Tour gastronómico de las noches bengalíes en Calcuta con más de 13 degustaciones
Descripción
Prepárate para el mejor tour gastronómico de Calcuta. Salude a su guía y tome el metro hasta el corazón intelectual de la ciudad. Aquí el luchador revolucionario de Bengala Subhas Chandras Bose es más famoso que Gandhi y el pueblo es apasionado por sus derechos e independencia, sin mencionar su comida. La noche comienza en un pequeño vendedor ambulante que mezcla una de las mejores chicas tropicales del distrito. Después, saltará de un lugar a otro degustando una deliciosa comida bengalí: gambas cubiertas de fragante curry de leche de coco, bahjis de cebolla de un revolucionario puesto de comida, suculenta kosha de cordero y una variedad de dulces bengalíes, por nombrar solo algunos. Termine en una de las cafeterías coloniales más antiguas de Calcuta, donde los estudiantes universitarios cercanos descienden para discusiones intelectuales.

Itinerario
Salude a su guía fuera de la Puerta 4 de la 'Estación de metro Esplanade' y suba en un corto viaje en tren hasta un distrito poco visitado por extranjeros, pero reconocido por los lugareños por su cocina. Cuando desembarques, te sumergirás directamente con una lazo exótico encontrado en un vendedor ambulante local antes de saltar a un pequeño porro que ha estado preparando algunos de los mejores currys de kosha de cordero en Calcuta durante más de un siglo. Su guía descubrirá historias de la vieja Calcuta.
Visite los restaurantes de mariscos locales más famosos de Calcuta, donde probará sus exclusivos langostinos cubiertos con salsa de crema de coco chingri y una deliciosa mousse de pescado al curry cocinada al vapor en una hoja de plátano. Después de salir, subirás a uno de los antiguos richshaws, el único lugar donde todavía existen estos carros de madera en la India y realizarás un breve recorrido por la zona de camino a la siguiente parada gastronómica. Disfrute de un kabiraji de gambas en una cocina legendaria iniciada por un escocés en el siglo XIX. Calcuta puede parecer ocupada, pero su guía lo llevará a caminar por un distrito tranquilo y le indicará los templos y la vida local a lo largo del camino. Mientras recorre las callejuelas de la antigua Calcuta, probará deliciosas delicias, desde los bhajis de cebolla más famosos de la ciudad hasta picantes ensaladas de garbanzos hechas con hierbas y legumbres.
Pasaremos por College Street, donde los estudiantes universitarios pasan junto a montones de vendedores de libros escolares, yendo de camino a casa después de conferencias. Déjese caer en una cafetería local para probar una famosa bebida de sorbete de coco y luego pruebe las golosinas bengalíes en una dulcería cercana. En la descolorida grandeza de una antigua cafetería colonial donde los estudiantes están ocupados debatiendo, los ventiladores de techo giran sobre su cabeza, y los camareros sirven cafés con ropa tradicional. Esto no es solo un tour gastronómico, es un tour en el corazón de la histórica Calcuta.

My food tour with Avik was much more than a food tour. Avik is incredibly knowledgeable about Kolkata’s food and local food scene, but what made the experience truly memorable was the person behind that knowledge. He has a remarkable ability to connect with people across all strata of society, and that took me to places and conversations that a conventional food tour simply wouldn’t. One of the highlights for me was walking through the lanes of a residential neighbourhood and seeing a quieter, more intimate side of a city that can otherwise feel so busy and overwhelming. It gave me a glimpse of everyday Kolkata that I would never have discovered on my own. His conversations with the residents, shopkeepers and fruit sellers showed him as a son of the soul. I loved the multiple tastings, beverages, chutneys (the imli one!) and most certainly the paan++!. What I also really enjoyed were the conversations with Avik. They ranged well beyond food into philosophy, Kolkota's history, society and life. He has clearly seen and experienced many different sides of life, and that comes through in the way he thinks and talks. There was a wonderful intellectual curiosity to our conversations, but it never felt heavy - it was simply a lot of fun engaging with him. One thought he shared with me has stayed with me: “Poor men and rich men will never say no to what you ask of them.” The more I thought about it, the more I understood what he meant, and somehow that simple observation captured something much larger about people and human nature. The food was excellent, but ultimately it was the experience of seeing Kolkata through Avik’s eyes that made the tour special. I came away having eaten some wonderful food, discovered parts of the city I would never have found myself, and, perhaps most importantly, having had some genuinely memorable conversations with a fascinating person. I would highly recommend doing this tour with Avik if you want to experience Kolkata beyond the usual tourist trail.
I had a wonderful evening with Avik sampling a whole lot of different foods. The big surprise was just how much I learned about Indian life and Kolkata too - we went to neighbourhoods I would have otherwise not visited. If you enjoy learning about a culture through its food, I’d highly recommend joining this tour.
It was a very interesting experience! Our tour guide, Avik, was absolutely amazing! In couple of hours he managed to show us so much of his culture, made us try local food (which was very good btw!) and put a lot of effort into making our experience unforgettable! I feel like a saw the Indian culture from a very authentic perspective and it is something I will always remember. Also, Avik speaks perfect English and is super hospitable. Highly recommend!
Avik was a great guide. In addition to giving me the opportunity to sample a range of delicious local foods (all vegetarian to cater to my diet), he shared many anecdotes and introduced me to interesting people along the way. He's also a nice guy and easy to talk to. I would certainly recommend this tour to other travelers!
We had such a unique experience! Without a local guide you wouldn't even know some of these places exisit, or you might not feel comfortable (as a woman) to go. Avik made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Learning the history of the city as well as the little restaurants were highlights for me. (The food was delicious!) We left soo full and satisfied.
Amazing tour! Avick was a great guide with a broad range of knowledge and vendors! Great food and experience overall! Will definitely be recommending him!
Avik knows Kolkata in and out and takes you through all the nooks and corners of the street and history of Calcutta. Food tastings and the history behind it added a lovely touch. If you want to know Cal from a locals perspective then this is your tour. We were an extended family with 3 adults and 4 kids
Avik was very professional and took us to some interesting food joints which we would not have tried otherwise. He planned the tour perfectly. Strongly recommend him..
One of the best food tours you will ever do. Taste everything of what Kolkata has to offer from street drinks to restaurants that have been operating for generations. Best part is the guide Avik. His passion is truly shown by not just through food but his passion and love for his city. The stories and interesting facts of Kolkata through his local perspective, couldn’t beat that. Highly recommend to all and if you don’t end up in a food coma at the end, you’re truly missing out.
I had an amazing experience exploring Kolkata through this food tour. Everything was organized perfectly, and I got the chance to try authentic local dishes that I would have never discovered on my own. A special thank you to my guide, who made the whole experience even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing the local culture and food scene. He made me feel comfortable from the beginning and explained the stories behind the dishes and places we visited, which made the tour much more meaningful. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to India. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real local food culture and create great memories. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, and I hope our paths cross again someday! 😊🙏🍛✨
