What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Zam Zam Restaurant is highly praised for its authentic and delicious Mughlai cuisine, particularly its renowned beef biryani, all offered at very reasonable prices. Diners love the flavorful dishes and the warm, inviting ambiance, making it a great value for money. However, some reviews mention potential issues with interior comfort and parking availability, suggesting takeout as a viable alternative.
"This is the oldest Zam Zam restaurant in Kolkata apart from Park Circus outlet. Food is delicious. Price is super reasonable. We had Beef Biriyani, Ghol, Salad."
PARTHA SAHA
"We had beef biriyani , beef malai and firni. Biriyani was great and affordable. I like my biriyani rice to be less moist but it's a subjective opinion. Nonetheless, the biriyani is flavourful. The quantity in one plate is more than adequate for one person. The beef pieces in the biriyani were properly cooked. The gravy in beef malai was amazing. However, the beef pieces in it could've been more cooked. Firni was good too.
Overall, a great hygienic place, both taste wise and price wise."
Subham Maiti
"Zam Zam started out a couple of decades ago in this locality. It has since opened elsewhere and also become renowned for biryani and other mughlai dishes. I had a mutton biryani, chicken bharta, butter naan, shahi tukra and phirni. All of them were great in taste especially the chicken bharta and desserts. The biryani was good but nothing extraordinary or worth remembering. Overall, I had a great time. The location is in the interiors and is difficult to find. Google Maps is of great aid here. It is not suitable to bring families here."
