When work brought Arpita and Sujoy Das to Bengaluru 13 years ago, they yearned for the flavours of Kolkata's street fare, more specifically the Calcutta kathi roll. Since they could find none, Arpita decided to open a tiny 150 square feet shop cooking and serving up this quintessential Kolkata eat-as-you-go treat. It was only a matter of time before Sujoy quit his advertising job to support this small enterprise that has since built for itself a loyal following not only for its rolls that are made completely in house, including the spice mix with a few ingredients shipped from Kolkata, but also their Kolkata style kebabs and biryani in recent times. I visit them for a late lunch and make a meal of three tasty kathi rolls.
Hope you enjoy this episode. Take care, stay safe and strong; please do support businesses in your neighbourhood. Happy eating!

If you get a chance to go Chennai, try rolls in tic tac restaurant, best roll in the world I say.
I want to point out to that lady that her way of wearing mask does not serve any purpose. It was a turn off. All i could see was her mask when otherwise i would enjoyed watching the video.
If there's someway you could do a video on a good Chinese restaurant and make them show us the process of making the dish. Especially how they fry thier chicken . Because this info is nowhere to be found and Chinese dishes have the juciest chicken. Or any video along those lines
It's actually quite difficult to review food when the proprietors are watching you. But Kripal, I think you have mastered the art of doing that especially without compromising your honesty!
It's like writing answers in exam hall when the invigilator is reading your answers. Feels terrible😤
Correct
@Yaswanth... if you think this is tough.. You probably haven't seen Gordon Ramsay reviewing food 😃
@@bipinmc123 we prefer kripal more than any other 👍
Yes..its a privilege for the owners if Mr Kripal visits their place..and he's a towering personality..So, that puts the situation under his control..Also he is a wonderful person..hel not give even a slightest expression even if food is not good..He has mastered that art..
A bengali's life is incomplete without roll phucka ,cutlet telebhaja..endless list actually .. Thank you u for this!!
bhaja bhujir dokan is what we call it - uff nostalgic
The owner is a very good host, very polite and inviting. Been going there for over 7 years now to his old and new location. The rolls are really good.
Having chakum chukum since 2013. I am no more in bangalore but its amazing to see how they have grown and flurished. Love thir roll. ❤
Interestingly Sujoy is my Mum's immediate cousin. 🙂 I have heard Sujoy Uncle's place from his parents. So proud of them for they have taken all the risk and have come a long way. Good wishes to the couple and also you Kripal for being honest with your reviews. ❤️
Prices are skyhigh even for Bangalore standards
Anyone after nirmal's video? 😂
As a bengali born and brought up in bangalore. This makes me smile
Am I the only one who is surprised by the attitude of the lady right from the beginning of the video
Guess she was having a bad day and not happy from inside that's it ...hope she is doing fine now 🙂..i don't think it's attitude.
@@amithsingh2343 bro i know attitude is not the right word i wanted to use but her composure presentation doesnt seem to fit to the occassion considering a humble youtuber is there for the promotion of her cafe/resto. I am sure ppl will missunderstand as to what i am trying to convey or point out here.
@@amithsingh2343 “not happy from inside” i like it bro 😂😂 as if she was forced to be there
@@Likit257 hahaha the first thing i would have enquired is about how to wear a mask :D
The owner of this outlet is fighting with every customer online on google who's posting their negative experience either about food, staff behavior or hygiene rather than humbly excepting any of his mistakes. There could be a few targeted reviews but can't be all. This owner is not even willing to accept even genuine criticism going to the extent of lambasting every customer who posts his/her experience. His reviews are in decline probably that's y he's seeking help here. Kitchen hygiene seems to be the biggest issue of this outlet when owner is not around..
@@luv-s8r looks like you have the same mental disease like Arpita. Do you read to argue? Are you paying for people's food? So, when people pay and find the rolls shit( which they are) they have every right to give feedback and lower rating.
Third class idiots they come from outside state & wag their tail here ಕಂತ್ರಿಗಳು
That’s a real authentic Bengali experience too
Have to agree with you here. The food here was very very mid nothing special
Kripal sir, I've been watching your videos for quite a while..... And to see a Bengali dish being reviewed by you was justt amazing... I'm currently in Kota for coaching.. And this made me dearly miss the homely flavours of Bengal.... But nonetheless... Thank you sir, for showing this place...because I'll surely pay this place a visit when I visit Bengaluru next time
I have been a fan of this place and eating here since 2011 when they were behind ESI hospital. Was my regular lunch spot when I was working close by and now a must go if I am near the 100 ft road ❤️🌹❤️🦋
2 years into the pandemic and the lady still doesnt know the mask is supposed to be covering the nose.
