Arsalan A Biryani Delight

Often my family tells me to expand my base for reviews and write about places which are not in Delhi, NCR. So I decided to write about all the restaurants I go during my trip to Kolkata, the city of life well according to me.

In Kolkata one can have good food at extremely reasonable prices. In all my years in Delhi, I thoroughly miss good Biryani, somehow the Biryani in Delhi doesn’t appeal to my palate.

My family and I visited Arsalan, to have Biryani. We visited the Circus avenue branch

Food

We ordered for a plate of Mutton Biryani, 2 Tandoori Rotis and a plate of Mutton Rezala. The Biryani is brilliant, the rice is perfectly cooked and they also a serve a healthy piece of Mutton along with it. The portion is good and the food overall delicious.

The Tandoori Rotis were also very good; none of them had the charred bits which are often present on Tandoori Rotis. However they were a bit thick and doughy for my taste. The Mutton Rezala was great, the mutton piece succulent, flavourful and delicious.

The gravy of the mutton Rezala was tasty also, just the right amount of buttery and creamy and the nuts made it a brilliant dish altogether

Finally we ended our meal with Firni. Firni is one of the things this restaurant, I think, makes the best. Even this around the Firni was brilliant and tasty.  This ensured that we ended our meal on a high note.

In many places I often find that the firni is a bit too scented or a bit runny but here it was perfect.

 

 

 For food I will give it

4/5 stars

 

 

 Service

Personally I have an issue with the service of this restaurant. I feel that at times when there is a crowd they tend to hurry customers which is a completely no-no for me.

When we reached and we were given our seats, after sometime a waiter came and asked for our orders when he had not yet given us the menu cards.

Rest everything was good. They serve the food fast enough which is an added bonus when your are really hungry

 

So for service I will give it

3/5 stars

 

Ambience

It is has a pleasant ambience. But above all it has got nothing much to say

On a negative point, it is generally very crowded and that is why it is never calm and so not a place which can provide a peaceful moment.  

On a high note its price is reasonable approximately Rs. 700 for two

Overall I would rate it

 3.5 stars

 

 

My verdict give it a try solely but for their Biryanis and Kebabs but it fails to provide anything more.
