Being an quintessential Bong, i prefer to call myself a biriyani connoisseur.. Especially, people in Kolkata are very particular about their preferred taste of Biriyani.. Hence, when i first heard about THE BIRYANI COMPANY - i thought that this will be yet another addition to those hundreds of restaurants which claim to serve the so called Kolkatar Biriyani but thankfully this one is different because it actually serves an authentic version of the Kolkata biriyani..
It is located near Mudiali club - 24, S.R DAS ROAD, Kolkata - 700026. It looks minuscule from outside however once you enter the restaurant - you get a very spacious vibe - doesn't look cramped from any angle. The decor is pretty simple yet very elegantly done..
We were greeted with a glass of buttermilk - it was yum!! to say the least - one of the best that i have tasted till date with a very distinct flavour.
Next in line were ULTE TAWA KE PARANTHE & MUTTON GALAWTI KEBAB - The kebabs were supremely delicious and for a change, one can feel the meat along with the spices when tasting the same as it melts in your mouth unlike most other places where the whole thing just melts and you don't get to feel the meat.. The parantha was a good add on..
We were then served with CHICKEN TANGDI KEBAB - very well prepared and left a good flavour on our taste buds.
It was time for the main course - we started off with MALABARI PARANTHE and MUTTON REZALA and CHICKEN CHAAP.. Firstly, i feel those paranthas were a great alternative to tandoori roti which is generally served with these two dishes in most eateries - Chicken Chaap was upto the mark (nothing special) and so was the Mutton Rezala but the addition of Malabari paranthe made all the difference ultimately.
Finally, it was time for the real deal - MUTTON BIRIYANI.. Deliciously made and was certainly a mouth watering experience. The aroma of the spices used in the biriyani which they import from Iran did set the tone perfectly even before we could dig in - the potato (a very important ingredient of Kolkata biriyani) was cooked to perfection and the mutton was juicy and very tender which complimented the fine rice quality as well..
Last but not the least, it was time for a dessert and what better than a delicious FIRNI served to you - it tempted us to dig in immediately and man we were really content to say the least - it was super yummy and a perfect end to an amazing dinner undoubtedly.
As the saying goes in Kolkata - if your biriyani is good - nothing else matters in that restaurant - it applies here as well and the icing on the cake is that everything else was also pretty good at this place.. Visit now - you won't regret..
Verdict : STRONGLY RECOMMENDED..
