Oudh 1590 — Restaurant in Kolkata

Today we visited Oudh 1590, and ordered special raan biriyani, Murg Bhuna, Galauti kebab, rumali roti, and two drink one is aam khaas, soda shikanji. So those people who didn't want to full experience for them it is a recommended place, but need to keep in mind this is one expensive place and if you need to eat more to full the tummy then this place going to cost you some money. Taste is very very light almost less spices all over the menu. So if you don't care about expensiveness and love less spicy biriyani and other gravies then go for it. And one more thing you are earning handsomely already is there any necessary to force us to buy that 75rs mineral water, atleast spare it when we already bought some drinks. Shameful behaviour.

Now time for elaboration See i don't talk about the ambience of the restaurant now a days, i only talk about this when ambience is not breathable or comfortable, so by that this is one of the beautiful ambience holder restaurant. Now about the food We ordered 1 special raan biriyani and this cost us 525 and it very comfortably serves 2 person. Taste wise i actually didn't like it because it is on the lighter side. Now Galauti kebab This kebab is i guess must have item we tried it without porota and enjoyed it fullest. This cost us 395. Murg bhuna ordered for rumali roti here is the bad taste, they serves medium 40-50gm chicken boneless pc with a good portion of gravy but gravy has so much tangy taste and it creates bad after taste absolutely not worth it, and ordered 2 rumali roti they 50 each but after 5 minutes it became rubber. Didn't wanted to mineral water to buy but they are forcing us to buy because i have already ordered aam khas and soda shikanji once again loved soda shikanji and aam khas is too tangy amd salty. Frankly speaking i am never going to visit this place because of expensiveness, mineral water bottle force buy, and very inconsistent tastes and light biriyani. But i understand there are few people who absolutely crave for light biriyani so for them this is good and recommended,unless there are better places present in our kolkata, very soon i will cover one place, till then stay safe eat healthy. Thank you for reading this. I am attaching photos as well please see them...

Me and my friend went for a dinner, with a good amount of expectations after seeing good ratings and reviews in Zomato. Our experience totally matched expectations. One of their senior staffs guided us to choose the biriyani and the kebab according to our preferences. We ordered:

Murgh Qalmi Kebab: Chicken leg piece marinated in yoghurt and various other spices along with saffron are properly marinated and tandoored. It just got melted in our mouth. Very mild taste, nor to spicy or over spiced. Four succulent pieces of chicken leg piece along with masala onion and 3 dips just kick starts the dinner perfectly. It is a must try. (5/5)

Gosht Awadhi Handi Biriyani (serves 2): It is a Awadh (Hyderabad) style biriyani pretty much different from Kolkata Biriyani and comes with two egg and two pieces of mutton. It doesn't contains potato like Kolkata Biriyani. The biriyani has balanced flavour of spices, kewra, meetha atat and gulab jaal, it was not overpowered with any of them. According to our taste buds it was very neither to spicy nor to blunt. The quantity was also sufficient for two and it comes in a clay pot. The only thing can be improved, that was the pieces of the mutton can be increased in size a little. Depending on the price it seems to be a little smaller in size. (4.5/5)

Phirni: One of my most favourite deserts from any of the cuisine and it was one of the must try from this restaurant. It was outstanding filled with dry fruits from inside. It was neither too sticky nor too runny. It tasted just like heaven. (5/5)

*Note: The things that can be improved was the size of the mutton in the biriyani, according to the price it can be improved and placing a bottle of mineral water of Rs. 75/- when you have regular mineral water in your restaurant is not atall fait. If you do not go through the menu properly you will think that it is the only option.

The behaviour of the staffs were very good and courteous, specially the senior person who took our order and again came to us after the food was served and asked for the feedback in such a grounded way, it makes the food taste much better with such kind...

The food of the mediaeval time has a great impact over the whole country, specially the cuisines of the Mughal era. The Biryani, The Qorma, The Nihari and the list goes on, everything is just mouth watering. The use of different spices each having it's distinct taste but when combined together is something beautiful. The OUDH 1590 does try to bring that same taste in today's world and sure they know how to do it perfectly. The OUDH 1590 tries to mimic the mediaeval era in an exquisite way....the dim yellow lights, the copper utensils, the artwork, the slow music and yes THE FOOD everything is on point. I would one must add this restaurant to their bucket list for experiencing the mediaeval food in that time. It's like a time travel. You have to reach the restaurant and get yourself a table booked by putting your name in the list. It's mostly crowded for eg I got a table for three in about 20 minutes of waiting. The place is easily accessible. The workers are professional and their hospitality is on a different level. The presentation of the food is also good. I've ordered a Dum Biryani handi, half plate Achari Chicken and a plate of chicken tikka for the main course and for the drinks I ordered aam pana and jalzeera. For the dessert I ordered their special Phirni. The food was excellent...the chicken was so tender and juicy, the fragrance and everything was just mouth watering. Phirni was also good.....my mother also makes the same phirni...so I guess it was no different for me😅. I would like to add that the jalzeera was on the higher side in terms of pricing.

The food was enough and filling for all three of us and the cost was around ₹1300.... that's kinda easy on the pocket considering the food, the ambience, the hospitality.

They also provide finger bowl and misri & saunf when we call for the bill.

My overall experience was good and I would recommend this for every person who wants to have a taste of the food of the Mughal times while having the overall experience...
