Started with the pork steamed momos which were buttery perfection. Followed up with Dokhlieh and Jadoh (mildly flavored fried rice paired with a pork salad)- highly recommend this combo. Their pork ribs were also quite tender. I am not a fan of Akhuni but my friends attest that it was great with rice. Finally wrapped up the meal with caramel custards.

Best Bakeries in Kolkata to buy Christmas Cakes http://www.urbancrush.co.in/best-bakeries-in-kolkata-to-buy-christmas-cakes/ Fri, 24 Dec 2021 09:38:29 +0000 http://www.urbancrush.co.in/?p=1258 Christmas is incomplete without Christmas cakes and pastries! So here’s a list of some of the most amazing places to get delectable Christmas cakes from.

1. Saldanha Bakery

I have turned into a mad cake eater in the last two months. Discovered this place quite late and since then has surpassed all my bakery adventures. Sit at home at order whatever you like and you will never be disappointed. Tried 8 different cakes in a span of 2 months

Location:- Wellesley, Kolkata

2. The lalit Great Eastern Bakery

The oldest bakery in town has the celebrations rolling with its annual celebration of cake mixing ceremony. A festival that has originated from abroad and finds its root in the books of history, a cake mixing ceremony is always defined by fun, happiness, and a wait of serious anticipation to taste the mouthwatering cake just before Christmas knocks on your door. The mixing of plums, cherries, nuts, candies, and other dry fruits, with a splash of wine, liquor, rum, or any spirits, creates a scintillating and intoxicating aroma tickling every sense in your body.

4. Imperial Bakers & Confectioners

One of the popular bakery in New Market in town. With new bakeries springing up every other day in Kolkata the competition is now intense but they are lagging behind as they have not been able to upgrade their products. Yesterday had visited this joint for Rose Cookies. The cookies were of good quality & very fresh but other pastries or patties did not look very encouraging. They need much improvement to attract new generation customers. It is one of the Best bakeries in kolkata.

Location:- New Market Area, Kolkata

5. Bon Appetit

This used to be my favorite cafe. Been there many, many times. The Chicken Nachos is to die for, literally. It’s like heaven in your mouth. The Chocolate Avalanche is also too good. The place is very pocket-friendly too. Would love to visit this place again.

6. Flurys

This place needs no introduction. Been serving us for ages. Ordered Brooklyn Choco Cake, Lemon Tart, and Cheesecake. Honestly awesome taste-wise.

Location:- Park Street Area, Kolkata

7. Mrs. Magpie

While roaming around Southern Avenue in the evening and thinking to settle down in a cafe, Mrs.Magpie came into our mind. It’s a nice, cozy place with pink walls and nothing extravagant decors. But one will definitely find it soothing over a cup of coffee, chocolate shake(I don’t remember the exact name though), or a lemon iced tea(very refreshing).

Then, we took Smoked Chicken Focaccia sandwich which was served with french fries. A must mention about the Focaccia bread, it was perfect. I heard they had their own bakery and that they prepared it over there. The sandwich had a layer of cheese, too. The person who took our order showed a very nice gesture and he only suggested taking this sandwich.

The only thing we observed was less variety in the menu card than that available in Zomato. He ensured that a new set of menus is ready to be available soon, and due to the pandemic it is lesser. But they had tea flavors available with them. I heard about their cakes and bakery. But, already heavy for the day, will be trying them later sometime. Overall, our experience was nice, and can recommend others to visit. One won’t be disappointed.

Top 10 Street Foods In Kolkata You Must Try. http://www.urbancrush.co.in/top-10-street-foods-in-kolkata-you-must-try/ Mon, 21 Jun 2021 13:47:55 +0000 http://www.urbancrush.co.in/?p=1151 Kolkata – the Cultural Capital of India is a heaven for foodies and especially for people with sweet tooth. Bengali sweets are famous and certainly need no introduction, however; the spicy, tangy and absolutely mouth-watering street food of Kolkata will leave you undecided on whether you like the spicy Bengali cuisine more or the melting flavors of the sweetmeats. Add to that the traditional Chinese and Tibetan food that are found here and you’re spoilt for choices.

