The one in Salt Lake is so filthy that it makes my skin crawl. So do not go to it. I am yet to visit the one on Park Circus recently, will do it as part of continuing coverage of 'The Biryani Triangle'<br /><br />Rahmania - I am yet to visit their original Park Circus location. They too like Shiraz have several locations now. I know there is 2 in Salt Lake, one in Lake Town, one in Shyambazar. We used to order regularly from the one close to our house - the Biryani itself is not bad, however they still use "Dalda" or "frozen vegetable oil" which really sticks to the roof of your mouth and it is not something I don't care for as an after food experience. <br /><br />Badshah - I am not sure if Badshah was every really known for their Biryanis. I can still vouch for their rolls. I have lost count of how many times this place has opened and closed due to labour union problems. And now they sell everything - chinese, indian, biryani, kebabs. Sadly it has become a "roll-chowmien" place. Their rolls have still remained amazing though. <br /><br />Oh BTW - You missed out on another Biryani biggie, that people swear by - "Royal" on Chitpur road is a tradition of it's own. I hear they are joining the band-wagon on Park Circus soon. <br /><br />More Biryani and food stuff to follow on this blog, keep watching this space for more action !theconservativefoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743785380726669134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7227049443203118838.post-12097701628700662852010-08-02T03:38:26.656-07:002010-08-02T03:38:26.656-07:00Your blog and pictures made my mouth water with th...Your blog and pictures made my mouth water with the happy memories of the smell and taste of the Kolkata Biriyani. I guess Arsalan and Zeeshan are toddlers compared to the legends of the old - Amenia, Shiraz, Rahmania, Badsha et al. <br /><br />The Hyderabadi, Delhi-wali and Luckhnowi has its own attraction but Kolkata Biriyani is some how different and special. It is cooked in the "Yakhni" style (where the meat with bones is boiled along with a spice bag of ginger, garlic and onion) and then added to rice stirred in ghee. I guess an attar(essence) is used to enhance the flavour also. <br /><br />As part of my annual pilgrimage to India that I make it a point to have a taste of the happy memories. I look forward to more in this blog to schedule my "food-to-do-list".Saikat Ghoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00117151097055993954noreply@blogger.com
