Regarding street food that can be set up in Delhi’s food avenue, Kolkata is no less a competitor. Be it the ‘City of Joy’ treating customers with various chukkas, kathi rolls, ghugni-chaat, and kachoris, all assuring distinct eating experiences.
The other day, actress Aditi Rao Hydari treated herself to one such iconic delight of Kolkata: club kachoris served with aloo sabzi at Via Calcutta. Sharing her mouth-watering meal on Instagram Stories, she wrote, “Indulgence via Calcutta.” Of course, the appetizing kachoris in Calcutta style with spicy aloo sabzi did raise several eyebrows, but the thought of spicy mashed potatoes stuffed into chukkas can make the mouth of any food lover water.
Via Calcutta visualizes its vision to be more than just a street food outlet; it aims to connect gourmands with the busy streets of Kolkata. A chain that has promised to serve authentic dishes related to the streets of Calcutta, keeping respect for street food vendors who maintain the city’s rich culinary art and traditions.
Along with Via Calcutta, here are some places one should not miss while searching for some good Bengali cuisine in Mumbai:
