Food was tasty and delicious. We went together with friends and we found this restaurant. The ambience was good so we expected a good food. And as per our expectations the food was tasty too. It was amazing. The quantity was satisfactory. To all the foodie this is a must place to try. Price is under budget so no need to worry.
The best biryani place in Kolkata! #5star
only this can compete with the biryani delicacies of Kabuliwala brand.
This was in my checklist for a longggg time and finally gave it a visit. Classy decor, comfortable ambience, family dining areas, attractive even for your clicks too.
ordered dum chicken biryani, veg mix biryani, spicy kadhai chicken gravy and their best offering : shahi tukda!
extremely delicious that you will remember it for years.

So we ordered this biriyani from india restaurant. With that we took chicken aloo. Well the overall taste was amazing. The biriyani was good. It was nothing special though. But it was not average too. Chicken was perfectly cooked. Place was cozy and comfortable.
Mutton and Chicken chap is best in kolkata,biryani also very good.
I loved the food.their take away process is safe and hygienic. Loved the paratha and Chicken Galouti kebab.the phirni was such a bliss.
Absolutely fabulous biryani. One of the best in Kolkata. You might have to wait a little for the AC restaurant upstairs but they have got kind of a wonderful lobby and the wait for the food is worth it. Food is reasonably priced if you compare the quality and quantity. Loved it.
I went to India Restaurant this week and asked for a parcel of mutton biryani, mutton daryabadi biryani, phirni and shadi tukda. Trust me the quality is awesome. Daryabadi biryani tastes quite different, sweet and spicy at the same time. Mutton biryani is the normal version and tastes nice as well. Phirni tastes out of the world. Just too good and creamy. Shahi tudka is awesome as well, maybe priced a bit too high. The only difference I felt - in the biryani they are using dalda and animal fat it seems, it sticks too much. Previously I am pretty sure they used only oil. Overall loved it.

Deluge on Biryani & Kebabs at India Restaurant,Khiderpore
Good food not only satisfies the stomach, but also the soul. The pandemic could take away all, but the zeal for gluttony is something rhat Kolkatans choose not to do away with. Kolkata has a huge array of diverse food cultures and Kolkata has enough warm bosom to accept it as it's own. One such phenomenal cuisine is the Awadhi cuisine which has gifted us the mild flavours of Biryani. Ask anyone who loves Kolkata, they will call themselves as a Biryani fanatic and all that matters is that lump of a gorgeous aromatic potato which was never a substitute of meat, but was added to enhance the flavours that people love gorging on. Since people love Biryani, the synonym to Biryani would also be India Restaurant.
Where? India restaurant is located at the Karl Marx Sarani,in Khidderpore , adjacent to Fancy Market.
What's it about? India Restaurant is a stalwart when it comes to its biryani and kebabs, however what matters is the hygiene standards being maintained post Covid. The restaurant has its usual temperature checks of the clients as well as the workers. The servers and chefs have caps,gloves and masks while serving or cleaning. The tables are properly being cleaned using the alcohol based solution. The entry of clients having symptoms of Covid are being prohibited along and no one is being allowed without masks except while eating.
What did we try?
Shirley Temple - This classic mix of ginger ale and grenadine with a squeeze of lemon topped with cherries is a refreshing mocktail.
Deep Blue Sea - Come swim in the beautiful tipsy ocean with this Deep Blue Sea. Deliciously cool fruity drink made with Blue Curacao and 7 up with a dash of lime.
Galawati Kebab with Lucknowi Paratha - The famous Lucknowi Paratha or Ulte Tawe ka Paratha is generally savoured with Lucknow's favourite melt-in-the-mouth Galouti Kebabs or Galawati Kebab. Galwat or galouti kebab is so called as the raw papaya paste added to these kebab make it so tender that it melts in mouth. Raw papaya acts as a meat tenderizer and also adds to the flavour of these kebabs. And the perfect balance of 40-50 odd spices make it even more flavoursome.
Awadhi Biryani - This aromatic, light, mild and a subtle flavored Awadhi dum biryani made with mutton. The slow cooked sublime flavours all the way from Lucknow gives the amazingness of earthern pot it is made in.
Shahi Tukda - This royal dessert straight from the culinary utopia of Hyderabad isn made by deep frying the bread soaked in sugar syrup, and drizzled with thick luscious rabdi.
Phirni - This chilled ground rice kheer with the addition of saffron strands which adds to the nicest taste and aroma to the dish.
Hospitality industry is taking a leap forward making in making lives easy post the Covid scare. Let's get accustomed and break into the "New Normal".
Cheers!

