Shaam-e-Awadh — Restaurant in Kolkata

There are a very few restaurants which have been absolute torchbearers of authentic Awadhi food in Kolkata. Awadhi food with it's rich spices have always tantalized our tastebuds in Kolkata. With a classy touch and a beautiful charm, Shaam-e-Awadh is here to bring you the royal dining experience for all foodies out there! With quirky LED lights and matt finished wooden floors, this place has a very calm and serene vibe to it. The yellow coloured Awadhi style cutlery serves as a piece of attraction and also sets positive energy to this place. My recent visit to this place with a group of friends one fine afternoon turned out to be an amazing one.

Greeted by the staff, we settled ourselves at one fine corner of the 60 seater restaurant. Spacious yet comfortable seating arrangements with the road view through transparent glass interiors serves as an advantage of this place.

Our meal started off with some coolers to beat the heat! The Soda Sikanji and the Aam Panna was quite refreshing. The extra masala in the Soda Sikanji gave it a more or less spicy touch to it. The Aam Panna was the very basic one that we usually get. It was filling.

The staffs helped us with the menu and we finalized some of their signature delicacies. We had :

• Dahi ke Kebab • Paneer Shashlik • Galauti Kebab • Burrah Kebab • Bharwan Tangdi

We gave a shot at their signature soup as well. We tried :

• Tomato Dhaniya Shorba • Gosht Keema Biryani • Zafrani Pulao • Rara Murgh • Murgh Hari Mirch • Nargisi Kofta • Palak ke Rishte • Baigan Mirch ka Salan • Gosht Rogan Josh

We took two staples with the sides : • Mirchi Roti • Ulte Tawa ka Roti

The Indian breads were tender to tear and tossed well with butter. They went well with the gravy items and we had a great time munching them!

We were almost full after the grand meal. Somehow after a 15 minute halt, we ordered two of their handcrafted fantasies!

• Janat e Noor • Double ka Meetha

Words won't suffice for the experience that we had over here. This newly opened restaurant has in itself all the components to satisfy it's customers. The service, the excellent food quality and quantity, the decor and the ambience will make one happy. They deserve special mention for the eye catching presentation of each delicacy.

Pujo Ashche...aar matro 7 days!!

Shaam-e-Awadh is a casual dine in restaurant at Kalikapur which is serving some delicious mughlai food. They also have some Chinese dishes on their menu which are equally good. Comfortable sofa seating with yellow lighting and white decor is the perfect ambience to set your mood. You can enjoy yourself with your friends and family as the pocket pinch isn't too high. I tried their Pujo special menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. ✓Fresh lime soda - Pretty well made!! A good start to a have meal. ✓Angara murgh - The kebabs were juicy, soft and flavourful. The kebabs were not spicy yet delicious in taste. Totally loved this one! ✓Red chilli pepper dry - This chinese preparation of chicken was something I would recommend. A fiery spiced chicken lightly coated in batter and crispy fried with bell pepper, onions and chillies. Loved it!! ✓Chicken chaap - I liked the subtle flavour of the chaap, mildly spiced with a rich creamy gravy. It wasn't too oily and hence light on the stomach. You can pair it with any Indian bread of your choice. ✓Masala Kulcha - The kulcha was well stuffed with masala and can be shared since it is quite heavy. ✓Hyderabadi biryani - The Hyderabadi style biryani is generally prepared with a lot of spices and has a strong aroma. However, here the biryani wasn't over spiced. The mutton pieces were soft and tender. Generally I don't like mutton, however I relished this one. ✓Dum pukht biryani - Another mutton biryani preparation, which is light and flavoursome. Loved the mutton pieces which were meaty rather than reyazi. ✓Pardah biryani - The biryani is covered with a dough and then put on dum. It's a chicken biryani preparation and the meat was juicy. Light flavours and subtle taste makes it a good preparation. ✓Firni - This firni was really good. Not too sweet yet creamy and rich. Delicious way to end the meal!

They are delivering through Swiggy and Zomato. These are few of the dishes which they are serving for their pujo special menu. There are many more dishes which is definitely going to be a treat for the festive days.

Shaam E Awadh has re-opened after lockdown and now it is back with some Chinese variations too. And not too forget they were already dominating the biryanis over here.

Coming to the first we hopped on to the their chinese starter, The red chilli pepper chicken dry. Which was really spicy and I really enjoy hot and spicy food, so I loved it. It had a smell of wok and char to it making giving it a vibe of a street style.

Angara Murgh : Really tender, juicy and the malai was soaked well till inside, making it flavourful. 4 pieces are served in a plate.

Chicken Chaanp : Usually we have oily and spicy chaap everywhere, but this was different from that. It had mild flavours and less oil. The gravy was thick. And I thouroughly enjoyed it with the masala kulcha. Also it would go well with dum pukht biryani.

Biryanis : We had three biryanis here. Firstly, mutton hyderabadi, then dum pukht and lastly the pardaah biryani (chicken). One striking thing will be that the mutton was very soft that it just melted in my mouth. I personally loved the hyderabadi biryani the most. It was light, flavourful and the garnishing was top-notch. The rice from the dum pukht and pardaah biryani were more or less similar. Medium spicy. Long basmati rice. Tastes great with/without chaanp. The handis serve for two easily here.

The ambience is definitely top-noth. They have taken all the safety measures and adopted sanitizing methods too. The staff is very courteous and professional. They have a large television to watch match also. Sitting arrangements for about...
