Good place at affordable cost. Surprisingly their chicken dishes are delicious especially the kebab and grilled wing dishes. Take out is another option too. Air conditioned well maintained. Small yet cozy. Staffs are good.

One of the best and affordable places in Kolkata where you can gorge on beef. The restuarant offers one of the best Beef Malai and Beef Biryani in the city.We ordered Chicken Reshmi Malai kebab, Beef Biryani, Beef Malai, Beef Bhuna, Buttar Naan, chicken bharta, special chicken biryani.However, the chicken dishes are not very great. I will definitely not recommend the chicken preparations.If You want to go for beef, this is surely the best place you can find. Also, the restuarant ambiance is great and its cost effective.

Situated just opposite of Quest Mall....renowned restaurant serving mughlai delicacies....visited several times here but were never get disappointed....last time ordered Chicken/mutton spcl biriyani, Mutton pasinda, Chkn chatpata kebab, Chkn tandoori, Chkn tikka lababdaar & tandoori roti....all the dishes were light & succulent....moderate service & decor....only negetive point is the AC, not working properly....no side fans for circulating the coolness.

A great restaurant is one that just makes you feel like youre not sure whether you went out or you came home and confuses you. If it can do both of those things at the same time, youre hooked. It was a great experience, food is awesome, specially people comes here for beef, they have another branch near CIT Road Park circus but I recommend this restaurant because of its ambience and service.

A late lunch courtesy #biryani and #kebabs from @zamzam_restaurantkolkataHave been eating their biryanis for eternity. Those chatpatta #chickenkebabs were smoking hot with perfect char flavour and succulent meat. Definitely trying them more frequently.Have been trying to get their #beefkhichuri for more than week now after I saw it in @indrajit_lahiri post but every day that darn thing keeps going out of stock. Its like booking a blockbuster movie ticket in the old way. How does it run out of stock in 5 mins when they open online I wonder or is it just for takeaway?Nevertheless quite an hearty meal it was. P.S. Do try their chatpatta chicken kebabs - those 6 pieces of succulent smokey flavoured kebabs is a perfect starter #ondaysliketheseGod! I ended up quoting the Matt Monro song from #theitalianjob againThis song and the movie never seem to leave me.#AgantuksBasket #eatwithagantuk #kolkatafoodscene #kolkatafood #kolkatafoodbloggers #indianfoodbloggers #foodblog #foodblogger #foodbloggersfeed #kolkatarestuarants #foodgram #foodgrammer #mughlaifood #mughlaicuisine #indianfood #foodwriter #foodphotographer #foodpic #travelwithfood #foodaroundtheworld

Beef malai is always my favourite and its one of the best in zamzamButQuality has been compromised in this lockdownI can clearly see some dalda is the biryani which was not at all acceptable.Previously I’ve tried mutton as well as chicken biryani and it was too good.

One word: Mind blowing! The biriyani was out of the world. Loved it so much. The aloo was cooked to perfection. The mutton was well cooked and so soft. Lastly the biriyani rice waa so fragrant and flavourful that I enjoyed every bite of it. The price also did justice as mutton biriyani only costs ₹200. Ill recommend everyone, beef lover or not to definitely visit this restaurant.

Why Zam Zam? If youre looking for great Biryani, that probably youre if youre in Park Circus area, youve multiple reputed brands like Arsalan, Royal, Zeeshan etc.But if you notice in last 2 years every brand has increased their prices to sky high. Now every other Biryani is in the price bracket of Rs.300-450 for Chicken and Mutton both. Its not far away that a plate of Biryani will cost Rs.1000 or more.This is not due to inflation rather its because of high marketing and the brand name. They know people will pay whatever they charge. Hence its becoming luxury day by day.Zam Zam also being a reputed Biryani brand is serving good if not the best Biryani for almost 3/4th of the price and they usually keep their prices stable. Theyve good ambiance and some brilliant specialists to try.Burhani @ Rs.25 (4/5)----------------------------------------You dont get Burhani as a starter drink everywhere. Their Burhani is quite balanced served cold and opens taste buds.Beef Malai @ Rs.100 (5/5)-----------------------------------------------If youre coming to Zam Zam then dont miss this dish.We tried it with Tandoori Roti and their Rotis are quite filling. Brilliantly cooked solid Beef pieces in mild white gravy this dish is simply incredible.Beef Biryani @ Rs.130 (4/5)-------------------------------------------------Theres always something special about Zam Zams Biryani. Enough portion, good quality rice, brilliantly soft meat, soft potato and very prominent taste. For the price you cant complain.Mutton Biryani @ Rs.210 (3/5)-----------------------------------------------------Do remember they cook Beef and Mutton Biryani separately so the taste, fragrance and color differs little bit from their Beef Biryani. Just the Mutton piece could have been better.Mutton Pasinda @ Rs.230 (2/5)-------------------------------------------------------We did a mistake by ordering this dish, as the portion felt very very low. It was served on a flat plate, boneless keema mutton pieces in oily gravy didnt really impressed much.Dont know about others but increase of price of those big brands by Rs.20-40 every month has somehow became very frustrating to me. Once restaurants used to recall customers by focusing on food quality, but now a days it has become just marketing, blogging, and fooling. Hope Zam Zam will hold its purity and not get into this trend.

