Oudh 1590, Deshapriya Park, Kolkata

Terrible food. Taken Biryani & tomato soup. Could not finish eating as the taste was horrible.

Expensive.

Tiny crammed space. Tinier unisex washroom with no paper towels.

Sad experience.

Hi friends, today I'm going to share my view on oudh 1590, the outlet in deshopriyo park. If you want to taste really Awdhi flavor go to this restaurant. It will not disappoint you. It is five minute walk from lake mall. I went here with my friends in this Saraswati puja. The foods were mostly a hit.

First let's talk about is ambience. The restaurant has a palace like feel. With its craved walls and waiters dressed like nawabi khansama, this restaurant makes sure to give you a royal feel. The waiters welcomed us cordially and lead to our table. The interior decoration was created with elegant decor. Paintings, old furnitures, old boxes all were a beautiful treat for eyes.

Now lets come to the food. We were very tired when we entered there as we went there after some places tgat we travelled. So we first ordered badam sharbat. Then for starter we ordered qalmi kebab and sugandhi kebab. For main course we had Raan biriyani, Awadhi handi biriyani nehari khaas. For dessert we had phirni and shahi tukra.

BADAM SHARBAT: The sharbat was full of flavour of badam and the rich nutty taste with thick creamy curdy smoothness gives you a blast of flavour in your mouth. It was served in a peyala made of some metal giving you a feel like you are drinking from a silver glass. the sharbat took away all our tiredness and gives a soothing refreshing energy.5/5 on this.

QALMI KEBAB: They served 4 pieces of juicy tender perfectly cooked chicken kebab. Tge chicken was well marinated and you can tell by tasting this kebabs are made with utmost care. All the spices and flavours with the tender chicken pieces are absolutely die for. 5/5 for this.

SUGANDHI KEBAB: This was heavenly. Spicy flavor with a nice hint of Ghondhoraj lebu marry the soft tender chicken pieces very well. And the sour spicy taste is mouth watering. 4/5 for this.

RAAN BIRIYANI: This plate was good but I feel that it is a little over hyped. Biriyani is good as usual and yhe mutton pieces are also tender but nothing special. I thought the spices will be something very flavoursome but it was not.3/5 is okay for this.

AWADHI HANDI BIRIYANI: This plate came with two piece mutton and one egg in a handi made of silvery metal. And it speaks for the name. The right amount of Awadhi spices with well cooked rice made a heaven on earth for you. A toatal hit for me. 5/5 for this.

NEHARI KHAAS: This was a miss for me. I love spicy foods and expected it to be spicy. But it was not spicy at all. The gravy was not that good also. It has a soft mild taste but when it is in there Awadhi special menu you expect it to be fully packed with Awadhi spicy flavours.2/5 for this.

PHIRNI: I don't have a sweet tooth so I felt it would not be liked but the texture of firni with so subtle sweetness loaded with the creamy flavours made me its fan. Love the taste.6/5 for it.

SHAHI TUKRA: This dessert was a little bit sweeter than phirni. Rich kheer and bread was boosting the flavour and one will surely love it.4/5 for it.

Overall the restaurant is one of the best restaurant of Kolkata. Love the decor, food, clenliness, nawabi feel, courteous stuff. Definitely will go there again

Well after listening so much about the traditional AWADHI dishes and RAAN biriyani with GALOUTI kabab served at Oudh, cant restrained myself from enjoying it once by my own. Visited the place at last, with my friends at about 9'o clock at night, booked a table. After waiting about 20 minutes, got the call. The waiter guided us to the upper floor following by some footsteps. Managed a table for 6 friend including me. The place was well decorated with some wooden decorations and some wall paintings of Mughals. The light was gloomy along with ghazal playing in the background. They served us Galouti kabab, Ran biriyani, Chicken Sutli Kabab and one another mutton dish all in brass made dishes and glasses. The food quantity and quality both are good according to the price. The waiters are prompt. If you are a mughlai dish lover then you must visit this place once. I specially liked the GALOUTI kabab because of the soft and smooth mouth watering taste.

I went to Oudh 1590 on 23rd October at around 8.35 P.M.

I ordered Galawati Kebab and Lucknowi Paratha . The Lucknowi Paratha was very crisp and soft and Galawati Kebab was a delight too. Both of their taste is incredible.

It was a complete different atmosphere there. For some moments, I thought I was back in the Awadhi culture 1590s. The place is well decorated with wonderful lights, paintings on the walls. It is well furnished with wooden furnitures and it has a nice wooden finishing on the walls. The ghazals playing in the background make this place perfect for food lovers.

The staffs' behaviour is very good too.

It is worth for money.

You must visit this place if your are a food lover.

