This is a place i have been visiting right from my childhood. The ambience is amazing and the food is to die for. Love the biriyani and the chicken butter masala of this place.
According to price quantity is not enough.
But tasty 😋
Aminia is a known brand to everyone in kolkata. Whenever I go to new market for shopping, this outlet is the place where I definitely visit to quench my hunger. The food is good. Price is reasonable. The service is a bit slow.
I have been consuming food of Aminia since last 20 years. The taste of each food is perfect and delicious.
Good for group outings ...though quite slow service but everything other than that is finee...
A very famous and trusted outlet in kolkata. Since childhood I have been visiting this place to crave our hunger for some mughlai food. There have a vast varieties to choose from. However, there are famously known for briyani, rezala, chap and phirni. So, we ordered : Chicken Briyani, Chicken Rezala, Chicken Chap and phirni.
Taste - 4/5
All the dishes were delicious but i specially liked their Chicken Chap which was full of rich spices. I highly recommend Chap. Rezala was okay for me because i am not a very big fan of rezala.
Ambience - 4/5
Very decent sitting arrangement. There have both AC and non AC segments.
Price - 4/5
Very nominal pricing. Highly recommended

The place is nicely situated. The most famous biriyani place in New Market area. Their biriyani tastes so good and delicious. Especially the kebabs are finger licking good. I ordered Chicken biriyani and Chicken tikka kebabs. The packaging was nicely done. The amount of the biriyani is perfect for one person's appetite. The kebabs are also good and juicy and delicious. Their almost every dishes is very tasty and delicious.
Thanks
Once I visited here. Their ambience is good but in summer there is no AC, the air from fan is also not sufficient.
Quality and quantity of food is great. I ordered roomali Rooti and Mutton chaap. Those were just awesome. Chaap was brilliant, quantity of spices and oil was balanced. If you tell to give remark for food, that will be 5/5. I also want to go there again and again.
Have been visiting this place since childhood. Shopping from Esplanade is incomplete without biryani from this place. Coming to the food, the quantity of rice is enough for a person with a potato piece and a chicken. The rice is a little dry and the staff service is okayish.
Excellent service and taste!

LOCATION- New market area.
I visited here many times with my parents and friends.
Pocket friendly but bit crowdy.
Perfect place for those who love light flavored biryani.
I just love the Aminia biryani and aminia special.
The roll is very filling.
I visited here on January last .
But recently The quality of foods have detoriated than before.
Overall love this place.
Overall rating 3.6/5
Food 3.8/5
Been here lot of times.Perfect place for those who loves biriyani in light flavours. the amount of biriyani though might seem less to grown ups but the taste wont make you complain and the chicken/mutton melts in your mouth. We have tried all ranges of kebabs here and each of them are equally tasty. Some staffs might seem ignorant though but the food will make u visit again n again
The Aminia special has my ❤️ The roll is very filling, we tried the egg mutton roll. The mutton rezala was the best from the ones that we tried this time. Perfectly flavorful, light, comes with a solid and well cooked mutton piece
Aminia biriyani ,chaap and firni and most importantly aminia special mutton curry.
This we had our friends from south India try our Kolkata biriyani in this iconic restaurant.And it was a awesome dining experience overall 👍
You probably shouldn't be reading this because I'm extremely biased towards this legendary eatery. You keep hearing all these opinions about Arsalaan biriyani being the best in Kolkata is that - do not believe them! This is.
As it always has been.
My one true message to the owners, from a true fan - "Never close down. Aminia is something very close to my heart. I could walk in here for a meal even if I was 80 and battling heart disease."

