Food is not as good as you expect. I have ordered biriyani. The quality is below standard as per price. I asked for mutton kosa which is not available there at that time, but they gave me mutton chap instead of that, telling me that it was mutton kosha. Pieces of the mutton was very small. Tables and cutlery and crockery was not neatly clean. So, I would not recommend any body here those who loves food.
Fairly good.... is a heritage of the city... but now in Covid-19 condition not recommended as arragement is not a well precautionary. Also the food and service were not satisfactory. I personally didnt like the place.
Very slow response. Cold biryani. Lathergic staff. Reasonable price. Chaotic place. Does not look sanitized. Just a popular place with very average food.
Yesterday i ordered mutton chap instead of 2 pieces they give one & when I complaint the same the waiter said we have served 2pieces and even the waiter or the manger dont know how to give service and talk to the customer to resolve the issue.i recommend before eating check the quantity.or Nizam better then this place because here they dont know how to serve customers.
Yesterday I had a bad experience at Aminia Restaurant Esplanade. Staffs and waiters do not have any manners how to treat their customers. They are like tujhe khana hai toh kha nahi toh yaha seh nikal ja ya phir mereko koi farak nahi parta.After waiting for so long one of the waiter comes to us for taking orders but refused to take any. He dont wait for long and he leaves. On the other hand he comes with different food of the same table but this time of another customer (already the customer ordered something different).They dont respect or treat well to the customers.Waiters are unable to take any orders properly (jeta ami anbo seta toke khete hbe amr jiggesh korar dorkar o nei). That waiter is very much inefficient.One of the important part is none of the staffs and waiters are wearing masks atleast.
Quality going down day by dayEven a road side Dhaba makes better than yours.Disaster standards.Your Restaurant will be closed very soon because of customer dissatisfaction.
Its really one of the best Mughlai restursants in Kolkata. Specially there branch in New Market is the most oldest and biggest branch all over Kolkata. No doubt the food quality is superb. Its always crowded with people wther it be a weekend or weekdays. I had ordered Chicken Sahi Rezala and Tandori Rooti one of there best dishes of all time. No doubt the chicken tasted awesome its was juicy and tendor and evenly cooked from side. On the other hand the grazy as well tasted quickly good and delicious. I would like to suggest this resturant to everyone. If you are visiting New Market area for shopping do visit this place for lunch or dinner.
Horrible experience. Youll have to book your table by standing near the chair when others are having their meals. Youll get a nostalgic memory of standing in ration line.Food quality is tremendous lower class compared to other branches of aminia restuarant.Food quality is way to much down graded to meet your expectations
Been there many times....I just love this branch of aminia..Just love their biriyani ..On my recent visit i order for aminia special mutton along with naan ,mutton biriyani and phirini for dessert....Biriyani was as good as I got in my precious visit.not so spicey light saffron coloured rice along with succulent chunk of mutton and buttery soft potatto tells the story of authentic kolkata biriyani in every bite.Aminia special is a spicey runny curry made with whole vegetables like onion ,tomato ,carrot and potato along with a whole egg.it was super hot and was perfect companion to super soft naan.mutton piece was very soft but the size of the piece could have been a bit larger ..However it tastes damn good.Lastly the phirni was very creamy and had a mild aroma of saffron which indicates original saffron (not the flavouring substance)was used...👍Service was very good👍Staff were well behaved.
The quality of the biriyani has grossly degraded over time. What remains now is just the name. The mutton in the biriyani was half burnt and hard. I know many small restaurants whose biriyani is much better now. The indifferent attitude of the staff is also noticeable. Regretting for choosing an overpriced, over-hyped place for lunch already. If you are here in Esplanade, explore other food options(there are many). This place is not worth it anymore.
If you ever visit Dharmatala, New Market Area then you must come here once. One of the best restaurants in Kolkata. Delicious foods and large area that will definitely make your mind come peace after allday jostling.
Ate at 10 pm.. worst taste.. not expected this type from aminia.. very disappointed..Mutton in the biriyani was too hard to chew also the potato was under cooked.. The biriyani masala was also undercooked so gave a bitterness to the rice. Would urge to improve. 🙏🙏
I love that placeBut extremely crowded during any ocassion you got to wait for 30 mins to get a seating place and then combined seating eith other strangers
Unprofessional servicing and unhygienic during the pandemic time also.Food quality was not upto the mark
The reason I dislike this place is because you literally have to fight for your own seat and wait several minutes to wait for assistance, during peak as well as normal hours, you will also face issues with your order acceptance.I remember the quality of food used to better than it is today. The food was supposed to be far better compared to the other outlets as well. Personally I prefer the outlet in Chinar park.Really disappointed, with the hygiene and rest room maintenance.
I tried only chicken biriyani from this outlet of aminia and tbh I dont really liked that taste of biriyani , again its my personal opinion... I suggest to give it try ...
Place is good. But food quality just normal. Price is very expensive.
Fine dine in and dine out. Rate is at per. Standard of food is good.
Its usually crowded in the afternoon.. If u r visiting , make sure u go to the 2nd floor rather than the entrance hall . The 2nd Floor is air conditioned and its comfortable too ..
This is a very old and established Mughlai restaurant, specializing in Biryani and other delectable cuisines of North India, Afghanistan & Pakistan. Although there are better options available today in Kolkata, pertaining to food quality, customer service and more, but Aminia has etched a special place in the hearts of food lovers. You can come here to relish chicken kababs, mutton preparations, firni and a lot more. Prices of the foods are a tad on the higher side, when compared to the quantity being served. Recommended. 👍🏻
After waiting for several minutes and asking for someone to attend, nobody bothers to take the order. very very selective menu with high price. The worst part is without taking the order one serving person literally took away the menu card and placed it to another table. very very poor service. ruined the mood.