I visited Oudh 1590 with my family to have dinner on 11th November. We took a cab from Jadavpur at around 8:20 PM and reached the restaurant at around 8:55 PM.

When I entered inside the restaurant, the first thing I noticed is the decor of the place. It is well decorated with lights, glass paintings in the walls, and has very good wooden furnitures and amazing wooden finishing on the walls.

The ghazals playing in the background will take you back to the Awadhi Culture of 1590s. It was completely a different ambience . For a moment of seconds, it seemed to me as if we are in 1590.

The food are really delicious here . We ordered Lucknowi Paratha, Galawati Kebab and Awadhi Handi Biriyani. Lucknowi Paratha was very soft, crisp and the taste was incredible. Coming to Galawati Kebab, it was the most delicious Kebab I have eaten in my life. Awadhi Handi Biriyani was awesome too, the flavours were just brilliant.

The staffs are friendly and courteous.

Price is bit expensive but the restaurant's wonderful ambience and great food quality gives value for money.

After a great time having our dinner in Oudh 1590, we returned home at around 10:15 PM.

If you are a foodie, it is a must visit place for you.

One of my favorite restaurant in kolkata is Oudh 1590, deshapriya park. I have almost 8-10 times visited this restaurant to try various dishes. I must say whatever I ate is awesome.

Mughlai and awadhi types of available here. I have tried Raan Biriyani, Handi Biriyani, Galaouti kabab, kakori kabab, Gosht bhunna etc. Every dish is awesome.

The ambience of this restaurant is very good. You can feel the nababi gharana ambience as the interior of this restaurant inspired from them. Also every thing in this restaurant folowed the nababi theme.

I have liked few things and not liked few things in this restaurant. So I want to share my experience with you. So lets start with good things which I liked.

The quality of the food is top class. You surely remember this restaurant for its food quality.

Ambience is quiet impressive. Also the the interior.

Price is reasonable. For two it may cast arround 1000-1200 inr.

Connectivity of this place is also good. Any vehicle is available here.

Also home delivery and take home available here.

Don't liked :

Seat capacity is low. So in weekend you nay have to wait for 1 hr or more.

Service may be better.

Hello guys? Howdy? After a long time I have been here with you guys.  Today am gonna share a dinner experience with Oudh 1590. I spent a timing with my girlfriend yesterday night.

It's location in kolkata Deshapriya  Park.  But to me it's a wrong place selected for this restaurant. It's must be located near to the main street, it's quite away from the main road and hardly people know by its name. When we went for the dinner they ask us to wait outside the restaurant and we were literally drenched by this hot humidity. They must have given a waiting area for the customers. The restaurant from outside is fully wooden with rajasthani style decor.

The ambience e too much homely with absolutely no space to walk even. There was just a single washroom with no extra  wash basin.  The Washroom and the kitchen were exactly near to it and like any one can avail it it. Now let's come to our dinner part, we took Bhetki Tikka which was so yummy that we took another Tikka and also chicken tengri kabab. The Bhetki Tikka is awesomely better than that chicken. The chicken was also tender and juicy and they give a big leg piece. Then we took biriyani which was not expected to be so bad. Because we hear so many good reviews about this biriyani. Last but not the least - a platter is incomplete without a desert. We took Shahi tookra which was a big one and tastes so good.

The service was good but can't say excellent because they actually get puzzled with so many customers in such a small area.

Truely speaking I will not go again because of ambience. But I will again go only for Tikka.

So friends, I won't recommended this restaurant. But if you are fond of tikkas like I am you must go. Take away is also available.

Oudh 1590 is a traditional Awadhi restaurant in Kolkata. They offer mouth watering Nawabi cuisine. Nawab Wajid Ali Shah spent his last days in Kolkata, and true to his Nawabi tradition, Oudh 1590 serves the best of Biryanis and Kebabs in a great ambiance.

The decor is very nice and the waiters are decent and helpful. Sitting arrangement is very comfortable. My favorite dish is Moti Biryani and Galauti Kabab. You must also go for the Kakori Kabab. If you don't want mutton then go for Murgh Tengdi Kabab or Fish Tikka Kabab. My vegetarian friends can go for Shahi Dahi Kabab or Paneer Kabab. Choose from a variety of Biryanis, like Moti Biryani, Raan Biryani or Parda Biryani. Each is unique in taste, style and presentation. You can also try breads like Tandori Roti or Naan. Try it with Murgh Kasa, Rezala, or Chaap. Or else, go for Gosht Qorma, Bhuna or Rezala. Vegetarians try the Awadhi Daal or Paneer Qorma.

Sweet lovers can have a happy ending with Shahi Tukda, Phirni or Kulfi.

