Nizam's - Kolkata

The Kathi Roll and the chicken kebabs are my favourite from this place. Visited after long and still, the roll is one of the bests. There is generally a huge queue for take aways but you can sit and have your food either in the ac or the non ac section. Roll price is increased to 85 now from 60 and the kebabs would cost you around 250 bucks.

Nizam's is always been in my favourite list from childhood. Whenever I am in Esplanade area I will eat the Kathi Roll from this joint. Latest I went here for lunch. This place will be always a busy one but service is quick. Ordered the special 1. Mutton Biryani. The biryani rice was so aromatic. Mutton pieces were so soft and nicely cooked. Good quality rice and that big potato piece. Never miss Biryani here. With this had 2. Mutton Kosha. That was so rich in taste. Comes with an egg. Damn delicious and mutton was so juicy. 3. Parotta. Crispy, soft and hot. Very reasonable price with good food quality. You can always choose this place for authentic Mughal and Persian cuisine. Parking in that area is bit tough but always available in some other streets. Dine in and delivery available too.

This is a restaurant with a legendary reputation. Located at Esplanade, they have been known to serve one of the best rolls in Kolkata. Now since the revamp, they have taken the game up a notch. They serve the rolls inside now as well. We have been there a couple of times and tried the mutton biriyani and a couple of chicken gravy sides. The biriyani is pretty good with the grains being long and not too greasy. The pieces of mutton are soft and sizeable, though the whole biriyani quantity is a bit less. The ambiance is nice and service is quick. But finding a table can be a bit chaotic sometimes

A legendary food joint, serving since 1932. Good food but way too costly. Yet their quantity is justified according to the price. Another thing to mention that they put too much kewra water/mitha attar into most of their dishes. Ambiance is very rich and beautiful to look. One could get combined vibes of Retro India as well as Mughal Gharana...

Nizam's is one my favourite restaurants in Kolkata since ages. I am a big fan of the Tum Tum Biryani and The Kathi Rolls. This visit I was disappointed as Tum Tum Biryani was not available on the day. But the food was as awesome as always. The Kebabs, Biryani, Rezala were mouth watering. Nizam's is always recommended and will be back soon again for some delicious treats. :
