Steet)(Campari @ Gariahat & Nizam is a close contender!)
Chicken Rezala from Shabbir (off C R Avenue)

Ujjala's Chanachur ( no comparison anywhere)
Telebhaja from Putiram (College Street)

Pantua from Bancharam
Indrani from Ganguram
Rabri from Chittaranhan
Darbesh from Sen Mahasay
Amritti from Bhim Nag/Ganguram, Maniktala (Jalebis are no match)


I also add –
Skyroom's Prawn Cocktail &
Mixed Grill & Baked
Alaska or Blue Fox's Lobster Thermidor - NOT anymore.... even the
Mandarin Fish from Waldorf is no more available!!

These are unmatched:

Chelo Kabab from Peter Cat
Phulkopir Shingara: samosas don't stand a chance against these.
Phuchka: gol-gappas aren't a match on phuchkas.
Karaishutir Kochuri: a seasonal favourite, have it with alur dam.
Luchi: puri and phulkas - no comparison.
Alurdom: the world's best. Try the offering at Vivekananda Park.
Jhalmuri: a unique concoction, with nothing to equal it.
Telebhaaja: these and jhalmuri are like 'made for each other'.
Chanachur: many have tried unsuccessfully to steal the formula, MNCs
included!
Alukabli: where will you get something like this?
Ghugni: again, chana is not the same at all. (And mangshe'r ghugni is even
better)
Radhaballavi: try it with alurdom or cholar daal.
Chaanp: even Pakistani cricketers have sampled these, in Chitpur.
Rezala: out of this world, just out of this world!
Paradiser Sharbat: there is one which is green, and another, pink. No
college student from Presidency or the University has failed to sample
these!
Lere Biscut: needed to make the batter for chop-katlet. (Also phata-phati
with butter and/or cheese spread)
Chicken Kabiraji: an unbelievable variation on the chicken cutlet.
Moton Afghani: an equally innovative presentation of the mutton cutlet.
(Coffee House)
Dimer Kalia: again, where do you get something like this?
Kasha mangsho: it's become an institution now.
Roll: the ubiquitous mutton, chicken or egg roll.
Unquestionably superior to any variants in any other city of the world.

And also:
Coffee houser coffee: try the float with ice cream.
Bharer chaa: on the Maidan, from shining brass vessels on a rainy day.

And not to be missed in all this,
Pan unmatched, even in Benaras or Lucknow. Honestly!

The sweeter side
Roshomalai: a creamy, mouth-watering delight!
Jilipi: smaller than the jalebis and tastes quite different.
Lal(Misti) doi: is an experience by itself!
Kamala bhog: a pale yellow orb, delicately sweetened.
Notun gurer sondesh: a winter speciality available in no other city.
Rosogolla: simply needs no introduction.
Natun gurer Rosogolla: the latest innovation.
Shitabhog: pure white, sweetened to just the rightextent.
Mihi Dana: golden yellow, saffron scented.
Maalpoa: rich brown pancakes, dripping in sugar syrup.
Ranga alur pithey: another traditional favourite in winter.

Some special one's:
1. Aamer morobba (mango murabba) - the best outside Gariahat market
2. Kuler achar (Berry Pickle)- the best outside Gariahat market
3. Shukno mashla makha tetul (Tamarind with dry spices) - Available with the churanwalas outside all
schools, much to the delight of the students and dismay of the parents!!
4. Dulaler tal mishri (Dulal’s Palm Sweets)
5. Dulaler hojmi - mind boggling and healthy too (Dulal’s Hajmi : a sweet-spicy candy)
6. Bikrampurer Kashundi (Bengali style Mustard)- Mustard just pales next to this
7. Machher kochuri (Fish writer kind of thing)- Where else can you have fish in such an innovative
form ????
8. Churmur (spicy mix) - In my opinion this is slightly better than jhalmuri and
phuchka. The same thing of course is that it is unheard of in the rest of
the country.
9. Alukabli (Spicy mix of potato, chick pea, tamarind etc) - Another must at Vivekananda Park or opposite Menoka Cinema
10. Muri ghonto (Puffed Rice delicacy)- Defies description
11. moc-har chop (Kind of a patty made with Banana Flower)- A delight even for the staunchest non vegetarians
12. Kumro phul bhaja (Pumpkin flower fried)- In tiny little food joints around Chittaranjan
Avenue
13. Kada paker sandesh (kind of a sweet made with dairy products)- A sure winner, especially the jalbhara talshansh
with the liquid gur filling, which is sublime
14. Darbesh - Our own version of the laddoo
15. Bondey (little balls of sweetened fried batter)- How does one describe this sticky sweet delicacy ?
16. Patishapta - A delicate crepe with a filling of coconut and gur
17. Chhanar payesh - Better than rabdi anyday and does not weigh your soul

I would like to add here:


1. The China Bazar at Poddar cCourt in the breakfast market (closes by
6:30am) - believe it or not, Rs 5/- chicken drumstick, Rs1 momo,


2. Free school street / Mirza Ghalib has this Chinese Restauratnt - HOW
HUA: Try their Chimney Soup. Awesome.

3. Bhowanipur Gurudwara has a dhaba: Try the Milk Thums Up.

To this I also add:
For Bengali Food:
Kasturi in Free School Street or Ballygunge
6 Ballygunge Place in Ballygunge
Kewpie's Near Lansdowne Street
Bohemian in Ballygunge (near Bondel Road) : Awesome for contemporary fusion Bengali food
