Kolkata Katirol's original and Park Street old shops
Kolkata, the capital of former British India, is the birthplace of Katirol and a gastronomic city where Mughal, Bengali, and European cuisines blend together. Long-standing establishments, such as the original Katirol restaurant Nijams and Peter Kat of Chelo Kebab, are concentrated in the area from Park Street to Newmarket, making it possible to go on a walking tour. Check the meter for yellow Ambassador taxis, and the standard biryani is the Kolkata style (including potatoes and eggs).

The legend of Park Street, Cello Kebab (butter rice + kebab) is my top pick. Reservations are not accepted, so waiting in line before opening is a given.
