Dustarkhwan
Reliable curries, piled-high biriyanis (Rs100) and vampire-repelling garlic chicken-balls served inexpensively in a well air-conditioned if none-too stylish local restaurant. Cheaper options next door.

Kuzums
Bengal’s trademark fast food is the kati 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 (curried chicken, grilled meat or paneer). Roll it up in a twist of paper and it’s ready to eat, generally on the street. Typical hole-in-the-wall Kuzums is well known.

The Heritage
The decor isn’t memorable and party-wrapped chairs will prove hard to clean but staff are obliging and the very reasonable 100%-veg food is packed with marvellously complex flavours. A former gallery behind hosts a rare hookah parlour (water-pipe Rs160 to Rs 230, mocktails Rs45 to Rs75) to have survived the October 2008 smoking ban.

D
Jong’s
This double-character restaurant is magnificently wooden-panelled like a Raj-oriental gentleman’s club with silver-plated cutlery, antique-style umbrellas and lazy wind chimes dangling overhead. Free nibbles precede the meal, but the Thai and Korean options lack ‘kick’ and teppanyaki isn’t done at the table.

6 Ballygunge Place
This sturdy but not over-formal Raj-era mansion offers lunch-time buffets with six main courses plus desserts, chutneys and rice allowing a good all-round introduction to Bengali food. Minibus 118 from Jatin Das Park metro stops a block north on Bondel Rd.

Riviera
‘Coastal’ cuisine picks the best from a variety of Indian regions: Puducherry stuffed prawns, Mangalore bhekti curry, coconut- flavoured Keralan dishes and Chettinad chicken. Vegetarians can order from the menu of attached Angaar Restaurant.

Bayleaf
Tibetan, Burmese and semi-Thai options bolster some imaginative Chinese cuisine like the delicious mushroom delights (half mushrooms stuffed with paneer, deep-fried and served in mild sauce). The decor is black seats at black-glass tables.

Fire and Ice
Self-consciously handsome wait-staff sporting black shirts and bandanas bring forth real Italian pastas and pizzas whose fresh-baked thin crusts are Kolkata’s best, though the home-made mozzarella melts in a rather odd fashion.

Jarokha
The thali is a good deal in this cosy, attractively vegetarian dining room with Indian historical-fantasy decor, reached via a spiral stairway from within Gupta Brothers.

Beef Hotel
If your stomach’s stronger than your wallet you can fill up on rice and veg curry for just Rs8 at this entirely unlovely, rubbish-strewn eatery. We didn’t get sick.

Classic sweetshop that’s now a local snack chain. Their Rs6 veg cutlet balls burst with flavour.
