- Yes that’s True i have never had a sweet as tasty as Jal Bhara Sandesh in my life. There is more to Kolkata than what meets the eye. If you have missed episode 1 of Kolkata series, you may have a look at it through Playlist.
Following are the details of the places visited by as part of this Kolkat tour.
Sharma Tea House: What an amazing kachori, completely different in taste and reasonably priced too.
I think i got little more excited after drinking kesar chai but that’s true i enjoyed the taste and chai after kachori was like beautiful start to the day.
Khasta Kachori Rs. 35
Jalebi Rs. 12
Kesar Chai Rs. 40
Address: 55C, sambhunath pandit lane, bhawanipur
Location: bit.do/eJvpg
Victoria Memorial : This is a must visit place, you can spend 2 hours here and learn about the history of Kolkata. I would suggest you to go here early in morning at around 10 am, so you can go along with the first batch of guide, you don’t have to pay any extra cost for the guide.
Ticket Rs. 30 for gallery & garden
Timings 10am to 6 pm
Monday close
Location: bit.do/eJvpm
Abar Baithak: More than the taste i enjoyed the cafe ambience, though taste was also great.
Fish & Chips Rs. 290
Address: 282, jodhpur park
Location: bit.do/eJvpu
Balaram Mullick & Radharaman Mullick: I did a mistake by not visiting this shop again, i wanted to get some parcel done for taking along sweets for my home but eventually bought sandesh for my home from Airport by paying higher price,that was obvious.
I am not exaggerating by saying that if you have Jal Bhara sandesh in Kolkata you will become big fan of this sweet, Not only that but more sweets as well.
Baked Rossogolla Rs. 16 per pcs
Jalbhara Sandesh Rs. 20 per pcs
Mango Curd Rs. 28 per pcs
Address: 2, Paddapukur Road
Location: bit.do/eJvpF
6 Ballygunge Place: Though cost of food at this restaurant is high but if you are comfortable paying high price for food you will be deeply impressed by the taste of Bengali food at this fine dining restaurant.
Mochar Paturi Rs. 200
Daab Chingri Rs. 525
Address: 6 ballygunge place
Location: bit.do/eJvpL
Hope you enjoyed watching this Episode 2 of our Kolkata, West Bengal food and travel series.
I am deeply impressed by the West Bengal food cuisine, It will not be wrong to say that Kolkata food is underrated… There is so much more that we missed, there wasa 2 day strike in Kolkata when we were there.
We missed those 2 working days, but yes we did our best on available time.
My sincere thanks to all the subscribers of visa2explore who met me there at Kolkata and guided me on tour planning… thanks a lot for your guidance.
Thanks, regards, Harish Bali
I am a Punjabi born in Chandigarh but living in Kolkata from past 22 years.. food and people are very good in Kolkata...
Thanks dada

I have never seen you so happy after eating sweets in Kolkata,Bengal has its own unique culture,literature and of course food,I enjoyed your simple and honest way of describing everything,keep exploring.
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Come over once and you will also enjoy the famous Kolkata biriyani that was brought to Bengal by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah
I am a north indian but I am living in Kolkata for many years...I am in love with Kolkata so much that I decided to settle down here finally..
Kolkata is less expensive than any other metro city of India and food is absolutely mind-blowing.... it's one of the great video on Kolkata on you tube
Daab chingri price 525 this is less price

@@nischintyadas7254 bro bengal is part of India. I am a Bengali. But first I am an Indian.
You are right. No country like India when it comes to food, culture and natural beauty.
@@nischintyadas7254 ami bengali kintu prothomai vartio india is best my mother land
I don’t know why but whenever I see your video I found you a very genuine good human being. Keep it up. Long way to go 👍👍
Arunabha Mukherjee
Very correct ...I too felt that
You are right, I have personally met him while in Assam tour. He is such a nice person.
Ghanta mera 😊
ya he is a simple person i subscribed him when i saw him giving food to poor people in one of his videos he seems a genuine simple man
I am bengali living in bglore, haven't been home in 3 yrs, seeing ur video brought tears to my eyes😭🙏

খুব ভালো
Nice
As a Londoner born and raised, but both parents from Kolkata, I assure you that Dab Chingri is hands down one of the best dishes you will ever find in life.
