Bengali Nights Kolkata Food Tour with 13+ Tastings

Bengali Nights is a four-hour evening food tour in central Kolkata, West Bengal, India, listed on byFood, Expedia and Trip.com. The operator is not named in those listings, so the tour is described here only by what the listings state. The tour starts at 5PM at Exit Gate 4 of Esplanade Metro Station on S.N. Banerjee Road, a busy transport hub in the heart of the city, and moves through the surrounding area on foot with a guide. The listing promises 13 or more tastings, which places it among the more generous food walks in the city and means the evening works as a full dinner. The cuisine is described as Bengali street food, sweets and evening dishes, so the menu typically mixes savoury snacks and fried items with traditional Bengali sweets, though the exact stops are not published. The price is listed at about €34 per adult (roughly $40, or ₹3,850), and the included items are the tastings and a guide. Drinks beyond those served with the food, transport and gratuities are not described as included. The late-afternoon start is designed to catch the street stalls as they open for the evening trade, when Esplanade and nearby lanes are at their liveliest. The pace is that of a walking tasting tour with frequent short stops, and visitors should expect crowds, traffic noise and warm conditions outside the cooler months. Group size and language are not specified in the listing, though English-language guiding is typical for such listings; confirm with the booking platform. Dietary substitutions are not described, so vegetarians and visitors with allergies should check before booking. October to March is the most comfortable period for an evening walk.
