Mainland China
Are you in South City Mall on the Prince Anwar Shah Road and Chinese food lovers, then you Mainland China can be the best choice for you? I love Chinese food always, here I’ve tried Noodles with spicy Korean Kimchi. In one word, it was ‘Amazing.’ Mostly I’ve liked here the warm and friendly environment. You may try Buffet here with varieties of Indian food at an affordable price. Sometimes price doesn’t matter when taste is beyond your thought. One of the best buffet restaurants in Kolkata worth trying.

Masala Kitchen
Let’s try something South Indian or Punjabi food style at the Quest Mall in Park Circus. Yes, there are many restaurants with buffets here, you can go for those. But Chole Bhatore at Masala Kitchen, I’ve liked the most. This food item is something like Luchi/Puri but jumbo size. Meat lovers you can taste many meat items here, and the tasty one is Kosha Mangsho. You’ll love the food court here for the most beautiful decor as well.

Jojo’s Restaurant
If you don’t want to be much expensive, but looking for quality plus tasty food, then this restaurant is a must-visit destination for you at Sudder Street. Here you can access free Wi-Fi with food. Many foreigners here around love this place to gossip with friends or pass the time alone. Yummy Mixed Sizzler with Sweet Lassi is the must-try menu here. Come on, don’t miss it.

Dawat Restaurant
Why don’t try some budget or cheap restaurants too? Yes, in Marquis Street there are many like that where you will really love eating at a reasonable price, but the food quality and taste have maintained too. They offer Bengali to Chinese cuisines, but I’ll recommend the Chinese one here especially Chicken Lollypop, Vegetable Curry with Mixed Fried Rice for dinner. It’s a good family restaurant to try nearby.

One more thing must order yummy 3-in-one Bhorta (Smashed Tomato, Brinjal, and Potato) at New Arafat Restaurant here. This mouthwatering spicy Bengali menu is the worthy one for all.
There are many restaurants here in Kolkata depends on your budget, area, and food choice. It’s not just about a favorite restaurant. Even you can have tasty food from many cheap Bengali restaurants in Kolkata. And don’t miss the Kolkata street food tour. There are many vendor food stalls here. I had Momo for the first time from Sudder Street. It was one of the tastiest food, and I enjoyed having it by sitting under the sky. Will you like to taste that too?