I am from Kolkata...am bengali...am proud to be as bangali...but when see the people of other place come to kolkata n explore it i feel this city newly again n again...keep it up... good show
Im from Delhi but like Kolkata city very much ... nice people, salt lake area, park Street, science city, bada bazar ... great 👌👍👍
पश्चिमी बंगाल का जायका बेहतरीन है चाहे वो वंहा की मिठाई हो या फिर खाना , जिस तरह वंहा की पुरानी इमारतों को सँभाल कर रखा गया है वैसे ही खाने में पुराने स्वाद को बरकार रखने की कोशिश की गई है , आपकी यात्रा शुभ हो
When I look at Kolkata it seems like they are stuck in the 70s and 80s. Everything looks vintage and classy
I am an Odiya. Bengali food and Odiya food are broadly not much different in terms of flavours. But kudos to the Bengalis for having preserved their cuisine and for successfully making it part of a fine dining experience!....Thank you visa2explore for showing the best of Bengali food.
Being a Bengali,,,,i had all the time smile on my face while watching this video.... Proud to be a Bengali ...❤️❤️
Bangladeshi not Bengali
That’s why it is called KOLKATA- The city of joy!
true
What a city.. lots of deficiencies may be but all are overcome by it's true character and food
Ohhh my god mere muh me paani ka jharna behne lga bhai saab😂😂 I think Bengali's are born to do only great things.
well love from haryana to bengal.i booked my ticket after watching this video. im not joking. because it really melted me from inside 😍
Well i am bengali....i would suggest you to come during Durga Puja in bengal
How was your experience in Kolkata? 😊
Let us knw ur experience
Man even I want to go to Bengal after these videos.
Legend says visa2explore is the best food vlogger
Edit: not only food but travel vlogger too
Assholes like you say that 😊
@@sunnyrajput2795 no u
agreed. he's on another level
Harish ji NAMASKAR 🙏.....you are really an innocent and kind hearted person.... I think so 😂🤣😂....I like to watch all your videos....I think you love Eating more than travelling 😂🤣😂....because I can see expressions of a child on your face whenever you eat different types of food. After watching this video I couldn't control myself and I went to Bengali Sweet shop and bought sweets worth 1500 rupees and enjoyed all with my family. Thankfully I stay at Mumbai and I got all the sweets which you enjoyed in the above shop.
Thanks for sharing this sweet video. God bless you and your family. If possible please go to Shillong.... we all will love to see it.
I had baked rasgolla in december 2018 for the first time. I was blown away by the taste. The taste is out of the world. I ate 6 baked rasgolla in one go haha
I love Kolkata very very much. From 1971 to 1977 and again 1986 to 2012 each year several times i went to there. I don't know why i love Kolkata???huge love for Kalkata from Germany.
Baliji, I am a Kolkatan Bengali. I accidentally came across your videos, starting with your North Sikkim ones. I live near the place where you had phuchka in your last episode. You always give a kind of an excellent earthy feel to your presentations, cocktailed with an earnest and easy going feel, which appeals straight to the heart. Great going.
Bali Sahab, I am Dr Shirodkar from Pune. I have no words for your episode. I really cannot resist the temptation after your hmmmm feedback on all the Bengali cuisine. I want to book my tickets to Kolkata at the very earliest now. Great sharing of experience. We all love your genuine and natural feedback. I am speechless but like to only say Kolkata is calling..... Regards Dr Shirodkar
You're most welcome sir. Please visit during Durga Pooja. You will have the ultimate experience of your life
I am Jamaibabu of Kolkata n have feel very very Jealous to you for enjoyiiig so much sweeeet dishes n varieties of fish foods 🙏🙏🇮🇳
really, I like you because you eat with hands, love from Pakistan
I'm Kolkata, love for Pakistani
Beautiful your expression.
@@dibasranjanghosh536 any reason for this love..have u visited Pakistan.
Kolkata meri Jaan..and add to that Harish Bali sir, episode had to be amazing!! I have been to many Indian cities...but Kolkata is right at the top in terms of food & people. Wish we get better leadership, Kolkata has everything to be at the top of the game again!
I was born in Loharu in Haryana and am settled in Kolkata for over 62 years ! Kolkata is rightly known as City of Joy !
Bengalis make the best sweets in the world
....aur khana bhi !!😘😘😍😍
They are very good in making sweet but not the best
@@ravidhyani3074 East or West - Bengali sweet`s the best !
