Calcutta must haves street-by-street guide:

• Phirni (rice pudding)at Aliya, Bentick Street
• Steaks (with chilled beer!!) at Oly Pub.This joint is at Park Street.
• Kabiraji Cutlet from Regent (S N Banerjee Road)
• Moghlai Parota (mince paranthas) from Anadi Cabin (S N Banerjee Road)
• Phulkopir Singara (cauliflower samosas) from Mrityunjoy (Lansdowne)
• Double Egg Chicken Roll from Kusum on Park Street.
  Nizam’s is a close contender!)
• Chicken Rezala (East Bengali style) from Shabbir (off C R Avenue)
• Ujjala's Chanachur ( no comparison anywhere)
• Telebhaja (fried fritters) from Putiram, College Street.
• Daab-e-chingri (prawns cooked in a coconut shell) from Kewpies, Elgin Lane.
• Bijoli Grill's Fish Roll
• Mochar Chop (banana flower croquettes) from Apanjan, Sadananda Road
• Boudir Lebu Cha (This is the evergreen lemon tea.) Deshapriya Park.
• Kochuri & Torkari from Tasty Corner, Mandeville Gardens.
• Phuchka/Churmur/ Dahi Phuchka from Bilas or Boudi (Southern Avenue)
• Doi Kochuri from Sonali (Gol Park)
• Chicken Cutlet near Samur (Bhowanipur)
• Chelo Kabab from Peter Cat: This can't be explained.....
• Coffee House er coffee: try the float with ice cream.
• Bharer Chaa (tea in earthenware pots): on the Maidan,
  from shining brass vessels on a rainy day. This is also good at
  Calcutta Stock Exchange street (Lyon's Range). Laloo must have tried this.
  That's perhaps the reason behind the "kulhar" wave in Indian Railways.

Here's the Must-have dessert list:

• Mishti Doi & Rosogolla from Mithai (Beck Bagan)
• Norom pak & Icecream Sandesh (also, all types) from Balaram (Bhowanipur)
• Pantua from Bancharam
• Indrani from Ganguram
• Rabri from Chittaranhan
• Darbesh (Bengali ladoo) from Sen Mahasay
• Amritti from Bhim Nag/Ganguram, Maniktala (Jalebis are no match)

Here are some out-of-the-world traditional Must-have's :

• Aamer morobba - the best outside Gariahat market
• Kool er achar - the best outside Gariahat market
• Shukno mashla makha tetul - churanwalas outside all schools,
  much to the delight of the students and dismay of the parents
• Dulaler tal mishri /Dulaler hojmi - mind boggling and healthy too
• Bikrampurer kashundi - Mustard just pales next to this
• Machher kochuri – How bong can we get?!
• Churmur - In my opinion the best of both jhalmuri and phuchka.
• The sad thing of course is that it is unheard of elsewhere.
• Alukabli - Vivekananda Park or opposite Menoka Cinema
• Muri Ghonto (spicy fish head fried rice) - Defies description.
• Kumro Phul Bhaja (pumpkin flower friters) - In little Chittaranjan Avenue food joints.
• Kora Paker Sondesh – sublime!
  Especially the jolbhora talshansh in winter, oozing liquid palm gur!
• Bondey - How does one describe this sticky sweet delicacy ?
• Pati Shopta - A delicate crepe with a filling of coconut and gur
• Chhanar Payesh - Better yet lighter than rabdi. Anyday.
