India Restaurant (Kidderpore)

Murgh Peshwari Kebab

On a cloudy July afternoon, me and two of my friends set off on a trail to taste one of the best and authentic kebabs in Kolkata. Our destination was khidderpore, an area known for goods available in cheap prices. It is a muslim locality hence most of the restaurants serves authentic mughlai cuisine. We chose the Indian Restaurant for trying out kebabs. The restaurant is quite spacious with separate A.C and non A.C sitting areas. Even in a normal weekday afternoon, there was a constant flow of customers. Since we had only kebab in mind, we straightaway dived into the kebab menu.
