3 Reviews on “Calcutta Club”
A nice initiative by a mid aged person from West Bengal in India and he tried his best to make it worth the name. Kolkata, which was known as Calcutta earlier is the capital of West Bengal state and has a distinct culinary culture which is quite different to the more well known North Indian and South Indian cuisine. In this regard, Calcutta Club is very different Indian restaurant.
As far as the food is concerned, being an Indian Bengali, I would not say, it is Bengali food at its best. We had an office party there with a set course of items. We ate Fish fries, which was good. Cauliflower Fritters were not very good in taste. We were mainly excited to taste the Luchi (a fried flatbread made of flour) which is a very common item in daily Bengali life. However, the Luchis were not that attractive here with most of them lacking the softness it must have. Luchi is generally eatn with Aloo Dum ( a curry made of Potato) and Cholar Dal (a preparation made of Bengal gram). These two were so so here. Next item was Chicken Dakbunglow ( a chicken curry with eggs) and I liked it. The item which is worth mentioning is Bhetki Paturi. This is a preparation of Bekti fish with mustard and cooked inside banana leaves. I must say, they deserve 5 stars in this. However, at the end, the dessert item Rosogolla, a famous sweet item made of cottage cheese with sugar syrup was not at all upto the mark. It was no way near to the authentic Bengali Rosogolla.
To summarise, a very different restaurant, any Indian food lover must try. If you are not a Bengali, I must say the small deviations will be neglected by you and you will love it.
Excellent location but slightly towards the smaller side inside. We were a party of 4 adults and a baby on a pram. Which created a bit of an issue with space but they very kindly rearranged the tables a bit to accomodate us without disturbing the other diners. Excellent food and as authentic as you will find anywhere in The city I suppose when it comes to Bengali food from Kolkata. We had a very pleasant experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone with a craving for bengali food in Melbourne.
Its 3.5 actually, but due to coriander chicken, I got inclined chose 4, instead of 3. This place offers some authentic bengali dishes, and we tasted three of those! The combo of Luchi and Aloo posto was good, but I liked better the coriander chicken with rumali roti.
It is sad that we couldnt get Rosugullas or Rasmalai…but maybe next time!
The ambience is good and so is the service and hospitality.
