The food was very fresh, well prepared, and so delicious! We had the Chicken Kati roll, Chli Chicken, Gunpowder Veg, Pork Butter Masala, and some rice and naan. This was just the right amount for 2 people, so we had room for Kulfi to share for dessert. � Our server was so friendly and helpful when we ordered. That made our experience even more exceptional. It’s a beautiful space and extremely busy, you may want to call ahead for a reservation. I highly recommend.
Beautiful restaurant, great patio, great service and most of all amazing food and drinks. We tried all the curries, chili chicken, kati wraps and desserts and we loved them all! Portions are small but sooo good and worth it!!!
Amazing food and great atmosphere; highly recommend a reservation, but at the same time just as high of a recommendation to sit at the bar and converse with the bartenders...they're an awesome bunch!
My new favourite place!
Just what Calgary needed! A fresh take on Indian food serving lighter fare in a sweet venue. Decor and patio onnnn point!
Had an amazing time. The food was excellent and the ambiance was absolutely amazing I recommend this place! 5 star
We came in for Brunch last Sunday, the food was delicious!! Loved the Chi tea and the pineapple mimosa is an awesome twist. Most of all the service was Great!!
Sports clubs - a residual feature of colonial British culture that still remains embedded in the very DNA of Calcutta! Both the ambiance and the menu transported me Calcutta allowing me to sample not only the amazing street food but also the unique creations that you will only find in a Calcutta Club! Excellent food - only requires bigger portions!
Amazing food, amazing decor, amazing staff and service. Had a lovely birthday celebration and night. I will surely go back!
We enjoyed my daughters Birthday dinner here. We all loved the cocktails,the food,the service and the atmosphere. So happy to see so many gluten free options. We will definitely be back for more.
The perfect brunch spot. Thank you for the lovely meal!
Fabulous food, atmosphere, staff, and patio!! the same team that did Mexican right (Native Tongues) has done it again, this time with Indian. Best Patio on 17th by far!
Truly amazing food and great wait staff...it was a great evening!
enjoyed our brunch here .. would totally recommend it!
Great We showed up without reso and they let us sit at the bar until our table was ready . We were seated on the veranda quickly but we still got to enjoy unique and delish cocktails at the bar. Service was great and we loved all our menu choices. Must try Bison biyirani!!!
Hi CCC. I finally managed to visit your restaurant last night. I love your food and ambiance. I'm still enjoying some of the food today that I had take away. Your service was fantastic as well. I will definitely be back and invite friends. One last note...thanks for adding spice, originality and cool ambiance... Calgary needs more of that!
Had a blast. Loved the decor, food was delicious and the cocktails were both creative and way too easy to drink. I will be back.
I love this place. The cuisine of my hometown. Biryani was top notch.
Beautiful ambience. Felt like I was in Calcutta. Food tastes amazing, perfectly spiced. Definitely one of my favourite spots.
Great food and drinks at this place. The service was friendly, prompt and memorable.
We are bringing all 6 here, great place
Amazing food and drinks! All the servers were friendly and attentive! Cannot wait to come back here!
Bring some friends, order cocktails and a bunch of plates to share!
Nice upscale & trendy Indian restaurant located on the prime 17th Ave. Definitely recommended for someone who would like to good Indian food. The price is a bit on the higher side for the portion size served. The Railway chai is a high to end your meal.
I absolutely live this place!!! The food is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing and it's just a great spot to go to with friends. Share dishes! I love the chili chicken, beef curry and the fries. OMG so good!
Upon entering the building you are greeted with beautiful aromas and soft lighting. Ambience is superb. Service was also amazing, I didn't catch our servers name but he explained the menu and offered suggestions which is appreciated. He was also quite funny and charming, nice to see some personality. Food was good, maybe a little heavy on the salt. Chili chicken starter very good with just a touch of heat. Lamb kati rolls, lamb was good and loved the pastry but very salty. duck vindaloo could have used a bit more rendering in places but lentils and flavoring good. Will opt for a beer or cocktail next time to balance the seasoning. Thanks will be back to to try more!
Visited here with our hosts for the weekend. Great atmosphere and the food and drink we had was excellent, especially the chicken chilli started. The service was friendly and efficient and the pricing reasonable for the location. The only thing stopping me giving and excellent rating was the very limited main course menu.
Funky tropical decor & eclectic tunes creates a really cool vibe. Good intro to Indian food for 17th Ave. Small plates are better than entrées & they’re 1/2 off during happy hour! (4.5/5)
I highly recommend giving Calcutta Cricket Club a visit when you’re next craving Indian cuisine, but not sure you want to commit to a more traditional meal. You also definitely don't want to miss their happy hour from 5-6pm - 50% off all bar snacks and $5 beers on tap made our recent binge there quite affordable. In addition to the lovely food, the interior decor is stunning and the level of service we received was attentive and unpretentious. I usually manage to think of something I didn’t like about a place when I do a review, but the only problem was me ordering a dish I wouldn’t have chosen if I’d given myself more time to read the menu – my bad! Every course from the honey-drizzled paneer to the cookies and cream kulfi was fantastic. Come for the happy hour snacks, stay for the cravable cocktails, curry and kati rolls.
Based on Eric and Gwendolyn’s recommendations, we ordered the Chips and Curry (HH $5, reg $10), Chilli Chicken (HH $7.50, reg $13), Paneer and Honey (HH $4, reg $8), and a Kati Roll - Tandoori Spiced Chicken ($8) with an egg ($1.50).
