Descripción del tour
Zakaria Street runs beside the Nakhoda mosque in the old Muslim quarter, and from late afternoon it fills with charcoal smoke. This is the other Kolkata - not the Bengali one of fish and mustard, but the Awadhi and Mughlai one that arrived with the exiled Nawab of Awadh in 1856 and changed the city's food for good.
We eat suta kebab, minced meat wound around a skewer with thread so it holds together over the coals; haleem, wheat and meat pounded together for hours into a thick porridge; and Kolkata biryani, which is unlike any other in India because it contains a whole potato - a story your guide will tell you properly, because it is a good one.
We also eat the dish Kolkata gave the world: the kathi roll, a paratha wrapped around skewered meat with onion, lime and chilli, invented here in the 1930s so that office workers could eat kebab without greasy hands.
We finish with phirni, ground rice set with milk and cardamom in a small clay pot, and a firni-shop chai.
Small group, maximum 8 guests.

Otras notas
Runs daily at 17:30.
Ramadan: during Ramadan Zakaria Street becomes one of the great night food streets in India, with stalls running from sunset until late. We adjust the timing - ask us when you book.
Hygiene and licensing: Kolkata's municipal authority suspended the food licences of a number of well-known eateries in September 2026 following hygiene inspections. We do not use any premises under suspension, we re-check licence status before every departure, and we always hold substitutes. On the tour: sealed bottled water only, no ice, no raw chutneys, no pre-cut fruit.
Durga Puja in October closes many eateries for around ten days and makes the city centre impassable in the evenings. We do not run during the main puja days.
Dress: please cover shoulders and knees; this is a conservative neighbourhood.
This is a meat tour with no meaningful vegetarian version - vegetarians should take our morning College Street walk instead.
Entirely on foot, about 1.5 km in narrow, very crowded lanes. Not suitable for wheelchairs.