Here’s a list of 10 best street food experiences in Kolkata – 

1. Puchkas at Vivekananda Park

Phuchka – King of street food in Kolkata

If there’s someplace in Kolkata where each and every phuchkawallah makes a phuchka to die for, it is this. Among other Kolkata street food, the papri chat, dum aloo phuchkas and dahi phuchkas here are to die for! On a good day, you might be able to spot a Tollywood celebrity or two lined up for these tangy mouthfuls of heaven. Maharaja Chaat Centre, Southern Avenue is your go-to place here. Churmur, a cousin of the phuchka family is another delicacy too hard to resist. Combined with tangy masalas, tetul gola (tamarind pulp), mashed potato and broken papris, churmur is simply heavenly. Bhawanipore is another must-visit place for good, nay, GREAT phuchkas and street food.

2. Kathi Rolls at Zaika, Park Street

Kathi Rolls

Did you know the now famous ‘Kathi Rolls’ were first invented in Kolkata? This shop called Zaika owns the credit to the delicious stuffing wrapped in thin roti that is now found in every city. Though there have been variations and twists as it found its way across cities, the original and authentic Kathi Rolls can still be found at Zaika. For more lip smacking? rolls, try Nizam’s and Badshah in New Market and Kusum’s and Hot Kathi Roll in Park Street!

3. Luchi & Alu Dom at Fairlie Place and Stock Exchange, BBD Bag

Luchi and Alu Dom

Fairlie Place is the central business district of Calcutta and you can see people in formal attire pacing the street either on the phone or with a newspaper in hand. The street is filled with a string of stalls selling everything from chats to full meals. However, the most famous dish here is the Luchi – Alu Dom. Luchi is similar to the puris while Alu Dom is the Bengali rendition of Dum Aloo, and Fairlie Place makes it the best. You can also try Kachoris and Rice and Fish curry. Name any sweet, and the chances are that you’ll find it here. The Stock Exchange road is a great place to find ChillaDal Pakori and Dahi Chaat.

4. Ghugni Chaat at Dacre Lane or Dacre Street

Ghugni 

One of the most popular food of Kolkata, Dacre Street, also known as Decker’s Lane has everything you would want to try.

5. Mughlai Parathas at Anadi Cabin, Jawaharlal Nehru Road

Moghlai Paranthas

Rotis stuffed with generous amounts of Chicken Kheema or broken cutlets, onions and eggs, this is the speciality of Anadi Cabin – Mughlai Parathas. Thoughyou’lll find versions of the same in other places in Kolkata but Anadi Cabin serves some of the best and also cheaper Moghlai Parathas. These paranthas add a totally different flavour to the Kolkata street food cuisine!

6. Desi Chinese at China Town, Tiretti Bazaar

China Town

Once home to 20,000 Chinese has now drastically declined in number, however, it has not lost its food culture yet. Authentic Chinese with all the traditionally cooked food lures people from all over- especially during the Chinese New Year when the place is decorated with Chinese hangings and little dragons on the shops and houses. Chinese Breakfast consisting of rice dumplings and soup is the most sought-after Chinese preparation while one can also find the Indian version of Chinese. However, you’ve to be an early bird for this one. Visit the place no later than 5.30 AM, stocks last till about 6.30 or 7 AM. You do know that thing about how offers last only until stocks do, right?

7. Samosas at Tiwari Brothers, Burrabazaar

Samosas

If you prefer tea over coffee, then head to the Tiwari Brothers for some ‘special chai’ and hot piping samosas only they are Singaras here. Nonetheless, it’s a fitting combo for the evening and tastes just as delicious.

9. Momos at Rabindra Sadan Metro Exit

Momos

The Tibetan cuisine has always been a favourite in Kolkata,and Rabindra Sadan Metro Exit is one of the best places to have these amazing dumplings. Momos here are served with a piping hot soup and the perfect sauce for accompaniments- the very definition of comfort food! A line of little establishments dot this area and they are always flocked by students and office goers in large numbers. The momos here are breathtaking, and the low prices will leave you amazed and craving for more!

10. Mishti Doi at Balaram Mullick & Radharam Mullick, Bhawanipore

Bengali Sweets

The dripping Roshogolla, thick Misti Doi, innumerable varieties of Sandesh, mouthfuls of Rasmalai, unmatched Rajbhog, and the sweet Payesh; it is impossible to come to and not head for a sweetshop. Though these sweetmeats are found practically everywhere in Kolkata, Balaram Mullick and Radharam Mullick are nothing short of a brand when it comes to sweets in Kolkata. You’ve not Kolkata Street Food until you’ve visited this amazing sweet shop. The fusion sweets, along with the traditional crowd favorites are ones to die for. Besides this, KC Das, Girish Chandra Dey, and Nakur Chandra Nandy are worship places for Mishti when it comes to Kolkata!
