Aminia Restaurant, Behala - Restaurant in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

This place needs no introduction. Located in a prime area of taratala, it provides valet parking which is a big plus point since finding parking on D.H Road can be difficult. The ambience gives a shahi-but-modern vibe which goes well with the mughal food that the restaurant serves. The food here is delicious especially the mutton biriyani which has rewaji mutton pieces. Despite being masaledar mughal food, it does not feel very heavy while eating unlike some other places. Coming to service, it has room for improvement. The service is slow and servers had to be reminded of orders. Also we had to ask for cutlery. Overall this place is worth a visit especially if you are a fan of biriyani or the Aminia special. We tried: 1. Chicken reshmi kebab 2. Fish tikka masala 3. Tandoori roti 4. Special mutton biriyani, kolkata style 5. Salad 6. Firni

Good food Nice ambiance Service could have been a bit better Biryani was good Mutton pieces were succulent and tenders perfectly. Mango phirni is recommended Cheese chicken kebab is a must try

Traditional Mughlai food joints in Kolkata Aminia opened several branches across the city. The Behala branch is located just next to Ajanta Cinema and in front of Taratala Metro Station. Due to the construction of Metro, business was not good, but it is picking up now. Holding valet parking system is added advantage. The food is good, but somewhere, the flavor of New Market Aminia is missing. Spacious seating accommodation and prompt service must win your smiles. Pocket friendly, too.

The quality of the food is very nice . The test was fantastic.. and also the ambience is also very familiar and couple friendly..

The food was satisfactory. We ordered a half plate of chicken tandoori in which one of the chicken pieces was quite charred though they changed it after addressing. The service person was trying to sell biriyani but we were determined to not have biriyani that day . Overall I had a good time .

We really liked the food. We had North Indian cuisine. The stuffed kulcha and special naan was really nice. The kebabs were largely good. The malai kebab was a bit on the harder side. Lahori Chicken was kinda disappointing both in terms of taste and quantity. Chicken tandoori butter masala was very tasty. Even, the sweet lime soda was great. The Shahi Firni was amazing as well !

Wanted to visit this restaurant from a long time and finally that happened. A friend decided to throw his birthday treat in Aminia. I had a lot of expectations going in because of its reputation. This restaurant is very easy to find, located on diamond harbour Road just after Behala pathakpara. On entering I was taken aback by how beautifully the place is designed. Very spacious and lovely ambience. The different table partitions were made of beautifully decorated glass paintings. The only thing that could have been arranged was a little slow music. The ACs worked fine. I'll be reviewing the dishes one by one. 1. Fish seekh kebab - Well prepared with the right amount of spices. Had nothing to complain. You could actually feel the fish while chewing which was good. 2. Chicken tandoori - I loved this dish. The chicken was very tender and tasted very nice. A must have if u visit here. 3. Peas polau - Very light with green Peas. Just what you would get in every other restaurant. 4. Fish Tikka Masala - Now this dish was a disaster. We ordered this because one of our friend does not eat chicken or mutton and this was the only fish item they had on the menu. The first bite would literally make u cry as it was so spicy. I do not know what fish was given or how the dish was prepared as nothing tasted of fish. 5. Special mutton biriyani- biriyani was quite good. The potatoes and mutton were quite soft and the amount was more than enough. An advice if u order special biriyani then it is enough for two persons. But as far as the reputation go I was expecting a lot more from their biriyani. I have had much better biriyani in other restaurants. 6. Murg Musallam - This was supposed to be the highlight for our lunch. This was ordered by my friend a day before and we were in so much anticipation as how the dish would turn out. After it was delivered to our table it looked yummy with all the gravy, butter and cashew garnished on top. But when we took a bite all hopes went down the drain. It tasted so bland. The spices nor the gravy had gone inside the chicken. More or less it tasted like simply boiled chicken. At the end we had fresh lime soda and mango firni which was quite good. As for my opinion it was an ordinary experience and maybe will not visit until I hear good reviews from others.

Great ambience n food. Service was a bit late but polite stuff
