About
Heritage Khorikaa
Heritage Khorikaa, nestled in the heart of Chandmari, Guwahati, stands as a genuine ode to Assamese culinary tradition. This charming eatery, led by Chef Atul Lahkar, masterfully captures the essence of authentic Assamese flavors, offering a diverse menu that ranges from delicately spiced vegetarian thalis to richly prepared non-vegetarian specialties like Chicken Khorika, Duck Masala, and Aar Fish curry. What truly sets Heritage Khorikaa apart is its commitment to preserving cultural heritage—not only through its food but also through presentation, as dishes are served in kansa, a traditional metal alloy that adds an earthy touch to the dining experience.
From the moment you enter, the ambiance reflects Assam’s rustic beauty, with decor elements like bamboo and gamchha woven seamlessly into the environment, creating a warm, inviting space perfect for family meals or quiet, reflective lunches. The food here speaks to both simplicity and sophistication—every dish is balanced in flavor and crafted with care, avoiding overpowering spices and instead letting the natural ingredients shine. The tender mutton and perfectly cooked pork, along with flavorsome dals and fresh fish curries, highlight a remarkable harmony of taste that feels both fresh and rooted in tradition.
While some customers note the service pace can be slow, the attentive hospitality and willingness to accommodate diners’ requests underscore a dedication to customer satisfaction. The thoughtful touches, like the extra portion of pork provided when requested, reflect a genuine care that enriches the overall experience. Chef Atul Lahkar’s culinary expertise creates not just meals but memories, making Heritage Khorikaa a must-visit for those seeking an immersive journey into Assamese cuisine that honors the past while delighting the modern palate.

“ Authentic Assamese cuisines can be enjoyed at this beautiful food joint. There is a wide variety of veg and non veg items. The service needs to be improved a little bit. The waiting time for the food is long which needs to be improved. The taste of all the items are superb the mutton was tender and well cooked. The food is served in kansa (traditional metal alloy) which makes it more unique and enhances the old serving tradition. ”
“ Incredible authentic Assamese Thali and great hospitality. The ambience is perfect for family lunches. One can blindly go, and I'm sure it will not going to disappoint. ”
“ 'Heritage Khorika' is a traditional Assamese restaurant in Guwahati that I have been frequenting since 2017. Well designed, quiet, and sophisticated – this eatery by Chef Atul Lahkar is an absolute foodie's delight. I have never been unhappy eating at this place. Therefore when my partner and I went for our lunch to this place today (Sunday – September 14, 2025) after a long flight from Bengaluru to Guwahati, our expectations were also high. Guess what! We were not disappointed. We loved the served food! While both of us went for the Non-Vegetarian Akhaj (Non-Vegetarian Thali), my partner opted for the Pork variety and I went for the Chicken one. Everything was tasty. Also, what was infinitesimally more important was the spice level in the food. Although extremely tasty, none of the items had high spices. We are going to visit this place again! ”
“ It's a medium sized asamese food restaurant by Chef Atul Lahman. It's decorated local asamese as well, with bamboos and gamchha etc. There's most famous and cheap Thali which has many dals sabzis and rice. They have a lots of variety on fish and chicken as well. Food is simple. Prices are reasonable. Nothing fancy except that you eat authentic local food. Service is slow. ”
“ The menu was full of Assamese delicacies and I tried the Veg thali, that was cooked to perfection. The spices used were flavorful, while the overall flavor was light and delicate. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful and the flavors were balanced and harmonious. The service was fast and efficient, and the atmosphere was pleasant and cozy. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Assamese experience. ”