Don't miss the Paan shop outside the restaurant!

I have been one ardent fan of Awadhi food and hence of Oudh 1590.I have visited their Desapriya park branch several times.I know how amazing their interiors there.The period dining experienced goes up to another level when you dine in that awesome royale ambiabce.Background Ghazel and decorations create a perfect environment of mughal era.I ordered raan biryani, ghost biryani, tandoori roti, murgh irani and shahi tukra.Biryani was simply mouth watering and mutton was perfectly cooked.The moti biryani was nice and succulent chicken pieces in there.I really loved this side.Other items were also delicious.I would like to mention, if you want to have food fron Oudh 1590, go there and opt for dine in, take away or home delivery really takes away half the charm this place has to offer.A must visit eatery for all awadhi cuisine fanatics. Cheers!

Well I was eyeing this outlet for quite a long time. Finally got a chance past week to visit this place. One word for Oudh 1590- fabulous! I personally loved this place sooooo much that I have no words to explain. It is indeed a periodic dining experience. Ambience is awesome. The way they recieve their customers is praise worthy. Quality of food is amazing. Slow gazal being played with dim lighting is just perfect for love birds who are willing for a valentines day dinner or for family dining this place is the best. Taking about food. It was just perfect on my tastebuds. I don't like mutton but oudh made me fall in love with it. I and my elder sister went there. Believe me the quantity they serve is more than enough for 2 people! We both order rann briyani, galawati kebab ( must try) , murg irani, lucknowi parantha, murg briyani( packed for home) . The bill was just 1509 INR inclusive all taxes. I would say I have no regrets about this outlet of oudh. Its just awesome. Worth every penny paid. A must visit for every foodie!

We started off with Murgh Sugandhi Kebab and Galouti Kebab. Soda Sikanji and Aam Panna were ordered. The Awadhi Handi Biryani was to be the mains. The "sugandhi" kebab was a bit of a let down. I expected a better blend of a fragrance of'gondhoraj' along with the base of white meat. The kebab has a somewhat paste-dough texture and a remarkably faint whisper of gondhoraj. The Galouti was well charred, but also was heavy handed with the after bite of clove. That often kills the melt-in-mouth texture that a well done Galouti has. I would also state that the'onion' salad isn't a good companion to the chicken - it has a taste that is contrary to the one being attempted with the lime and shouldn't be paired at all.

The biryani was a generous portion - has 2 eggs. The cuts of meat are a disappointment. Seemed a bit away from the traditional pieces one expects in a biryani. The presentation is a good one and it does keep reasonably warm through the meal.

I would not recommend either of the starters. The biryani I would, but pair it with something which provides a bit of contrast - there is enough of biryani in the haandi to make it a monotonous taste.

A quick note about the staff - my seat was a convenient back-rest for various members of the staff as it was near the desk at the gate. It is an awkward experience to have the back-rest go thump, thump every now and then as a staff member is excitedly participating in banter across the length of the restaurant. Do avoid that table(first 4 seater on the right) as it will also catch slivers of daylight each time the door to the restaurant is opened . Also, I never did figure out why the staff member serving the chicken kebab decided to upturn the entire onion salad'on' my dish with the kebabs thus killing any taste with the sour after-taste of onions. I didn't ask for salad and neither was I asked for my preference. Just a quick dunking of "here's the salad" to a aghast looking me.

The restaurant is obviously popular, when we made our exit, there was a good group of folks waiting to be seated. I wouldn't quite say that it was a value-for-money experience. I've had better servings of similar food.

I first heard about this restaurant from my friend. Then I checked its rating in google, after seeing a high rating there I thought it would be better to celebrate my mother's birthday here. But frankly speaking we did not get a good service there. Our main concern was the quality of the food. It was very very poor. We ordered fish curry(Bhetki) which was very bad. We told them about it but they did not do anything about it. Moreover when we complained about their services they behaved very rudely. I was quite surprised that a restaurant which has 4.3 rating in google giving this kind of below average services. They actually ruined that special evening, we were so upset that we stopped eating and left this place with a very bad mood. I felt very bad because they destroyed the whole evening. I do not understand why people gave such a high rating in google! So from now I will not believe in google rating. Though the food was bad but the ambiance of the restaurant was good for your family and kids. I will recommend you guys please do not waste your time and money. There are many other reputed restaurants where you will find much more quality services than this.

We visited Oudh 1590 during the biryani festival week.The experience was just awwwsome.The ambience will make you feel that you are in 1590s.The ghazals playing in the background is a great addition to the ambience.Before visiting the place we heard a lot about the Galwati kebab so we gave it a try along with the Lucknowi paratha.Lucknowi paratha was something very new for us but we loved it.The mutton and fish kebabs which we ordered were quite good.We ordered 3 different kind of biriyanis and all were too good beyond our expectations : ).Will visit it during the pujas once again.

