Food is an essential part of living for all Bengali people out there. Bengalis love to eat different kinds of cuisines from around the world but they have a deep love for their own traditional foods too. If you are not Bengali, then also you should try some of their traditional foods and I can guarantee you that you will also fall in love with them.

Famous for its rich and complex cuisine, Kolkata has a deep intimate relationship with food. While its street staples such as kathi rolls, jhal muri and pani puri have long been on every food lover’s radar, the city also has several restaurants that offer authentic, home-style flavours. A meal at these Kolkata eateries is not just a feast for the palate, but all five senses.