The only place where you get paneer in white gravy in the name of paneer butter masala. Place is very unhygienic. Waiter has their finger in the glass full of water that you shouldnt drink. Never recommend to anybody.
Biriyani, chaps and kebabs are good. Dont try the rezala (its not upto the mark). Kareems and Arsalan serve better Shahi Tukda than Aminia.
Dont go... Paratha is just thick nan with oil... Biryani is tasteless... Chaap and Rezala is just tasteless meat in bowl of water-oil mixture
This one is one of the oldest Aminia branchesBut I would say the visit to this Branch had made me disappointedfirst of all the hygiene was not maintained properly .The hand washing tap was not workingThe food was completely cold and most of the dishes were not availableThe biriyani served was cold and tastelessThe Chap was goodStarters was served at the last 😁The mutton pieces had no flesh, though they are charging heavy amount for mutton dishes
Staff was cordial, had mutton biriyani and chicken chap, the chicken was a bit oily but thats what mughlai dish is all about the mutton was tender and juicy and as a whole the food was wholesome. Pocket pinch 500 for one.
One of the finest biriyani, in the city.Authentic Kolkatas flavour you can have here.The taste of reshmi kebab is just to next level. Biriyani is very much light and piece of chicken is ok but not too good, but muttons piece is absolutely well prepared and cooked. Atlast the firni sent you to heavenly situation.Chicken biriyani - 230.Mutton biriyani - 230Reshmi kebab- 220(6 piece)Firni- 70
Worst people are here. Bunch of thieves. Please avoid this place if possible. Food quality is also not good.
Most bogous I have ever meet! I heard from my friends about its Biriyani. So I parcelled 2packs of chicken biriyani on 16.9.2021. It charges Rs. 504But when it entered to our mouth we realised that it is a bogus (most faltu) food we have never ever eat.
Awsam place. But food quantity is not enough for 1 persion.. Nut the renge is too much
Bad xperience....most cheap quality biriyani and chap with high amount of prices..dont try
Chicken Biriyani was ok compare to price per plate 250 inr. And service is poor .
1. The hype of Aminia is not reflecting in their foods.2. Cold foods and barely have meat on those bones.3. Taste is good, but not as expected.4. Stuffs are not co-operative, they are extremely busy, we ordered salad later, but they didnt even fulfill the orderSo, me and my friend went in between lockdown. So maybe my opinions are little bit biased.You can go and check, but before a large order, try something small to taste.
Too Crowded, No Proper Service, Only Runs On The Name And Brand, But The Taste Of The BIRIYANI was Average.
Wasting of money. Food quality is so poor...
Wonderful ambience. Very tasty food, service is good.Economical too
This place is nostalgic for kolkatans. But the test of food is not upto the mark.
It was pretty crowded due to puja shopping. Better to avoid during this huge rush due to the queue of people standing beside tables and food quality takes a huge drop during this time. In any other time it would be a increased rating.
Ordered mutton awadhi biriyani. Tastes awesome. The quantity was good too. A plate of awadhi biriyani is good for 2 people . Giving a less star cz the muttons were too chewy . Firni is a must must try. It was awesome. Ambience was good. But the serving was not that good. Kind of unhygienically done.
The quality has become worse ,,,,not at all like Aminia like ,,,,this brach use much oil in biriyani ,,, so check for other Restro.
Biriyani is very delicious but quantity per plate may be increase..
Mutton biriyani and kesari firni is a awesome combo. The place is spacious with good lighting. The taste is not doubt amazing. The piece of mutton is small it could have bigger. They maintain good cleanliness. You can try their kebabs. This restaurant is present near Kolkata Municipal Corporation Headquarters.
Service was third class, waiters behaviour was very rude, i thought beriyani will be good but the mutton was just nonsense n third class , overall we will never visit that place again in my life for sure!
Very bad attitude! also food quality is not good.
Great place to eat for food lovers. Used to come here with my Dad now I take food for him from here. Nostalgic, heavenly, authentic.
Best restaurants of Mughlai and awadhi dishes in new market
Good food quality...... definately go when u come
Avadhi biryani and firni😍😍😍😍
Food too good for last 30 yrs of my visiting...
Extremely bad exp. Neither staff nor food were good
Food is very good. Too much crowd in holidays.Need more attention to wash room. It remain unhealthy.
When I use to remember 2002, when my Father brought me here for a biriyani meal & an huge difference of taste adding with hospitality was observed in 2021. Unable to maintain that old and unique taste According to myself.
Just brand name left which will be washed away soon. Most disgusting thing is the rule of service. They have assigned one waiter per row. Now even other waiters are free, they cannot pick order. In the last visit we left the hotel after 30min waiting as no waiter came to take order.
Food excellent as always. They serve very fast too . The mutton chap taste unique (unlike Shiraz or Arsalan).My best pick is mutton galoti kebab and mutton chap and mutton curry (Aminia special).They can improve on the table hygiene .
Ambience was good but the service was slow and the quality of the food was perfectly ok I recommend people to go there
Aminia (The Original) is reminiscent of what Good Mughal food is all about. Unmatched taste with great quality guarantees no health hazards later. Have been eating food here from when I did not know how to Spell F-O-O-D. Must visit and seats in the cabin. One of a kind experience in this Modern world of eating habitats.
We went inside the restaurant and sat there for 20 minutes and no one , not a single person took our order. When we called the waiters for taking the order they simply ignored us. This happened for 20 minutes and then we left the place without eating and also pledged that will never come here and also will recommend others not to go there ever... Absolutely disgusting...
One of the best Biryanis youll eat anywhere in India. Had it last over ten years ago. Not an iota of change in that beautiful, mild, aromatic taste.
Everything is good..but they dont serve raita or have it in their menu. Thats why Im giving 4stars