Where do I begin...?? This place was so good! But you should just to be safe make a reso. We ordered a little of this and that from the menu and left completely satisfied!
There has been a lot of hype about this new restaurant on 17th Avenue. I’ve not been keen to try it because they don’t take reservations… this is one of my biggest pet peeves of any restaurant! So, three of us decided to go here on a very cold, snowy, winter evening. We showed up before 5:30 and easily got in, but by the time we left the restaurant was almost full.
My husband and I came to dine at this restaurant as we heard lots of good things from friends. It was Saturday eve and the wait wasn't too bad. We started off at the bar and moved to a table where it was easier to talk. Food was delicious, the cajun chicken kati roll was delicious as well as the short rib biryani 👍👍. Service was good as well. Would definitely return back to try more things on the menu.
Originally hesitant to go to this restaurant only because it does not have reservations. Regardless- the food and service was excellent. I recommend the beet and kale dish as well as the lamb and their cocktails are well constructed. Our sever was fun and knowledgeable. Cricket Club has the atmosphere of the fashionable supper clubs that exist in Montreal; essentially attractive and fashionable people having fun.
I've eaten here a couple of times in larger groups so it's nice to split things. The beer is fairly expensive for the pour size but it is 17 ave. both times we ordered pretty much every snack and a few appetizers. The curries and mains were also very tasty. I'm no expert on Indian food but I do know both times we ate there the service was great and on average the spend per head, after tax and grat, was around $40 which is crazy cheap for how much food we got. Overall the food was very diverse and interesting. One time we ordered a chicken dish and it was definitely raw so they took it back no questions asked. I'll go here again once they get new dishes for the winter.
When ever I try recommended restaurant by friends, normally ends not that great. But then this time around too start was not that great. I would request Calcutta cricket club to give tables if they are empty rather than making people wait. So start was wait for 40 mins. But then we requested to give us food fast as we had flight to catch. Service after request was pretty quick and that made my day. We tried puchkas which were heaven as I like them chilled and spicy. Even paneer kathi rolls were different and great. Doi Baigan in curry is the best did not expect them to cook in sarsaw oil and was delicious. Naam and paratha were cooked to perfection. All and all must try if you visit Calgary and for die hard cricket fan 😊!
Awesome new fusion Indian resto with a Punjabi flair. Great menu with amazing cocktails and legit Indian flavours. Absolutely a must experience!
This place does not take reservations so come early to put your name on the list. They told us it would be a 30 min wait and that they would text us when our table was ready. We went across the street for a coffee while we waited. 40 mins went by and still no text. We went back to the restaurant to check and we had to wait for another 10 mins or so. When we got sat, The music was quite loud and it was hard to hear what the waitress said to us. We ordered a bunch of things to shared between my hubby and I. The keema chop was my favourite, crunchy and filling was some and flavourful. The BHUTTA (corn) came lime with chili powder on it added a spicy kick. We got the eggplant curry with garlic naan bread and the curry had tons of veggies that you forget there is not any meat in there. The cheese paneer was ok nothing special.
The food, service and drink here are great (favourites include the lamb and raita) but my favourite part of eating here is the whimsical, colourful room. I look forward to eating here lots.
Amazing food and service, a must go!! Interior is nicely designed and ambience is super cool. Great addition to 17ave, about time somebody did a cool Indian restaurant
First time here and sat at the bar counter, a chill and relaxing yet with a good atmosphere. When you first walk in, you will get hit with the wonderful smell of spice but you get to use it right the way. Ordered chips and curry, brownies, and 3 drinks my favorite is the one with Mango and chill, so good! We had a Asian female who wears glasses and has tattoos, she is upbeat, fun and professional, she came to check on us a few times while she is working hard to make all the orders at the bar. The only downside is the lamp in front of us, the light keeps on flickering which was ignoring but manageable. Next time I will want to try more of their foods on the menu.
Amazing place with phenomenal food and great decor! The ingredients were super fresh and all the flavours were spot on. Appetizers were so good and the biryani is the best I’ve had in a while. The drinks were really good too (although a bit on the pricier side).
It’s definitely an upscale and unique experience of desi food, would recommend! :)
Wow, wow, and wow. A must-visit if you love Indian food, Indian fusion. The food is amazing, and the service is fantastic. We had the Sample Menu, which I would highly recommend for a first visit. The drink menu is equally as good as the food menu. We went early and we felt unrushed, by the time we left it was almost full. 5 stars!
Excellent curry ! Great atmosphere! Staff is friendly! Great place for girls night out! We were quite early for our reservation so they graciously placed us at the bar to wait for our table. Their cocktails are exceptional! They are in the top 5 for Calgary in my books!!! The bartenders were very friendly, entertaining and talented ! We decided to have wine with our meal. You can’t go wrong with Calcutta Cricket Club.
My favorite Indian place in North America. Had my first Mango Lassi outside of Asia here. This place is legit yet modern. All the classics with a modern twist. The pictures on the wall made me want to learn about the history and the story of how the Calcutta Cricket Club came to be. A must try in Calgary.
Popular Indian Restaurant you must try in Calgary, located on 17th Ave SW. The dishes are Bond of flavours with many Vegan & Gluten-free options available! I honestly could sit there and pig out on the lamb and onion naan! 🤤😆
Delicious. Ordered the Chili Chicken (regular way, no extra chilies), butter chicken with one portion of basmati rice and garlic naan (kind of odd that naan is extra), and the Tava Chicken. Everything was delicious and I am so happy that we chose this place for my friends birthday dinner.
