Calcutta Club in Nottingham

We were served by several different people and all were friendly and helpful. We tried the specials as they were new dishes to us and we were glad we did. The food was excellent. It was extremely busy and clientele was mainly made up of large groups. However, the atmosphere was calm and relaxed.

This was the third time I’ve visited in the last 6 months and as usual Calcutta Club did not disappoint! The food here is incredible; it’s tasty, generous and authentic. It is always busy inside and I know why! I have had the Saunf Gosht twice now and I still can’t stop thinking about it, it’s a really rich lamb dish finished with fennel. All of the flavours are perfectly balanced in every dish I have tried here and there are loads of gluten free options. I really recommend trying the specials when you visit they’re always outstanding. Back in October they had charcoal chicken as a special to start and it was stupidly good, I hope they put it on the menu full time. The staff are amazing; so friendly and always helpful when it comes to choosing and recommending dishes. I went for my birthday meal and they spoiled me. You may find this pricey compared to your local curry house however, it is miles better and absolutely worth every penny (go before 6:30 and get 20% too!). My family and I will surely return many times!

An excellent meal, as always. Great service too

Fantastic food and service. Staff friendly and helpful. The tandoori lamb platter was outstanding. Our go to restaurant when visiting Nottingham. Definitely looking to return soon.

Quite simply magical dining experience. Style, class,service with a smile and food of the highest level. So many thanks to all at this amazing establishment for creating an amazing evening.😊

Went to Calcutta club for a family birthday meal. Very friendly. Great food. Attentive staff

This was our first visit to this restaurant, & we have enjoyed a lovely evening. All the staff are friendly & attentive & the food was superb. We will definitely visit again & highly recommend this restaurant to others. Thank you.

We had a fantastic time here. The food was superb, the best Indian we have had in a very long time. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful in recommending the dishes. We shall certainly return when we visit Nottingham again.

I thought long and hard about leaving a review as I don’t normally leave a negative one. Every month my friend and I go out for a curry in Nottingham and had not been here for a while. Booked a month ahead and were given the worst table in the house, next to the toilets and under an a/c fan with a horrible draft. No other table was available for 30 to 45 minutes so we left and had a fantastic meal elsewhere.

Amazing food and Even better service. We was a party of 30 and the whole night ran so smoothly and everyone commented on the food & friendly staff. Would defo recommend. Katie

First time dining here but certainly won’t be the last - very tasty food that the whole family enjoyed

Quite simply superb food, decent curries can be hard to come by these days but Calcutta club is absolutely excellent. Great vegan options and really attentive knowledgeable staff. I had the aloo tikki and garlic chilli veg with a chapati and it was delicious. One of the best curries I’ve eaten at a restaurant. Will definitely return and will recommend!

Great place to eat. Service and atmosphere fantastic !!!

The primary goal of any restaurant that claims to be a higher end eatery in the middle of a city centre should be the quality of its food, but sadly, that's where the calcutta club fails. First of all, the portions are tiny, and I mean, tiny. They come in either very large size dishes with a minute amount of food or a tiny bowl that's filled to the brim that wouldn't even fill a growing child. We were a hungry group of 4 and ordered the following: Starters Chicken platter Vegetarian platter Amrtodari fish Mains Chicken Rogan Josh Punjabj Karahi chicken Lamb biryani Paneer karahi Sides Garlic naan Peshawar naan Tandoori roti Plain naan Pilau rice Desserts Gulab jamun with pistachio kulfi One Indian tea The starters were piping hot, juicy and flavoursome with spice and garnished well. So expectations were high. The mains were spiced well but not enough to share, let alone fill a stomach. The meat and chicken has all been pre-boiled and then thrown into masala to disguise it's damp, limp-wristed flavour. The rice was not long-grain basmati, which for ANY Indian restaurant owner or frequentir will tell you, should be a punishable offence. Then there's the prices. The average main here costs around 15 pounds and sundries like naan and rice cost £4 to £5 EACH! The Desserts cane and I couldn't bring myself to even try it. I sipped on the authentic tea which... wasn't. The service was good. The manager greeted us on entry, took our coats and we were promptly shown to a table.The service team themselves were polite, professional and knowledgeable and seemed to know the menu. £155 for 4. That's about £39 each for what was spectacularly average fayre disguised in authentic settings. If this is what passes for a decent curry house.here in the East Midlands, well let me tell you Nottingham, you have MUCH to learn and see.

