Aminia Dubai Featured on WeShare Originals

Bringing a 95 Year Old Kolkata Legacy to Dubai. Aminia Dubai was recently featured on WeShare Originals as part of their series 20 Mins: My Dubai Story, highlighting the journey of bringing one of Kolkata’s most historic restaurant brands to the UAE.

Founded in Zakaria Street, Kolkata in 1929, Aminia has spent over 95 years serving authentic Mughlai cuisine, legendary Kolkata Biryani, and traditional family recipes that have been passed down through generations. Today, Aminia Dubai proudly continues that story as the first international branch of the iconic Indian restaurant brand.

The feature focused on the growth of Aminia Dubai, the challenges of expanding a legacy family business internationally, and the vision for the future of the brand as it approaches 100 years of history.

Below is the official introduction written by WeShare Originals for the feature:

“What does it take to bring a 95-year-old food legacy to a new market?

This week on 20 Mins: My Dubai Story, we feature Amaad A. & Insha Amin, founders of Aminia Dubai, the UAE’s first branch of one of India’s most iconic Mughlai institutions.

They share how they’re modernising tradition, scaling a family business across borders, and honouring nearly a century of culinary craftsmanship.

A powerful lesson in cultural entrepreneurship, cross-generational branding, and bold ambition.

The feature was a proud moment for Aminia and reflects how far the brand has travelled from its original home in Kolkata to the rapidly growing food scene of Dubai Production City.

As Aminia continues its journey towards a century of heritage, the focus remains the same preserving authentic Mughlai flavours, celebrating family traditions, and introducing new audiences around the world to the legacy of Aminia Since 1929.
