Review Saima - Kolkata (Calcutta)

Asif Khan Online
Chicken biryani cost 160 per plate, quantity good for one person but don't have taste of chicken 🍗 piece. I mean no masala on marinate. Rest is good to go
Souvik Bose
Nice taste of food, it's my childhood favourite restaurant and I can't still get over it after 27years. Biriyani tastes really well, try once and you feel it.
Avijit Sur
Good tasty foods are available here. Place is very neat and clean. Ground floor is non-airconditioned part and the first floor is air conditioned. First floor is a bit congested though with limited seats. Prices of all food items are very reasonable. Their mutton biryani and kathi kababs are very delicious and tasty. Other mughlai dishes are also very delicious. Other than mughlai dishes you can have veg and non-veg thalis as daily lunch. Parathas and roties are also available. They also serve good quality egg-rolls and chicken rolls from their ground floor counter. You can taste it for a quick bite. Staffs are well behaved. But due space constraints it gets crowded at lunch time. Better keep some time in hand if you are planning to visit at noon.

Cheap midday office thali specials. Mutton liver, chicken tikka kabab and laccha paratha are excellent
Rojalin Ojha
Istyq is such a nice guy and good surviving
George Mandal
Food was Decent with no hype in price ₹₹ compared to others in that particular locality, also the service was good. Definitely a family friendly restaurant. Overall a good experience. You should definitely give it a try.
Susmita Das
Biriyani tested good. Special mutton biryani having 2 pcs of decent size mutton 1 pc Big aloo and 1 pc egg and generous amount of flavourful rice.

I often visit Saima near Ho Chi Min Sarani Kolkata.Nice place. Quality of food is always awesome.Saima special Mutton is one of the best and if you are going for lunch then you may try Saima. Don't forget to order Dal.
Gourab dutta
Very bad food, they give us yesterday's food. Totally disappointed 😔☹️
Anuvab Saha
A Very Good Pocket Friendly Restaurant. Options for both AC and Non AC. Food is also very good quality!! Egg Biriani and Chicken Butter Masala is a Must Try It's Tremendous Good!!
Md Safee Uzzama
Good and reasonable cost ... Food is also tasty .. I like the thaali's of Veg and non veg .. which is affordable and tasty
Avik Mukherjee
This place is famous for all Chinese and Mughal food, but their speciality is their rolls, highly recommended for all who are looking for good roll in kolkata at affordable price, this place is very near to MAIDAN METRO well connected by bus as well, very near to THE 42 and National insurance office. Recommended for all but specially ROLL LOVERS....
Subham Kadam
Food is luzzezzzz and🤤 sweet I love it I come once more😄
Pujasree Das
Received a staled phirni. How many days old they can only tell. Didn't expect this from Saima, as I was a loyal customer of Saima. Today you lost a loyal customer. You could have simply denied the dish rather sending the slated phirni.
Simon Peter
Stale Chicken and Mutton biryani. It tasted stale and sour .Smelled stale when it arrived. Potato pieces had black spots on it and meat pieces were hard and over cooked. Had to throw away most of it. What a disgusting and horrible experience. Cheap Resturant with no morals.disposing stale food to customers.

Stale biryani. It tasted stale and sour .Smelled stale when it arrived. Potato pieces had black spots on it and meat pieces were hard. Had to throw away most of it. What a disgusting and horrible experience. Cheap Resturant with no morals..disposing dustbin food to customers. Best wishes.
Satyabrata Barat
Well, frankly I love Saima, but today I ordered a full chicken tandoori and firni. This is the first time I got stale food delivered. Zomato denied to refund my money back. The only thing I loved is the dhaniya chutney and the salad. Maybe the resturant will improve itself. Best wishes.
Biswajit Chakraborty
Tough parathas and oily, old mutton curry and chicken chaap got delivered from this place. The parathas were very tough and was not at all edible. Mutton was smelly as it was old and very oily, tasteless chaap. Very bad experience. Cheers!!