Fantastic food. The Specials Lamb to start, King prawn purée followed by King Prawn Karahi and chicken tikka Rogan Josh amongst other things were the highlight. The service is second to none and can safely say this is the Best Indian I have been to. Our serves as always were superb!

Customer service is awesome. Also they very accommodating for the last minute arrangements. Food is superb. They made our special day more special.

Great meal and service in a super city centre location. Took two former colleagues for the first and they were very impressed.

A fabulous treat for my partner’s birthday! The food was awesome as always 🥰

Excellent restaurant Food always brilliant Staff friendly Atmosphere relaxed Always delighted when visit

A stunning array of food, served by an incredible team. Thanks to all at the Calcutta Club.

Booked a table for my wife and I, for our anniversary On arrival our table had been tastefully decorated with rose petals and tiny hearts Staff were perfectly attentive, food was fabulous

Again 100% food and service. I have tried other curry house bit nothing compared to the culcutta and 1 word. AMAZEBALLS

I've visited a few times before, and having tried many award winning indian restaurants around the UK, I struggle to find one better. We came twice in 3 days this trip, and my better half said it the best she ever had. Lamb starter sharer was out this world for lamb quality and the flavours and highly recommend. I then had the Lamb Nigari my go-to here, and she had the Chicken Korai, which we agreed was the best ever, and the quality of the meat here is unmatched. The service is impeccable, and the owner even comes around and gets stuck in which you don't always see. We drove from Devon where we live, and thankfully, I have two more visits booked in 2024, so see you soon.

Excellent food, friendly staff. Will come here again !

Outstanding food every single time , perfectly presented and every mouthful mouthwatering delicious! I’m salivating just thinking about my meal last night. I could eat here everyday!!

The food was top notch as ever and Sonia gave fantastic service, being extra attentive to my wifes diatery needs.

We had a wonderful evening at Calcutta Club on Saturday . Great food , great service and a lively atmosphere . We will definitely be back

Fantastic food, friendly helpful staff…. A perfect evening, thank you!

Food is delicious with a great service

Excellent food and excellent service.

Thank you to all staff for the meal and service on Tuesday 12th March in the evening. Meals were well presented and delicious, and staff friendly and attentive throughout. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful food with great and attentive service.

Fantastic meal celebrating my husband's birthday, staff welcoming and attentive, food was fantastic and had a lovely chat with the owner, the atmosphere and ambiance was brilliant, fresh and clean, nothing was too much trouble 😁

Lovely meal as always and got to take the kids for their first proper Indian meal. Couldn’t fault the food and service at all. Thank you 🙏🏻

Had a fantastic night. The mail is fantastic, highly recommended. Thank you very much and thank you for the birthday song

We feel that our first visit to this wonderful establishment won't be our last. Greeting at the door, both on entry and after a lovely meal, was most welcoming. Staff were very polite and made our meal the most enjoyable for a very long time. Will be a pleasure to return. Thank you all....see you soon! Bob & Rosemary

Delicious food and great service. I have been there a few times now and I will definitely come back.

On Wednesday evening 3 of us enjoyed an excellent meal before going to the theatre, taking advantage of the discounted rate for early customers. We shared 3 starters including a "special" of tempura binding which was exceptional with a good sauce. We also had salmon tikka and a chicken dish. All the mains were lovely too, each with distinct flavours. Chicken Saag, King Prawn T Masala and butter chicken. All accompanied by rice and garlic Naan. Another great meal served by welcoming friendly staff.

This restaurant surpassed all our expectations The food is absolutely fantastic Very fresh and great specials We will certainly return

Been going for around 10 years, never disappoints, fabulous food and fabulous team.

Everything was exceptional. Would recommend it to anyone. We will certainly be going back when we visit Nottingham again.

Great food love the King Prawns . The staff are efficient but also friendly . One of our favourite restaurants

I've eaten here about 5 times now, absolutely love it! Lovely food, atmosphere and beer. My favourite curry house.

Brilliant experience. Suberb service, really friendly staff and fantastic food.

Friendly relaxed atmosphere, always great food and friendly good service.

This review is for Indians looking for proper Indian food. Food is close to authentic, some dishes could be mild. Can definitely go if you miss Indian food.

Wonderful food. The most friendly efficient service and great value.

Very disappointing visit this time, very disorganised. Had a very big table in more interesting in them!! It was my husband’s birthday and not a mention of it nothing. Chicken was very dry and poor quality in the curry, garlic nan very greasy. Been before and never had such poor service and quality of food!

The food was fantastic and the service was great. The staff manage to strike the right balance between fun and professional. Very accommodating and looked after our large party really well.

