Manzilat's

Great to enjoy Awadhi cuisine warmth prepared by Begum Manzilat Fatima, great great granddaughter of Wajid Ali Shah. If you love Biriyani and want to enjoy the aroma of zafran, it’s a must visit. Don’t miss the Galawti kebab and the paratha. She prepares all Awadhi cuisines by herself and personally attends to all her guests. The secret recipe is still hidden with her. Anyone who would still love to enjoy the Awadhi legacy must visit Manzilat.

A very good and unique experience, should definitely try this place. Book in advance. The owner is very sweet and welcoming. The staffs are very friendly as well. The ambience is amazing as well especially during the night. There are a lot of plants on the terrace, hence you might occasionally encounter a rats or a lizard.

Teste is very good & A different taste than everyone else. We order murgh biriyani, chicken chaap & firni. Firni's teste is much better than Arsalan or aminia.awesomeWe enjoyed alot for this amazing ambience to take our lunch. In my opinion to others if people is too much foody one biriyani is probably not enough for it. Order 2 plate it's better.Thank you for giving such a beautiful teste madam "Manzilat"❤️

Food was delicious, specially ulte tawa paratha and galawti kebab. We liked the ambiance, we clicked nice photos on the rooftop too. Would recommend to visit and taste the food enjoy the legacy! Service can be better though Note: you have to pre book dishes 2 days prior to visiting, will be difficult for older people as there is no lift you have to climb to 4 flights of stairs

If you are looking for a fine dining experience, then this is not the place. You actually need to book this place 2-3 days before, not a walk in restaurant. You need to climb three floors to reach the place, order 2 days before and yet, when the food is served, it will be all worth it. The owner is the descendant of Wajid Ali Shah and the Biriyani is the mother of Calcutta Biriyani which walked right from Lucknow. Don't try the khus ka sharbat, rest everything else is awe(wow)some. This place is a vibe and reels of History behind good food.

"Absolutely! Manzilat's is undoubtedly a hidden gem for biryani enthusiasts in Kolkata. The fact that the owner hails from a Nawab family with a biryani legacy makes the dining experience even more special. The biryani here is a tantalizing fusion of flavors, featuring perfectly cooked rice and tender, flavorful meat or vegetables. The aroma alone is enough to whet your appetite. It's a must-visit place for anyone who craves an authentic and delightful biryani experience. Don't miss out on this culinary treasure! As a biryani lover who appreciates the art of cooking, I can attest that their biryani is truly authentic and exceptional. Even though I can make biryani and other recipes myself, there's something genuinely unique about the flavors and preparation at Manzilat's. It's an extraordinary culinary experience that I highly recommend to anyone seeking the best of Kolkata's biryani tradition."

We got biriyani, galawti kabab and firni pre-ordered 2 days before with 2 biriyanis for takeaway. Even though the items are overpriced, it was a pleasant dining experience. Service was pretty fast, there was no one else at the time. The biriyani had less oil, 2 tiny pieces of mutton, 1 potato and tasted great. Galawti kabab melted in the mouth and the firni was smooth. However, the major disappointment was that in one of the biryanis we had for takeaway had no meat or potatoes whatsoever. They responded and refunded for the same.
