Dont think Bengali cuisine is alone here. I am yet to eat a meal in the US that resembles an authentic meal eaten in the Delhi / Meerut belt.

  > Dont think Bengali cuisine is alone here. Oh, absolutely not. Almost every Indian restaurant is either Punjabi or generic South Indian food (e.g. dosas), whatever they market themselves as. Bengali cuisine just happens to be what I know and love myself.

      In terms of Bengali food? I can't speak to it too much, I had it once and it was good. It was East End Toronto -- Danforth/Victoria Park area, it's called Little Bangladesh. There were 3-4 restaurants. The rest of Toronto has a pocket for any ethnically diverse food. You name it, we have it, and it's similar to the locals. Somalian check. Indian check. Afghani check. Middle Eastern.. you name it. Korean.... There is a pocket in Toronto for each culture. "Little Portugal, Little Italy, Greektown, Little Bangladesh..." so on and so forth.

It was East End Toronto -- Danforth/Victoria Park area, it's called Little Bangladesh As mentioned above, Bangladeshi food is different from traditional (West) Bengali food[0]. So what you ate there was probably Bangladeshi food, which is much more similar to Punjabi food. Bengali food is an entirely different cuisine; there's very little overlap. [0] or even traditional East Bengali food.
