The food list in West Bengal is never ending: from Bengali delicacies like machher jhal and raj bhog to roadside favourites like phuchkas are a hit in Kolkata. And tea in Darjeeling cannot be missed

Kolkata is known to have the best street food in the country which offers a lot more than chaat; the kathi rolls are famous across the country. Located off Park Street, Kusum Rolls has been long touted as the city’s best roll makers. The egg-chicken is a must try. Eateries at Park Street are a hub for continental delights like angels on horsebacks (made with bacon and prawns) and the Iranian chelo kebab. The menu doesn’t stop here—loochi aloo dum, rasgulla, kosha mangsho and the grand finale with sandesh. Stepping away from the capital city, Darjeeling, besides having the best tea, is a mixed bag of Tibetan momos and tea, Nepali thalis and oranges.