I had my first Kati roll in those days called The Pub, Brigade Road in Bangalore (Now popularly known as Nasa Pub). Yes, v all friends use to have at least 2 different Kati rolls for our lunch / dinner in the same Pub. But now I don't thing so, I can have not more than 1 roll. While watching your vlog, i could recollect my good old days when I used stay in Bangalore. Good in depth knowledge shared with us / me Food Lovers channel.
HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY TO ALL 🇮🇳🙏
Great to see..this vlog...I am from kolkata.. but currently I am outside of kolkata.. and miss my kolkata kathi roll...
Kolkata people are really sweet
12:51 Beautiful shot...awesome capture cameraman op 🙏 🙌🏼
Hi Kripal sir, it's been couple of years that I have started watching your Vlogs. While amidst the COVID it gives me immense pleasure and happiness whenever I watch any of your vlogs. Your elaborate approach and patronage towards the subject drives a viewer's attention that ultimately encourage people to gather at the specific eatery to try some of their culinary delicacies. Thumbs up to you and your team for such a wonderful job!! Hats off 👍😀
ಕೋಲ್ಕತ್ತಾದ ಕಬಾಬ್ ರೋಲ್ಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಬಿರಿಯಾನಿಗಳು ನನಗೆ ಸ್ವರ್ಗವಾಗಿದೆ. ಅವರು ತುಂಬಾ ಹುಡ್ ಅನ್ನು ರುಚಿ ನೋಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.
Hi Kripal. This has been our favourite go to place since 2012. The smaller outlet was cute. This looks so good now. Congratulations Sujoy and Arpita. Must come by the next time in Bangalore.
What is remarkable about these rolls is the fact that you can store them in the fridge and sink your teeth into them the next day and they still are so tasty.
Very well expressed 🙌🏽
Thankyou so much for reviewing this sir.
I walk by this eatery everyday but never thought of going having doubts about health and hygiene.I will now go since you gave review.That is the trust my family has in you.
how was it, is 160 a normal price for chicken kati rolls?
We were regular visitor and now still make a point to visit this cafe whenever we visit Indiranagar
Actually a bomb place man
*Kachum Kuchum is an interesting twisty name and Rolls could be had anytime, all the time 🤤There is Joy in Sujoy which exuberates across these Rolls also both Sujoy + Arpita have maintained this place well and also themselves too* 😇
We had been there, the guy is very unprofessional. There were so many swiggy and zomato agents and their orders were pending for up to an 1hr. He was so rude and abusive to them. Also, it took almost 30 mins to place our order, we got it after another 30 mins. The food was okay, maybe because of the chaos. Not worth your time and money!
The owners really believe in their product. I will definitely visit in my next visit to Indranagar.
The best surprise would be visiting an eatery n meeting Kripal reviewing the food 🥳🥳 the food would taste even more sumptuous 🥰
That would be the best thing 😃
Indeed only he can make the food come alive
The lady co owner is so stylish , I feel very jealous.🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great joint. Been visiting this place since 2011/12 when they had the 'tiny little space' next to the bakery. Regular run ins with cops and neighbors notwithstanding, the crowds were consistent! We would drive to Indira Nagar all the way from Whitefield for the rolls. (Not something one would venture to do now)
No offense to the creators, the prices of the rolls are absurd.
Indira Nagar real estate prices are almost have American real estate prices. So you really can't expect them to be cheap.
@@dumbledore192 people don't care if the person has his hotel in Koramangala / kalasipalyam. For the end user cost is what matters.
Quite a regular customer of the old small one on 9th Main Indiranagar...I guess they shut it down now...The Double Egg Chicken Bhuna roll was my favourite and with a very generous stuffing of chicken. Good times ✌️
Varied experience but consistency and honesty in reviewing in a poetic fashion makes it even more appealing. It takes open mindedness and diversity to keep comparison aside and review the dish without any forethought Amazing ! Can't ask for more . Cheers
I went to this place while working in Springboard 91. Sometimes I eat Kathi rolls for lunch. They are very tasty. Owner recieves well and food is tasty.
While Chakum Chukum has its foibles, it's still the closest we can get to the authentic Kolkata rolls experience. I can (and do) drive 20 km or more to eat here every now and then.
Assuming, of course, that the said 'foibles' refers to the food served. Although the recipe is a simple one, sophisticated as Bengali cuisine already is, not sure one can replicate it when away from home due to various factors.
But I digress. Happy to eat one when I'm down in Bangalore. :)
I am lucky to have tasted Kolkata style Kathi rolls from the iconic Kusum Rolls shop of Kolkata. Fun fact is that most of their cooks are Bihari. Taste is amazing.
The mutton Sheek roll is awesome Sir. Cheers
The filling here is much more generous than its served in Kolkata
I am from westbengal, the foods are mouthwatering 😋🤤
Came across the vid.. Gastronomic delights,yet comfort food at a reasonable cost.. Kathi rolls 🙏Never visited BLR, will swing by this place...Cheers.....
