Calcutta Cricket Club

Serving up authentic Indian dishes from the heart of 17th Avenue S.W. since 2017, Calcutta Cricket Club has won the hearts of many Calgarians. Famous for their kati rolls, saucy curries and exquisite cocktails, this modern restaurant perfectly blends familiar and daring ingredients to challenge you with something new. Calcutta was named one of Canada's Top 100 restaurants, and after trying their unique take on butter chicken masala, you'll see why.

Shutting down business for several months was challenging from all perspectives: operational, financial, resources as well as health and safety. However, the biggest challenge for the team here at Calcutta Cricket Club was the emotional roller coaster they've been on since the start of the city's shutdown, never sure what's going to happen in the next few days, weeks or months. Now, the restaurant has regrouped and reopened under completely different circumstances, a new challenge in itself, but the team at Calcutta are happy to welcome you back.

Now open for dine-in, online orders, takeout and delivery, Calcutta Cricket Club is ready to serve you once again Calgary. Head on down to 17th Avenue and enjoy their dining room, the modern vibe and their delicious food for your next meal out.
