Kolkata, like so much of India can be a lot to take in. However, if you are willing to explore a bit you will find it to be a very photographic city. This view is from the minaret of the Nakhoda Mosque. #kolkata #cityscape #howrabridge #india #southasia
Very few places can maintain the consistency in their quality of food for more than a century. One such place is this one which not only gave #kolkata many of its firsts, but also ensured that clients stay addicted to their food. The famed mutton chaap, first made by them, is being cooked in their kitchen in slow charcoal fire #GoodEats
One dish, that evokes universal discussion, debate, memories and affection in India is Biriyani. While two major styles are more popular namely Nizam style of Hyderabad and Awadhi style of Lucknow, there are more than 30 varieties of Biriyani in India. Kolkata surely is amongst the top three destinations for Biriyani. And for me it is this place whose Biriyani not only weakens me but also makes me yearn for it everytime I have Biriyani elsewhere #GoodEats
