ARSALAN RESTAURANT & CATERER

Very bad quality of food during durga puja. Any road side stall is better than this.

The special arsalan kebab smells rotten. All othe curry we have tasted was very average.

I should have had lunch in my home.

I have dined here innumerable number of times but never had the opportunity to review it. So here it goes. The name ARSALAN tells it all. They are famous for their indian food specially biriyani in Kolkata. So it was a Friday afternoon and me and a friend decided to drop in to have some food. The outlet is just opposite the Mint at Majerhat. It has both AC and non AC seating arrangements. It was empty when we got there. There is not much to mention about the interior as they have not really changed anything right from the very 1st day. Pretty basic decor with curtains and lights. The one thing that is great to sit upstairs is that they have huge glass windows and u can get a full view of the streets beneath. Anyway we sat down and ordered pretty basic food which was mutton biriyani and Murgh Makhani. Food was served in about 15mins which was commendable.
1. Mutton Biriyani - it was served hot but really lacked that special ARSALAN taste. I have had much better biriyani here before but that day I found it rather very ordinary. But the mutton piece was quite good. Very soft and properly cooked, which was the saviour. The amount served was quite decent, no complaints in that.
2. Murgh Makhani - Now this dish was amazing. I can really feel the taste of that butter and cream. It was smooth and very very tasty. It really made up for the biriyani. The chicken pieces were soft and properly cooked and I loved the gravy.
So this was kind of a mixed experience for me as I have had better food here before. They also serve awesome Chinese food which I would definitely review in the future.
I don't know if anyone from the management would read this but if so plz try to improve the decor inside. I have seen plenty of stains on the walls specially around the AC's. Try to give some new and vibrant colours to the walls and I also missed music.

A little bit expensive after the new GST regulations.
Taste wise it's okay. It has became an old ambiant restaurant where everyone drools into Mughal foods. No selfie trends are seen over here.