Quintessential Biryani & Kebabs maintaining all hygiene & safety measures @ India Restaurant.!
There is something about Biryani, a one pot meal which has always made us succumb to its temptations and making us surrender to its beckoning; an ultimate enlightenment for a glutton, falling prey to its aroma and surrendering to its flavour profiles. What remains debatable though, is the fine line of difference between a Biryani and a Pulao/Pilaf, something which is still considered to be of utmost mystery among gastronomists. Truly giving meaning to the phrase of a ‘diversified country’, the taste and make of a Biryani also gets varied as you move from one state to another in this country. What remains uncontested though, is the very essence of a Biryani in itself.
Kolkata Biryani as such has always been close to our heart. Subtle and light spices giving meaning to our flavour palettes, with a simple addition of our beloved potato, and sometimes may be throwing in an egg to complete the meal. India Restaurant has always been a flagbearer of holding the standards high, by dishing out some amazing varieties of Biryanis cooked by their experts in the kitchen. Located near Fancy Market in Khidderpore, a tall multi-storied building now stands, to offer their patrons a sense of fine dining, apart from a regular walk-in concept, if you just prefer the hustle and bustle of the regular flees.
A quick visit post the lockdown session, it was quite a treat to the eyes indulging in those quintessential flavours, along with the additional assurance of a safe and hygienic surroundings maintained by the management. Head caps, disposable gloves and regular temperature checks was a treat to the eyes but perhaps more satisfaction to the discerning brain caught in the concerns of the ongoing scare. The tables are kept apart, maintaining strict distance norms. What remained unchanged were the flavours we flung our way into, all the way from the other side of this city. Some quick Biryani, melting Kebabs, refreshing mocktails and sumptuous desserts literally won our hearts over.
The Awadhi Biryani was subtle, honoring the spices and lineages of our very own Kolkata Biryani, and as the legend goes of being the origin to what we hold so dear to our heart. Quantity sufficient for 2 heads, this comprised of some good 4 portions of Mutton of varying sizes. The only modification to this Biryani was the addition of the succulent potatoes, something which has become an indispensable portion of the heritage and culture of the Biryani scene in Kolkata. And then there were the fried onions, which imparted a slight sweet texture over the rustic flavours of the Mutton and the decadent aromas of the potatoes.
The Galawati Kebabs were a serious throwback to the food scenes at Lucknow. Soft, melt in the mouth kebabs, with a mix of countless spices. Some say it is well around 40/50 easily, the secret to which is known to a very few. Quite hard and difficult to the get the balance right, which otherwise would make these Kebabs very coarse for our palettes to digest the flavours. Squeeze in a dash of lime, and scoop a portion of these kebabs onto the flaky Lucknowi Paratha or the Ulte Tawa ka Paratha. A serene and sublime experience, it is very hard to describe how one feels, other than passing on the torch of beckoning to someone else reading this pen down of the divine experience.
Some quick mocktails on the likes of Shirley Temple and Deep Blue Sea, before finishing our meal with Firni and Sahi Tukda, the latter of which has been my favorite since ages now. The perfect balance of sweetness, not overdoing on the frying part; this sweet dish can transport you any day straight to heaven. With two souls walking in with a lot of concerns relating to hygiene and safety factors, what came out were two gluttons satisfied with the meal, slowly caressing their tummies, eagerly awaiting the next visit!