What are u talking bro ?
Baas Karo yaaar... east or west India is the best..
@@BhagyanagarRE what`s wrong in stating the fact bro ?
India is a diverse nation, other parts of this nation may have other things better - simple !
বাংলার মিষ্টির স্বাদ আর কোথাও পাওয়া যায়না
I'm north Indian but I love W. Bengals culture and food.
Very good information
I told you sir that you will be amazed by the taste and flavours of Bengal. There is no doubt that West Bengal is the food capital of INDIA.If you come here you have to come here again and again for the food and the humble people.
Proud to be Bengali. Long live AMAR SONAR BANGLA..
I am from U.P. born in Calcutta and lived around 35 years very nice place in every aspect
kachhi ghani mustard oil is far batter thn refined oils..... #Bongfoods
....mustard oil is no. One !! Taste awsome, looks like liquid gold, smells fabulous, rich in vitamins, omega3 , affordable and above all IT DOES NOT BLOCK THE ARTERIES HENCE GOOD FOR HEART !!😍😍😘😘😘
I am originally from Kolkata but stayed in Kanpur & Lucknow for 48 years due to Government service but now back to kokata for eight years back. I spent my child hood to college days here.
I like the way you explore Kolkata food . Here you have huge varieties of food, sweets which are hardly available elsewhere and comparatively much cheaper than metro cities likes of Mumbai & Delhi. A poor man's heaven too.
Feeling so proud of the City of Joy where I live. Although I am a marwari but sandesh is my favourite.
Saurabh Ghosh Since I don't want to start a state war here, just get some knowledge about the contributions by Marwaris in Kolkata.
And please note I greatly respect Bengali community.
ALWAYS welcome.. BENGAL IS FOR EVERYBODY-- EVERY COMMUNITY,, EVERY RELIGION... BENGAL IS FOR EVERYBODY... that's the beauty of Bengal..... all are same
@@ashutoshlunia sorry for the bad words bro. You aslo contributed to our city of joy.
@@ashutoshlunia I apologize om behalf of that ignorant. Marwaris of Kolkata are no less than the bengalis in any aspect. You are like a feather to the golden hat called Kolkata
Mr Bali ! I am a Bengali born in Kolkata, early childhood spent in Amritsar. Now living in Ghaziabad near Delhi. I have seen people talking so much rubbish about Bengal , but really glad to see that you are exploring Bengal and it's specialities. I personally didn't know much about these foods. I love your videos. Please keep up the good work 🙏.
Jo gandu log tujhe rubbish baat boli hogi unko puch unka sahar la keya aukad hai..khas karke Delhi.. rapist se lekar kidney chor bhi hai..aur agar capital ko hata de..delhiwlaa to gandu ha hi..gaziabaad ki chod..up logo ki gandu baat sunne la time hi nehi hai
18:55
Kolkata is my HEART...I am delighted to see you enjoying my city... Take care..wish you a lot of success... Do visit Kolkata again 😊👍
@14:06 MishtyDoi is one of the best sweet dish a human being can taste. I did the same as he said - ate it after breakfast, lunch and dinner every day I was in Kolkata.
@Subhajit Dutta Yup.
Happy to see u like our bengali mishtidoi.. Bengali cuisine, sweets are famous all over the world. ❤️ Brother.. U liked it.
AFTER RAJASTHAN AND VARANASI I FEEL KOLKATA HAS THE BEST FOOD EXPERIENCE IN THE WHOLE OF INDIA WHICH PEOPLE IN INDIA HAD NO IDEA ABOUT TILL HARISH BALI WENT AND SHOWED ITS TRUE COLOURS TO REST OF THE INDIANS !
N first vlogger i think to visit kerala too....
Can't compare Kolkata is more about Non Vegetarian whereas Varanasi and Rajasthan will be predominantly vegetarian, moreover the food scene in Kolkata is influenced by lot others communities as well, which is quite visible in the variety you will get there
One of the most authentic and genuine food vloggers around. You deserve a lot of respect Harish!!
Keep up the stupendously superb work and travel. Thoroughly enjoyable
Sir ek request if possible then please visit during Durga Pujo you will definitely love it. And hope that experience will be your one of the best travel experience 😉😉👌👌
As a Bengali I re-lived these experiences. Great to know you enjoyed our food so much!