This place provides one of the best beef biriyanis in the town. Also not to forget, the Chicken Kabab Labadar is such taste, its mouth watering to be exact with words.The table setup needs to be better but there isnt any issues with the F&B Associates. They were quite cooperative.

Foods are really amazing even in a low price. If you want to try beef in Kolkata this maybe the best place.This whole beef lunch i got here is only for 230 rs!Ambience is pretty good. The place is quite small though. You may have to wait to get a table. Washroom condition is moderate. Hospitality is appreciating.

Finally had the chance to visit this amazing restaurant! ❤️😊Starters -(1) Chicken Chatpata Kebab (10 pieces) - This is a miniature version of tandoori chicken. The chicken wings marinated in tandoori sauce smoked in charcoal is perhaps the best starter on the menu❤️😋Main Course -(1) Mutton Biryani - The biryani had a sumptuous amount of rice. It had 1 piece aloo and a nice, soft and juicy piece of mutton!! ... The mutton was incredibly soft and tasty ❤️❤️😊 ... This dish is a must try! 👍😁Dessert -(1) Shahi Tukda - If you are looking for desserts dont even think and just order this dish! ❤️😊 Just amazing! A perfect ending to a perfect meal!! 😄❤️Sanitisation - The ambience is nice and the restaurant is very apt in maintaining cleanliness and COVID protocols! 😷Payment - Cash and Card are accepted! 👍Timings - Every item is available thorughout the operating hours of the restaurant! ❤️I have uploaded the complete menu for your convenience! 😁👍

Review №33

This eating joint is too good with their various tasty dishes. Specially the kebabs and biriyanis. I ordered tangri kebabs for starter, and I realised I have never tasted that kind of juicy and soft tangri kebab any where. Coming on the biriyani, i would say this place serve one of the best biriyanis in kolkata. Medium spicy, but with a very magnificent taste, their biriyani is a must try. This place is well known for their beef dishes. If you ever visit this place, then you must try the kebabs and biriyani, be it chicken mutton or beef. This place is a must try for food lovers to relish their tastebuds with a very affordable rate.

Review №34

*Follow kolkata.foodie.dibyajit at Instagram and Zomato for more drooling snaps and unbiased reviews*One of the best places to have Biryani. The beef and chicken biryani is too good. I generally do not require anything else as a side with their Biryani. However, I feel a chicken chaanp would be better to take as a side instead of beef malai. I personally dont like the sweet flavour of Beef Malai with Biryani but would any day go for beef malai with Paratha or Roti. Lastly, a glass of Burhani is a must have from this place along with Shahi Tukda.During the last visit, I ordered Chicken Biryani with Beef Bhuna and also went for Mutton Pasinda (as suggested by the waiter) with lachha paratha. The best mughlai food in this area.The best time to visit is 1.30 to 2pm for lunch and 8 to 9 pm for dinner as new handis of Biryani will be available during this time, for sure.©kolkata.foodie.dibyajit

This branch of ZamZam is located opposite Quest Mall and it attempts at getting a more diverse clientele than the original branch gets. Here, the air conditioned place has about 7-8 tables which can occupy around 40 people at the peak.The price is pretty cheap (though a bit higher than the main branch, but that is understandable due to the difference in amenities and service). Service is fast, servers are gearing up into their role.The food is a high point and is undoubtedly very good. Recommended because it offers excellent food at an excellent price point.

Zam Zam Restaurant, one of the best biriyani and moghai dishes in Kolkata. Beef items are also available other than mutton and chicken. Taste is just awesome (as per me). Located at Park Circus on the main road, easily visible. You can find out in Google map. Take away is also available. Its an AC restaurant. Very reasonable price with good quantity. Quality of the food is excellent..

Review №53

Zam zam is touted for its biriyani and it wont dissapoint you on that. It is also well known for its beef items( though i am not a beef eater), but that is where it ends prety much.I ordered Chicken malai kabab, fish tikka, mutton spl biriyani, chicken amritsari, tandoori paratha and Shahi tukda.The kababs were not up to the mark in taste and they were soggy(did not wait enough for the juices to drip off before serving), Arsalaan or Aminia offers way better kababs.Chicken Amritsari had curry leaves and dried red chilli which is a disaster, its a north indian dish which was given a south indian tadka.Shahi tukda and tandoori paratha were good. Their pricing point is easy on pocket and the portion of food justifies the pricing point.I was a bit disappointed with the dishes except the biriyani and shahi tukda.

Although the food was great but certain things are very bad. The restaurant didnt had any check for COVID. They are accepting any customer without checking and they dont care if you wear mask or not.It was more like a dhaba than a restaurant where people played TV on mobile in loud speaker, washrooms are not separate for male and female. And they are having people and dont care about COVID protocol for taking only 50-60% customer.The 2 star Im giving is for the food or else this is literally a roadside dhaba and Im not exaggerating.

Food was really mouth watering mainly the Chicken Tikka Lababdar @180 which is totally satisfying with 4 moderate size tikkas. The restaurant is just opposite to Quest Mall and Rs 400 approx for two. Zam Zam is famous for biryani we all know but the side dishes are so much tasty and the meats are very soft. Cheese naan was topped with a lot of cheese which I liked the most. Beef malai, beef biryani, beef bhuna own my heart.