Tiyasha Kar
I visited there few months ago but there's food service is too slow and don't serve it properly. In pujo previous year I also visited there but servicing people was too rude and behavior was very bad. Totally disappointed, suggest not to visit there anymore!!
Ankita Das
See this is one of those places you visit when you are having those sudden biriyani or kebab cravings and you don't have enough cash to go for a good restaurant.<br/>The good thing about this place is <br/>It gives u a decent seating area with healthy crowd and cooperative staff , and the food quality isnt bad so i wont say its a must visit<br/><br/>But if you only care about food taste and quality it will be your paradise
Sagnik Nandy
<br/>Price is very pocket friendly<br/>Taste is also good<br/>Freshly prepared<br/>Courtseous staffs<br/>Taste can be improved
Suvralima
This restaurant is for biriyani lovers pls visit once and have it quantity is enough to complete for one.
Susmita Das Mantu
Today i was order chicken biriyani.The egg were in display but there were no egg & the potatoes were not cooked properly,coming to the taste,its was average

Diksha Saha
Some days ago i was looking for some Indian lunch, when i explored this place. They may have several branches but this one is most close to my office. <br/><br/>I ordered Rumali roti and mutton kosha combo,which approximately costs around 99INR. The price was extremely cheap and the quantity was sufficient for one person. However the taste could be better. The highlight if this restaurant is definitely the low prices alongside the quality of food.
Raj Jaiswal
So I ordered this combo of mutton chaap with rumali roti. From the price point, Saima has done a great job in providing quality food with an affordable price tag as well. Coming to the taste, both the mutton and the rumali roti were cooked really well. However, the chaap was highly scented, making it difficult to savour the taste.
Sandeep Sutradhar
It doesn't provide any privacy, you have to eat with lots of people around you in a single table if you are not more than 2 people. Only few seats are actually available in that small space. But one thing i would like to appreciate is their taste of food is so nice also you can pay by any mode. They serve you quick and most of the staffs do friendly behavior with you. They are polite. They don't appreciate the food wastage as well 😅 so they will stop you ordering food if they find you ordering more than the capacity. It's a funny but good thing. Am giving it 4 stars just because of privacy thing otherwise it's overall good. You may go with your family also.
Papri Bhattacharyya
One of the old food joints that is still serving tasty food at a very nominal price.<br/>You will definitely gravitate towards this restaurant because of mughlai aroma you will get as soon as you are nearby.<br/>We Ordered-<br/>* Rumali Roti<br/>* Mutton Shami Kabab<br/>* Fish Fry<br/>The Shami kabab costed us Rs 40 and our whole lunch was within Rs 100.<br/>Each of these dishes tasted decently well.<br/>The rolls also looked very tempting and we would definitely try it in future.<br/>The service was quick. But don't expect comfortable seating with privacy,as it is a very congested place.
Alok
My review is solely based on my online order experience with this restaurant , that is this restaurant deliberately delivers the wrong quantity of food at least that's what happened with me every single time for three times , i received different quantity(less) then what i paid for and when inquired about the inconvenience the answer was "please sir , talk with your delivery agent , we can't help you with this matter ". So i would highly suggest to avoid ordering food online from this restaurant (at least for online ordering).
Anannya Barma
Have been to the restaurant many times. And also regularly order from this outlet. The quantity & quality of food both are great in terms of cost also.
Annay Banerjee
Have been to this restaurant A number of times and I'm pretty impressed by their biriyani. The quantity was good and so was the taste. Loved the biriyani.
Sudip Aich
Really worst experience ever. Ordered Rumali Roti with Chicken Bharta and its turned out a very bad decision. Chicken Bharta looks like that they shredded the chicken in some kind of gravy. Seeing a different type of chicken bharta but egg was present there. Tried other dishes but not this combo from here.
