Kolkata Cricket Club

We had an incredible dining experience at Kolkata Cricket Club, opting for the 5-course menu—and what a treat it was! At $95 per person, the menu offers amazing value. The portions were generous, and we left feeling absolutely satisfied. From start to finish, the service was flawless. Both managers were present on the floor, incredibly friendly, and went out of their way to explain each course and accommodate a few custom requests. The food runner also stood out—professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to introduce each dish as it was served. Every course was beautifully presented and packed with flavour. The dishes showcased a perfect balance of creativity and authenticity, and you could tell a lot of care went into each plate. The atmosphere was warm, stylish, and inviting—ideal for a night out with friends or family. Overall, we loved our experience and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Still thinking about our feast at Kolkata Cricket Club last Friday… we went all in and honestly, worth every bite 😍 From the moment the prawns hit the table, we knew we were in for something special. The scallops? Perfectly cooked and packed with flavour. The goat was fall-apart tender, rich and comforting, and the smoked mushrooms might have been the unexpected star of the night. Every dish was a hit, layered with spices, generous portions, and so full of soul.

Excellent dinner! Ambience cracking good on a Friday night. Service very personable from genuinely friendly staff. Butter chicken on par with the best we have tried, Seekh kebab and the Prawn curry was insanely delicious, and for a venue like that doing Indian seafood cuisine so well, it’s pretty unique in Melbourne’s culinary landscape. Will definitely be back!

Delighted with the butter chicken at this spot! Rich, creamy sauce and tender chicken. Flavors were well-balanced and authentic. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service added to the experience. Highly recommend for Indian food lovers! The portion size on the other hand is quite small for the 38$ price tag. In the duck roti my slice had limited meat pieces which i was quite displeased to. Lamb curry was the favourite dish with many pieces of meat at a desirable flavour.

From the moment we stepped inside, we instantly felt we were in for a treat. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between refined luxury and welcoming warmth - with crisp white linen and elegant decor, and charming touches of colonial time. The staff were very attentive, friendly and professional, offering knowledgeable and tailored suggestions to help us create a memorable feast. We shared a variety of dishes, all superb! Highlights included the flavoursome Puchka, the tender goat curry, delectable wood-fired king prawns, a gorgeously smooth Saag Paneer, and lovely Gulab Jamun to round out dessert. The ingredients were clearly fresh and high-quality, and beautifully presented. Overall, a classy, vibrant, and delicious experience!

Top choice no doubt, Food was excellent, decent quantity in premium set menu, fulfilling experience. However as a bong and being from Kolkata, it’s better to not have any preconceived ideas about Kolkata or Cricket…. It’s a very good restaurant for premium fine dining for Indian fusion flavours. Personally I could not make myself like the misti doi experiment in the desert… Highlights are definitely the butter chicken, quail and prawns malaikari. One feedback is in song selection, I wouldn’t have anticipated Hollywood hip hops in that theme of a restaurant, I felt like it’s not able to tell the story properly, all mixed up, the uniform of different people were different… If you are attending on a special occasion, don’t expect anything special other than the greetings.

21/06/2025 – We ate here on a chilly evening in June (Winter Solstice) and the restaurant was certainly getting into the theme of winter, with the AC cranking and the place colder than Antarctica. I had on 5 layers of clothing, including a large scarf and heavy jacket and I could not remove any of them as it was so cold in there. We ordered a nice bottle of Wirra Wirra Chardonnay to warm us up which did help but really, the restaurant should turn on the heaters. We ordered the STANDARD SET menu for $95pp. Food all very lovely with some of the CHAAT SNACKS being rather spicy, which was great. Our biggest complaint, besides the frigid temperature was the service. The issue with the service was not that it was too slow, but that it was extremely fast. We sat down at 6:40pm, ordered the food by 6:45pm, then it started to arrive by 6:50pm, with the first three dishes coming out and we were yet to even finish these, when more arrived. Luckily the tables are large (so we could fit all the food) and well spaced apart and the atmosphere is good for talking. We were yet to even finish the five CHAAT SNACKS (which included a lot of food, with bread, kebab, etc) when all of a sudden the mains arrived. This was beyond ridiculous. The timing gave us no time to process the food and we felt like they were trying to push us out prematurely even though it wasn’t an overly busy night. We switched the goat for the prawns and they were very nice, though only getting one prawn each was a little disappointing. The butter chicken was yummy but for a high-end restaurant, it would have been nice to have something more adventurous that boring butter chicken. Luckily, they gave us a reprieve from eating with a longer break between the main and dessert. Dessert was a disappointment, however. Like all Asian cuisines, desserts are always below average and not worth eating. We had the Mishti Doi (yoghurt with pineapple) and it was odd and not a joy to eat. All up, the food (besides the dessert) was very nice, though the extremely fast service made us feel as though we were being forced out which put a downer on the night. The heating MUST be turned on and if they can’t afford it, then they should at least provide blankets or warn people before they come to bring one themselves.

Visited the Kolkata Cricket Club restaurant recently and had a pleasant experience overall. The ambience is quite nice — warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed meal. The staff, especially Maneet, was amazing — friendly and attentive, which added to the positive vibe. The menu is a bit limited, which might not suit everyone, especially if you're looking for variety. That said, the saag paneer was absolutely delicious and a definite highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the dal missed the mark — it lacked flavor and depth. They could definitely improve by adding more vegetarian and non-vegetarian starters to round out the options. Desserts were just okay — nothing memorable, but a decent end to the meal. Would recommend it for a laid-back evening out, especially if you're a fan of good service and cozy surroundings. Just don't go expecting a wide menu or gourmet-level dal.
