Try Something New And Exciting By Checking Out These Places That Serve Bengali Food in Chennai

West Bengal is one of the most diverse parts of the country with a vast and interesting cuisine that covers all kinds of dishes, using various different ingredients. Mostly known for their kati rolls, West Bengal has so much more to offer in terms of fish dishes as well as spicy food and elaborate dessert. With proximity to the North East and China, there are a lot of immigrants who have set up home in West Bengal, which lends to the multi-cuisine offerings of the city.
