Karims (opp Jama Masjid, Delhi, also in Gurgaon, Noida)

In a nutshell:

A restaurant that has lived 98 years, Karim’s offers some extraordinary dishes & many more ‘mellowed-down’ good dishes. My taste buddies thank me every time I take them to Karim’s

Address & other details: Karim’s

Karim’s at Gali Kababian, Opp Jama Masjid, Delhi

Meal for 2: Rs. 300 onwards

Cuisine Type: Nonvegetarian

Short Description – In case u r in a hurry:

If u r looking for white Gloved service , very polite waiters , an excellent ambience & very healthy food, do not even think of going to Karim’s. But if u r willing to give less importance to all these & rather want to pamper ur tastebuds, this is the place to be.

Kurry at Karims

Mutton Burra kabab is drooling good & the mutton seekh kabab is unique, juicy, spicy, soft & the best. Like the oily gravy of mutton istew & also the egg stuffed with minced goat. Love the Nihari & paya that is served in the morning.

Aafreen Restaurant (besides Metiabruz Police Station, on main Akra road, Kolkata)

In a nutshell:A hidden wonder lost in a large metropolis – best Kolkata Biryani in Kolkata

A view from the main road

Cuisine Type: Nonvegetarian

Address & other details: AAfreen, R-38, S.A. Farooqie Road, Akra Road, Kolkata

Meal for 2: Rs. 150 onwards

Short Description – In case u r in a hurry:

YUMMRAJ shifts the crown of ‘Best Biryani in Kolkata’ from Arsalan after eating for the second time at Aafreen. Arsalan is now ‘Best Mutton Biryani in Kolkata’. This shift is purely on the basis of taste – not anything else.

drooling good biryani at Aafreen

Crispy Layered laccha parathas, super tasty subtle rezala , fiery looking bhuna that is very tasty & yet not half as fiery as it looks, a grainy & robust tasting Chhap, a subtle burhani to cool all this & the showstopper – As I write, I am salivating just at the thought of the biryani, even a week after munching it……… soft, melt in the mouth rice, not dry but not very greasy as well & unbelievably tender & tasty meat.

Arsalan (Park Circus, Kolkata)

In a nutshell:

Best Kolkata mutton Biryani in Kolkata. Aafreen Biryani tastes better but that is not mutton biryani.

Address & other details: Arsalan

Meal for 2: Rs. 250 onwards

Cuisine type: Predominantly Nonvegetarian with vegetarian options thrown in

Short Description – In case u r in a hurry:

The menu card is long. My reco to friends is that do not waste time & energy & imagination – just order Arsalan special Biryani with Mutton kosha, ishtew & chhamp as side dishes. For Kolkattans, a Mutton Burrah wud alsob a good idea. For Dilliwallas, The Burrah of Karims is a few shades better.
