Local Eateries at Kolkata

First I need to confess that the idea of this reference section is not mine. This was started by my uncle, (Pranam Roy) in Facebook where he requested all his friends to name 3 of their favorite eating joints of Kolkata. He was particular to mention that we should not name the posh or expensive restaurants. Only the local, roadside joints that draws thousands and thousands of Kolkattans everyday. I have taken all of them and made a foodictionary for all the eateries. This is the English version. Click here for the Bengali version. You are free to add yours. You can mail me at: kolkatakuisine@gmail.com or simply leave a comment. I will add your favorite in the list.
