Kolkata Cricket Club

Had a wonderful dining experience at Kolkata Cricket Club. The food was delicious, the service attentive, and the ambience sophisticated. Absolute favourite dishes were the lamb seehk kebab, goat curry and butter chicken, paired wonderfully with light, fluffy and tandoor charred regular and garlic naan. Desserts were refreshing and delicious with the standout for me being the gulab. Looking forward to going back.

What a sumptuous meal at Kolkata Cricket Club at Crown Melbourne! The restaurant serves Bengali cuisine, cooking from real coal tandoor at the restaurant which you can see through its glass frontage as you approach the restaurant. Our favorite dish(es) today : - Puchka (Hollow fried wheat pastry filled with spiced chickpea, potatoes with a tangy tamarind water) - it was a tasty bomb in the mouth - Mach Posto (whole tandoori barramundi with a Posto "white poppy seed" curry - the fish was sweet and smoky from the tandoor and the curry sauce was tasty - Kosha Mangsho (Bengali goat curry w caramelized onion, yogurt & mustard oil) - a good hint of spices with tender goat meat - Saag Paneer (home-made malai paneer) - the paneer was so soft and pillowy it melted in our mouth - Butter chicken (tandoor chicken, butter, cream & tomato curry) tasted interesting different from your usual butter chicken. We loved the new taste. And of course we soaked up all that flavorsome curries with the fluffy naans which were delicious! With regret we could not try the Zucchini flowers, which the diners at the table next to us said was delicious, coz they ran out. Next time.... There was a varied range of cocktails & mocktails with blended Indian spices that we enjoyed. Dessert we had an interesting Brulé - a half cheek of mango which had sugar on the top done "Brulé " style (we heard the crack as we dig in) and it came with cultured cream and a lemon verbena. We also had Chena Gulab Jamun (a dumpling that was doused with a whey & saffron syrup) which was tasty too. We finished the meal with iced/hot expresso and left delightfully full and satisfied!

Loved the decor and lighting, location is great along the first floor above the food court. We went on opening day- the staff are lovely but seemed super flustered, our order took ages and the food was bland and not exciting. Seemed to be designed for a western palate. Will give it another chance once they’ve had a few weeks to sort out the teething issues

The service was fantastic couldn’t fault it but the food was the letdown. It’s catered for the western palate so no spice or chilli. We ordered the butter chicken, prawns, eggplant dish, seekh kebab, rice & dhal. The serving sizes are tiny so prepare to be ripped off. The only highlight was the garlic naan. The atmosphere was nice. Overall it was ok would not visit again.

The staff front of house were great. Quick service, friendly and had good suggestion with what to order and what would pair well. The food was next level salty. I’m almost nervous I’m going to get a kidney stone. We passed it back regarding the puchka and could hear the chef say ‘it’s a Bombay version’ and disregarded it, the seekh kebab and butter chicken were exactly the same - super salty and the okra was bland. The serving size was also tiny for what it was, expect to pay $75 per head and still walk away looking to get food elsewhere. Hopefully the chef is humbled soon and takes feedback on board.

Very poor service. We decided to spend our landmark Anniversary at this restaurant but they completely ruined the occasion. Firstly it took half an hour for them to take our drinks order, entree’s came one at a time and at long intervals. We almost fell to sleep by the time our mains came. We had no patience to order desserts after. Never ever going back and will not recommend this to anyone. Food was below average too.

The atmosphere was excellent and captured the charm of old world Indian clubs. The food was delicious and service was top class.

Got turned away at 9:20pm when it say the venue closes at 10pm. Given the restaurant has only been open for 1 day, you would think they would take guests up until the closing time to get feedback. Say on the website it should say the kitchen closes at 9pm so people don’t get disappointed.
