The Taste of Kolkata is a three-hour evening food walk in central Kolkata, West Bengal, India, listed on byFood and Expedia. The operator is not named in those listings, so the details here are limited to what the listings state. The exact meeting point is supplied on the booking confirmation, and visitors should check the booking page for it. The cuisine is described as Kolkata street food and local snacks, which in practice points to the fried, spiced and sweet items the city is known for, such as chaat, rolls, samosas and Bengali sweets, though the listing does not publish the stops or the number of dishes. The price is shown as about RM190 per adult on Expedia Malaysia, which converts to roughly $45 (about ₹4,300). Included items are food tastings and a guide; drinks beyond those served with the food, transport and gratuities are not described as included. The evening timing lets participants see street stalls and snack shops when they are at their busiest, after the working day ends. The pace is that of a standard walking food tour, with short walks between stops and time to eat at each. Group size and language are not stated in the listing, though English-language guiding is common on these platforms and should be confirmed when booking. Dietary substitutions are not described, so vegetarians and visitors with allergies should check with the booking platform before purchase. Because the meeting point is given only after booking, visitors should plan their travel in advance, as central Kolkata traffic can be heavy in the evening. October to March is the most comfortable season for the walk, with cooler and drier conditions.