Another great night at Calcutta Club, even with the size of our party (16) service and food was amazing

Excellent service and food. Staff attentive at door at the table with coats. It's not our first time and it won't be our last. Thank you from the fuller family x

The restaurant laid on a great Valentines evening - the menu was excellent as was the service and attention to detail. It was also nice to have live music! All the staff were very attentive and helpful, particularly in advising on dishes for the pre-order and the food certainly lived up to expectations - really delicious! It was a lovely evening and we’ll be back for another meal very soon …. Thank you!

Absolutely stunning. Had dinner here with wonderful friends and I can't recommend this place highly enough. The service was impeccable and the food was the best Indian restaurant we have been to. Amazing and thank you and we will come back to Nottingham specifically to come back and visit!

One of the best I have been to, and I am a real fan of Indian food. CC is amongst a small group of favourites. Really, really good.

Wow! What an amazing time we had here, the food is just on point and worth every penny, the atmosphere was perfect and the lovely servers we had were amazing and down to earth, could not recommend highly enough and will definitely be returning again. Thank you for a memorable evening.

Love the food, service and friendly atmosphere. Try something different every visit and all dishes are fantastic. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Wish we lived nearer, thanks everyone.

Highly recommend this for dinner. We booked early on a Friday night so got 20% off all the food. Everything we are was delicious, particularly the xacuti chicken starter. Staff were friendly and helpful, gave great recommendations off the menu when we couldn't choose!

What a restaurant, the food is delicious and inventive, the decor is extremeley smart and the staff are very welcoming and attentive. Could not reccomend enough!

The food and service were excellent as ever. There were a few larger parties in celebrating birthdays and the atmosphere was really good. Definitely the best curry in the city centre

Simply stunning all round ...... you could not possibly get any more authentic North Indian cuisine than this ..... with pure style!

Great food and good service. Nice atmosphere too.

Appealing atmosphere. Professional service . Clean and welcoming Tables . Staff are top of their game . Good area and easily found. Food superb, reasonable price for the quality of chef standards. An all round flawless occasion which I would repeat over and over again. Thank You x

Best Indian food in Nottingham! So tasty.

Excellent food, best Nam bread.

One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve dined in. Ticks all the boxes as second to none in all areas.

Delicious food . Impeccable service! Nothing at all to fault ! ❤️

Resturant Excellent food. Good service. Wish we had known they no longer did parking vouchers as would not have parked at Mount Street which cost a fortune

What a wonderful find the Calcutta Club restaurant was to celebrate a family 60th birthday. From the moment we showed up to the moment we left the customer service was second to none. We were made to feel so welcome by host and the team. I had left a little note on the online booking to say it was a special birthday and so I was really touched when we were seated by Sonia who had decorated the table (I didn’t ask for this, which made it all the more special!) it was fab! Sonia looked after us all evening so much so that we didn’t have to ask anything. The food was sublime. Beautifully presented and I want to say pleasantly different to any other south East Asian restaurant we’ve been to; Light, flavoursome dishes without the oily heaviness or overly flavoured dishes. An absolute MUST is the dessert - Gulab with Pistachio and Rosewater ice cream. Simply beautiful. The flavours were divine and all home made! Perfect restaurant for date night or a family evening with so much choice for vegetarians too (which was perfect for the birthday girl). Thank you to the wonderful chef and his team. Dana

3nd time dining at The Calcutta Club and even better than 1st 2 times time. We were a large party but got the same level of service and care as if we were just a couple. The staff went to great lengths to ensure we had a great time, even getting the chef to adjust a dish so a first time curry eater could be introduced to Indian food in the best way possible. Great food, great staff, a must for curry eaters !

10 of us came for a meal on the 30th. From the minute we walked in the staff was very welcoming and attentive throughout the night. Our waitress was so lovely and smiling all the time, we had a laugh with her too, didn’t catch her name but she made our night very rememberable. The food was amazing as ever. Definitely will be going back again. Top marks to the chef & all the staff. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

2nd time have visited, these guys have nailed it, beautifully flavoured food married with superb friendly service, already booked again

Amazing food and service. Good vegetarian selection too. A new favourite for us and you get a discount before 6.30pm (can't remember if this applies every day, so it's best to check) Definitely recommend.

I booked my birthday meal here in December absolutely fantastic food and service. We will all be back again.

Absolutely outstanding food and service

Great food and service. The boatman’s curry was out of this world and the Kingfisher was nice and crisp off the draft.

