Used to live across this place when it was just a restaurant on the ground floor with the owners living on the first floor. Was a kid then and could see the sons of the family working out on the roof. Am amazed at the transformation of India restaurant and I continue to be a patron whenever I go to Kolkata. Living right across this place was like heaven... because their chicken chaap, biryani and most importantly, paya in winters, are simply outstanding. I am very happy that India Restaurant has made it so big. A huge part of my childhood nostalgia is tied to the place.
I need to go with all stars. Simply because I see myself as a patron. Living almost opposite to this place, have seen it grow from the early days to what it is now. From trying to tell legends of the great Biryani to office colleagues in sector 5/Rajarhat to them now asking me if I stay close to India restaurant and if its possible to get the food, it has been one hell of a great transformation! And now obviously the FB page. A great way to connect and spread the good word. Way to go guys.
The best place to have biryani in Kolkata, hands down! None can come close. Not oily and greasy compared to others.
The Perfect place for a family with buds challenging flavours & exotic ambience & great hospitality.

Amazing food and perhaps the best Biryani in town! The kebabs (Mutton) were truly authentic Lukhnawi and again the best I've had. I was very impressed with the new look restaurant and addition of two new plush floors. Service was impeccable. Will visit more often.
Love their daryabadi biryani *_* I have visited so many times and love their ambience.
Mutton Biriyani is awesome in taste....... Mouth melting meat...... With best in town Hospitality......!!!!! I Always prefer Biriyani Here.....!!!!! And desert of Gazar Halwa........... Offffffffffffff it's wonderful.....!!!! ��������
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.
This was my First visit at Indian Resturant
Atmosphere was good...Ambience was also hood..
Come to Food Experiencing...
1- Mutton Kacchi Biriyani Taste was Awsome..
2- Galauti kebab tried, taste was medium..
3- Hariyali kebab was Awsome..
4- Sahi Tukda is Must-try dish and taste was just Mind Blowing.
5- Firni Taste is also awsome.
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 👌
Food was awesome.. we had Audhi biriyani galouti kababs. Its a must visit place in Kolkata
It's a good resturant. Staffs are well behaved and helpful. We took kacchi biriyani and mutton biriyani. Rice is good but mutton seems little undercooked. Overall experince is good.
All the 3 items we have had there was of excellent taste. Mutton Galawati Kebab is a must try as it was the softest Galawati Kebab I ever tried. Special Chicken Biryani had 2 large leg pieces along with egg and alu which can serve 3 people as well. Ambience was also pretty good.

Best Biriyani of Kolkata according to me at least. Those juicy mutton pieces were melting into my mouth soon after placing. Very nicely decorated, felt like we were in a 5 star hotel. They have both AC and non AC Seating area.

What can be better than celebrating Independence Day in India! Wished to go there since a long time, finally fulfilled it today. Had-
• Chicken Peshawari Kebab
• Special Mutton Biryani
• Green Salad
• Shahi Tukra
I didn't like the biryani that much as it was a bit bland, but the Kebab was great with the green chutney and Shahi Tukra was the showstopper. It was the best I have ever had. Overall a nice experience. ❤
A multi-storey restaurant with AC seating, and also Non-AC seating. The food quality is amazing. The price is also reasonable. Tried Tandoori Roti and Butter Chicken. Also tried their Chicken biryani and chicken kasha earlier. If you are visiting Khidirpur, this is the place to have your lunch or dinner. The location is by the side of main road(Karl Marx Sarani).
Biriyani was really good and so aromatic and tempting 🤤, ambience was good, lacha parata mutton kosa taste so good, kebab was really good, must try awadhi mutton biriyani which is served in makta or matir Hari.
