Nizam's Restaurant

One of the legendary place in Kolkata, I liked the taste of biryani here. However I personally didn’t like Chicken Gravy which was ordered. This place was busy than usual and we had to wait for around 10 mins before getting the table but the rush says this place is popular among the people. Kathi roll is also a famous dish here.
This place is situated near the Hogg market in Esplanade and people going there for shopping should try this place.

What a Wonderful Experience I had here, One of the best biriyani I've ever eaten, Beautiful location with a Great ambience, Mutton kathi kababs are so delicious That too in not in a huge price, Highly recommended for a Good food options

hands down one of the best kathi rolls. no frills, meat wrapped in roti with onion, nimbu and green chilly. the best kinda roll. got the standard chicken kathi and mutton kathi. i prefer the chicken but mutton was good too. had to come here to pay my respect to the origins of kathi rolls.

if you are around near Esplanade then you tried of eating Chinese food , and wants to a beautiful mesmerizing ambience then you must try Nizam. We try famous nizam kathi roll and Murgha Biriyani, kathi roll taste good but come to biriyani portion is less according price and too much oli but but taste was too good.

Kolkata heritage restaurant since 1932.. I'm in love with beef 🐂🥩 menu.. You should try beef bhuna super test.. Next time I'll try beef halim..

Authentic, Delicious and Heritage.
I have heard people claim that it is now no more having the standards of the past but I would say it is still better than many other places.
If you are longing to taste Kolkata Biriyani then this can be the place with a reasonable price.

I have been here both in the nom AC segment and the AC segment. They serve you the best roll in Kolkata. At least the've been serving roll over many decades now. Must try roll here. Biriyani is good /decent but I have had better. But rolls would make you visit again. Deserts, firni is good but I would recommend the Begum pasand Malai. If you are reading this and have not visiting this place YET. I recommend you to visit NOW. Go relish the food they serve. Just at the ground floor of Hogg building corporation office, near Chaplin square, the lane opp to Elite movie hall.

Nizam's Restaurant, credited as the birthplace of the iconic Kathi Roll, is a culinary legend in the world of Indian cuisine. Specializing in Mughlai fare, this eatery offers a taste of history and tradition on every plate.

The Kathi Roll, an ingenious creation of Nizam's, is a delightful marriage of flavors and textures. The paratha, warm and flaky, cradles succulent fillings like marinated meats or spiced vegetables, delivering a satisfying blend of savory goodness. Each bite is a symphony of taste that leaves a lasting impression.

Beyond the Kathi Roll, Nizam's offers a rich menu of Mughlai dishes, including kebabs, biryanis, and curries. The aroma of their tantalizing curries wafts through the air, inviting you to savor the spices and aromatics that define this cuisine.

The restaurant's ambiance exudes a classic charm, making it an ideal setting for a gastronomic journey through Mughlai delights. The service is efficient and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Nizam's Restaurant, with its heritage and culinary innovation, is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Mughlai cuisine and the unforgettable Kathi Roll. It's a place where tradition and innovation come together to create a delightful culinary legacy.

Delicious kathi rolls... A must try when you come to Kolkata!

Note: No sauces added in the roll. Still delicious

Definitely one of the best restaurants to hop in while you are shopping at the new market. One of the best biriyani house in this city of joy. The mutton rezala is fingerlicking. Definitely try it out. The rolls are one of a kind.

There are two side by side divisions of the Nizam's restaurant. One's the smaller one and the other is the bigger one. As it's understood that the smaller accommodation is a substitute for when the bigger one is filled and busy.
We went in for a typical sunday evening hangout at Nizam's and the true essence of it's age old heritage was felt through and through via the ambience surrounding the place. Cleanliness wise it is pretty good and service wise - no questions asked. Super fast service!

Now coming to the main agendas. The menu could definitely be a little more vast with different options here and there and the prices are in the medium range (affordable but not too reasonable either). But prior to what's been stated, the food and its deliciousness with it's impeccable quality does make up for it! Don't know about the rolls or anything but the famous biryani along with some other dishes that they suggested were really worth quoting such a long paragraph for.
Thoroughly enjoyed the outing at Nizam's and would definitely love to visit it once again some time.

Highly recommended!

Excellent restaurant. One of most oldest restaurants in Kolkata city. Very good place for family friends and couples... Food is also good. Food delivery service is also good. Food prices are moderate. It is located near Esplanade metro station, opposite of KOLKATA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION Office. Overall it's budget friendly restaurant in Kolkata. Please visit and enjoy your meal.

I had heard the name of Nizam of Kolkata from many people, it is a very old food shop. It established in 1932. One is located in Dharmatala, Kolkata. Being a Muslim shop, their kababs, kabab kathi rolls, mutton korma, Biryani etc. are famous. People come from far and wide to enjoy the taste of food here. They continue to give people the same taste of food even today. I love this place.

If you are in Kolkata and non vegetarian then you must try Nizam rolls I heard that they invented rolls in Kolkata absolutely fantastic

Pros: Food is awesome in this place. The ambience of the ac section is good and comfortable.
Cons: You have to wait a long for the order to come. However the restauramt staff is transparent about this. They are telling that it may take this time. If you wish to switch you can

There food quality is good. I recommend for the Chicken tikka butter masala, it's taste is too good😋 but one thing I must say please keep clean the ac floor area. Cockroach's are walking on the floor. Nd their customer service is poor.

One of the oldest Restaurant that continues to maintain the taste and quality of the food at such reasonable prices since 1932. I feel it's the heart of New Market. And we never at once fail to visit Nizam whenever we're at New Market.

It's good to see the seating arrangements inside, that has changed drastically. It's all renovated with bright lights, quirky wall frames etc.
Loved everything.

Do visit to experience the beautiful delight.

I have tried Nizam's special mutton biriyani.. Mutton chaap , butter nun, keshar firni.. Egg chicken kathi roll.. Just awesome in taste 😍😍❤❤❤ must try.. But quantity of biriyani not satisfactory..

The taste is really good and the portions are also decent. But the price is a bit high for the Nizam's special, don't go for the special biryani, have the normal biryani instead. As they offer only one piece of extra mutton for double the rate. The kathi rolls are also delicious.

Kathi Roll,mutton biriyani,chicken Kathi kebab are my absolute favorite.
