Nizams
Bengal's trademark fast-food is the kati roll. No, that's nothing like a bread-roll. Take a paratha-roti, fry it with a one-sided coating of egg then fill with sliced onions, chilli and your choice of stuffing - typically curried chicken, grilled meat or paneer (unfermented cheese). Roll it up in a twist of paper and it's ready to eat. The classic, recently relaunched, 1932 roll house is Nizams, with faintly Tin-Tin-esque cartoon décor.

Oh! Calcutta
Shutter-edged mirror ‘windows’, bookshelves and B&W photography create a casually up-market atmosphere in this appealing Bengali-fusion restaurant. Luchi are feather-light and fresh lime brings out the subtleties of koraishatir dhokar dalna (pea-cakes in ginger).

Kewpies
Dining at Kewpies feels like being invited to a dinner party in the chef’s eclectic, gently old-fashioned home. First-rate Bengali food comes in small but fairly-priced portions. Minimum spend is Rs220 per person.

Aminia
This bright but old-fashioned budget eatery has high ceilings and more under-employed staff than there are menu items. Curries are tasty if greasy. Tandoori chicken costs just 25 per quarter.

Chennai Kitchen
Remarkably good South Indian food served in a stylishly retro-modernist diner style atmosphere with glass waterfall, designer steel servingware and glass tables inlaid with spice designs.

Amber/Essence
This pleasantly semitrendy middle-class restaurant has back-lit panels and triangular lamp niches, though their signature brain curry isn’t to everyone’s taste.

Bhojohari Manna (Ekdalia)
Serving sublime Bengali food, it was this tiny restaurant-cum-takeaway that launched the now-growing chain. Pick items ticked on the daily-changing white-board. There’s no better place to splurge on coconut- tempered chingri malaikari, featuring prawns so big they speak lobster. Sketches on the walls are by the father of celebrated film-director Satyajit Ray.
