Eating out is a unique style which most
of the people like to enjoy in their own manner and
style. We are all habituated in having food at our home
in our own traditional and typical style. Do not you
think, at time you seek to change the cooking hand,
style and the menu. This is the reason, we all love
to dine out at the week end or on any special occasion.
Kolkata being metropolitan and cosmopolitan city, you
have the privilege to have cuisine of different style.
It could be Chinese, Thai, Manchurian, Japanese style
from the East, Tandoor, Mughlai Kababs from the middle
east, continental from the western countries. Of course
there remain common Indian menus that stand amidst all
the other menus.

For your good information, there are
restaurants and eating out centers in the city where
you can dine out with your nearer and dearer ones
and taste the olden days golden Bengali dishes.
Here are the names and contact information of few
restaurants where you can taste the Bengali Food. |
Food has always been a weakness for the Bengalis.
Studying their food habits since the yester years you
will be appalled to find the time and money they spent
on food. They were never hesitant in throwing parties
and if, for the sake of it, they had to exhaust all
their wealth they never did mind. Not only in marriage
ceremonies, any occasion to them was a party time and
in these parties lavish expenditure on food reduced
many to a popper. Bengalis have been winners in all
the delicacies they have presented to the world. Not
just mutton, fish and vegetables but the variety of
confections and array of fruit dishes have always overawed
the gluttons of the world.
Potato was not that popular_____________________________
Potato was not used in preparations, as the usage was
not that popular. In those days the supply of potato
came from Bombay in wooden ships. Cauliflowers and cabbages
were also not in the kitchen, as they did not receive
the respect they command now. Interestingly, Parwal
and fried spinach too made a rather late appearance
on the dining table.
