Dravida Utkala Banga

A very good place to have your Odia and Bengali cousins mainly. It's a newly built restaurant placed in Manikonda. The food taste is super and Authentic. Pakhala thali is the best option to try for. I believe the bowl should be a bit bigger. The curry options are widely available. Talking about the place, it's a very small place only 26 people can seat at a time. If you are planning for a visit on weekends then I will suggest you to book a table by calling the restaurant otherwise you would end up waiting for 2hr straight. We went there at 1.30 and we got the table at 3.30 and food came to us at 4.15. so that much of crowded this place is. However the owner and the staff are very generous and friendly. They are planning for the expansion bdw. They handle the crowd very smoothly. At the end - Book your table and Go. Food is good.

Overall Experience: ⭐ 2.7 / 5 This place feels more like a trendy café for quick bites than a restaurant serving authentic Odia cuisine. The food does not reflect traditional Odia flavors. If you are visiting just once for social media posts or to keep up with the trend, it is fine. However, if you are looking for authentic Odia food at reasonable prices, Biswas Curry Point cum Hotel is a much better option. What we ordered: Rice 🍚, ₹125 per single serving Bhakura Jhola, 2 medium pieces, ₹240 Prawns Aloo Curry, 6 to 8 medium prawns, ₹300 Food Review: Rice portion was too small and did not justify the price or taste. Bhakura Jhola was below average in flavor. Prawns Aloo Curry was the highlight with good taste and decent quantity. Ambience: The décor is visually appealing with Odia-style wall art and good decoration. However, the space is small, and continuous kitchen noise affects the overall comfort and peace. Final Verdict: An overall okay experience. Suitable for a one-time visit, but not recommended if you are specifically looking for authentic Odia food or value for money.

Visited for dinner and had an absolutely fantastic meal! We ordered the machar jhol, baigan bhaja, and fish bhaja — everything was simply fabulous, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. But a special mention has to go to the rotis — incredibly soft and they literally melt in your mouth. A truly satisfying dining experience, will definitely be back!

Dravida Utkala Banga is a hidden gem for anyone who appreciates authentic regional Indian cuisine served with warmth and simplicity. This small yet beautifully aesthetic restaurant captures the essence of home-style cooking from both Odisha and Bengal, creating a dining experience that feels nostalgic, comforting, and full of flavor. The interiors are charming and thoughtfully designed, with a cozy atmosphere that immediately makes you feel relaxed and welcome. What truly stands out here is the food. The menu offers a wonderful balance of traditional Odia and Bengali dishes, prepared with authenticity and care. Seafood lovers will be especially delighted with the fish and prawn options, which are fresh, flavorful, and cooked in rich regional gravies or classic mustard-based preparations. The prawns are succulent and perfectly seasoned, while the fish dishes remind you of homemade meals from the eastern coast. For meat lovers, the chicken and mutton dishes are equally impressive. The chicken preparations are aromatic and satisfying, while the mutton is tender, slow-cooked, and packed with deep traditional flavors. Every dish feels carefully prepared rather than rushed, which adds to the charm of the place. Vegetarians are not left behind either. The special vegetarian options are hearty, wholesome, and showcase the richness of Bengali and Odia cuisine beyond non-vegetarian staples. From comforting curries to seasonal vegetable delicacies, the menu has something for everyone. Another highlight is the breakfast selection inspired by Odisha and Bengal. It is refreshing to find a restaurant that serves regional breakfast dishes with such authenticity. These morning offerings are light, flavorful, and a perfect way to start the day. Overall, Dravida Utkala Banga is more than just a restaurant—it is a celebration of eastern Indian culinary heritage. If you enjoy authentic flavors, cozy ambiance, and soulful food, this place is absolutely worth visiting.

Odia veg thali was very good with many side items costs around 300. Decoration and hygeine was well maintained. Location also was choosed accordingly so that many people can access. Parking place is little bit hard to find near by but you will get it for sure. Bengali dishes are also included in the menu.

We went here, had a waiting for 30mins which turned into one hour then a wait for another 30mins after food order. Service for food is super slow. Need to rigorous attention to the operations of the restaurant. I would suggest, come here only if you are truly passionate of this food, put your name and then go shopping or activities nearby and then come back...only then maybe there is a chance to get a table.

A good place to have Odia and Bengali food in Hyderabad. We had the thalis and they are absolutely delicious. Do try their- 1. Pakhala thali 2. Mutton jhola 3. Fish fry

One of the best aesthetic odia cafe. Flavours were amazing. Not only we had good time here, loved every dish. Egg tadka, chicken pakoda, chicken kassa was just fab

I am not a Odiya, neither a Bengali but I did my graduation from Odisha and landed my first job in Kolkata. I loved the food at both the places, so visiting DUB was like revisiting the old memories of my student life. The food was fresh and amazing, especially mutton kosha and luchi. Will definitely visit again to try dahi bara aloo dum and pakhala. The place is also cozy and staffs are very polite and well behaved.

The restaurant server authentic eastern cuisine.We tried Mutton Jhola,Chicken Kassa,Macha Besara. The desserts were also very good.The restaurants need to expand as it was a little crowded

Tasty and Amazing Food. Very good vibes of place and staff behaviour is too polite. Chatu Besar was best …. Best Odia Cuisine food.

Worst customer service 😒 Today I visited for lunch and had to wait around 45–60 minutes for a table. Even after waiting that long, we were asked to share our table with other customers. We ordered a chicken thali with rice and a fish phakal thali. I requested additional rice three times, but none of the waiters responded or paid attention. However, when I asked for the bill, they brought it within a minute. This clearly shows that they care more about collecting the payment than ensuring customers have a pleasant dining experience. We ended up leaving the restaurant half hungry. Not recommended from my side.

We went hunting for Odia food last week and stumbled upon this super cozy place. It was a mission to find, but honestly, the food was so fresh and tasty that I’d go here again.

We had Chicken Kass, poori and ghee rice which was very tasty if you link spicy ask them they will make it and even it was budget frndly super tasty must recommended. They also have chenapoda 🤌

I had ordered kakara pitha and chenapoda from them. Which were tasty and fresh. They keep your preferences as well. I like thier services too. On time delivery provided. Would recommend them for odia food, pitha and mithas. 🙂

Best place for odia typical food… Newly introduced bengali style biriyani is also great

It was a wonderful experience. I was totally missing pakhala this summer. I am staying Kondapur a here you'll not find a good authentic odia restaurant. Today I went to DUB and I was hoping the food will be good otherwise my time in travelling from Kondapur to Manikandan will be a total waste. But it was totally worth it. I had veg pakhala and macha besara and traditional odia food and it was outstanding. It's a small dinner and will take around 15-20 min for the order. My tummy is satisfied today.😁
