki di roti, sarson ka saag and of course, their legendary special chai. If you’re exploring the city this season, stop by this legendary dhaba because Kolkata winters aren’t complete without a meal here. Save, share, and stay tuned for more stories from winter here on Kolkata Classics.
