We had lunch at Zaranj today and it was brilliant. This was located close to New Market in Kolkata so it was convenient for us. The interior of the restaurant is brilliant with fountains and intricate carvings being integrated into the design. The menu was vast and they had different recipes of biriyani on offer, we went for Hyderabadi and Lucknowi biriyanis and they tasted amazing! Staff were great and helpful. A very good lunch that didn't break the bank.

Visited Zaranj with my family and friends and had a wonderful experience. The service was impressive and the food quality was excellent. The staff were extremely polite and generous, and the ambiance was truly delightful. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the overall experience makes it absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

Zaranj in Kolkata is a classic fine-dining restaurant known for its elegant ambience and authentic North Indian and Mughlai cuisine. Signature dishes like the Zaranji Raan, kebabs, and rich curries are full of flavor, and the service is courteous and professional. It is on the pricier side, but the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience make it one of the city’s standout dining spots. One of the dining section is closed as AC maintenance is going on.