KOLKATA --THE CITY OF JOY❤️❤️❤️.
Dear Mr. Bali, Your presentation is much more than the bengali sweets of all kinds which makes the sweets - mouth watering.
The moment you taste the food is the moment when i actually like to watch you.
Thank you so much for taking us all around the diversity of India.
Dada
I am from odisha... but i love to kolkata, the people of kolkata are very intelligence and clever also kindheart.. you miss one of wonder the city of joy.... that flower market...
plz show us kolkata flower market... which at under the howrah bridge (under Rabindra setu)
Guru fatafati !! Nomoskar Dada your videos are "too good" as always, waiting for more videos ,glad you had a good time in Kolkata !
Cafe Abar baithak is about feluda, every bengali girls crush...... Lol. Our detective feluda is second best to none
We are bengali, we love food..
Bengali food rock,
Victoria memorial looks so pristine.....Kolkata is classic and full of culture. Planning to visit this April from Mumbai
Your expression resembles innocence of a toddler.
Ratan Behera well said👍👍👍👍
Yeah
Jai Jagannath
So true.
I absolutely loved this video...brought back the memories of the time when i was in India. Miss the authentic Indian cuisines and unmatchable taste which they offer. Your videos help connect NRIs with their food and it also helps us to know about so many unexplored places in incredible country of ours.
11:35 look at the reaction of Harish sir before having a bite of Sandesh. Please sir, bacho ke samne aisi cheeze naa khaya kro😋
I'm so proud to visit my city, "KOLKATA" and thank you so much for your valuable complements... like our culture, traditions, heritage and obviously food etc etc... lots of love Sirji...🙏🙏👌👌👍👍💕💕🌹🌹 :)
Excellent episode..Maine apko kabhi itna khush nahin dekha jitna aap yahan mithai khakey ho gaye the :-) . Please don't miss going to "Kasturi" and try kochu pata chingri . Yahan authentic East Bengal ( now Bangladesh) cuisine milega aapko which is different from West Bengal.
Expression while eating sondesh, baked rasgolla and mango curd is amazing...I wish I was born in Kolkata ❤️❤️
India is a Land of different flavors and spices found in different parts of the country . Every time we travel we are surprised by the flavors , really mouth watering delicious food and so simple preparation. 👍
I live in kolkata and now I'm dieing to go out again and enjoy the food without any tension of coronavirus
Miss those street food
Sir kolkata food is the greatest in India...Nothing can match the level of bengali food..... And you are as usual tremendous with your videos.... Love you sir
Kolkata sweets and non Veg and Delhi sweets and Punjabi food items make for heavenly food items... Nothing can beat these..
I love my city, Kolkata...& I can c dat u hv enjoyed d foods as well..😄
Kolkata is best always
@Subham Bhattacharya hahahahaha bhalo joke marte paro
আমিও বর্ধমানের বাসিন্দা, সব জায়গাতেই লুটে নেওয়ার মতো লোক আছে সেটা বুঝে চলতে হবে...এখন অন্য কোনো জায়গা থেকে আমাদের বর্ধমানে এলে তাকেও লুটবে, আর আমরা কোথাও গেলে আমাদেরও লুটে নেওয়ার চেষ্টা করবে...তাই বলে কলকাতাকে খারাপ বলতে পারবো না, ওটাও আমাদের গর্বের শহর...
"আমি বর্ধমানবাসী,
কলকাতা তোমায় ভালোবাসি।"❤️
I recently came across your channel, and this particular episode gave me immense pleasure to see a Non-Bengali immerse himself in the taste of Jolbhora Sandesh, Dab Chingri, Mochar Pathuri and Fish fry. Most of my North & South Indian friends don't prefer foods cooked in mustard oil. I was absolutely delighted, thrilled to bits to watch you enjoy our cuisine so much and promote the best restaurants in Kolkata. Thank you so much, Sir! I've become your true fan.
i really wish to travel to WB and explore local food... i loved the complete tour... i am travelling to Kolkata with my family on 29th for two and a h alf day.. this dec
ur expressions feel very real and honest .. very gud reveiws and vlog ... love from pak
Dear Harish - we are Bengalis - stying in New Jersey, USA. We have been following each of your episodes and have seen your growth in the extent you have traveled around India. Being from Kolkata, this series of videos showed the level of detail you explored each dish. While we are very sentimental about our food, you did catch it perfectly - Roshogollas were actually from Odisha.