One of the most renowned places in the city if you’re in the mood for a sumptuous meal, Aminia offers tasty Mughlai cuisine at the best prices. With quantity enough to feed your family or group of friends, hit your nearest outlet to try their kebab platter or biryani! The hygiene and ambience of the place is pleasing as well.
A few month ago I visited to the place where the love of every individuals resides. We had tandoori chicken kebab, Mutton seek pasinda, Mutton biriyani and kesari firni.
The quantity of the biriyani was sufficient and the taste is so much lip-smacking. The kebabs were absolutely unique and had an amazing taste. I specially loved the Mutton seek pasinda, it really has an amazing taste. The kesari firni was also lip-smacking. Overall I had an amazing experience.
Eat healthy and stay happy.
Definitely one of the best old biriyani joints of this city. Personally Aminia is a long time favourite of mine because their biriyani is quite light and the balance of flavours is quite good. Considering that there are plenty of joints serving great biriyani in Kolkata, I still go back to this place for the nostalgia it evokes.Apart from their biriyani, the Aminia special mutton stands out as a brilliant mughlai stew. With whole onions, tomatoes and eggs, it is truly a joy to eat this specialty. If you want something other than biriyani, then by all means go for their paratha with chicken chaap and mutton rezala. For dessert do try out the bread pudding instead of firni. Firni is available everywhere!
Recently have there.. Aminia is always famous for their biryani and Firni.. Also available North Indian food. If you want to taste the authentic Moghlai food or so far biryani then always go for Aminia.. And don't forget to try their Firni
Being so old, this place still has its charm!! we went for a birthday celebration lunch! We ordered both the chicken & mutton biryani with tandoori chicken & mutton rezella! They were a treat to the taste buds.. My all time favourite!!!!
This place is quite old and has it's different aura.
Me and Soumik Shamooi ordered:
1. Mutton Biriyani.
2. Mutton Chap.
3. Naan.
4. Firni.
Firstly, there was no place so we shared a table with two people.
They didn't have mutton Biriyani so they politely asked if we could change the order to chicken biriyani. So we changed the order to chicken biriyani.
Coming to the biriyani, the chicken was okeish but the rice and alooo was nice. They were very fast with the order.
Coming to mutton chap it was amazing! The mutton was tender and it sided best with nun.
The firni was the best!
Overall:
Ambience: 4/5
Food:4/5
Statf:5/5
So it's aminiaaa as we love the tast of briyani and many types of kababs, so I tried chicken briyani with chicken hariyali kabab, overall cost for one is around 230Rs , it's enough for one person to have his/her meal.
Menu : Aminia Special & Butter Nun (Good combination)
Aminia special (1 piece mutton, 1 egg, 1 onion, 1 tomato, 1 potato) was just awesome, and size of the nun was not bad.
Can try !
Its more of a heritage than a restaurant. One of the oldest and prime restaurants in. The heart of the city serving since long. Food nothing new to speak about is always delicious and the quantity is good too. Try the mutton awadi biriyani it's awesome and tasty.
Chicken special biryani, tandoori and Mutton Aminia special. These three items are the fixed items we always take whenever we go. My grandfather used to order the aminia special always and that legacy has continued still. clean hygienic area and good quality of food. plus biryani quantity is way too good!
Aminia is one of my favourite place for trying Biryani. As always, they have never disappointed me. I ordered: Chicken Biryani and firni. The Biryani was made to perfection, with a perfect blend of spices. The potato was too soft. The chicken piece was quite large and juicy. The Phirni tasted heavenly.
This place is my all time favourite ❤️
Kolkata’s one of the best biriyanis I have ever had. Mutton pasinda is also very good in taste.It can accommodate a large number of people at the same time.The staffs working there are so polite ...☺️
1. Service is extremely fast. Food was there within minutes of ordering.
2. Ambience is ok.
3. Biryani is quite oily but tasty. Its taste is enhanced with a curry dish called Aminia special which is a must try. It is a mutton curry with boiled egg, potato and carrots. Exquisite taste.
4. Staff is friendly.
Had a great time overall

Aminia is my all time favourite for biryanis and this time also they wan my heart . If you are in kolkata and haven't yet tasted Aminia biryani then your kolkata life is a lie . This is a must visit place for any biryani lover . We ordered for mutton biryani (as price of mutton biryani and chicken biryani is same 😅) with chicken chap and firni. Everything tasted so well together the rice of biryani was not atall greasy instead it was dry and the mutton was so well cooked that it doesn't take any effort to break that . The firni was as good as it should be overall experience was very good though the staff behaviour is okish but that is considerable.

Aminia, New Market is not just any restaurant but an emotion for many of us. A legendary shop, selling the one of tastiest Biriyani, Chaap, and Firni in and around Kolkata.

