Oh Calcutta!

The antithesis of everything the red velvet Indian restaurants of yesteryear represent, this vibrant canteen-style diamond in the dust cannot be ignored.

Along with fantastic bangra, club-worthy lighting, authentic, fresher-than-fresh fare, you’ll find everyone from young families to pensioners to the extended families of the staff in here, sharing the vibe (and some great fish specialities like the snapper pakora and red snapper in spiced sauce with coconut cream and fresh lime). When the huge screens aren’t playing silent Bollywood classics, they’re used for major sporting events from the World Cup to the Ashes, making this the perfect refilling station whatever the situation.
