Overview

Get set for Kolkata’s finest food tour. Greet your guide and take the subway up to the intellectual heart of the city. Here the Bengal revolutionary fighter Subhas Chandras Bose is more famous than Gandhi and the people are passionate about their rights and independence, not to mention their food. The evening starts at a little street vendor that blends up one of the district's best tropical lasses. Afterwards, you'll hop from spot to spot tasting some fine Bengali fare - prawns covered in fragrant coconut milk curry, onion bahjis from a revolutionary food stand, succulent mutton kosha and a range of Bengali sweets to name just a few. Finish at one of the oldest colonial coffee houses in Kolkata where nearby university students descend for intellectual discussions.

Itinerary

Kolkata (Calcutta)

Greet your guide outside Gate 4 of 'Esplanade metro station' and hop on a short train ride up to a district little visited by foreigners yet renowned by locals for its cuisine. When you disembark, you'll dive straight in with an exotic lasse found at a local street vendor before hopping into a tiny joint that's been whipping up some of the best mutton kosha curries in Kolkata for more than a century. Your guide will uncover stories of old Calcutta.

1 hour
Kolkata (Calcutta)

Visit Kolkata's most celebrated local seafood restaurants where you'll try their signature prawns covered in chingri coconut cream sauce and a mouth-watering curried fish mousse steamed in a banana leaf. After leaving you'll clamber aboard one of the old richshaws, the only place where these wooden carts still exist in India and take a short tour of the area en route to the next foodie stop. Gorge on a prawn kabiraji at a legendary kitchen started by a Scot in the 19th Century. Kolkata might seem busy, but your guide will take you on a walk down through a peaceful district pointing out temples and local life along the way. As you meander the backstreets of old Kolkata, you'll try tasty tidbits from the city's most famous onion bhajis to zingy gram salads made from herbs and pulses.

2 hours
Kolkata (Calcutta)

We'll stop by College Street, where university students pass by piles of school book sellers, heading on their way home from lectures. Drop into a local cafe to sample a famed coconut sherbet drink and then taste Bengali treats at a nearby sweet shop. At the faded grandeur of an old colonial coffee shop where students are busy debating, ceiling fans whirl overhead, and waiters serve coffees in traditional garb. This isn't just a foodie tour, it's a tour into the heart of historic Kolkata.

Probably the best tour in Calcutta

Published on Mar, 2025

What an outstanding experience, a lot more than a food tour as it turns out. Got to learn a lot about the city, culture and history with a friendly and highly knowledgeable guide. His English is flawless, and the food stops are really special. He'd carefully explained why he chose each one, what makes that particular dish special and the history of the restaurant. I really did learn a lot - and the tour was at a great pace so you were never too full - highly recommended.

Perfect introduction to the hidden tastes of Kolkata

Published on Mar, 2025

This was a very nice experience! From the rides on the metro, tram and typical Kolkata riksja, to the personal conversations and ofcourse the outstanding tasting food. Avik is not only a great guide for showing you authentic places, he can tell you a lot of other things aswell. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Great Experience

Published on Mar, 2025

Avik has put together an outstanding evening tour - amazing food and insights into the city. Tours and guides can be hit and miss, but this one is highly recommended. Hours are extremely well spent for getting a better understanding and appreciation of the city and its vibrant history and culture.

Culinary heaven with the man who knows it all…

Published on Mar, 2025

Avik was an amazing host from the start… accommodating, knowledgable, friendly and approachable. Be honest & say up front your food issues and he will adjust the tour accordingly. We did not feel like it was 4h, the time went so fast and we tried it all.

Delicious local food

Published on Mar, 2025

What a fantastic tour! We got a great insight into the local food, neighbourhood and transportation in Kolkata we could have never experienced just by ourselves. Highly recommended!
