Lazeez Restaurant

Closest to authentic aadhi-Kolkata Biryani you'll get in Bangalore. The place has been revamped and remodeled but still it looks dimly lit and a bit unclean. What makes it a must visit is the food. The biryani is near authentic Kolkata food It's slightly on the expensive side, but this is expected considering it is one of the costliest cities in India. Can be a try if one is in the food from Kolkata.

Happened to try their mutton Biriyani today and absolutely loved it…..if you’re someone who enjoys the authentic Arabic flavour of Biriyani with less spices and over powering masala then you will love this treat from Lazeez….the mutton was so tender yet Smokey and was cooked in such a way that we could taste the meat and not the masala….rice had a very sutle flavour of masala and rather had the mutton fat and essence pierced into it which is very tough to find these days! Must try!

One of the best places in Bangalore to have the classic Kolkata Awadhi style biryani and my go to place here in the city...the taste is as close as it can get to the delicious Calcutta biryani..very few tables and a small no-frills restaurant. Staff are polite and service is good. The biryani rice itself is not too oily and not too dry..very balanced..the mutton pieces were pretty good but could have been just slightly more tender, soft and juicy...the decent-size potato piece (invariably the main highlight of the biryani) too was very tasty but could have been aa little more on the tender side...Do note they don't provide the egg which is a must...so make sure to ask for the boiled egg separately which we did :)..overall it remains my favourite place for Kol-style Biryani in Bangalore and Bengalis here must visit to get a decent taste of our homeland's most favourite dish.

The best kolkata style biriyani with potato (but they serve it without egg, half star deducted for that) I had in Koramangala Area is this, Lazeez. The biriyani was light, mutton pieces were soft n tender, aloo too. But my vegetarian colleague took a paneer dish with roti, and seeing that I thought edible oil prices had a catastrophic fall. (Other half star deducted for the abundance of oil in other dishes).
