Kamala Kitchen

OMG OMG OMG, this place is out of this world! We walked in very late in the afternoon. The food was so fresh! Tasted just like what I had in India. I felt as if I just walked into my Indian friend’s house and their auntie cooked all this food fresh. Try the fish curry. So authentic! Can’t wait to come back to Kamala Kitchen.

Never had Bengali cuisine before but I was welcomed so warmly and the lady helped me understand the menu and make selections. The food and chai was so fantastic, handmade with love and pride. It is so wonderful when you get to discover a family owned business like this. I’ll be back for sure!

Excellent Kolkata style food. Apart from the non-veg items, their vegetarian dishes such as dhokar dalna, aloo posto, and shukto capture the authentic flavors of Bengal. Kamala’s kitchen is a hidden gem in an unassuming set up in Hillside - highly recommended.

This place is a gem.<br>We had the mutton curry and paneer, excellent flavor and worth every penny.<br><br>A plus for the owner being very sweet and extremely accommodating to us and our requests. A great local spot you don't want to miss.

Went here after a recommendation from a fried to try some authentic Bengali food. We tried their snacks. The non vegetarian snacks were better. Fish was the best. The place, people and food was definitely authentic but I wouldn't go out of the way to taste food here.

This place truly captures the soul of Kolkata street food. The kochuri with ghugni was absolutely outstanding, perfectly crisp on the outside, soft inside, and packed with authentic flavors that instantly reminded me of home. The kathi roll was equally amazing, with well-spiced filling and that classic Kolkata-style wrap done just right. We also tried vegetable chop, fish fry, fulcopir singara and everything was delicious. And to finish it off, the rosogolla was soft, fresh, and melt-in-the-mouth, exactly the kind you crave when you’re missing home. Every bite felt nostalgic and comforting. Highly recommended for anyone looking for real, home-like Kolkata food in New York. Sitting area is relatively small but the owner's welcoming attitude is something I appreciate.

Wonderful meal today! My husband is a big fan of Kolkata food, and he found the flavors here very nostalgic. We especially enjoyed the Fish Fry, Fish Kofta, and the Korai Shuti Kochuri with Aloor Dom. Everything was fresh, the taste was decent, and the prices are fair. Excellent service as well—we’ll be back

Kamala’s Kitchen offers authentic Bengali cuisine prepared fresh with traditional flavors. Favorites include Fish Fry, Mutton Curry, and luchi with potato sabzi and daal. The menu also features fish curry and classic Bengali sweets like sandesh and roshgolla. Though small, the restaurant provides take‑out options and delivers a truly worthwhile dining experience.- Julie Posner

We wanted a different meal and that’s we tasted. Although we’ve been in many areas of India we have never tasted the Bengali cuisine. We discussed choices with Debjani and he recommended the Luchi & Chholar Dal and the Kochuri & Aloor Dom. Both dishes were very enjoyable. He recommended the Roshogolla for desert and it excellent. The Resturant is very simple and there are only two tables - seating for 8. Look at the menu - they have a large take out selection for gatherings.

Delicious Bengali Kolkata style food. Coordinating food for 120 people is no small feat, but Kamala Kitchen's catering service exceeded expectations in every way. All the food was delivered on time. Our guests were genuinely impressed. We received countless compliments on the food, and several attendees asked for the caterer’s contact information for their own events.

A Hidden Gem for Bengali Food Lovers!<br><br>If you’re craving authentic Indian Bengali food, look no further—this place is hands down the best in the US! I’ve only found three Indian Bengali restaurants across the country, and this one truly feels like home.<br><br>The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a lovely Bengali lady (the owner) cooking everything fresh with so much love. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we had been transported straight to Kolkata.<br><br>Now, let’s talk about the food—because, wow. We had Koraishutir Kochuri with Alur Torkari, Egg Chicken Roll, and Fish Fry, and every single bite was perfection. The roll and the fish fry are absolute must-tries—crispy, flavorful, and incredibly nostalgic.<br><br>And then came the desserts—a dream come true! Malpoa with Rabri, Patishapta, Gurer Roshogolla, and Komolabhog—each one better than the last, each bite melting in our mouths. We were in Bengali food heaven.<br><br>Most items are available for walk-in, but if you’re looking for specific fish dishes or anything that takes longer to prepare, I’d recommend calling ahead.<br><br>If you’re from West Bengal, love Kolkata-style food, or just want to experience the magic of true Bengali cuisine, you have to visit. This place is a rare find, and I can't wait to come back!

This place is AMAZING! I really like Indian food but this authentic food from Kolkata (Calcutta) is truly delicious. Please forgive me as I do not know the names of the dishes but the tilapia dish, the coconut curry shrimp and the lentil soup were wonderful. Try the desserts too as they are top notch. The family that runs the place is genuine, hospitable and kind, and I hope to get to go back soon.

It’s very hard to find authentic Kolkata Bengali Cuisine & foods from this place are very close to that.<br>Kolkata Style Egg Chicken Roll was super delicious, crispy ness on the outside roti is very similar to Kolkata Street Style food. Inside filling was packed with flavor, tasty & very filling. The portion size was good too. Went again & tried Kochuri & Aloor Dam, Fish Fry & Fish Chop. Inside Kochuri there was daal filling which is very much Authentic Kolkata style, Aloor Dam was tasty too. Fish Fry & Fish Chop were very delicious, coating was very crispy & inside filling was very flavorful. Kasundi & onions come as side which very much Kolkata style touch. Reminds me of Authentic Kolkata Street Style Foods. Owner is very friendly & super nice. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Kolkata Style Bengali Cuisine. Their Chicken Chap is very very close to Kolkata Style & it’s delicious.<br><br>PS: Edited Because of second visit

Kamala Kitchen gets 5 stars for being a passionate, hard working, food enthusiast mom & pop upcoming take-away outlet. The owners - Anup and Debjani - came up with the idea of starting a business in the area off Bengali homely food take-away post Covid times.<br><br>Their weekly menu changes every week and has a decent selection. I particularly love dhokar dalna, shukto, and their shorshe / posto dishes. For dessert - the narkel nadu and the malpoa are crave material.<br><br>I wish them all the best in their new adventures and hope they stay just as passionate as they scale up.