Soham Sinha (kolkatadelites)
Biryani is what we tried along with chap! The Biryani tasted okayish with a high blend of spices making it extremely spicy! The chap was decent. Nevertheless, the service needs to improve a bit along with restaurant hygiene & neatness!
Dipika Mazumdar
The biriyani was so dry, inside the chicken it has blood, absolutely no taste, I am not going there anymore . Totally worst experience
Tiasa Roy Shah
Today I have ordered 3roomali roti,mutton liver(1) &mutton shammi tikia(1)...but after receiving the food i found that mutton shami tikia was smelling & taste was very bad(sour)...then I called on 2283-2643 no..but the person who received was very casual...after hearing my complain his reaction was there is no one to change the food & we didn't received any kind of complain...near about 10;:40pm he told me to go his restaurant to exchange the food...how pathetic!!!the person was very rude...I must say plz don't order any kind of food from this restaurant specially from this(chowringhee) branch...they cheated money...they don't even know how to behave with customer....it's really very pathetic!!!!
Sarmistha Dawn
I forgot to click pictures of food. <br/>I ordered chicken tandoori with gravy & rumali rooti. That was just awesome.<br/>Must try this dish with Biriyani/Paratha or any bread items available there.
Chandrima Bhattacharya
I ordered for rumali roti... but the roti was ice cold... It is natural that this outlet serves cold rotis?!
Arnab
Have been ordering food from saima for years now.. It is known for its quality and value for money positioning.. But off late I have noticed, kebabs ordered through Zomato and if ordered directly at the restaurant are different in quality, quantity and taste.. I am quite amazed, but this is not a one time incident.. This has been happening regularly for the past 2 months or so.. Finally I am writing a review about it.. Hope the management looks into the matter.. Patrons are not idiots, that they won't understand the difference..
Avirup Karmakar
In puja time i ordered this this restaurant's service was to good and the meals are also too good very testy and fresh
Ritwick Halder
Price is reasonable. Food is not good. I was sick for 5 days after eating here. Save money on medicines, instead go to buzz or chowman infront of this restaurant and save your health.
Gourab Saha
Good food i like it chicken reshmi kabab juicy things<br/>Lunch time for me with salad and chatni 6pc just of rs 120 only .. trt it if it possible
Ishrat Rashid
The chicken tandoori was awesome the chicken was welled cooked and teast is worderfull and i always tell my friends and family to order food from saim resturant and thanks alot for the super fast delivery
Subhajit Banerjee
I was ordered Chicken Biriyani from their outlet. The quantity of biriyani in a packet is good enough and quality of chicken is good, but piece of potato is not upto the mark (hard, not well boiled/fried). Talking about quality, I should say it's ok. But you should give a piece of egg, without a piece of potato & egg Kolkata's biriyani is incomplete.<br/><br/>So, this is not the great or excellent but overall good, you can eat from them.
Sarmistha Mullick
We had a dinner at saima near chowringhee. We have ordered a chicken coriander soup , a schezwan fried rice and hunan chicken dish. The ambiance is not too good nor too bad.the staffs were not so attentive to the customers need that's really ridiculous.but yeah The soup was thick and really healthy. Hunan chicken was also good and the food quantity for one is really appreciative cause two people can easily have a meal of one.the schezwan rice is ok. Apart from the over all ambience nd staff behaviour ,the food quality and taste is really nice.
Madhubanti Podder
North Indian Cuisine with reasonable price. Quantity is sufficient. Can accommodate 20 people at a time. Staffs are courteous. The quality of food is okay.<br/><br/>In frame- Masala Kulcha, Chicken Biriyani, Chicken Bharta.
Salome Dutta
Saima is located just beside Exide metro station. Its on the pocket friendly side. Ambience was not that fancy but it was clean and hygienic.<br/>Staffs are well behaved. Food was cooked well and tasted delicious..<br/>Overall it was a nice experience..
