For a dive location one will be surprised by the parked Tesla vehicles out for Indian fast-food. There is a meat shop next door, and a Nepali food truck.
Pros: Bengali foods like beetroot chop, kochuri, cholar daal with narkel and alur doom, phuchka, sandesh and more.
Cons: Koltkata goat dum biryani was rice ok, but lacked meat just leftover bones with fiber, half cooked potato and no egg. Even the one little piece of meat was under cooked. In this area of major biryani options how can they make such a blatant fool of customers, should have not ordered to go, instead should have had it served first.

Calcutta Chat & Bakery is an absolute gem! We've been regulars for the past two years, visiting almost every week, and it has never disappointed us. The food is super tasty and authentic, bringing the true flavors of Bihar and Bengal's street-style cuisine. Our go-to orders are the Egg Roll, Jhalmuri, as well as the Noodles and Fried Rice—each dish is consistently delicious. And to top it all off, the Mishti Dahi is the perfect sweet treat to complete the meal. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic and flavorful Indian street food!
Tasty food. Not a great dine-in experience but that's not the point of eating here.

Very good fish fry and mishti doi. Brought back memories of Calcutta. Owners would benefit from a more upscale location and better atmosphere.

Wanted to try different cuisine went to this Kolkata place the ambiance wasn’t good, it was an okay place ordered the chicken lollipops, egg fried rice and chicken fried rice. We liked only the chicken lollipops. I didn’t like the fried rice had no flavour very bland.

The puchka was great but the chicken egg roll was not so good. The chicken had no flavor but was soft and the cucumber in the roll was putting it off.

We were searching for Diwali Sweets and Calcutta Chaat & Bakery caught our eye. We visited them today and found the experience delightful. The staff is very warm and welcoming, nice ambience and about food- well that's next topic.
To begin with, we had Misti Doi (A typical Bengali Sweet Yogurt) and Sandesh (Jolvora Gurer Sandesh) typically prepared using Jaggery made from sap of date Palm ( or from Sugarcane). Both were excellent, but the Sandesh was out of this world. We did order 4-5 more plates of Sandesh and Misti Doi.
Next was Fuchka- (Paani Poori) 7 Pieces can filled with potato and masala and separate container for Pani Puri water. We found the taste to be amazing, but by same token, Pani Puri is a tough act. All the people have different expectations and it is difficult to meet them all. This is typical street version with mild masala and water. We loved it, but I am sure some connoisseur's of pani puri may find it underwhelming due to mildness. I would not want to change anything and every time I go next, I will be ordering Fuchka.
Jhal muri a version of Bengali Bhel was next in our course and we loved it due to its simplicity. I am pretty sure, this dish they can make it more spicier as they add thinly cut green chilies and just by adding more, they will be able to satisfy a large crowd.
We also tried Dahi Fuchka and found it little below par. Not that there is anything wrong with it. It is just that all the other dishes were exemplary and this was very good, so it scored comparatively less.
We also tried Street King Egg Roll and it was very good.
We also tried Calcutta Style Vegetable Cutlet (Made with Beetroot Masala) - a Very healthy snack. We did not buy this snack, but this was given to use for tasting by a fellow foodie AG who was visiting with his family and he forced us, with such an affection/love that we could not refuse. Thank you AG. This is the only time I have tried Beetroot filled cutlets in USA. If you are coming here, this is a must try dish.
This is a small place with a big heart and your belly will be thanking you.

Great service, really nice staff and food that reminded me of my childhood! Amazing jhal muri and chop .. wish I tried more of their food :(
I had placed order for egg roll, chicken roll and jhal muri. Though such items are rarity in bay area but the quality was not as good as an authentic one. Taste wise it was almost there. It is still better than nothing. In case you are craving for such items you should visit this place.
Vegetarian options: There a couple of items which are vegetarian.
Parking: There are close to 10 parking spots and it is little bit tricky to find a spot here especially when it is busy. You can park next door and walk to this place. Anyway somehow Google map is leading you to the next door.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is on the 1st floor and it is easily accessible through wheelchair

One of the best food outlets in the bay area if you like authentic Bengali food. It's neither too spicy nor it hurts your tummy unlike a lot of other similar eateries. The owner is a humble person and cares a lot for customer preferences. Plus they have good bakery items, again fresh and authentic. If you prefer to eat Bengali food prepared with care and orientation to customer preferences - this place is mtust visit.

What an amazing discovery, I am from Calcutta, so I am obviously a bit biased, but all things aside, the food is great here, quite authentic and highly recommended.