Fantastic food, probably one of the best curries I've ever had. The atmosphere was warm, friendly and busy. Service great too. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food and exceptional staff. Many thanks!🤩

I booked a little late, so I almost didn't get in here, but I was messaged back quickly when there was a cancellation, and I'm happy I got to go. The food was terrific. They even did a dish for me that wasn't on the menu. Service was brilliant, and I cannot praise this place enough.

Booked this restaurant as I have heard it's a good place to eat. Well... I'm not sure where to start! I specifically asked for a quiet part of the restaurant as I am hard of hearing. When we arrived we were a little early. No issues, the meet and greet a perfect gentleman showed us to our table. For two, in the quiet part of the restaurant. Considering it is Christmas and the restaurant was full and buzzing, it was a perfect place for us as it was a meal for my wife's birthday. We have had many curries in our time. This absolutely 💯 is our #1, we were in Amsterdam last year and an Indian restaurant there. We rated #1 now #2. If you like traditional service, good tasting curry you HAVE TO EAT HERE. We had king prawn Puri and Lamb chops to start, and it was delicious the prawns were divine. 2 mains naan and of course chips 🤦🏽‍♂️bottle of wine £86 worth EVERY penny. Another good thing here they DO NOT add a service charge, which in this day an age is a blessing, I chose to tip 15£ as it was an impeccable experience.

First time dining here, will certainly NOT be the last. Food was excellent and service was great.

First class service, loved the fact the water is topped up without asking, everyone is really friendly, best curry we’ve had in Nottingham, best restaurant in Nottingham

As usual amazing. Great meal for our family of 12. Thank you. We only have lovely things to say x

This place is fantastic. The wonderful food and service more than made up for the insufferable “friends” that accompanied me.

Stumbled on The Calcutta club , out of the three Restaurant’s all in a row. It was a great move as it was friendly , busy fabulous service . The food was amazing . The wine not over expensive and a big thank you to the waitress Puja. Friendly professional and smiled , a massive plus . Worth a visit folks!

Superb restaurant and superb food..

Always recommend Calcutta club. Every time I have visited the food, service and atmosphere have been faultless. On a recent occasion I organised a work Christmas meal with my team and they provided fantastic service and food as usual. The waiter made conscious effort to put us on a round table alongside providing great recommendations. Will definitely come again soon!

Absolutly brilliant service, great quality food/drink and good value for money. Thank you Calcutta Club 😍

Came here with a table of 6 for work night out. Great food absolutely amazing sharing plates to start and first class service by every member of the team. Thanks for making this a perfect night see you again soon

Excellent food, service and venue

Really friendly and relaxing perfect for group dining stress free

Great food and friendly fast service.

We were fortunate to get a short notice reservation here due to a cancellation and I am so glad we were able to eat here whilst in Nottingham. Located opposite the Park Plaza hotel the restaurant and it's interior are beautifully decorated and when you step inside you get that premier feel and know that you're in a high class establishment. The restaurant was packed to the rafters with customers and Christmas parties and was hive of activity as staff flitted from table to table swiftly and efficiently taking orders and delivering food. Our waitress was superb and kindly drew our attention to an earlybird offer that had escaped our notice. The menu is quite extensive with plenty to choose from, when the starters arrived the aroma of the food was mouth watering and the taste was superb. This was only surpassed by the arrival of the mains we ordered, with each dish being full of flavour and chilli heat. Overall from start to finish our visit was incredible, none of us had any complaints or issues with the food, drink, service or atmosphere. If you're in the area and you like high quality indian food, you should visit the Calcutta Club.

Awesome food, friendly and attentive staff. Great atmosphere

Excellent food quality, friendly and attentive staff, great dining ambience

Очень вкусно, спасибо. Порции огромные, еле доел :))

Very nice food but very busy. Had to ask a few times for drinks so only had 2 drinks all night. They forgot a part of the meal so had to wait for that to be made. Very, very noisy, could hardly hear yourself speak. Don't think we would go again on a weekend.

Great experience at Calcutta club overall. My friend took me there once and I took my friends there again. Food was great and special mention to Sonia, who was amazing, her food recommendations were on point. All the other staff there were really friendly and great hospitality. The Garlic naan, Karahi paneer and Salmon Tikka were amazing. Would surely got there again to try more of their food.

Very lovely staff and great food 🥰

Starter wasn’t the best. Couldn’t eat it but the service was top class and made up for it…… a bit

The best Indian restaurant in Nottingham ! Well done to everyone who works at the Calcutta club a great night was had by us all
