In the busy streets of College Street, where bookshops, students, old buildings and everyday Kolkata life come together, Sufi Palace offers a different reason to stop for a meal.
Located at 113, Mahatma Gandhi Road, College Street, Sufi Palace is a multi-cuisine restaurant serving Mughlai, North Indian, Chinese, biryani, kebabs, rolls and seafood. The restaurant is also a short walk from MG Road Metro Station, making it convenient for visitors exploring College Street and central North Kolkata.
A place for biryani and kebabs
Biryani is one of the main attractions at Sufi Palace. Reviews frequently mention its mutton and chicken biryani, while kebabs and tandoori dishes are also popular choices. Some of the dishes listed among its popular offerings include Chicken Methi Malai, Masala Tikka, Chicken Kebab Platter, Mutton Tikia and Firni. For someone looking for a fuller Mughlai meal, the menu offers plenty of options beyond biryani. Kebabs, naan, curries and other North Indian preparations make it possible to build a meal around several dishes rather than ordering just one main course.
More than Mughlai food
Although Mughlai food is one of the restaurant’s better-known offerings, Sufi Palace has a much wider menu. Its listed cuisines include Chinese, North Indian, Mughlai, rolls, kebabs and seafood. That makes it useful for groups where everyone may not be looking for the same kind of food. One person can go for biryani, another for kebabs, while others can choose from the Chinese or seafood sections.
The Roll Menu at Sufi Palace
Sufi Palace has a separate roll menu that brings together familiar Kolkata favourites alongside more elaborate meat-filled rolls. The menu is divided into two sections: Zayka-e-Khas and Zayka-e-Lazzat.
The more affordable Zayka-e-Khas section includes everyday favourites such as Egg Roll (₹50), Paneer Roll (₹70), Chicken Roll (₹80), Mutton Roll (₹120), Double Egg Roll (₹70), Egg Vegetable Roll (₹70), Double Chicken Roll (₹110), Double Mutton Roll (₹160), Chicken Egg Roll (₹90) and Egg Paneer Roll (₹80).
For those looking for something more substantial, the Zayka-e-Lazzat section offers Tikiya Roll (₹210), Egg Tikiya Roll (₹220), Double Chicken Egg Roll (₹130), Double Egg Chicken Roll (₹110), Mutton Egg Roll (₹130), Double Mutton Egg Roll (₹170), Sufi Special Roll (₹190), Chicken Kati Kabab (₹250), Mutton Kati Kabab (₹320) and Sufi Paratha (₹240).
The menu also gives an idea of how Sufi Palace approaches the classic Kolkata roll, moving from simple egg and chicken combinations to richer options such as mutton, tikia and kati kabab. For someone exploring College Street through its food, the roll menu is an easy way to experience one of Kolkata’s most recognisable street-food styles in a restaurant setting.
