One of the best Bengali restaurants in Kolkata is unquestionably 6 Ballygunge Place in Ballygunge. The restaurant is housed in a British residence with beautifully designed interiors and strategically arranged buildings that replicate the grandeur of Bengal in the Victorian era.

You can eat steamed aam kasundi chicken or pur bhora doi potol (stuffed pointed gourd) for your main course. Apu Durga, Shyambazarer Shashi Babu, Noti Binodini, and Aampora Sharbat are some of the drinks you should try.

Dawat-e-Kashmir in New Town, Rajarhat, is a Kashmiri fantasy presented on a plate. Their Wazwan is the ultimate foodgasmic dish, with haakh, waza paneer that is incredibly silky, and nadru yakhni, where lotus stems melt into a creamy yoghurt gravy. Next are the crispy, spice-marinated lamb ribs known as tabak maaz, which should be accompanied with a warning because they are highly addictive. Not to mention the yakhni, which is flavourful, rich, and essentially the gastronomic equivalent of a homely winter aesthetic. You know where to go if you enjoy soul food, slow living, and meals that tell a story.

The chic rooftop bar and restaurant Cal-On at the Hyatt Centric Ballygunge is well worth a visit. It has the ideal balance of Bengali, Italian, and pure enjoyment. The menu? Oh, it's incredible. The night is lively with infectious rhythms, a gourmet feast, printable pictures, and a playful vibe. They serve a variety of dishes and cuisines, including pizzas, salads, mezze spread, sushi, cheese boards, fried appetisers, and more. We enjoyed Zeylan, the whisky cocktail, which was served with paradis maki sushi and surat bread rolls. We also really approve of the Jer tequila cocktail. However, the six taps—Ambassador, Chaplynn, Ezrahh, Prinsep, Tramway, and ICH with a side of Anda paratha—were the highlight of the night. We devoured Edamame green pea falafel, Middle Eastern minced chicken kebab, grilled pork belly with an assortment of vegetables and barbecue sauce, and hazelnut praline cake for dessert.
