I've ordered take-out from Calcutta Cafe a number of times, and I am consistently amazed, yes - amazed, by how delicious, fresh, and tasty everything is. We love the chana saag and chicken tikka masala, but everything we've tried has been fabulous. Indus Valley is also great Indian in the neighborhood - but it is extremely over-priced. Calcutta Cafe is just as good, and is much, much less expensive. I highly recommend Calcutta Cafe.

This Indian place is a **great** find. Very good deal. The service is very attentive, the food is fresh, authentic, and savory, and they give you a ton of food with each order--- free dal, cabbage, chutneys, and rice for most orders. (Some dishes don't require rice). There are so many Indian places in this town that are not fresh, and charge for every last grain of rice (grrr). I would recommend the chicken tikka masala, chana sag, and other veggie dishes. Their raita is also very good. I have never had a problem with delivery. Usually, it arrives before they estimate. I ALWAYS have leftovers. soo good.

  • Pros: Lots of food for not that much money and very tasty.
  • Cons: Ambiance is formal, typical for Indian places, not as cheery some other more Americanized places.

bad.

It doesn't matter if the food is good, the service great; whatever. The food delivery order never came. And when I called back, they said they never got an order. You can mess up on delivery orders anywhere else, but in this city, there's almost no greater sin.

  • Cons: poor delivery service

i went to this place for dinner. they have great value meals. chicken tandoori tasted ok. Coconut soup was a dream come true. If you select a meal, a variety of food is offered. service a little slow. Had doubts on the cleanliness.
