Recently we went to India Restaurant and tried a couple of their specialties. 1. Chicken Afghani (Half) 🍗 : ₹310/- (2pcs) This dish came with chicken marinated in cashew nuts, cream, and fresh herbs, slow-cooked to give it a rich, and mildly spiced flavour. The taste was truly enjoyable creamy, aromatic, and full of flavour. However, the only drawback was the cut of chicken used. The two pieces served were mostly bony, which took away from the overall experience. With better meatier portions, it would have been perfect. 2. Special Mutton Biryani 🍖🍚 :₹490/- The highlight of the meal! The Special Mutton Biryani came with two large, juicy pieces of mutton, one boiled egg, and the signature Kolkata biryani potato. The rice was long-grained, fluffy, and aromatic with the fragrance of saffron and subtle spices. The mutton pieces were tender and succulent, absorbing the flavours beautifully. Every bite was truly finger-licking good and reflected the restaurant’s legacy in biryani-making. ✅ Overall Experience: India Restaurant lived up to its reputation, especially with the biryani, which was the showstopper. The Chicken Afghani had great flavours but could be improved with better cuts of chicken.

Recently visited India Restaurant in Khidderpore for dinner and it was a mostly delightful experience. The starters set the tone just right — the Chicken Reshmi Kebab and Galawti Kebab were absolutely amazing, melting in the mouth and rich in flavour. Paired with a refreshing fresh lime soda, it was a perfect beginning. Moving on to the main course, the naan, biryani, and Chicken Reshmi Butter Masala were all excellent. The biryani was aromatic and well-balanced, and the butter masala was creamy and full of depth. However, the much-anticipated Mutton Rezala was underwhelming — possibly a result of the festive season rush, as it lacked the finesse one would expect from such a signature dish. Additionally, in the special biryani, one piece of mutton was unfortunately not tender at all. That said, the staff handled the complaint well and provided an extra piece, which was absolutely delicious and made up for the earlier disappointment. Also the ice cream sundae at the end was just amazing. The ambience was quite pleasant, providing a comfortable and enjoyable dining atmosphere. While the pricing is slightly on the higher side, the quality of food and service largely justify it. Overall, a good place for dinner — especially for kebab lovers. With a little more consistency, it can easily be among the best in the area.

we visited just the day before eid for dinner and the restaurant was not so crowded. We had ordered chicken banjara kebab which tastes somewhat like the hariyali kebab.But the thing is in one of the chicken piece there is some green spot, upon asking they changed the piece but couldn't answet what was that which questions food quality and hygiene they maintain. For main course we had ordered butter nun, chicken tawa and chicken biryani of which tawa chicken is extremly rich and also the chicken was rubbery. Chicken biryani tastes fine but one side of the potato and some rice was burnt. Not recommending as "go-to" restaurant.

This has been an iconic Biryani place of Kolkata. But sadly the Biryani didn't live up to my expectations. Though the Galawati Kebab was delicious. Anyhow you can try it for yourself.