Arpita & Sujoy, all the best...Fond memories of 100 ft Road...when it was one serene stretch. Wish Chakum Chukum was there at the 12th Main crossing then! Now in City of Joy would still aim for Park Street fire Kathi rolls at Kusum's or at HKK!
Finally .. u got the legendary ones ... Still not the chola battoora in karthik only on sundays...
So this is how you roll👍
Always loved the lamb liver & malav rolls!
Great to hear kripalamana sir speak Bengali.😁 Big fan of food lovers from Kolkata.
You must eat the veg chop there ..they used to serve a mustard chutney along with it ..really good
Kripal at one point of time when it was off 100 ft road indiranagar near Vivero school it was nice . I used to frequent it very very often .Once they started doing well the woman who owned the place started getting arrogant and rude. I am one of them who heard her rant when she looses it. This is no way to run an eatery. Feel free to delete my message. Respect every customer who comes to eat in your place. They certainly will not do well. Their arrogance will be their downfall especially the lady’s. This place is a no go place for me ever.
Absolutely
My warm greetings to all on the occasion of 73rd Republic day 🇮🇳🇮🇳 Jai Hind.
Excellent Kolkata rolls.
I want it now ....is they are in zomato
As always an amazing video. Kripal please do a series in Mumbai. I remember your Sea food video at Gajalee, Vile Parle. Regards
Excellent video👌
Nice Vdo... I think Chakum Chukhum is the munching sound what we make while eating crispy and fried evening snacks along with hot cup of chai. 😊👍
Nice
Kripal sir
I am also from Kolkata
I have also lots of emotions with the rolls
And we are also very much fascinate with it
Pls come and explore the KOLKATA FOOD
I will come someday, Abhijitda!
After Mr Kripal's review, since i stay close by to this joint, i decided to hit the place immediately, upon arrival :"Patience is the key", if you are ready to wait for 30 mins, then this is the kaati roll place to hit, you will be spoilt for choices but let me tell you...go through the menu and know what you are gonna have!! cause you won't get time to order... since the place will be teeming with take away orders. I did order order their Mutton specialities of sheek kabab and the taste was mouth watering...indeed it was worth the wait..highly recommended I assure you not be disappointed Thanks
The food gets more tastier bcz of ur beautiful description of the flavors😍 Wish u 1million soon sir💪🏻❤
This nation has prospered for 73 years. Let is make it even more prosperous. Happy Republic Day!🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
We had been this to eatery yesterday. The taste was average and price wise its very costly. Approximately 200 bucks for one roll. We had only veg rolls, not sure non veg ones.
Same tawa used for veg and non-veg will be a big no. No matter how wonderful it tastes...
i am in chennai and watching now - you making me hungry sir :)
This took me to Kolkata . Ballygunge Bedwin rolls ,yumm .
One of the best rolls i have had… glad you covered them Sir !! Hoping to see your review on the Brikoven outlet right next to it someday… waiting to watch your review on one of the best pizzas in town😍🙌🏼
Kripal - Hope your tummy was stable after eating as I have always been treated to stale food at the eatery
Have stopped going there now 😔
Best rolls ever tried. Juicy and yummy rolls.y favourite is Chicken shaami extra spicy extra lime 💥
Great.....We won't find such rolls often when we travel across the country....But this episode recalled my mouth watering memory when I was in Kolkata.....
One can only get 'Rolls' in Calcutta! 'Kathi Roll' is an alien term to the Bengalis in Calcutta.
The prices seems to be too high
Kripalji the way you taste and narate all the food items the Chef and the owners of these places are spellbound to know that wow is it iii the way in which you give your opinion on the delicious items tasted
Sweet Jesus! I was craving for a roll and this video pops up! The Chicken Tikka and Mutton Sheek Roll looks fabulous. Definitely trying it out this weekend. ✌️
Owner really needs to get over herself seems to have a bit of a chip on her shoulders maybe that’s why she can’t keep her jacket on and also needs to learn how to keep her mask on
Love how Kripal sir supports local joints. #supportlocals
Super ❤️
I have so much memories here I love this place ..
38 seconds into this video and I can for sure say that Kolkata Style Kathi Roll does not contain mint sauce, chicken tikka or kashundi (mustard) sauce. Green chilli sauce, tomato ketchup, lemon juice, chat masala and chicken tikki is used. Strange that this lovely Bengali couple mentioned golden spoon in Park Street but couldn’t get the basic toppings and dressing wide of the mark.
never had one ill definitely savour it
My favorite dish 😍
Wonderful, I do love a kathi roll and this video has inspired me. The veg chops look delicious, I may have a go at duplicating them and maybe sell them at my deli :-)
Happy cooking and eating Chaat Man, it's been a while since we've seen you here. Hope you are doing well.
