Eating out in cal part 2

I had totally forgotten about some which deserved mention before all I had mentioned... So here they are:


Aheli - Peerless Inn- Chowringee
Suruchi: Park Street
If you are in Cal, and love to try out cuisines then you cannot miss this place for the bestest Bengali food in town. If you want authentic bengali food then you have wo options - visit a bangali baari, or comedown to Aheli or Suruchi for the traditional cooked meal... From cholaar dal to langcha, too shuktho to macher jhol, to benguni, all the traditional items retaining their individual flavours... Its an experience in itself...
Cuisine: Bengali
My pick: Cholaar daal, loochi, Alur dum
Pocket Pinch: 1200 for 2


Backside of New Market-Esplanade, park street end
Authentic mughlai non-veg food, famous for its most traditional methods and authenticity of taste...vastly non-veg and very very basic... Nothing swanky... Can't say much, as I have heard about them, never tasted being a vegetarian... try Rehmania, Shiraj, Aminia or even the lesser known ones... The best Biryani's are told to be made there..
Cuisine: Mughlai
My Pick: -
Pocket Pinch Rs 300-400 for 2

Trinca's: Below Park Hotel Park Street
Has a little bit of every cuisine, is good try for me, but some people acually swear by this... Again the nostalgia, the old Cal charm...
Cuisine: Multi Cuisine
My Pick- changes menu very frequently
Pocket Pinch: 700 for 2


Kathi Rolls: Park street, Near Tewari A.J.C. Bose Road
Kebabs wrapped in flour doughs, made to perfection... I guess Calcutta is synonymous with Kathi Rolls and if you leave the city without trying these, then probably you havent visited the city, or are a vegetarian like me... This needs no description...in doubt search it, try it...A trip to cal without it is a waste.
Cuisine: street food
My Pick: -
Pocket Friendly: Rs 30 a roll


Kewpies: Elgin Road
Again a traditional vegetarian and non-vegeterarian Bengali thali's served on Banana leafs in traditional Bengali Bhoj... Another favourite
Cuisine: Bengali
Pocket Friendly: 400 for 2


Little Italy- Fort Knox Camac Street
The most amazing place to be, authentic Italian, amazing food... when u think Italian its a very simple cuisine, and most people manage to make it taste good, but the perfect texture, colour and taste, to make u remember that seven hills country, so famous for its Pizza and Pisa, you need a trip to this place to know what I mean...
Pocket hole of Rs 700 for 2
Cuisine : Italian
My Pick: Margaretha Pizza and just about most pasta's


Gautams: Near the Airport, AE block Salt lake
The bestest coffee's in town, well fine I am exaggerating but a nice place to hangout, great cold coffee, nice snacks and good crowd... All u need to have a car or bike because well this is a stall not a restaurant :D
Cuisine:Street food
My Pick: Cold Coffee, chilli babycorn, and paneer pakora
