For over nine decades, Aminia has stood as more than just a restaurant it has been a living piece of Kolkata’s culinary and cultural heritage. Recently featured in The Telegraph and T2 Goodlife Food Section, our story continues to be recognised as an important part of Kolkata’s rich food heritage.
On Wednesday 5th April 2023, Asil Amin was featured in The Telegraph T2 Goodlife Food Section, highlighting Aminia’s iconic Ramadan Haleem tradition and the legacy of one of Kolkata’s most historic restaurants. The feature recognised the importance of preserving authentic recipes, family traditions, and the role Aminia continues to play during Ramadan for generations of families across the city.
At the heart of this legacy is our iconic Ramadan Haleem, served every year in the bustling lanes of Zakaria Street, Kolkata the first original outlet of Aminia. For generations, families have gathered around their tables, eagerly awaiting that first spoonful after a long day of fasting. It’s not just a dish it’s a ritual, a moment of togetherness, and a taste of home that has been passed down through time.
As one of the most iconic Kolkata restaurants, Aminia is widely known for its authentic Kolkata biryani, traditional Mughlai cuisine, and heritage recipes dating back to 1929. Whether you are searching for the best haleem in Kolkata, a famous biryani restaurant in Kolkata, or an authentic Indian restaurant experience, Aminia continues to deliver unmatched flavour and legacy.
From the early days at Zakaria Street to multiple locations across the city, the expansion of the brand has been led by The Amins of Aminia, a family deeply committed to preserving tradition while growing the business. Their vision has taken Aminia beyond Kolkata, introducing the rich flavours of Mughlai cuisine to an international audience.
This journey has now reached Dubai, with Aminia proudly opening in Dubai Production City, bringing the essence of Kolkata’s most loved dishes to the UAE. Today, Aminia stands as a recognised Indian restaurant in Dubai, known for authentic biryani in Dubai, traditional haleem during Ramadan, and a true taste of Kolkata in the Middle East.
The Haleem, slow cooked to perfection with premium ingredients, reflects the same care, patience, and authenticity that has defined Aminia for over 90 years. From Ramadan specials in Kolkata to iftar dining in Dubai, Aminia continues to be a trusted name for families and food lovers alike.
As Ramadan returns each year, so does the familiar comfort of Aminia’s Haleem bringing with it memories of the past and the promise of many more to come. From Zakaria Street to Dubai Production City, the journey of Aminia is one of heritage, growth, and unwavering commitment to quality.
