9. Oudh 1590: Just like the famous saying “When in Rome…”, when in Kolkata, you should undoubtedly experience the magic of Mughlai cuisine. One of the central hubs of the Mughal empire before it was taken over by the British, Kolkata retains quite a few recipes from that era. And the Oudh 1590 is one of the best places to experience that same taste. With the décor matching the contemporary times, one almost feels transported to the past.

10. Aaheli: Another chain restaurant, this one makes it to the list because of its incredible fusion of two very different cultures, namely French and Indian. The dishes are Bengali recipes per se, but they are influenced by French techniques of cooking and flavours.

The winning formula here is the refinement of recipes that are already Bengali classics, adding a touch of nostalgia to the taste.

And that is saying a lot, Kolkata being the hub all things Chinese in India.
