Reviews Oh Calcutta Restaurant

What a day it was! Being Bengali Jamai Babu, I knew that people in Bengal go crazy on Dashmi day but this crazy? I tried for a reservation here, but this service was revoked and so was their ala carte system ..lol We reached here at 2 PM and it was 40 min waiting time which turned into 1 hr. finally got the table at 3 PM. They have a set menu (buffet) for the day and it consists of almost every item that a normal Bengali can desire (except biryani, wonder why they did not include biryani on the menu) Starters- -------------------- Chingri cutlet: I liked it most, crunchy, and filled with “fillers” :P Tandoori Ghee roast chicken: it was cold, not sure why they did not keep a small burner underneath the containers.. – 2.5/5 ( had it been served hot, the taste would have been different) Dimer Devil: good, nothing to mention… 3/5 Main course- ----------------------------- Cholar daal Kosha Alu Dum Narkol Phoolkopi Jhalfrezi Kacha lonka Murgi Mangsher Jhol Fish Fry Pabda Shorshay bata Chingri Mala curry I did not go for veg items, but all the nonveg items were good. Preparation, taste, service – all good. Dessert items also have Kheer, Payesh, Kalakand, Misti Doi, etc… Ambiance: it’s really good. Outsiders like me can feel the Bengali vibe here. On a normal day, one can enjoy the ambiance while having a meal. Today, everyone was in a rush to get mutton pieces as soon it was filled out..hahaha Service: though it was crowded, they maintained their service level Price 1399/PP Overall: Definitely recommended.. 4/5

I tried Gondharaj Fish (Bhetkti), Mango Ginger Chicken Tikka, Maccher Chaap in starter and Grand trunk chicken, Bhetki Paturi and Dal Makhani in main course. All the items were super delicious. One can taste the authentic Bengali food here however the portion is very small. The ambience is also good.

A great place to enjoy Bengali cuisines for non Bengalis (and even Bengalis). Food was great. We went for a buffet and had a good time. The taste of certain items on the menu were great and some had a standard taste, but none had a non-commendable taste. Polao was good and went really well mutton. Biryani was standard. But the kebabs for the appetizers were really juicy. No wonder they were emptying out fast. You can also order something off the menu as well at an additional charge, like we ordered kochuri specifically for the mutton. The place was not very crowded so a bit of laughter and chit chat made the ambience very social and inclusive.

It was great. We tried my first time bengali buffet 😋 here. I love the fish fry and the dessert 🍨 🥧. The main course is little bit more ghee. I don't recommend the buffet prawn. The ice-cream was awesome 👍 👌. If you want to try the bengali food 😋 this place is perfect for you. You must try the salmon fish fry, this is the best way to start you buffet.

Oh Calcutta! is a must visit restaurant. If you want to try authentic bengali food in a great ambience then you should go to Oh Calcutta! I have visited the Forum branch. The recommended items are 'Gondhoraj Vetki', 'Chingri Macher Malaikari', 'Nalen Gurer Ice cream'. But the restaurant is slightly over priced.
