I am a hardcore Calcuttan. The whole of my 28 years of live I've lived is in Kolkata, except for last 5 months I am living in Andhra Pradesh due to job.. Watching this video, relieving the walks on college street, relishing Balaram Mullick's Baked Rosogolla, cycling around Victoria Memorial etc made my eyes pretty moist.... Great job documenting my favourite places.. Thank you!

Thank you for the positive views about my city. I have been to many cities in India but my city Calcutta is the best. Best Chinese food in India. Most of all people leave in total harmony . This city welcomes everyone . Come back again - you will love it even better during the festivals

Trams should be preserved In Sydney trams have restarted after several decades and they are a hit.

It's a city of contrasts. On the one hand, visitors and travelers love the city because of its old-world charm and the nostalgia it evokes. On the other hand, many residents have to leave for greener pastures because a metropolis cannot thrive just by looking to the past. Whenever I see videos like these, it also evokes a sense of melancholia in me. Great presentation nevertheless.

Loved the video. The puri that you had for breakfast is called Luchi. Kolkatans will be scandalized if you call it Puri 😊. Also the name of city is pronounced as Kolkata (coal-kata) and not cawl-kata.

Calcutta since British ear is the only city you will find with various culture & history it's carries, & architectural monument & heritage 💥💥

Park Street, College Street, Royal Indian Hotel's biryani, Flurys....these are emotions

Went to Calcutta in 1954; from Singapore by ship P &O. Remember banana sold on cart by hawker,two small boys with two stones making music and singing for a living.Resturant with fans was called aircon eat dhall and roti.Took train to Delhi on my way to my maternal village in Punjab.

Kolkata is basically a mixture of old and new thing.. like in south u can find colonial era building yeah skyscrapers r also there .. bt in the north part like newtown, saltlake.. this area is like modern architecture like smart street , high rise skyscrapers , big companies headquarters etc .. .. yeah i love my Kolkata ❤️

But people had manners no one used to break the queue. It was a culture shock for me. 😂 Kolkata is a must visit place for Indians once in a lifetime. Enjoy your time.

Excellent plus job !! I was there early February 2024 for the Lunar Chinese New Year celebration in Tangra Chinatown Kolkata. You missed that because nobody told you about the events on the 8th 9th February and the 12th 13th Fete at the Chinese school there in Tangra. Thanks for the video professionally done 👍👍👍🧡🤍💚🙏🙏

Apne zyada se zyada non Bengali food try Kiya..... Bengali food is very tasty that you couldn't eat even after coming to Kolkata....Koi Bengali 😂 bande ke sath ghumna chaiye tha....yesab Kolkata ka authentic khana nahi hai ......

I love Kolkata ❤️

South Calcutta is a place which has its own old charm and beauty ✨. Mostly vloggers focus on covering central kolkata like Park Street, Esplanade, Victoria and Zakaria Street. It's a special moment for me that someone has finally covered South Calcutta and North Calcutta❤ Your videos are really different and deserves to acknowledge :THE [UN]TRAVEL SHOW

Nice video bro keep it up 👍 love ❤ from jonai Assam India.

Nice 👍

Club kachori is just a version of Khasta Kachori that you will get anywhere in UP. In N India, its served with chole or a different type of dam alu (not the Bengali version). In Bengal we generally eat khasta kachori without any sabji.

After a long long interval watching ur content. Hills se kaab bhai plains pe aa gaye😂😂🎉🎉😮😮

💕

Calcutta is not a city it's an emotion.

we (our family) like to watch your videos and hardly miss any.. so when you released this vlog we were eager to see how you portray our city. A city/town/place/locality builds its own identity over time and to showcase that, one definitely needs locals who can tell the stories the place has gathered over time. We absolutely understand that this is your vlog, so your thought process & decision on what to and what not to show. We respect that too. But we can't hide but tell that this vlog of yours hasn't captured the soul of our city.