Sayantan Pal
Had Mutton Biriyani, Butter Nun, Tikka kebab & reshmi kebab... Biriyani, Nun & Tikka kebab was really very delicious but reshmi kebab was not so good....
Dipanwita Bose
We went to this place yesterday and ordered one chicken dum biriyani with onion salad ,total price with GST is just 168,the taste of biriyani is overall good and ambience is romantic ,pieces of chicken and potato is very big , enjoyed the biriyani a lot , hope to visit soon .....
Archita Roy
Biriyani is the ultimate food of the restraunt.. so tasty n delicious ! Don't go on the outlook of the restraunt as the food is delicious ❤️
Sarmistha Sarkar
This outlet is located just besides Exide building/Exide metro stations.It’s a Very Small outlet in little congested Place.<br/>Rolls are their famous item.Tried paneer roll,Mutton sami roll,double egg mutton sami roll.Rolls are very tasty and filling.Mutton Sami roll one of must try item.It cost around 45 INR which is pocket friendly.<br/>Their service is good..they used to deliver as quick as possible but roll making process is quite unhygienic, they don't use gloves(it is fine for a Street food).They are keeping roll in Stone surface which is not Clean at all,they used to fill the stuffing that Place only and by chance something drop from stuffing in that surface they use that too in roll.<br/><br/>Ambience:3/5<br/>Quality:3/5<br/>Taste:4.5/5<br/>Service:3/5
Amarendra Mandal
Pocket friendly.<br/>The first word that came in my mind the moment I started writing this review.<br/>They have a quite small seating area,but they provide good quality food considering the price,we had the following items:<br/>Chicken Bharta(5/5)<br/>Chicken Kati Kebab(3/5)<br/>Laccha Parantha(4/5)<br/>Roomali Roti(4/5)<br/>Phirni(4/5)<br/>Fresh Lime Soda(4/5)<br/>Will visit again.
Hanish Rana
Third quality of DAL with little pebbles inside that,,pratha are really worsth want to give -5 star but that is not possible...waste of money
Sonia Chatterjee
Worse place. After ordering the food, they serve about 1hour later. They do mistake in billing. There are smoke at the dining area. I won't ever visit that restaurant again.
Megha Dey
Ordered a lachcha paratha and a chicken bharta from Ubereats. With 50% off i paid rs 70 for this combination.<br/>Though the quantity was fine, the food were too oily. The paratha was oily, so was the bharta.<br/>The chicken bharta was too tasteless with oil dripping from every corner of it. Also there were huge chunks of chicken and no shredded chicken as a bharta should have been.
Kanchan Gupta
Went there with a friend after shopping.. we were really hungry.. so ordered one chicken biryani and omlette.. the price is very reasonable and the quantity is also good.. though a outlet is small but it's a gem of a place.. loved it.
Subhashree NAYAK
Very good food... Cheap and pocket friendly also... Whenever we ordered food, they delivered it timely and with professionalism. Excellent...
Prosenjit Bhattacharjee
worst packaging. cold food.
Diptanshu Mukherjee
Rice and shami kabab tikki ... man o man best to have during lunch if you want to have it and go off to sleep.. its really apetizing and really yum... being a bong the best thing thing is having this and dozing off 😍
Ishita Dash
The place is truly awesome for the quantity but quality of food and service is still got scope to improve<br/>I visited in the evening and it was really fresh lot that I had there and I was quite hungry<br/><br/>I found my universal love for biriyani got gutted little bit. But the chicken biriyani plate that I had was quite satisfactory although<br/><br/>Not sure if will visit again there
Sudeshnabanerjee4

Md Murshid Ali Sk

Saifa Lodhi
Biryani was well cooked with one leg piece meat and aloo . It was delicious n worth the price. Would rate it 2 n half but I would also like to try some other stuff from this place .
