    I came here a couple years ago and I wasn't that pleased by the restaurant quality and cleanliness; however recently I came in at the end of 2025 and I was amazed at how they turned around with each of their dishes. I came in with a large group of about eight people so we tried a lot of the menu. Each dish was flawless, quality, and not overly oily. I would definitely come back because the taste of the food was delicious. Service was amazing and they allowed BYOB. Cleanliness was a lot better as well and it seemed like they had more patrons than when they first opened. I'm not so sure if they changed ownership but the food was great and I will be coming back in the future! Taste: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5

    Butter chicken
    Mia H.

    I came here to grab some food to-go and had a pleasant experience! The interior of the restaurant is casual, and there's plenty of seating. The staff here are super sweet and easy to talk to. I got their butter chicken with garlic naan and it took about 10 minutes for my order to be ready. Would love to come back to try their $13 lunch special!

    Butter Chicken

    Came to Oh Calcutta for dinner with a friend - we arrived early on a weekend night and there was plenty of seating, though it did start to fill up later. I started off with a masala chai tea which was delicious and warmed me up. Then we split a butter chicken, saag paneer, and garlic naan. The entrees also each came with a bowl of white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were generous. Service was fast and courteous, and our water glasses were never left empty. A true neighborhood gem when craving Indian food!

    If you're interested in trying a different type of Indian food that's beyond just normal stuff you get, this is the place to go because They have Bengali style Indian food. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly, the owner came and had a nice friendly convo with us. I appreciated that the food wasn't heavy on the creams and oils Food we got - puchka: nice potato filling - jhal muri: little rice puffs roasted in mustard oil - cholar dal: standard yellow lentil daal - chorchuri: mixed veggie dish - begun basanti: AMAZING, the best dish we had 100% - methi mutter malai paneer: not a fan of this dish, it was like malai paneer dish but more tomato forward and methi thrown in - aloo bhartha: second favorite dish, fun flavors - garlic and onion naan: well cooked and good flavors Ambiance: more of a fast casual vibe but better service than a fast casual place Overall, great place and appreciate opportunities to eat different type of indian cuisines!

    Really 3.5 stars. Quite restaurant in lic. Family owned and run, with byob. The mullguwahty soup was alright, nothing super flavorful. A decent lentil soup. The Gobi Manchurian pretty good, but the portions in general are on the small side. The bhindi (okra) was stir fried with chopped up onions and tomatoes, it's a dry dish. It was good enough. The chole (garbanzo bean) curry had a thick tomatoes based curry, also nice. The rice has some fennel flavor. We had the chili onion Naan. I did not enjoy it, it was very thick, and you could barely taste the chili or the onion. Service is great and very friendly. Our waiter was clearly new at with tables and did not know the menu.. perhaps it was his first day.. he also didn't know how to cork a wine bottle. Just an observation, it had no impact on our meal.

    Recommend! Recommend! We tried an appetizer, soup, two entrees, naan and a dessert. Everything was delish. The service was very good. It's an informal atmosphere (very friendly) and the Staff kept our water glasses filled (and I drink a lot of water). Will go back and try some of the other items on the menu, although what we had would be worth a repeat. I also am impressed with the price point of the entrees. Very reasonable. It was cold out and I asked for a hot drink. The Masala Chai ($3) was slightly sweet and very good. For an appetizer, we shared a Tangara Gobi Manchurian ($9.50), which is a nice portion for sharing of cauliflower in a hot chili paste. Perfect level of spice for us and delicious flavor. Also shared a Mulligatawny Soup ($6.50). Again, nice size for sharing and the lemon really highlighted the flavors in the soup. For entrees, we got Saag Paneer ($15.50) and Vegetable Makhni (same price). Both had a lot of flavor. The Garlic Naan ($3.50) was good - could have used a bit more garlic. Just to try it, we got a side of Beguni (4 slices of fried eggplant - $8.50). That had a nice flavor also. When the server put the rice on our table she told us we could get more if we asked for it. Since everything was so good, we decided to share a dessert. Kulfi (ice cream - choice of pistachio or mango - we got mango - $4) was light and flavorful. We took much of the entrees and Beguni home as leftovers. There was lots of food.

    Good new Indian place in lic. Great service with takeout. The food was plentiful in terms of size. Nice mixture of things in the menu. Food flavor was good on the chicken vindaloo. Nan was good as well: white rice cokes with every order. Raita as good as was

    goat biryani

    My friends and I enjoyed a Saturday dinner at this restaurant. I've walked by it multiple times and even saw it mentioned on a NYT article! Many entrees are within the $15-20 range, with the exception of the seafood dishes, which are affordable. We ordered 4 entrees and garlic naan bread. We checked with the server if they felt that was enough food; we were told "each entree is enough for one person", which is true. If one were to do takeout of an entree and rice, that would have been enough for a meal, so I'd say the prices were fair. We ordered the - Paneer Tikka Masala - Butter Chicken - Now the Paneer Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken were the exact same but different protein. This was my favorite, but sharing amongst 4 it wasn't as much protein as I'd like especially for a sharing style restaurant. But it would have been plenty if one was ordering to enjoy by their self - Goat Mughlai Biryani - Great with the yogurt sauce. The goat meat was good but may opt for an easier protein with less bones next time. - Chorchori- wanted a veggie dish. Everyone's lesser favorite on the table - Butter Naan - It felt more of a a means to soak up the sauce of the tikka masala dishes (low-key if you're getting takeout here I'd just pick up garlic naan from TJs) - Gulab Jamun - My friend encouraged us to order. It was a great sweet treat to end to the meal! Service was solid as they came around and refilled waters when cups were empty. The interior has a main dining room with smaller-sized tables. Very casual dining space; I think the lighting could be improved that would elevate the vibes a bit more, but still solid if you're looking to have good food in the area with no need for a reservation.

