Aminia near New Market is practically a landmark in Kolkata. It’s got that serious legacy vibe, and you can feel the history when you walk in. For years, this place has been the go-to for authentic Mughlai, and honestly, the setup still holds up.
The restaurant is massive and really spacious, which is a huge plus in a crowded area like New Market. It’s also super clean and hygienic. The staff are professional and quick—service is definitely one of their strong suits right now. It is a very comfortable place to bring the family for a meal.
But here’s the sad part: the food just isn’t hitting the mark like it used to. Recently, I’ve felt the quality and quantity are sliding. The biggest letdown is the Biryani. For the price they’re charging, the amount of rice you get is surprisingly less compared to other famous spots in the city. It feels like they’re skimming on the very thing that made them famous.
It’s still a good spot if you prioritize a clean, comfortable environment over massive portions. But if you’re looking for that old-school, generous Kolkata Biryani feast, you might leave feeling a bit shortchanged. Worth a visit for the comfort, but I hope they fix the portion sizes soon.

Absolutely delicious Simple no frills service. Had the Awadhi chicken biryani, shami kebab and pasinda seekh kabab and all were simply too good. The order was very quick to arrive (5 minutes) and it was hot and steamy. Thoroughly enjoyed it and topped it all off with firni which was also simply amazing. Will highly recommend it to any foodie or if you simply want to grab a full meal in a hurry. Definitely one of the best Biryani’s in Kolkata.

⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆
Aminia in Kolkata gets a 3-star rating from me. While it’s a well-known name and the ambiance is comfortable, the overall experience didn’t match the hype. The biggest drawback is the pricing— the food feels quite expensive for the quantity they serve. The portions are noticeably smaller compared to other popular Mughlai restaurants in the city. The taste is also just average; there’s nothing particularly unique or standout about the dishes. The biryani and curries were decent, but not memorable enough to justify the cost. Service is okay, but the value for money is definitely lacking. Aminia is fine for a one-time visit, but if you’re expecting exceptional flavour or generous portions, you may end up a bit disappointed.

It’s one of those places you’ve been visiting since a very young age, so there’s a sense of nostalgia attached. The taste and service were really good, making the experience quite enjoyable. The atmosphere was decent—comfortable though not very special. The only concern was the Awadhi mutton, where the mutton pieces could have been a bit bigger in size.
Other than that, it was a lovely experience overall and still a place worth going back to for its flavors and memories.

Aminia’s biryani is served fairly quickly — a plus point if you’re hungry or in a rush. The portion size is generous, easily satisfying one person and sometimes enough to share. However, when it comes to taste, it doesn’t quite live up to the legacy its name carries. The flavor feels rather average — the rice lacks that deep, rich aroma you expect from an authentic Kolkata biryani, and the spices seem a bit muted. The mutton pieces, while well-cooked in appearance, are often not as tender as they should be, making the overall experience a little disappointing. It’s filling, yes, but not memorable.The firni at Aminia follows the same pattern — it arrives quickly and looks appealing, neatly served in a traditional earthen bowl. The portion is decent for the price, enough to end your meal on a sweet note. But when it comes to taste, it feels quite ordinary. The texture is a bit grainy, lacking the smooth, creamy richness that makes a good firni stand out. The sweetness is mild but doesn’t leave much flavor behind, and there’s little trace of saffron or rose essence that usually adds depth. Overall, it’s passable but not something you’d crave to come back for.

We always try their biryani, but this time we made a beeline for the kabobs, and I can tell you, they stole the show!
Stepping back into Aminia after loving their other place was the best decision. The kabobs were absolutely outstanding. This fantastic food, combined with the good quality overall, makes Aminia an excellent choice, though the service could be a little better.

Now the taste of biryani becomes poor rather than previous.
Service is disgusting. in non ac area 20-30 min no one come to take the order. After saying this happen the upper-post’s person also say that go to the AC area then fast order is taken.
Previously plated biriyani which is almost cool that is served.
Served “clean” water glass is not clean properly, saying this thing to service person they totally ignore it.
At last its very disappointing experience…but its not conceivable.

The charm of the olden days still persists in this Aminia restaurant. The food tastes the same and the service also is as good as it used to be. Would definitely be back for the delicious chaap and roomali roti!

Aminia Restaurant
Located at S N Banerjee Road, just opposite to New Market and Kolkata Municipal Corporation building. Very convenient to reach this place.
An iconic restaurant for Mughlai foods in Kolkata indeed!
They are operating in the same old building but maintained properly.
Food items are not cheap but as per their brand value.
One thing you to note that, they accept cash and cards, not UPI payment.
One more thing for your knowledge, the waiter may ask for tips. Don’t be surprised!
You may try this eatery when visiting Esplanade/New Market area in Kolkata.
