No matter where you are in the country, Kathi rolls and Kolkata are synonymous. Much of it is due to the famous Nizam’s in Kolkata which pioneers in Kathi rolls as the idea of kathi rolls was first conceived less than a century ago –at this humble Mughlai food eatery outside of Kolkata's famous New Market.It has served a number of delighted customers over the ages who keep coming back for more.
Nizams is known for its kathi rolls and kathi kebabs.
The chicken used in the rolls are kathi kebab which is another iconic dish of this restaurant.The kebabs are delish to taste and are grilled to perfection.The chicken is not only juicy but extremely tender and spicy.It is served with lemon, lacha onions and mint chutney which helps in bolstering it's taste.
If u ever visit nizams kathi kababs are a must try.

Have heard of this place from my friends and finally decided to visit this place. Their biryani and kathi rolls are famous and really have reasons to be. Would definitely recommend to try them out. The price is affordable too. Only thing i didn't like was that the place is not very clean.

Very frequent I visit your place. I just love the mutton kathi roll. Its taste amazing. The mutton kathi roll size was enough for one person and the price was reasonable as well.
Next comes the mutton biriyani..No doubt, the taste and the quantity was good.Enough for one person and can be shared easily between two..The quality was also good..

We ordered Mutton Biriyani and Chicken Masala
Place: Nizam's, New Market
Pocket pinch: Rs. 200 and Rs. 175
Review: We were shopping around in New Market one day and got really tired. We were pleasurably surprised to see so many authentic biriyani joints around the place. A common favourite is ofcourse the Nizam's. With many people awarding this to be the best Biriyani joint of Kolkata, we loved the taste. The perfect balance of spices and flavours. Neither blande nor overpowering. Loved the place. Please visit the place if you are a Biriyani-sexual.

This vintage place is located in New Market Area near Esplande metro station. Very famous for their kathi kebab roll. Some months ago I tried their chicken kathi roll and to be honest it was absolutely delicious. The chunks of smokey spicy succulent chicken just melted in my mouth. They are also famous for their biryani.

I wanted to have something very light but filling as well. So ordered Chicken roll from the very famous Nizam restaurant at Hogg Market, Kolkata. The very first bite blown my mind. I'll tell you the reason why!

Follow @the_food_wall on Instagram.

Taste ➡ī¸ The Chapati was thin so it was not very heavy as other rolls. The chicken stuff was filled enough that every single bite was yummy. It was perfectly balanced with spices rather than would say it has a different flavor altogether. I should have eaten this before. Oh my ❤ī¸ Since it was a combo so I received a bowl of Phirni. It was a sweet dish made of milk, rice, cardamom, saffron, and raisins. And it satiated my taste bud like anything.
Cost ➡ī¸ This proper Mughlai meal cost me Rs 99 only. Do try Nizam's restaurant at New Market, Kolkata. You will love it.

Nizam is my all time favourite place. The quality and taste of the food will bring u back everytime,adding on to the pocket friendly category. The price and quantity of biriyani is well justified. The kebabs as well melt in your mouth.staffs r too polite especially with students like us. Dont search for decor of this place but go for the food. Nizam never gets old.special mention is the firni(i love it cz unlike others they r just the adequate amt of sweet)

This no frill place was one of my favourite on my recent trip to the city of Joy. The Kathi roll originated here, and we had no doubt believing that. The tastiest rolls packed with flavour. Curious about the kebab that goes into the roll, we ordered the Nizam's special, chicken Kathi kebab. Served with some caramelized onions and lime, this one was the highlight of our meal. We also tried the chicken biryani, which is mildly flavoured with fall-of-the-bone meat pieces and potatoes. There's not too much in terms of ambiance, but that's forgiven since the food is so so good. Can't wait to go back to Kolkata and Nizam soon.

Overall rating: 5/5

Happy hogging!

Nizam! Nizam! Nizam! gar firdaus bar roo-e zameen ast, Hameen ast-o hameen ast-o hameen ast!
Where would we miserable food lovers be if Nizam and the colonialism hadn't created the kathi roll? What would have been our go to street food? And boy have they shown the way for all these years now!
Their mutton kebab stands out from the rest purely because of the spiciness. It is hot and spicy and it is freaking delicious! And on that note, their paratha balances the kebab with its hint of sweetness. I would recommend their rolls, paratha and kebab and kulfi falooda.
Visit them and pay them some respect, it is because of them that we get to relish roll almost everywhere!

Recently I went to this place with my friends. We had Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chicken Kathi Kebab Roll, Mutton Kathi Kebab Roll and Firni. The Chicken Tikka Kebab was very delicious. Perfectly cooked and the amount of spice was sufficient. The Firni was also very good. The sweet was in right amount. The Chicken and Mutton Kathi Kebab Roll was also very tasty. But the paratha of the roll was a bit oily, otherwise it was great.

FOOD ORDERED - Chicken Biryani, Chicken Chap, Laccha Paratha, Salad

FOOD REVIEW - Chicken biryani was pretty good for the price and when paired with Chicken Chap it felt heaven. Didn't like the Laccha Paratha though because it was fried with dalda and felt very awful. Overall it was good. Staff behavior was pretty bad.

This place was in my bucket list for a really long time. Finally visited this place a few days back and loved the place. It's in Esplanade can be easily found on Google maps. We ordered Nizam's special nargish biriyani, chicken kathi kabab roll, chicken cheese kathi kabab roll, egg chicken kathi kabab roll. Everything tasted so good. And the biriyani was a bit different but really tasty it was garnished with raisins, fried onions, cashew nuts and cherries. It was really good and the chicken pieces were soft and succulent. There's nothing new to say about the rolls of this place. The rolls were really good, soft and cooked perfectly.

