    Great place to have biriyani. We ordered mutton biriyani and mutton stew . The mutton size was not big but was soft. The other dish was delicious. That was suggested by the staff. If you love biriyani you must go once. Place is not too costly. For two we paid around 1300. Loved the potato in biriyani 😋. Overall highly recommended.

    The service was very nice . The balance of taste and quality was well maintained. We ordered tandoori roti with chicken tandoori masala , the dishes were plentiful and well cooked. I loved the ambience and the gentle light.

    Arsalan needs no introduction if you are from Kolkata. Arsalan is One of the best biriyani makers of the town. This park Street branch(located near Kareem's) has great ambience and service. Staffs are very well behaved. Parking space available (small though). Food is finger licking good as usual. Must try: Special Mutton Biryani, Special chicken Biryani, Tangri kabab.

    Just ok. No such biggggggggg difference inbetween local biriyani and arsalan biriyani. Just a hype. But the rice quality was fine and tasty . I just ordered chicken biryani, mutton chap and firni as Take away ordee. Total bill was more than 700 and it was not value worthy for me

    Go for their mutton biryani. Its delectable. Best place for mughlai dishes like kebabs and biryanis. Virgin mojito is also good. Bit heavy on the pocket though. Ideal dinner pocket pinch is 1500 for a couple.

    We have recently indulged ourselves to visit this restaurant as we often go to the other branches as well 😀. Most expectedly we are not disappointed with the quality. They maintain the standard without any ambiguity. Though we must acknowledge, the Hathibagan branch is more enjoyable because of large and spacious dining hall ,overall ambience also more attractive there. Public convenience is more available to Hathibagan branch.

    I ordered Mutton Biryani,chicken chaap and Chicken Reshmi kabab Mutton Biriyani was ok ok, I will rate 5/10 Reshmi kabab taste was very good 8/10 And Chicken chaap was worst, Gravy taste was burnt and oil floating all over it. I will not recommend this Arsalan outlet. I don't know about the other item's in the menu, but Biriyani and chaap was totally disappointing...

    The most favourite Arsalan outlet of mine in the city. Professionally trained staff and good food has always been served. They have never compromised on the quality of food.

    One of the most famous Biryani restaurants (chain) in Kolkata.Earlier they had only one outlet at Park Circus but now have many outlets throughout Kollkata and this one is situated near Park street. I visited during weekdays dinner time so not so busy,got the table immediately. Seating area is a type of fine dining (not exactly) ,it well maintained and clean. I ordered mutton biryani and chicken chap. Biryani was good ,full of fragrance and taste of whole Garam masala. Chap was perfectly spicy, service was fast,price was reasonable too,paid around 650 for the above dinner. Overall a good experience.

  • 3/5 PARNA G. 1 year ago on Google
    Arsalan a famous name for Moughlai dish has one branch in park street area. 2sitting area one at ground floor & 1st floor are mostly reserved for private party.. I went to this branch for the 1st time.. Ambience was not that great, rather ordinary.. Staff was very rude, as 3of my friend reached earlier n ordered a kebab.. I & one of my friend were 15min late.. As soon as we entered the person rudely said, "will u order now? Or stick with one order only.." They didn't bother to serve us also.. Food quality was very average.. Biriyani was not that tasty as we get it on other branch.. Arsalan is charging an unnecessary price now a days for food, sply Biriyani..

    Kolkata's Best Beriyani served here. I have tried all other places like Karim's, Owadh etc. But I felt Arsalan has its quality all time. Other preparation like Kebabs are also very mouth watering.

    Arsalan is one of my top choice in Park street area. Their mutton biryani is so delicious. Service and the inside environment is very nice. Visitors nearby park street area must try their items.

  • 1/5 Mizanur I. 5 months ago on Google • 58 reviews
    The worst Arsalan Outlet. I’ve ever visited. First to mention, the interior here in the peak region of Kolkata misses even small repairs to be done, ambience isn’t good. Now speaking about the Food. We ordered 1 mutton special biryani. 1 Garlic Butter naan. 1 Mutton pasanda. All were below average and the biryani was a disappointment to us. Not visiting here ever again.