    nice indian place specializing in food from Calcutta. its a bit on the fancier side with smaller portions but prices are reasonable especially for everything beside mains. we got the jhal muri, rogan josh, begun basanti, garlic naan, alu paratha, and sandesh. nothing stood out for me but everything was solid. service was great and place is very clean.

    Came here for an early dinner and the waitress kindly went through recommendations on her menu. Chicken korma - a decent version with lots of herbs and very creamy, but it didn't have the nutrients that I like in korma (Sahib still best for this) Baigan bharta: an eggplant dish that's tomato in base. Friend is a big fan of this; I thought it was a good contrast but not my favorite. Entrees come with rice and we got the paneer Naan as well which is like a quesadilla. It was good but would opt for a different Naan next time. There's a lot more regional dishes I haven't seen before that I think I'll try next time that I'm here.

    Jalapeno Cheese Naan
    Faith C.

    First off, the service is amazing. We had the friendliest and most smiley man come and take our orders. He also gave some recommendations upon our request, and our cups were never empty of water. We had the Chili Chicken, Garlic and Jalapeno Cheese Naan, Shrimp Tikka Masala, and Murghir Jhol. Everything was yummy, but my husband and I agreed the best items were the Jalapeno Cheese Naan and Shrimp Tikka Masala. They're able to adjust spice level in case you're someone who is unable to handle spice. The place was quiet, unassuming, and brightly lit. We hope to see more people try this place soon!

We happened to be dining there during a World Cup game so there was a TV on in the back (not sure if that's their usual setup). I ordered the chicken tandoori (bone-in), my SO got the chicken tikka masala, and we shared a garlic naan. I got a masala chai to drink and my SO just stuck to water. We did not have to wait too long for the food. My chicken tandoori came out on a sizzling plate with a side of rice. The chicken was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. I ate the slices of onion on the sizzling plate with the chicken and rice. The garlic naan was nice and hot, crisp on the outside, studded with plenty of garlic, and soft and chewy on the inside. It was good for sopping up the chicken tikka masala sauce. My SO felt that my bone-in chicken tasted better than the chicken that came with the tikka masala, so he would consider ordering one of the other bone-in options next time (butter chicken (bone-in) or chef's special chicken (bone-in) biryani). Service was attentive. The servers refilled our water several times and checked on how we liked our dishes. We didn't have dessert this time, but we might next time we come because there will definitely be a next time.

I think the restaurant does more take out business then eat in. I see a lot of people picking up their food same as me. But maybe I am not visiting during busy hours. The food is consistent. From the first time I had Yaar - I was never disappointed. This is one of mine and my family's favorite place to get Indian food from.

    Best Momos around!…read more If the title doesn't tell you everything, this review will. I found out about this place months ago and it was finally time to give it a try. My spouse and I are always down to find good momos, and this being close by and Tibetan cuisine, it was definitely a must. Ambience: It seats a decent crowd. It has nice Tibetan artwork and you feel the warmth from the owners. It's cozy and it felt great. Service: Top notch. I don't say this lightly. The server sat us down and was just so joyful. Her smile and demeanor made you feel welcomed. Brought us water and asked the usual and offered to explain any dishes. Now we are onto the good -- might I say great -- part. THE FOOD. We didn't order momos on our first visit. Food: My wife got the Himalayan Rice set (chicken) and I got the Rildok. We also got the Shabhaley -- from the description I thought it was literal meat. The Shabhaley, to put it, looks like an empanada. It was far from it in the best possible way. The pastry was crisp but soft and the beef filling was divine! Seasoned with so much flavor and it was paired with a beautiful sauce. The Rildok was exquisite. In my opinion -- I even told one of the servers, whom I now know is one of the owners, that the flavor profile reminded me of a cheeseburger, and it's my favorite new dish. The Himalayan Rice set was awesome. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The tingmo (like a bread) was soft and delicious, paired well with the chicken. The dal reminded me of my own homeland's dal. We've now been back here multiple times. My goal is to try the entire menu. The vegetable khoty momo was surprisingly my favorite, and I'm someone who loves meat. I've now had all the flavors and preparations of the momos, and you can't go wrong! This place is a gem. Their quality of food is top notch, and their actual aunties are in the back making this with so much love. I want everyone to try it. The owner and his staff are amazing and welcoming. They remembered me from my second visit, and that speaks volumes. They're all down to earth and it shows. The passion they have for their food and their kindness shines through. Parking: Can be rough depending on time of day.
