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.
Very authentic Bengali ( Kolkata) food! Anup and team are great!

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

This is the only authentic Bengali cooking Kolkata style that is in the tri state area - the owners are warm and authentic, the food has always hit the spot - we had kochuri and Chola r dal on multiple occasions and took out a lot of dishes ( sorshey ilish, rui, sukto) - the sitting is no frills. The service is warm. The food is excellent. Strongly recommended.
excellent place to eat original indian, Bangladeshi, Bangal, Calcutta and Kolkata food.

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.
We finally found “Kolkata style” good food, in a friendly and warm setting. I can feel the spirit of the “City of Joy” with the delicious, flavorful vegetable chop filled with bright red beet, mashed with other ingredients and wrapped in crispy, brown crust, followed by Luchi( a version of Puri which has distinct Kolkata touch), Cholar Dal( Chana Dal!) and Chai. Thrilled with the food, we also ordered Misti(Desserts)- it was much different than what you get in other regular sweet shops. We did order lots of food for take out. In summary, it was a great discovery, and I am very happy that I finally found a place which serves good quality food, with a nice, friendly smile and priced reasonably. In my opinion, Kamala Kitchen should be conisdered by food experts in NY Times, they will not be disappointed. Frankly NY Times may find it worth entering its name to its list during their next review. Best of luck to Mr and Mrs Datta on their wonderful efforts to bring Kolkata food to New York City.
Just like my mom makes it! Cholar dal hit the spot and the mishti doi was so creamy. Too good 🥹🥹

Kamala Kitchen is a true hidden gem! The food is fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The kati roll, dal, fish fry, and fish chop were outstanding, and the rosogolla dessert was perfection. Debjani is extremely warm and welcoming, and you can tell every dish is made with love. Cozy atmosphere, great service, and real soul in every bite. Will be back soon. Highly recommend!
