NDTV Food Awards 2026: Aminia Wins Historic Restaurant Of India

Some restaurants are more than places to eat, and that is exactly what Aminia is for its loyal diners. That legacy began in 1929, when founder Abdul Rahim started a small food cart in Kolkata after bringing culinary traditions from Dariabad near Lucknow. What started as a modest venture grew into one of Eastern India's most loved restaurant brands. NDTV is proud to present the Historic Restaurant of India award to Aminia.
