It is an Indian city that has been romanticised in films, literature, and short stories for its rustic charm, Hooghly bridge, architecture, and lively atmosphere.

Apart from street food and landmark Bengali sweets shops and restaurants, it is where epicureans can satisfy their craving for Indo-Chinese food. Note the places.