​@@THEUNTRAVELSHOW sorry to respond late.. Yes, I had seen that episode and I liked it.. you tasted the best sondesh in the world and thanks for sharing your view on Kolkata biriyani compared to Hyd, Blr biriyani :) since it is Kolkata biriyani I want to share a view, again :) (blame it on my love for the city & biriyani). Regarding aloo in Kolkata biriyani what you mentioned is indeed a popular belief - "Wajid Ali Shah didn't have enough money and had to add aloo to meet ends." It seems that most say this without trying to dig deep into the facts. Here is my alternate theory backed by two well known facts about Wajid Ali Shah. First Wajid Ali Shah used to get a monthly grant of 100,000 rupees, so his financial status (though not like the nawab of Lucknow) was good enough to provide more than one piece of meat in every serving of biriyani. If there is a counter argument that 100,000 was still very less, then I will point out that the nawab who was not so well financially, moved from Lucknow to Calcutta, Metiaburz with 1000 or more khansamas (apart from other group of people in different professions). If he can afford to employ so many workers, khansama, officals, guards etc. We can assume that he was also capable to afford a piece of meat in every serving for his team. My next point, Wajid Ali shah was known to have a liking for aloo. Some even say that due to some dental issue he had asked his khansamas to prepare a meat dish that shouldn't require much chewing. Thus galawati kabab or more popularly known as galauti kabab came into existence. So, if we add-up the no financial problem + liking for aloo and tender pieces, you will find an alternate theory of introduction of aloo by Wajid Ali shah in Kolkata biriyani.

The Maharaja Hotel where you had breakfast in the morning. I regularly visit there to have puri and samosa in the evening. You should try the samosa also of this place. You will love it❤️

The video was made perfectly. Explanations were given in a way which cannot be found in most videos even those with million views. Really liked the way you have narrated the vlog. Good one. The food in Indian Coffee House has deteriorated. Only the mutton sandwiches taste really good. The rest taste average, the fish kobirji tasted horrible.

I think u should also visit siliguri, jaigaon near to bhutan ❤

U missed on Flurry's Brkfst

It's the only the China Town in whole India if not in South Asia.

The one you ate first was Luchi and the smaller version one were the club kachori; I witnessed jo jaisa hai bus chal raha hai for ex Trams; I wish someone would had at least revamp and maintained those iconic and historic trams....dont miss the places of invention of kathi rolls

In witch language are you rocking?

The kochuri that you were eating, wasn't bengali kochuri. Next time you visit South Kolkata, you can visit Shree Hari Mistanna Bhandar in Bhowanipore, South Kolkata. You'll taste authentic Bengali kochuri with chholar dal.

Correct ward is under tone …

👇 *Promo sm*

Needs a major infrastructure upgrade, it's left behind in the 80s and sanitation is poor as well. That Will make so much difference in the overall experience.

You're showcasing Calcutta's food culture and there's no mention about Park Street...like ...seriously??!! As a calcuttan, I strongly protest this😡😡😡

Come on bro. There are too many places in Kolkata. It's simply not possible to cover everything in 2-3 days.

There would be many who would say you left out important places. So, please don't bother and just keep making sequels to make Kolkatans happy.

Nope..

Spam

What is not expected to look like? Even in current standard of world cities it is surprising that kolkata is lagging behind by 30 years in development. The same slums, dirt, poor infrastructure, crowd and posters , shabby electrical wires , lines, and billboards all around. It is very difficult to achieve this apathy and maintain it. Only the rilling party can do this. Kolkatan's like that obviously, that is why 90% people in kolkata vote for TMC. We have become used to live in pollution, crowd, dirt, noise and heat to such level that when we go to open and developed cities, we start missing our city. It's not the sentiment that we miss, it's our psychotic obsession that draws us to the dirty city.

Sorry, you failed to touch the heart of Kolkata. I have a suggestion for you in Bengali "Hete Dekhte Sikhun"

When you show sophistication towards food from eating it , then don't show up. Do some other show, where you are comfortable.

You Seem To Be A Nice Guy, Don't Know Where You From, However, Please be Informed About A Bitter Truth WHich Is Quitre Disturbing & Alarming.., Presently Kolkata (Please Promounce It Kolkata Instead of Calcutta And Rabindra Nath Thakur Instead of Tagore) Is Overcrowded With Illegal Bangladeshi Immigrants And Classless Indians From The Neighbouring States Like Bihar, Jharkhand, UP & Odisha, Who Are Changing Demography & Culture WIth Their Inherited Nature of Abusing Bengalis Insterad of Thankful To The Place Where They Are Residing & Earning, Which Is Real Shame & Damaging The Unique Charm & Character of Our Beloved City / State, Which Is Getting Worse Day By Day And Sadly It Seems That You Didn't Find Any Bengali (An Agarwal Is Speaking of Kolkata By Calling It Calcutta And Terming The Chhana & Paneer The Same) Which Is A Shame.. Anyway, You Have Done A Quite Good Job And You Were The Guest, As We All Know - Atithi Debo Bhaboh..!!!

The vlog is too boring
