About Us

A taste of tradition, served with modern flair.

Who We Are

“There is no sincere love than the love of food.”

-George Bernard Shaw

South Kolkata is renowned for its posh culture, lush green parks, bustling shopping centre, and of course – a unique gastronomic trip. Food has always been emotion and an escape. Tucked away in the bustling streets of Jadavpur (opp. JU campus), this is more of an adda place for friends than a family restaurant. But, you can certainly bring your betrothed and relatives for a gala family lunch or dinner at a pocket-friendly price. Known for their heavenly tasted Mughlai fare and arguably they are the best food in Kolkata that money can buy.

Bawarchi is known for the revolutionary change that it brought to the variety of rolls. This difference in idea offered a prestigious exposure in Hindusthan Times under the title of “ROLL REVOLUTION IN CALCUTTA”, for providing the best rolls in Kolkata.

About the Founder

Bawarchi is the brainchild of Mr. Rajiv Kumar Paul, created to offer a modern solution to traditional dining in Kolkata. With a passion for food and hospitality, the brand focuses on delivering a memorable dining experience that blends evolving food habits with cultural roots.

Founded in 1999 as a small roadside stall in Jadavpur, Bawarchi grew under Rajiv Kumar Paul’s vision, dedication, and perseverance. Over the years, it became a popular multi-cuisine restaurant chain, widely loved for its affordable Mughlai biryanis, rolls, and warm service.

Today, Bawarchi stands as a trusted name in Kolkata’s food scene, serving diverse tastes across the city. Along with Bawarchi, Rajiv Kumar Paul’s ventures reflect his commitment to quality, tradition, and growth in the culinary world.