Pritha Kayal
Yesterday i have order masala nun, paneer kulcha and mutton saima special dish for the first time from here, wanted to try something new... Nun and kulcha was soft and delicious. Mutton saima special dish was something new in taste...it contained two mutton pieces and one potato and with an egg.
Sumana Mandal
This is a safe place to order from when you are craving for some oily/buttery/chorestrol-y mughlai chicken or mutton side dishes along with some yummy tandoori rootis.<br/><br/>Had have nearly everything on the menu since I was introduced to this place when I was in school.<br/><br/>Recently ordered chicken tikka butter masala, mutton tikia and tandoori rootis from here.<br/><br/>And they were undoubtedly the way thw8have always been. Yum.<br/><br/>** One great thing about this place is that it's so pocket friendly. U get to eat yum food and don't burn a hole in your pocket as well. Can they be anything better?! Guess not.
Swagata Pal
Went for lunch.... We sat upstairs and it comparatively clean and spacious than the ground floor.... We ordered egg biryani... To my surprise there were two eggs along with 2 potatoes and some bits of chicken.... Couldn't be happier
Shreya Dutta - StarWords India
We had ordered one Chicken Biryani, one Mutton Biryani, and one Mutton Saima Special. The quality was disastrous. The biryani was totally burnt and the side was undercooked. The quality has absolutely deteriorated.<br/><br/>#starwordsindia #foodblogging #kolkata
Pratik Mitra
This place is known to all..<br/>I have gone there several times.. biriyani , tikka masala, rumali ruti , lachha paratha , chicken bharta , chiken tarka , mutton shami kebab i have tasted..<br/>This restaurant is good choice for biriyani, both in quality and quantity..<br/>Chicken tikka masala is delicious.. the price of it, printed in menu card is 160/-.. but u have to pay 180/- for that.. it's strange.. and u also have to wait 20 minutes extra for this..<br/>Rumali ruti is not so good.. as they prepare it so early , it becomes stale..<br/>Lachha paratha is average..<br/>Chicken bharta is not chicken bharta which they serve..<br/>Chicken tarka is average in taste..<br/>Mutton shami kebab is good enough..
Supranita Pachal
I have dropped in at this place for the second time. They have been serving authentic Indian delicacies since a long time. This is enough spacious with an accomodation of fifty people.<br/>I ordered:<br/>• Chicken tikka kebab- This is one of the best tikka kebab I have ever had. It is so succulent and filled with flavours that one would just not stop before grubbing six to seven. Alas! A plate comes with only six pieces at Rs. 150/-.<br/>• Egg Biriyani- The Biriyani comes with two eggs and in a huge quantity sufficient for two. Although it was a little dry, the taste was good. It is also not very rich, therefore it can be pounced upon soulfully. (Rs.100/-)<br/>The staffs are very courteous and the service is good. Looking forward to my next visit.
Jagoree Mukherjee
Great food .loved it . amazing taste n good quantity 🔥 . One plate of biriyani is enough for 2 people .the tandoor is the best I had have in recent times

We wanted to have a quick lunch and based on our hoteliers opinion we went to this place a very small joint and the cheapest food you can get they have limited food options<br/>Chicken chilly - it was okayish not worth a try<br/>Hilsa fish - the must try fish and the fish is really yummy
The_Foodie_couple
Location - 10 mints walking from Maidan Metro<br/>Ambience -- Normal<br/>Staff Behaviour -- good<br/><br/>Now coming to the food. We ordered Chicken biryani and Chicken kati kebab and chocolate shake<br/><br/>Biryani -- 5/5<br/>Saima is famous for their mughlai dishes especially biryani. It doesn't need any recognition for its biryani... 😊😊<br/><br/>Chicken kati kebab -- 4/5<br/>It was good. Chicken were properly cooked. And the gravy was so yummy.<br/><br/>Chocolate shake --3.5/5<br/>It was just ok ok type. Not bad<br/><br/>Note -- there are 2 floors ground floor is non A.C. And 1st floor is the A.C. one.
