After months of careful and delicious deliberation, International Institute of Hotel Management presents The Telegraph Food Awards 2026 unfolded as a memorable celebration of the city’s ever-evolving culinary landscape. Held at the elegant ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Kolkata, the evening brought together some of the biggest names from Calcutta’s vibrant food community.
