If you find yourself wandering the vibrant streets of Haldia, make a pit stop at the beloved Swapandar Maggi & Tea Shop, a cozy haven for late-night food enthusiasts and early risers alike. Nestled comfortably at the crossroads of HIT College Rd and Kshudiram Nagar, this charming café is not just a place to eat; it’s a meeting point for food lovers, students, and anyone seeking a delightful culinary experience at the unconventional hours of 3 AM to 8 AM and 4 PM to 8 PM.

At Swapandar, the highlight of the menu is undoubtedly the iconic Maggi dishes that have captured the hearts (and taste buds) of many, transforming an ordinary instant noodle into a gourmet experience. Locals rave about their signature creation, the Maggi Bhaja with Poach, which features perfectly cooked noodles tossed with a vibrant mix of spices and accompanied by an expertly poached egg that just oozes richness with every bite. Pair this with a steaming cup of their mind-blowing tea, infused with a robust flavor that wakes up the senses, and you have a combination that many argue is the best in Haldia.

The atmosphere here is as lively as the food itself. Owned and operated by a cheerful couple, Swapandar Maggi & Tea Shop is not just a café; it’s a celebration of local culture and camaraderie. The warmth and passion with which they serve their customers is palpable, as reflected in a multitude of heartfelt reviews. “They never say no to any student,” remarked one patron, and indeed, the welcoming spirit fosters a sense of community – a rare gem in today’s fast-paced world.

During chilly winter mornings, the experience of savoring a hot bowl of Maggi while watching the sun peek through the horizon is simply unparalleled. As one early riser put it, visiting at 4 AM during the colder months is a must, making the café not just a meal stop, but a cherished memory in the making. Every spoonful provides a comforting blend of nostalgic flavors, while the tea ensures that warmth radiates from both inside and out.

Customer feedback echoes the sentiment that this humble eatery serves more than just food; it offers a slice of life in Haldia. With each stirring of the bright yellow Masala, souls are nourished, conversations flow, and laughter fills the air. As the food critic Prologue goes: “The Maggi is out of this world,” and it’s an exemplary line to describe the delightful offerings at Swapandar.

So, whether you are craving a late-night snack, an early breakfast, or simply looking for a spot to unwind and mingle with fellow food lovers, Swapandar Maggi & Tea Shop stands ready to serve you with hearty meals and genuine warmth. Make your way here, and let each meal be a celebration of flavors, friendship, and those little moments that matter the most.

The person who runs this shop, along with his wife, must say, they both work very hard to please our taste buds with their amazing Maggi Bhaja with Poach, and the mind-blowing tea that they make generally. They might not have a big space, but they're really jolly and cheerful. They might be at the verge of closing but they would still not say a "No" to the students here. A lot of thanks to this man. Feeding students like us whether it is at night 2am or evening 7pm.

Delicious maggi and tea with a different taste. Timings - 3am to 8 am and 4 pm to 8 pm. Best place for budding technocrats to go up in midnight.

Once upon a time, the maggi bhaja here used to be the ''only'' best food found in Haldia
