Dubai Gets a Taste of Kolkata’s Iconic Aminia Restaurant – Now Open in Al Karama
If you know, you know – Aminia isn’t just any restaurant. It’s a culinary legend from New Market, Kolkata, with over 95 years of heritage dating back to the British Raj. A go-to spot for generations of food lovers (including celebs like MF Hussain, Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Brar, and Sania Mirza), this much-loved institution has finally made its way to Dubai, serving the same OG Mughlai magic that made it famous.
The menu is a delicious trip back in time, featuring classics like the rich and flavour-packed Mutton Rezala, and the fusion-style Aminia Special Mutton Curry – a colonial-era creation that still hits all the right notes. Don’t leave without trying their authentic Kolkata Biryani, complete with the iconic potato (you’ll understand once you try it), or the Kolkata Kathi Rolls, straight from the streets of Bengal. Mughlai fans, take note of dishes like Chicken Tikka Butter Masala and Mutton Rogan Josh that are in a league of their own.
And when it’s time for dessert, make room for the Aminia Special Pudding, a rich, comforting indulgence made with milk, bread, and eggs or the delicious Firni, known for its unique flavour and creamy finish.
From timeless flavours to hearty portions, Aminia Dubai is all about celebrating food that’s steeped in history and infused with rich flavour. So whether you’re chasing nostalgia or just hungry for something new, this one’s worth a visit.
