Shiraz

With several outlets across the city (oldest one is at the Mullick Bazar Crossing), this is kind of an institution for Mughlai cuisine in this city. Serving the people of Kolkata since 1970, Shiraz’s legacy is such that there will hardly be a person you come across who hasn’t tasted their biryani. Although the place boasts of an enormous menu, of which everything deserves a try at least once, Shiraz's biryani with the chicken chaap should easily be on your ‘must eat before you die’ list.
