Restaurants in Kolkata

Two consecutive years on the La Liste Top Restaurants list (76 points in 2026) make Sienna Store & Cafe one of Kolkata's most credibly recognised Indian Fusion addresses, and it is easier to book than that credential suggests. The store-cafe hybrid format suits solo diners and pairs over large groups. Confirm hours and pricing directly before visiting.

Baan Thai at The Oberoi Grand is Kolkata's most credentialed Thai restaurant, earning 77 points on La Liste's Top Restaurants 2025 under Chef Klae Somsuay. The formal hotel setting and Thai Indian menu suit couples and small groups best. Booking is easy — a few days' notice usually suffices — but the October-to-March season is when the room is at its best.

6 Ballygunge Place is the address for sit-down Bengali home-style cooking in Kolkata, not takeout. Book for a special occasion or a considered lunch in the Ballygunge neighbourhood. Booking is accessible compared to most destination restaurants, though festival weekends around Durga Puja fill quickly. For Bengali food done with care rather than novelty, this is one of Kolkata's more reliable choices.
