Aliah Banquet - Kolkata

Good enough! You can only quickly serve food here. Quality is also good enough after the price. Overall a good, affordable restaurant, with high-quality dishes.

This restaurant is very famous in Kolkata for its Biryani and phirni. They have one more outlet in syed Amir Ali avenue. The ambience is fine with a seating capacity of 50+ at a time. The food is really good here and you can come with your friends and family anytime to enjoy their Biryani. Recently a Biryani Festival was going on where you can have Biryani at just Rs 99. It included varients chicken Biryani only like afghani, kachi, hydrebadi, chicken tikka Biryani and rehsmi kabab Biryani.

Good food, small portions and average service, biryani can be tried once

Food Blogger Reviews are Biased (knowing or unknowingly) Aliah is located a few steps away from the main Park Circus 7 Point Crossing. It's a restaurant with a history of its own. I went for the Biriyani Festival that is going on here till 22nd December, 2018. And I sure have some concerns. #99walibiriyani • Chicken Tikka Biriyani Tasted good. The 2 chicken tikka pieces were really tender and tasy. And overall it tasted good. • Chicken Reshmi Biriyani Yet again, the 2 chicken pieces were good. Tender and juicy and the rice was fine. • Chicken Kolkata style Biriyani The chicken tasted fine and the rice was well cooked. Pros : 1. Good ambience. 2. The Biriyani tastes good. Cons : 1. The rice for all three were the same so nothing extraordinary there. 2. The chicken piece (Kolkata style biriyani) was tiny and hardly had any meat. 3. The portion sizes were small (especially Kolkata style Biriyani and Chicken Reshmi Biriyani), I've seen all the food bloggers brag about the portion size but probably because they were invited and served more quantity but it is not the same for the other customers. Just a marketing gimmic. 4. We went at around 12:15pm and the Hydrabadi, Afghani, Kacchi biriyani weren't ready and would only be ready at/after 1:30pm (Hydrabadi, Afghani) and at/after 2:30pm (Kacchi biriyani). Hence, if its a festival then you must have all your dishes ready when you open (11:00am) or just let everybody know which specific Biriyani will be ready at what time.

We went there during the Biryani Festival. Only 3 types of chicken biryani was available. Quantity was not good enough but at that throwaway price it was just fit. Taste of the rice could be a little better. Overall good experience there. Nice ambience and behaviour.
