About Peshawri

Peshawri is a stronger choice for a focused North Indian meal in Kolkata than for casual grazing or delivery-first dining. Book it for a polished lunch or dinner where the room matters; cross-shop 6 Ballygunge Place or Rannaghor by Sienna if Bengali cooking is the main brief.

Peshawri is a Kolkata restaurant serving Indian cuisine, with Taranjit Singh listed as chef/owner. Its confirmed external recognition is from Opinionated About Dining: Top Restaurants in Asia Ranked #470 in 2025 and Recommended in 2026. For diners comparing Indian restaurants in the city, those are useful confirmed signals to weigh alongside the practical details.

The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner: 12:30–2:45 PM and 7–11:45 PM. The listed dress code is smart casual, so it is better framed as a planned restaurant meal than an improvised stop where dress and timing are afterthoughts.

Choose it for a focused Indian meal, not a casual all-rounder

The strongest verified case for considering Peshawri is clarity: it is an Indian restaurant in Kolkata with confirmed OAD recognition and daily lunch and dinner hours. That makes it easiest to consider when the group wants a specific Indian meal and a schedule that can work around either midday or evening service.

If the group is comparing other Kolkata options, 6 Ballygunge Place, Rannaghor by Sienna, Peter Cat, Saffron, Sienna Store & Cafe may be part of the broader shortlist. Peshawri's verified profile is narrower: Indian cuisine, smart-casual dress, lunch and dinner service every day, OAD recognition.

Plan around lunch, dinner, the verified basics

The practical advantage is consistency of hours. Peshawri lists the same service windows every day of the week: 12:30–2:45 PM for lunch and 7–11:45 PM for dinner. That makes it direct to plan, whether the meal is a daytime visit or an evening visit.

Beyond cuisine, chef/owner, hours, dress code, recognition, further specifics should not be assumed. The verified information here does not establish menu format, signature dishes, prices, seating capacity, delivery, takeout, or dietary accommodation details. If any of those points matter to your visit, confirm directly before going.

Quick reference: choose Peshawri for Indian dining in Kolkata, note the smart-casual dress code, use the daily lunch and dinner hours as the main planning guide.
