And if New Delhi is the national political capital of India, then Kolkata is the national gastronomical capital of India. Don\u2019t believe us? You will once you get there and see it personally. This city is renowned for more than just its Durga Puja festival and grand weddings; it also has some of the best bakeries run by the Jewish community, invigorating street food like puchkas to the iconic rolls, and traditional Indian cuisines like the famous Bengali fish curry, mutton curry, bhaat maach, and delectable Kolkata biryani. They also claim that Kolkata&#8217;s food is the cheapest and best in India in terms of quality. And while you may want to know the best hangouts for quality dining and wine, we\u2019re about to reveal the top five places where you can have a hearty meal and drinks without going broke. Let\u2019s dig in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manthan Shonghai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dining and wine at a pricey bar or restaurant is clearly out of the question for young or college students. As a result, Manthan Shonghai has introduced plain fare and affordable beverages, especially for the customers who can\u2019t afford expensive food and drinks. You can now celebrate a nice night out with friends without burning a hole in your pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indian Coffee House<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With its vibrant heritage legacy, many people even today regard the Indian Coffee House to be the best cafe in Kolkata. The Coffee House on College Street in Kolkata originated the entire cafe culture far before anywhere else, although it is not as sophisticated as the ones we have come to know nowadays. And, most importantly, the cuisine is both reasonable and decadent, even if the service is a little slow. However, the laid-back environment and aroma of fresh coffee that greet you as you enter the restaurant transport you back to the days when Pancham Da, Satyajit Ray, and Manna De frequented the Coffee House. Ah, the memories! So, if you&#8217;re looking for delicious meals that won&#8217;t break the bank, do pay a visit to the Indian Coffee House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sienna Cafe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re somebody who\u2019s on a health quest and looking for food with a higher nutritional value on a budget, then look no further. Sienna Cafe cum store in Hindustan Park is your go-to place for all your diet yet tasty food cravings. This restaurant has a unique artsy mood to it with a visually appealing and cosy space. You might wanna click a few selfies while you\u2019re there. The best part about Sienna cafe is its delicious food, outrightly affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traffic Gastropub<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This pub cum restaurant is the answer to the prayers of anyone who loves the idea of having good without going broke! Located at 27-A, Chandni Chowk, Kolkata, this pub not only offers great Continental and Chinese food but also very affordable drinks that start at Rs 50 per peg! Plus, its old Kolkata vibe and decor have a very ecstatic effect on its visual appeal. And you can hit the floor once you\u2019re done with dinner and groove to the music.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Chaiwala<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another one of our favourites on the list because of how simple the food they serve is as a complete appetizing adventure. And while we\u2019re at it, we might as well recommend that you give their chai and masala fries a try. It\u2019s out of this world! The exquisite meals and various complimentary beverages are reasonably priced. The snug yet tight space has its personality, but the overall convivial air is something you&#8217;ll appreciate as it adds to the overall ambience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum up, the aforementioned establishments are just a fraction of the many places where you may enjoy the cuisine, and we strongly advise you to try the local street food vendors along the roadside, since they are a staple of Kolkata. Dabbling and exploring is the key to discovering a haven for delectable meals, and Kolkata is one area where you&#8217;ll never get tired of experiencing or unveiling new gastronomical delights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of India\u2019s greatest cities to experience some of the country\u2019s best cuisines and street food is our very own Kolkata.
