One of the most loved ways to survive Kolkata's scorching heat is by hogging on cool and comforting gelatos. Compared to classic ice cream, gelatos are denser, smoother, and richer, with a lesser concentration of cream, more milk, and no eggs. They're churned slowly, ensuring that not a lot of air is mixed, keeping the consistency easy to bite into. If you're on the hunt for the best gelato spots in Kolkata, here's a curated list of the best options that serve this refreshing dessert.
