Taskeen at Zakaria street, Kolkata offered special recipes like Murgh Changezi, Murgh Afghani, Murgh Taimuri and Mahi Akbari. The boys working here are very promt and efficient in service.
Chicken Biryani it was superb, awesome taste, good quantity and supreme quality The chicken pieces were cooked well and it was Fantastic. Absolutely loved the taste.
This is a very popular food joint located in Zakaria Street, just in front of Nakhoda Mosque. During Ramadan, there is a steep increase in the crowd visiting this eatery. But I personally believe it's not only a place which should be visited during Eid but also a place for a promenade in normal days as well.
The items I tried in Taskeen: •Peshawari Muragghan •Sheermal (a sweetened bread) •Falooda •Taskeen's lassi •Fish Mahi Akbari
The most famous dish here is Chicken Changezi (not tried) and Fish Mahi Akbari. But both of them are actually overhyped. On contrary, the least popular items taste quite good. The biggest negative side here is that everything is super expensive which actually failed to match with the quality, henceforth not worth it at all.
Taskeen kababs has deteriorated now. Its quality has gone down. Chicken changezi was super over cooked to the extent it was dark and hard. (Tenderness of chicken completely gone). Plus the service is pathetic and wait time is over 40mins (that's to if you shout out). Let down experience totally
If you are Chicken lover then Taskeen us a very must place to be they have such a good barbecue option and there Chicken Afgani is amazing, if you are willing to visit during Ramadan you can go there any time they keep open till 3 AM so if you are thinking just visit them
Next destination is Dilli 6 Lagoa Taskeen. 3 more items were taken from here. Fish Mahi Akbari (quarter ₹ 210), Chicken changezi (quarter ₹ 160), Falooda (₹ 70) Taskeen's faluda full lajabab which will not talk about boss. The changezi tower is pretty good, but the fish itself seemed to be nothing more than homemade fried catla fish.
We tried Chicken taimuri, chicken changezi and Mahi akbari.all dishes are mouth watering. Also, behaviour of shopkeeper is very nice. We missed faluda that time but will have next time.
I would give 2 star. Un hygienic, low quality over hyped and priced food. If someone is interested for off beat food, may visit Zakaria street but entire place is media hyped
Tried the Infamous Changezi Chicken Fry. Overhyped as usual. Just take chicken, add salt and deep fry in oil. Nothing spectacular, overpriced. Not a big fan. This place is running because of the name. Quality has severely declined.
Well words alone cannot describe how hood the food at this place is, I have visited this eatery along with my friend Happy as we are obsessed with their Changezi and then their fried chicken and not to forget the faluda they have got. So if you love food and are around Taskeen you should definitely visit this place for food that is worth for every penny you pay. Adios amigos.
ZAKARIA STREET is famous for its food specially in this month of Ramadan or Ramzan. So, yesterday we went to taste the foods there. We reached there around 7 pm, the place was filled with crowds and was also filled with mesmerizing smell of different foods Taskeen - it's just beside Dilli 6, We ordered here 1 quarter chicken changezi (8-9 pieces), price - 160/- and faluda, price - 70/- The taste of chicken changezi was too good, the spices were well blended with the chicken, faluda was extremely refreshing in this hot weather, it's a must try there
I had ordered specifically for Chicken Changezi with only their special Masala added. But they mixed butter with it and served. Which was big disappointment. When I complained the guy asked me to eat it saying you make payment for it.
Went to this outlet today. Tasted the faluda which was good. But at Rs 70 it is definitely overpriced. I also ordered chicken changazi which is their signature item. A quarter cost me 195 which is again overpriced I wanted to take some pictures to which the boy serving objected and his behaviour was quite rude to be honest. Lastly being an officer of consumer affairs department I was surprised to see no printed bill is given. Very strange indeed My experience is it is definitely overhyped. Sorry but waiting 40 minutes for an order is too much.
Owner ki Jabaan bahut ghatiya/gandii/wahiyat hai. Very rude owner. Not having a penny respect for customers. When we asked politely that why is he being rude (the matter being that we made upi payment for our item on the displayed QR code present at their table. Then he started shouting that we were required to pay cash only.) He started shouting and talking arrogantly and started blaming us for being talking rudely. And even his falooda was not upto the mark.
Go to dilli 6 just beyond his shop for a good food. If you can't locate dilli 6 then feel free to ask the taskin shop owner for dilli 6 location. He may not bite you.
