Traditional Odia thali representing the heritage of Odisha Hotel

Who We Are

Born from a Love for Odia Food

Odisha Hotel was born from a simple yet powerful belief - that the authentic flavours of Odisha deserve to be celebrated, preserved and shared with the world. What began as a modest eatery in the heart of Bhubaneswar has grown into one of the most beloved Odia cuisine destinations in the state.

Our journey is rooted in the rich culinary traditions of Odisha - the temple prasad of Puri's Jagannath Temple, the fermented simplicity of Pakhala Bhata, the coastal generosity of Chilika Lake's seafood, and the sweet artistry of Odia pithas.

Every dish at Odisha Hotel is prepared using recipes passed down through generations, using locally sourced ingredients, minimal oil and cooking methods that honour the natural flavours of each ingredient.

Odia Food Heritage

Food That Speaks of a Civilisation

The cuisine of Odisha is one of India's oldest and most distinct culinary traditions, deeply intertwined with the state's spiritual and cultural identity. The Jagannath Temple in Puri operates the world's largest kitchen, cooking the sacred Mahaprasad for thousands of devotees daily.

Odia food is celebrated for its balance - rice as the foundation, lentils for protein, seasonal vegetables cooked with restraint, and the ocean's bounty celebrated in dishes like Macha Besara and Chilika Crab.

The sweet tradition - Rasagulla (which originated in Odisha), Chhena Poda, Khaja and Arisa Pitha - reflects a society that has long known how to find joy in the simple act of sharing food.