Small but beautifully decorated inside. I love the entrance gate, gives you a feeling that you are entering somewhere royal.

Low lighting and great wooden work inside creates that lovely feeling of fine dining. Coming to food I loved thei mutton preparation more than the chicken preparation. Not to miss is Galawti kebab and rann biriyani those are the famous item of Oudh.

Biriyani is very heavy and different from the normal biriyani you get here in kolkata.Be prepared to have a nice sleep afterwards because food here are very heavy and will make you feel sleepy later on.Price is on the reasonable side. You may find the quantity bit less earlier when they serve you but when you start eating you can feel how rich the items are prepared.Great option to eat around Desapriya Park.

Actually, one can't describe this place in words. Step inside and feel the AWADHI atmosphere.

I've been there for so many times. In my opinion, they make the BEST BIRIYANI in town. They use a special method called DAM PHUKT to make their biriyanis. And they taste HEAVENLY.

Recently i've gone their with one of my friends to give him feel of Nawab. Those familiar faces welcomed us with great gesture as usual. We were about to order Biriyani, but suddenly one waiter told us to try their new BHUNA KHICHDI. Me and my friends were mumbling in dillema that, they are special in AWADHI biriiyani not in KHICHDI. After a 2 minits of tug war in my, we ordered one KHICHDI with faith on them. Waiter told us, it won't be enough for both of us, but we didn't ordered anything else in dillema.

We waited for nearly 15 minutes and our food came in a small khadhai. The smell nearly gave us food orgasm. After having the 1st spoon of KHICHDI we simply blown away.   How a simple KHICDHI can be so delicious. We were stunned. It was like nothing we tasted before. It was rich, heavenly tastety and good for two if you are not in mood of having an entire 5 pound cake. Pun intended.:p

That day OUDH 1590 exceeded our expectation by a huge mile.

The DECOR is like NAWABI palace.

Waiter greets you like they have known you for very long.

And the foods. Can't say anything more.

Just go and indulge in their food. Highly Recommended.

Reservation is not necessary, unless it's festive season.

In BIRIYANI, Raan biriyani is recommended.

I have heard about this place for a long time and so decided to try the food here on 24th Oct. Since it was Puja time, the doors opened a bit late(7:45 pm) but they were prompt in allotting seats to the diners. Coming to the food, we loved the Gosht Biryani(Rs 310)and Raan Biryani(Rs 395) but Awadhi Handi Biryani(Rs 370) was a major let down. It was full of ghee/animal fat and didn't taste good.

Among the kebabs, Chicken Zafrani Kabab(Rs 280) and Chicken Qalmi Kabab(Rs 265) deserves special mention. I didn't like mutton Galawati Kabab(Rs 275) much. The portions were good and was sufficient for a family meal. The stewards were well dressed, looked good and was very well-mannered. I would love to come here again in future.

Oudh 1590 it's decor, hospitality and food makes me to visit the restaurant again and again. Oudh 1590 the name take us historical time specially remembering biriyani. It is near deshpriya park and good place to visit with family and friends.

The ambience and decoration will feel like we are sitting at lucknow. They have successfully created the authentic awadhi food. I have been to this place in the year 2013 and today also I remember the food. Their hospitality is very good yes the price is high.

Now  the food the best is Galoti kabab. It is their traditional, and awadhi sugandhi mahi definitely the 2nd best. Lip smacking kabab is so nicely made. Biriyani they make the lucknow style like little spicy. We went for gosht biriyani. In desert their own innovation is shahi tukra. The very good place to enjoy moglai khana.

Oudh came as a beautiful surprise for biryani love like me . Being a biryani snob, I've been very critical of most places and rejected most of them. As soon as we step outside the car, the facade in front is beautiful and ornate and a very attentive door keeper greets you. It will give a royal feeling . The minute you step in, an ornate mirror on the left decorated with red and green stones is very pretty. Wood carved arches will adorn the restaurant and tinted glass windows add to the feel . I adored the light fittings and utensils too

A very mughal decor is created and adds to the entire feel .

Coming to the food:

The galauti kebabs are the closest I have eaten to those cooked at Lucknow . And the texture of the paratha was velvety. The fragrance in the galauti did not over power the meat and was very well balanced. The awadhi biriyani was stunning too and we loved the pineapple raita.

The dessert stole the show. One of the best shahi tukdas ever .

What I loved about it was that when we came out, we saw a long queue and the staff made no hurry and we were allowed to take our own sweet time. Very commendable.

Good food. Even better service . Kudos!
