Mezban Restaurant & Caterer - Biryani restaurant in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

Mezban is one the our favourite places for Biriyani and Chaap. We have been regulars at this place for almost 25 plus years. Nothing have really changed about this place. Which is good in terms of Food taste and most importantly quality . Firstly the food they serve us was piping hot which is good in terms of enjoying Biriyani and Chaap. Very Important. Taste wise good. Quantity wise good. The place just needs a better house keeping upgrade. Overall my rating about this place is average. But give it a try. Happy eating everyone

It most famous restaurant in Ripon Street, Kolkata, Nearly in 1990's near by it was established and become very famous for its food quality, earlier i was found of its biryani, chap, tikia etc, during lock down they started lock down biryani reducing the rates and till date it is quite famous, during Ramjan they prepare chicken/mutton halim and quite tasty, Nearly ten years back expand their venture near by with AC accomodation and tandoori items. At present date also without doubt their tandoori roti is quite superb and unbeatable. This can be tried with chap, tikia, rezala etc. Original restaurant is quite clumsy and crowded, side by with AC is less crowded but not so hygienic, what ever i love the items of Mezban specially the roti.

Taste is Good. Pricing is moderate. In comparison to similar restaurants, I felt starters were priced a bit high but taste well. Main course gravy taste well and were budget friendly but comparatively lesser quantity. Biryani was also moderate - not spicy. Not everyone will like it especially those who love biryanis on spicier side. Improvements should be done in terms of varieties and innovations. More dishes should be welcomed in an innovative style. I know many people still like the traditional way but then there are many who is looking for the change

Tried the mutton Nihari and Mutton Paya coupled with Tandoori Roti. The Nihari was average, the gravy tasted good but I wish mutton pieces were softer and tender. But then whenever I have Nihari, I benchmark it against the one (beef though) available at Sufia hotel opposite Nakhoda mosque. They set such a high standard for this particular dish, its almost impossible for other eateries to catch up. The mutton paya was decent but not outstanding. I was told to try their Dal Gost which I intend to do. Will share feedback.

Place is awasome, feel old mughlai style restaurants. Food is no doubt too good. Biryani & Mutton Stew must try. Kebabs are also so juicy and tender.

Mezban is a famous restaurant on Ripon st. serving mostly Mughlai foods. I went there in a winter morning to have the Mutton Nihari. I really liked the taste. There was no overpowering aroma and the meat was very tender. You can have either tandoori roti or dalpuri with the Nihari. Price: Half plate 150/- (1 piece mutton), full plate 280/- (2 piece).

Early morning extravaganza in Mezban. Located along the back side of Parkstreet, this place offers you mouthwatering breakfast. We had Dal Gosht (5/5) Mutton Nihari (5/5) Dal Puri and Tandoori Roti. Awesome and I will be back for trying the Paya as well

I had a great experience at Mezban restaurant. Their biryani was incredibly tasty, and the overall quality of the food was highly satisfying. I want to recommend their "Lockdown biryani" to everyone - it's priced at just 120 INR with cash and 126 INR with UPI due to GST. This option offers a fantastic chicken biryani that's surprisingly similar to their regular chicken biryani despite the lower cost. It's an excellent choice for those seeking great flavors without the usual expense. Moreover, Mezban offers a variety of other delicious food items that are equally delightful. While there might be occasional delays in service, the overall quality of the food and the dining experience more than make up for it. One important note is that the "Lockdown biryani" is available only offline and not through platforms like Swiggy or Zomato. So, if you're interested in trying it, make sure to visit the restaurant directly.