We cannot express enough how deeply our entire family enjoy your videos. However, I was feeling a bit ashamed of the fact that you went to areas and places to eat that we ourselves haven't been. We truly appreciate the effort you have put in each of these videos.
One more thing we saw- being a Delhi-ite, you have a surprisingly open palate. After seeing your trips to places as diverse as Sikkim, Meghalaya, Kerala, Goa and Odisha (diverse from places like Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra), we are clearly impressed with how you have made extensive efforts to explore traditional foods and recipes of each and every place. In the US, we get a lot of exotic ingredients and both my wife and I are avid cooks, but seeing you going through each and every food, visiting kitchens and explaining the origins of each dish has made these videos our most sought after - and we have become your fans!
We follow a number of renowned food vloggers - Mark Weins being the foremost - and I can confidently state - you are on the way to becoming India's answer to Mark Weins. We wish you all the best and we will continue being your most ardent followers!!
Orissa rossogolla is different from Kolkata rossogolla, just like Darjeeling Tea is different from Assam / Munnar Tea.
I love my city very much
Food is the best
This video reminds me of my husband 's experience, he use to visit Calcutta before 2000 for official purpose. He use to stay in Maharashtra niwas, on Sunday he use to roam whole day , as you said skip breakfast, lunch and dinner he use to skip one of his meal and indulge in Bengali sweets.
I love kolkata 😍
Nice video sir 🙏🙏
Mr. Bali please do come to Ranchi. I am sure you will enjoy it
This is sweetest episode with multiple “oho” taste
I showed ur videos to my sister when she was at my place. She got really enthralled with your style and appetit.
Yesterday she went back to her place and sent me this text (while she was trying to search you on TH-cam) "Wo junior vinod dua ka kya naam hai?" 😃
Kudos Mr. Bali.. We love ur work. 👍
wow!!! so nice....
Kolkata is a foodie's paradise... Beautifully covered and sir, your expression is the best, also visit Flury's

Your videos are just great! I am from Kolkata now living in America. Haven't been able to visit in 15 years. Being a Bengali, I love sweets and fish and your video covered it very well. I am so glad that you enjoyed the best Bengali food dishes as much as I do.
I love Kolkata very soon I gonna visit. Very nice video. Love ❤️ all the way from Canada.

Sweet indeed are the rewards when you travel far and wide. Loved your experience with the three kings of sweets. Most awesome and most inspiring. Thank you, Harish!
As we are from Bengal we enjoyed our remembrance already tested several times. Again viewed through ur videos and descriptions. Mr. Raghunandan Biswas, u met at Victoria Memorial is my friend as well as colleague. But I didn't know he volunteers as guide there. Thanks
He is a very nice guy
Soon my wife, daughter and me will be visiting Kolkata for the first time. I was already excited, but after watching you enjoy the food so much, i just can't wait. It is a joy watching you enjoy the food.
Kolkata is emotion 🇮🇳🧡
I am from kolkata , mai bhi bahut jagha ghuma pad yaha itni sasti aur testy food kahi nehi mila , kuch North indian dish mujhe achha laga.
U r doing awesome work.
Keep up the good work, most genuine and simple reviews :)
Is lockdown me jab hum kahi ja nahi sakte aur bore ho jaate hain toh apke videos enjoy karva dete hain.Ek bengali hone ke naate main Kolkata series ko kuch zyada hi enjoy kar raha hu.Bas ab ek hi cheez ka intazaar hai ki kab sab normal ho aur Kolkata ghumne chala jaye.
Wellcome to Kolkata sir. Namashkar.🙏
Outstanding video as always. Your presentations, your comments and your love of food is so obvious. You seem so genuine; I feel like I am eating that food with you. I will never be able to travel to Calcutta and eat that delicious food; but you made me feel like I was right there enjoying those 3 desserts and other dishes with you. Bravo ! Love and respect from Pakistan.
Bhai mujhey laga mango dahi khatey khatey kahi tum ro he na pado Khushi Kae marey ;)))
I am from kolkata but now in chandigarh. I know every nook and corner you visit. Your videos are awesome. When you like a food and express your feeling it is automatically transmitted to us. We feel like we are present there along with you and enjoying the food.
