Visited Aminia at new market area after shopping. The seating arrangement is nice. Its pleasant. The food serving style should have been a bit better. The presentation could be better. We ordered for chicken biryani, tandoori roti and chicken handi masala.I would like to recommend this place ❤️

Visited after a long time .Ambience has been changed drastically. Biriyani mutton was very soft and puffy . Biriyani was good but chicken chap served could not meet expectation.You can opt for AC or non AC sitting.It remains crowded during festive season.Located at a prime place.

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.

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.

Overall good quality of food (Biriyani) but not the kebabs (atleast i found the reshmi kebab was too hard) ... but the price is very reasonable... If you are in Kolkata then you must try the foods of Aminia bcz its a kind of heritage resturant & one of oldest resturant of the city. Thank you!

Review №26

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

Review №28

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.

Review №29

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.

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. 🙏🙏

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.

Review №42

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.

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

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.

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.

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...
