Was on my work break and really fancied getting out and having a quick curry. I have been many times to Oh!Calcutta and they look after me very well. I told them I was on a quick break and despite it being a busy Saturday night were able to get my food served promptly and it tasted great. Great menu... More

A very different Indian restaurant. The place is organised in a much more open almost bustling cafeteria way than usual; nicely informal. But the star here is the beautifully flavoured food. My partner and I had different dishes and both thought they were amongst the best curries we had ever had. Prices are a touch higher than normal but worth... More

This is our go-to restaurant for Indian takeaway as the restaurant-quality food is always good and they do home delivery. On this occasion, we wanted to dine-in to celebrate a birthday. Service was prompt and attentive without being overbearing. Drinks were brought quickly, along with fresh poppadums and chutneys which were so lovely we had to ask for more! The... More

Calcutta couldn't be more different. It has a cafe vibe, no flock wallpaper in sight and a really good selection of fish curries. The menu has all your old... More
