Eating in Kolkata, an honest take

Every city has its food clichés — and the gap between the tourist-trail restaurant and the place where chefs actually eat is wide. We've kept this list to the latter: restaurants we'd book for a birthday, recommend to a vegetarian guest, or send a client to between meetings.

When to book

Top restaurants in Kolkata take reservations 2–4 weeks ahead for prime weekend slots. Lunch is almost always easier than dinner. Most kitchens close between 3 PM and 7 PM; the late-night exceptions are noted below.

Dietary notes

Vegetarian and Jain options are widely available across Indian and pan-Asian menus in Kolkata; vegan menus are reliable at modern places, less so at legacy restaurants. Allergens — gluten, nuts, shellfish — are best flagged at reservation time, not on arrival.