  • 5/5 Lekha M. 2 months ago on Google • 48 reviews New
    Very very nice Restaurant really best ambience food service everything 5 star total 5 star very tasty biriyani we ordered 1 Hyderabadi mutton biryani which was really very tasty and delicious everyone please note only limited amount of itr is given do not think that too much itr is given the biryani was also plated with designed beetroots and mint leaves the greeting welcome and service you won't know they will greet so nicely and the service is excellent they treat you like king the gatekeeper is so welcoming and respectful. You will get biryani within 15 minutes no delay you may also try Lucknowi or Kolkata Biryani but we tried the Hyderabadi one. It is very very very recommended or highly recommended for Tourists & Foreighners The bill was also not too high just ₹500 appx for 1 Hyderabadi Mutton biryani which can approximately satisfy 2 adults you can take a kebab which are within range of 250-400 rupees with the biriyani also the best part is the Price for Chicken & Mutton for the Hyderabadi and Lucknowi Biryani are same. You can go there without any tension about bad service or food as per me I give it a good 5 star🌟 rating

  • 1/5 SACHIN D. 10 months ago on Google
    I ordered chicken biryani and this is what they gave. They give one big potato which is bigger than only a piece of chicken available in biryani. This POTATO RICE cost 350 Rs. Such a fake restaurant with fake reviews 🤬😡. Doesn't deserve single star also. Fake fake fake.

  • 3/5 Shirshak 1 year ago on Google
    I took 3 dishes. 1. Mutton Roast Kabab, 2. Special Mutton Biryani and 3. Chicken Tangri Butter Masala. Honestly speaking, only biryani was good. Though, I had better biryani than this. The other two items were extremely salty, spicy and did not taste good at all. Price is also not justified according to the experience. Spent 1500/- for two people.

  • 5/5 Nashid F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food. Huge quantity. Single plate biriyani is good for two persons. Food was light yet flavourful. Loved the soft, steamed potato in thd biriyani.

  • 4/5 MANOJ KUMAR R. 5 months ago on Google
    Mutton biriyani ₹387 was very good mutton is perfectly cooked with rice & potato but in kolkata i didn't find juice mutton piece everywhere mutton piece are dry only. price is little over priced but worth for its ambience and service. You also try the kashmiri dessert firni

  • 5/5 Al Amin R. 1 year ago on Google
    We have dined here and the quality of the food is very good. A variety of delicious food is available here. Biryani here is very special, tasty and delicious. 🍽️😋

  • 4/5 Prasoon S. 7 months ago on Google
    Good food. But service is not that great. People are only focused on tipping what they can get not on service quality or friendliness.

  • 4/5 Arijit B. 6 months ago on Google
    Good test of mughlai food, Good for Biriyani lovers, mutton biriyani recommended. Must try chicken malai kebab.

  • 3/5 Ayon B. 1 year ago on Google
    I don't why they take two times more than the MRP price in cold drinks while they are served in a bottle. If they served it in a glass ,I have no issues. Briyani price was fair but the taste was not as expected as I heard the hype. Mutton did not taste good.

  • 4/5 Chinmoy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the ambience. Before my trip to Kolkata I got recommendations for this restaurant. And, yes it’s true that this restaurant is too good. My favourite food is Biryani and I ate it in many cities in India. Arsalan’s biryani is one of best in India. Staffs are good and friendly. I will definitely visit this restaurant in my next trip to Kolkata

  • 3/5 Traveller's S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice ambiance only at ground floor. But whenever you will go there with family or group (we were 6 adults and 3 children) they will insist you to go upstairs which is not at all a good place to have dinner or lunch. Just a basic place with ordinary decoration or ambiance. I didn't like the place as per other Arsalan branch. Even there a Birthday party was going on with loud noisy atmosphere. But staffs are very helpful and good.

  • 5/5 Rahul D. 1 year ago on Google
    It was the first time I tried the Mutton Biryani at Arsalan and it tasted just delicious with enough quantity of rice which was soft and long, very soft and tender mutton...juicy and flavorful, even the potato was tasty. At first I found a half raw potato but they replaced it when I raised the issue. Overall a wonderful service with delicious food. )

😐 Simply come here for the atmosphere and history. Nothing should be eaten here. Cold coffee was a letdown. It was cold water that had been sweetened with a pinch of coffee. The fish kaviraji was satisfactory. Despite the fact that there is a no-smoking sign on the premises, I observed people smoking...

👍👍 Recently visited this place and trust me, it was worth every penny. The ambiance was great. We had Mutton Chello Kebab. The kebabs were very juicy and tender, I couldn't stop drooling! The egg yolk was runny and just perfect. The rice portion had a nice fresh smell and all together it was magical in...
