-   -   A Guide: Eating out in Kolkata (Calcutta) (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/shifting-gears/24420-guide-eating-out-kolkata-calcutta.html)

you guys can bully me, but then i had to do this on behalf of the Kolkata guys. i am an absolute foodie and i love trying out different food joints @ Kolkata. so, i thought it will be great if the Kol (Kolkata) guys can name their favourite food joints and it can be helpful for the members coming from other states / cities.

my favourite ones are:

1. Kebab-e-Seraj - The Astor, Shakespeare Sarani (Theatre Road)
2. Peter Cat - Park Street
3. Mocambo - Park Street (Kyd Street)
4. Cinnamon - Park Street X Camac Street (X=crossing/intersection)
5. Restaurant on the First Floor - Golpark (Purnadas rd)
6. 13 Parbon (Tero Parbon - Bong for 13 seasons) - Golpark (Purnadas rd) - bong food
7. Indus Valley - Syed Amir Ali Avenue (near Ice Skating Rink)
8. Oh! Calcutta - Forum, Elgin Rd
9. Sher-e-Punjab Dhaba - Jessore Rd (near Airport)
10. Opium - Sector 5
11. Abcos - near Saltlake Stadium
12. Haveli - near Karunamoyee H.E.
13. Mishra's - near Karunamoyee H.E.

ok i guess its time for the others to add to this list. :)

16. Royal (Chitpur) - IMO the best biryani in town plus the mutton pasinda kabab is to die for (only avail on wed, fri and sun)!!
17. Iceberg (Golpark) - love the chicken shaslik roll.
18. BarBQ / Mocambo - my regular watering holes :)
19. Someplace Else - the ONLY place that plays good music, food is only starters - 'fish fingers' and 'bhatti ka chaap' are favorites

20. Aaheli (Peerless Inn) : Bengali Cuisine
21. 6th Balligunge Place: Bengali Cuisine
22. KK Fusion (Bside 89 Cinemas) : Good chinese food.
23. Kimbling (Tangra) : Good Chinese