@@FoodLoversTV I'm well and very busy thank you, the word is spreading about my food and the business growing. Best wishes and good health to all at Food Lovers TV, your content is exceptional.
@@desiangrezifoodie Do look up Bong Eats channel. Their chops and peyaji are the best. I have tried out some of their recipes and all of them have worked.
@@akankshapatwari4167 I love Bong Eats and have cooked a few dishes from their channel. But I haven't tried their chops, so thank you for the heads up :-)
Thank you Kripal Amanna sir for finding me a good Bengali restaurant 😀
I love the way you explain the things🤗
Soon 1 million subscribers!
Keeping viewers hooked for 24 mins that too for a Kathi roll only Kripal sir can do the justice
This brings back lots of memories. Once a month every friday we used to order from them. Glad to see it covered by kripal sir
The only thing I noticed, which may not be a part of a typical traditional Cal roll, is the sauce inside, esp the green chutney. Most Cal roll outlets, except Kusum perhaps, use sauces sparingly. It's mostly the paratha/egg outside, and the chicken, onions, chillies, slight chaat masala, maybe a hint of vinegar and squeeze of lemon. But these rolls look yummy, and I would love to enjoy them whenever I'm in Bangalore.
Awesome...👍 You explain the taste of each and every thing so nicely..!! 👌👌
Amazing vlogging... Nice warmth and great interaction...
Nice little joint. Wasn't there, when I had lived in Indira nagar in 1985/87 , when my dad was the Regional Passport Officer of Karnataka
The king is back
Fantastic food blog.. A tribute to our beloved Kolkata kathi roll. Perhaps most famous and delicious street food of Kolkata. I am eagerly waiting for Kripal Sir to come in Kolkata and explore the gastronomic culture of Bengalis. I slightly disagree with the owner sujoy with one point, Kathi roll started its journey in mutton and beef version at Nizam hotel in New Market, Kolkata and mutton kathi roll is equally popular with its chicken counterpart.
This video reminded me...there's a bakery chain in Mumbai called Breadkraft...
which serve some excellent rolls just like the ones in Kolkatta.
Love a good Kathi roll. I had one of the best Kathi roll in Agartala which is home to a large Bengali population
From story telling now katha kalekshibekam…….more than the food i love your narration Kripal🥳
Great video.
A humble request. I have two recommendations, of hotels I would like to see featured on this channel.
1) South Kitchen (N.R Colony)
2) Trupti thindi (near Kodigehalli)
I love these two places, and wish to see few more branches of them opened soon. They have some unique delicacies.
Thanks!
I have savour kathi roll in Kolkata. It was the best thing that I ate ever.
I’ll definitely go there
Super sir
Upcoming our weekend spot fix 👍
Happy weekend and eating, Rakshith.
I am happy to see you trying roll. But myself a vegetarian, doubt that tava, kadai that are used in making parata, omlet n tandoor are same for both veg and non veg ... I request you to check that too next time... please
They have separate tavas, but you can verify with them. Contact details in the video description.
The original Kati roll was introduced by NIZAM'S (behind New market, Kolkata )then came a host of copy cats . By the 90's the whole of bengal started making them.
Most of them use maida for roll, the paratha would be swiming in oil & that is the aroma, taste together with the meat.
Good morning dear Kripal 🙏 Wishing you a Happy Republic Day 🇮🇳🇮🇳 ! Oh Chakum Chukum means Chaptata in Bengali . When you put the picture on Twitter yesterday I was trying to wonder why this unique name - Now it’s clear ! Loved the look of the Tandoori kebabs 😋😋 ! The Kolkata Veg Chop roll is truly unique 👍 ! When the added those green chillis on the TKVC roll - I was bit concerned as you don’t handled too spicy dishes ! Sweet Lassi always is a saviour post feasting on some super spicy dishes !! I love eggs on my Kathi Roll - It takes the dish by a couple of notches higher in terms of flavour profile 👍👍kudos to Sujoy and Arpita for explaining their dishes with passion and pride - Well done 👍 Which Roll did you like - Mutton Seekh Kebab ? Thoroughly enjoyed the Vlog 👍👍 Much love and respect ✊🏻 Take care and God bless 🙏🙏
Hi Rajesh, the mutton seekh appealed to the mutton lover in me, but from a purist perspective, it was the Chicken Anda Kathi Roll that hot home!
@@FoodLoversTV Thanks dear Kripal for your reply - Understand your perspective 👍👍
I used to visit them when started near Ambedkar college in Indiranagar
Can you please give the exact location of chakum chukum.
So people can easily reach to their place to feel the taste .
Ramya, you will always find the address and google maps coordinates in the video description of all our videos.
I LOVE KATHI ROLLS
Please share kolkata Biryani❤
