    YUM. I've now watched this tour twice (yours, and Nicole and Mico's) and I'm sold-- we've got to make it to Kolkata on this trip! (Currently traveling around India for around 3 months ourselves.) Happy holidays from Mumbai! :)

      Do come to Kolkata if you want to see the old India. It's not the prettiest but people are warm and kind and chill around here and everything is cheap even compared to other Indian cities. And Bengalis got some great food.

    Indian cuisine 5th best in the world in a recent survey. But then Indian cuisine is so diverse. My mouth was watering for the rossogollas and Sandesh that are Kolkata specialty. I liked what was written on the back of the tee of the tour guide "eat eat repeat".

    In Kolkata we call this type of food "mukho rochok" (mouth watering). The experience of water coming out of your mouth happens generally when young and you have no control. But here in Kolkata it happens even though you are an adult. That is the beauty of Kolkata street food. But Benjamin you haven't even touched the surface.

    And if you do then try to come to our village Kulakash, Hooghly.

    This street food vlog is amazing. I like the editing and the background music. However, I have a feedback for the Chef's Tour guide person. He's obviously knowledgeable, but he does a copy paste job, which is bad for a vlogger. Exactly same vlog was done by this guy for another vlogger and that's floating in UA-cam alongside with this. There are so many other alternate similar options of street food in Kolkata which are equally the same standards as the ones displayed here. The guide should work and research bit more
