Eating and staying in West Bengal
2,213 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels across 293 towns and suburbs in West Bengal.
West Bengal accounts for 3% of every venue we hold in New Zealand, which makes it the 12th-largest of the 36 regions by venue count. Those 2,213 venues sit across 293 named towns and suburbs, of which 9 carry at least 40 venues and get a page of their own.
Distribution inside the region is relatively even: Siliguri (289), Darjeeling (194) and Kolkata (160) hold 29% of everything between them. The remaining 284 places average 4.2 venues each — a long tail of small settlements that we list on the nearest town page rather than give an empty page to.
The regional split runs 66% eating to 37% accommodation, against a national 66/34. That is close to the national balance.
577 venues in West Bengal carry a cuisine tag. Measured against the national mix, the region over-indexes on Biryani (5), bengali (10) and fried food (5).
Data quality varies by region and it is worth knowing where this one stands: 226 venues here publish opening hours (10% against 8% nationally), 159 list a website, and 60 record step-free access. Everything on this site comes from open data, so coverage reflects what mappers and councils have published — not what exists on the ground.
