Haji Saheb, Park Circus
18 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/kolkata·21 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
Haji Saheb, especially the Park Circus branch, is a frequently recommended biryani spot, with several naming it among their favourites in Kolkata. One diner calls it underrated and says the mutton biryani's flavour and smell will win people over, while a couple of commenters suggest it as a budget-friendly alternative to Arsalan. The honest caveats: one diner's only complaint is that the biryani is oily, and another loves it despite the high fat; one commenter also prefers the non-veg gravies and naans here to the biryani.