Nizam's is the very embodiment of nostalgia for me. Located at the heart of the city, New Market, this place is famous for the various types of kathi rolls that it offers.
As per the most commonly accepted story, kathi rolls originated in Nizam's when they started wrapping paranthas over their famous kababs, to make things less messy as well as to be eaten on the go.
One speciality about their rolls is that they do not contain any sauces. Onions and capsicum marinated with vinegar and blackpepper is the only accompaniment.
This place also serves amazing kababs and firni.

If you are visiting Kolkata, and want to experience the taste of some authentic rolls,then this place is a must visit.

Experience of Chicken kathi roll was amazing.

The kathi Chicken was well marinated ,soft ,tender and well cooked.
indian spicies were well balanced in the chicken.
the sharpness of chilli and fresh onion was perfect (for me).

The paratha of the roll was medium ,not too thick and not too thin with its yellowish brown upper crust.

It doesn't contain any tomato ketchup like most of the street rolls but it tests heavenly.

Nizam's is a famous name when it comes to kathi roll, they proudly say they are the one who introduced the concept of kathi rolls.

This place is large with a lots of table and sitting space. It's in the center of the New Market area. We tried the Chicken Roll, the Paneer roll, Veg Roll and also the Paneer Veg Roll. I also tried the fish fry. This place serves a lot of other items apart from just rolls.

The rolls we're good though a bit oily, the stuffing was good. The chicken and the veg paneer were the best of the lot. The best item however was Fish fry and the Phirni. The fish fry served with mustard sauce was nicely cooked , crunchy on the outside and soft from inside.
The Phirni was nice smooth and chilled.

Phirni , Fish Fry and the Chicken Rolls are recommended.

Mutton roll
Price: ₹65

Mutton roll tastes very good But their is a problem of less mutton pieces rather compare to the price.
Except that the taste of the roll is really good and the mutton is like little fired from which the taste turns awesome.

Had mutton biryani and chicken tikka butter masala with chicken chap. Biriyani( was delicious, proper quantity and mutton was well cooked👌. Chicken tikka butter masala was great... Rich in flavours (4 pieces) Chicken chap was good but little higher in salty side. Price was justifiable. Ambience good. Service average. Very crowded in peek festive season.

Well, if you thought that Nizam’s is only popular for its kathi rolls, it’s time that you change your perception. Situated in New Market, the restaurant serves lip-smacking Kolkata biryani—one of the best in the city. At any given time of the day, it might be difficult for you to find an empty place here. And on weekends, you might have to wait in a queue. However, the wait is worth it as the biryani is absolutely delicious. Served with boiled potatoes, pieces of chicken/mutton and a boiled egg, the heavenly taste of the biryani is nothing but outstanding. If you want to try something else too then order dishes like mutton pasanda, mutton rezala and chicken chaap along with your choice of bread such as naan or tandoori roti.

Kolkata's one of the best roll place, Nizam's since 1932. Since 1964 Nizam's started kathi roll, the started using bamboo sticks to grill kebabs and thats the point Kathi roll born in Kolkata before that it was simple roll. All different aromatic spices used to marinate the kebabs that gives the flavours to Nizam's Kathi roll. Really good and must for evry roll lovers. Heritage ambience but now modified a lot till it is Nizam. Try biriyani n Phirni awsom full of aroma and flavor. It worth to be there.

You can check this place out if you are around the new market area for some good Indian food. We tried their Nizam's chicken kathi roll- single which was good,but if you are a person who loves to eat roll with sauces & ketchup then you might not like their roll as they don't use any sort of ketchup & sauce. For Vegetation food you will only find few paneer dishes in their menu and nothing more. They have AC & Non AC Seating options as well, Ambience is also nice.

The original source of Kathi Roll is now a bustling nonagenarian restaurant located at the ever chaotic New Market area best known for the lip smacking options of rolls.Other dishes including biryani are top draws also.Warm lighting fills the interior and the walls are adorned with framed film posters.Service is decent,but parking is a nightmare here.With its share of limitations this is a prominent place of the rich culinary heritage of Kolkata.

I have been here both in the nom AC segment and the AC segment. They serve you the best roll in Kolkata. At least the've been serving roll over many decades now. Must try roll here. Biriyani is good /decent but I have had better. But rolls would make you visit again. Deserts, firni is good but I would recommend the Begum pasand Malai. If you are reading this and have not visiting this place YET. I recommend you to visit NOW. Go relish the food they serve. Just at the ground floor of Hogg building corporation office, near Chaplin square, the lane opp to Elite movie hall.

Nizam's Restaurant, credited as the birthplace of the iconic Kathi Roll, is a culinary legend in the world of Indian cuisine. Specializing in Mughlai fare, this eatery offers a taste of history and tradition on every plate. The Kathi Roll, an ingenious creation of Nizam's, is a delightful marriage of flavors and textures. The paratha, warm and flaky, cradles succulent fillings like marinated meats or spiced vegetables, delivering a satisfying blend of savory goodness. Each bite is a symphony of taste that leaves a lasting impression. Beyond the Kathi Roll, Nizam's offers a rich menu of Mughlai dishes, including kebabs, biryanis, and curries. The aroma of their tantalizing curries wafts through the air, inviting you to savor the spices and aromatics that define this cuisine. The restaurant's ambiance exudes a classic charm, making it an ideal setting for a gastronomic journey through Mughlai delights. The service is efficient and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience. Nizam's Restaurant, with its heritage and culinary innovation, is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Mughlai cuisine and the unforgettable Kathi Roll. It's a place where tradition and innovation come together to create a delightful culinary legacy.
