The Best Indian Restaurants in Kolkata

Kolkata may be the most food-proud city in India. Bengali home cooking, with its mustard, poppy seed and river fish, has found a new generation of champions, while Park Street's old dining rooms and the city's own style of biryani, with a potato in it, are as loved as ever.