The food at this restaurant is really delicious. The restaurant has a total of 3 floors and all the floors have table service. The staff were very polite , cordial and well behaved and also very helpful.
Now coming to the food items we tried -
1. Mutton Galawti Kebab
2. Chicken Tikka Kebab
3. Mutton Special Biryani
4. Mutton Kacchi Biriyani
5. Chicken Kashmiri
6. Firni.
All the food items were mouth watering. The mutton and chicken pieces were really fresh and juicy and very soft. The Mutton Kacchi Biriyani and Mutton Galawti Kebab are the signature food items in this restaurant.
One can fill his or her appetite at a reasonable price. The quality and quantity of the food items are more than sufficient and the price for the food items are really worth it !! The biriyani of this India Restaurant is the best biriyani in Kolkata.
Overall, it's a very nice restaurant both from the food and the ambience perspective. It's a highly recommended restaurant !! Do visit this place, one will not regret it . I personally really liked the restaurant.
One of the favourite places for biriyani lovers of Kolkata. Normal biriyani and Dariyabadi biriyani both are good. Other food items are also decent. Staffs are well behaved.
Cons: Their price seems high considering they are charging premium for their popularity. Bike parking is available but car parking is tricky. You can paid park on both side of the road subject to availability.

Nice food... Good test... A we'll maintain atmosphere.... Perfect place as a family restaurant.
In this Puja we went there to have our dinner. We ordered Mutton Biryani and Mutton Galauti Kabab. The prices were decent according to the atmosphere and service. Now let me come to the taste of the food. I would say the biriyani is one of the best biriyani of Kolkata, the piece of mutton was really soft. On the other hand there was a complimentary Paratha with Galauti Kabab, and it was too delicious. I'll definitely recommend everyone to go there and enjoy your food, especially the biriyani and the Galauti Kabab.

One of the best biryani and mughlai food serving destination in Kolkata. The restaurant is just beside the fancy market at khidirpur. There is ample car parking facility available just outside the restaurant. The restaurant is basically spread across the building that gives enough space for 100 people approx to dine at the same time. But still during rush hours you might have to wait.
Now coming to the atmosphere here. When you enter the ground floor of the restaurant you will find yourself in a typical sir and dine facility. There is one ac hall also where you can have the comfort of sitting in ac and having food. But the main attraction lies when you are sitting in the mezzanine or the 1st floor. The entrance and the whole stairs is well decorated and the sitting area also gives you a feel of fine dining.
The staff are courteous enough to smile and greet when you enter or leave the restaurant. The waiters are well informative about the food and the portions that they suggest you the right food combinations.
Now coming to the food. As I said this is one of Kolkata's best mughlai food and biryani destinations. They serve great biryani. The mutton biryani is typical Kolkata style biryani with a potato served with a piece of mutton and flavoured rice. The taste was great. Also they serve one biryani the kachhi biryani which I ordered was great. The rice was aromatic and spicy. The taste was rich and you can feel why this is called the kachhi biryani. The kebabs are also very tender and soft. Ordered a half portion of galwati kebab which was of great taste and was served with 2 portions of parathas.
As a whole the experience was good enough to visit them another time.
The food was delicious, the ambience was attractive, I ordered chicken reshmi kebab, special chicken Biryani, laccha paratha, chicken, butter masala and firni. I wanted to order dark knight ice cream but it was not available. Though food pricing is quite high, the taste is amazing.
The restaurant is located in two locations, that is Khidderpore and Kaikhali.
The Kacchi Biriyani is unique here and amazing, also this gets over really fast!
The cheese kabab is amazing as well, the malai kabab is amazing as well.
Not to forget the biryani too!
Yummy food.. Biriyani is best.. Must try their galauti kebabs with paratha..
The ambience, service, food everything was best. Price was almost ok. But the kacchi biriani was not that good. It was little bit sweetened. I like spicy biriani so I didn't like it. But finni, gajar halua, mock tails, kebabs were la-jabab 👌
