"Zam Zam started out as a utilitarian working-class eatery in a narrow, obscure lane in central Kolkata’s Entally area. A few years ago, the restaurant launched a swanky family-friendly outpost in the Park Circus area. Most people go to Zam Zam for the gently spiced beef biryani (typically found at Muslim weddings in Kolkata) served with a spicy yogurt drink called borhani, and the luscious beef malai in which chunks of beef float in a pool of cream-laden gravy best mopped up with parathas. The beef rolls, crammed with smoky nuggets of chargrilled beef, are immensely popular too." - Priyadarshini Chatterjee