3. The staff is too friendly.
4. The service is quite prompt.
5. Easily accessible; just behind the KMC building.

About the Food,
I have been here quite a lot of times. My personal favorite would be their Mutton Chaap with Tandoori Roti/Butter Naan. You can also try their iconic Mutton Biriyani, but I get a little disheartened by their too small-sized mutton.
Must-Try: Mutton Chaap with Tandoori Roti/Butter Naan
Request to Management,
I would request them to provide a larger mutton piece, even if it requires to increase the prices a bit.
Here we tasted special chicken biriyani and chicken seekh kebab which was good.Nice ambience. Good staffs.highly recommended

I was at this outlet a few days ago with two ofy friends. This has both ac and no ac section. One thing that I wanna mention that this outlet doesn't look so fancy like other outlets but it's bigger than them I guess. Now coming to the foods, we ordered for a chicken reshmi kebab, a special mutton biryani, a regular mutton biryani, a chicken handi masala and a firni. The kebab was a bit hard and chewy. All the other dishes tasted amazing. They should look into maintaining hygiene more. The plate of the kebab was not clean properly. Else, we had a great time there.

I was at this outlet a few days ago with some friends of mine. Firstly what I wanna mention is this outlet doesn't look so fancy like other ones but it's bigger than other ones I guess. So we ordered for a chicken reshmi kebab, 1 special mutton biryanis, 1 regular mutton biryani, 1 chicken handi masala and a firni. The kebab was s bit hard but everything else was amazing in taste. I've had the best firni here. But they should keep eyes on hygiene. The plate of kebab was not clean. Else had good experience here.
This is the oldest outlet of Aminia, located in the favourite area of Kolkata. They have both the Ac and non Ac section. I have visited here a lot of times, mainly in the non ac section. The food here is the best among the other outlets. Be it laccha paratha, chicken anything. It's very big inside and they have the capability to attend and handle the crowd. Prices are reasonable and worth every taste. Mention should be made of the Phirni, it's excellent.
Apart from briyani AMINIA makes brings good tastes in the roll item's my favourite is the Chicken Katti Roll . The chicken are well prepared and the sprinklings of the lemon on it with some onion's on it also make it just no words in the mouth.
The place is nice, Biriyani is a bit over-hyped, I mean I have had better in that price bracket but that's subjective. The Mutton chap was good. I will give 5 stars for the "Phirni" only 💛
Food is good but not upto the mark. And service is 3rd class. I think the street food service is very good than them. Only limited item are available there every time. If you want to plan something then please mind it.
One and only pioneer hotel where ond can find variety of mogul style cuisine at the heart of Kolkata near Esplanade...
They have biriani, kababs, chaps of both Mutton and chicken... Tandoori Roti along with Aminia special Mutton dish is really superb...
Tastes are good and well maintained as per the tradition. But the quantity becoming less as compared to the price...
Must visit place for all foodies who are interested to taste authentic Muglai cuisine...
Amazing food for sure, the Mutton Rezala, Biryani, Irani Chicken Tandoori, and the Phirni are must try. Don't expect service like fine-dining, it's all about experiencing the food and the culture.
Located in the New Market area, it's the very first restaurant of Aminia opened in Kolkata, serving authentic Mughlai / Awadhi cuisine to the gourmets of the city of joy. Established in the year 1947, it has been operating for more than 75 years now and is one of the heritage restaurants of Kolkata. This is the main outlet of Aminia which serves authentic recipes. If you have visited the other outlets which are located around the city, then you have not experienced actual flavours of Aminia. The biryani, chicken chaap, rezala and the kesar firni is a must have if you are here.
Food is still great at this heritage establishment known for its delectable Kolkata style biryani with the succulent mutton and aalu pieces, waiters on the other hand are somewhat of a nuisance, they serve the dishes you well but just wait for you, stand besides you, stare at you, to finish even though the entire restaurant (almost 20 odd tables )is empty...but I will ignore it because the biryani is good!
Good food. Amazing taste. Absolutely budget friendly. You can bring your family, your friends, your colleagues - literally everyone. Also, you can order takeaway too.
It is situated in new market area, very popular and large in size. Cabin structure is till now available for the sign of haritage of Kolkata. Food quality is good specially you can try kababs. Perfect family restaurant, with reasonable price. This is not so luxurious but comfortable.
This is an institution and a tradition for our family. The biriyani here does not compare to any other restaurant in Kolkata and is a class apart. Apart from biriyani (both chicken and mutton), the chicken chaap, aminia special and firni are the dishes to die for. Must visit if one is in Kolkata. The prices are very reasonable as well and there are AC and non-AC seating areas.
Aminia is one of my favourite go-to places to relish biryani and tandoor dishes. The place is always bustling with passionate food-lovers, as it rightly should be. It provides dine-in, takeaway as well as delivery options in addition to swift service.
Apart from the popular chicken and mutton biryani, you must try their chicken tandoori, chaap and phirni. You'll hardly get disappointed.
