We came here for our anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Staff were warm and welcoming and they all noted it was our anniversary (good attention to our reservation). We were seated in a more private area which was lovely. The ambience was welcoming, warm and created a fine dining atmosphere. We had the tasting menu (non veg) and we were blown away by the dishes especially the salad and matar kulcha in the starters. The mains - the goat and butter chicken were delightful that we had to get more naan to lap up the delicious flavours. The gulab jamun at the end was also stunning - golden crisp exterior, warm soft interior and paired with a lovely tangy cream to balance all the flavours and end the night. We were so so pleased and amazed! Thank you for making our anniversary stunning.!

We had a truly lovely experience at Kolkata Cricket Club at Crown Melbourne. From the moment we arrived we were warmly greeted by our hosts Jordan and Marmit who set the tone for an exceptional evening. The service throughout was absolutely outstanding. Jordan was excellent at recommending a wine that perfectly complemented our food selection and was extremely knowledgeable about the menu helping guide us on what to order with confidence. Marmit was equally impressive attentive professional and genuinely welcoming.This was a business lunch with a very important client and he was extremely impressed by both the service and the food. The Bengali butter chicken was a standout classic and so was the prawns however every single dish we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. Dessert we ordered one of each and they were yummy!!Jordan and Marmit elevated the entire experience and their brilliant service made the lunch memorable. We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend Kolkata Cricket Club for both business and special occasions.โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‹

Kolkata Cricket Club at Crown Melbourne is a restaurant that arrives with expectation. The setting is polished and atmospheric, the welcome warm, and the service attentive throughout the evening. The bar, in particular, deserves praise, boasting an impressive and well-curated collection of whiskies and wines that suggests a serious dining experience. The drinks, however, set an early tone of inconsistency. The Negroni and Old Fashioned were competently executed but lacked distinction (3/5). The Aam Panna mocktail, on the other hand, was entirely devoid of character โ€” little more than flavoured soda without the expected tang or depth (0/5). Entrรฉes showed flashes of promise. The Seekh Kebab was well-seasoned and satisfying (3.5/5), while the Scallops were cooked with confidence and restraint (3.5/5). The Spatchcock Chicken Tandoori looked the part, with a pleasing char on the exterior, but fell apart on tasting โ€” excessively salty within, making it difficult to enjoy (1.5/5). The mains continued this uneven trajectory. Kosha Mangsho, a dish that demands patience and depth, was one of the stronger offerings: rich, aromatic, and well balanced (4/5). In contrast, the restaurantโ€™s signature Chingri Malai Curry disappointed. While the prawns were cooked perfectly, the curry itself was surprisingly bland, lacking the coconut richness and gentle sweetness the dish is known for (3/5). Portion sizes across the mains were notably small for a restaurant of this calibre and price point, to the extent that an additional main had to be ordered mid-meal. That decision proved unfortunate. The Butter Chicken was the weakest dish of the night โ€” thin, watery, and almost entirely flavourless, bearing little resemblance to the dish it claims to be (0/5). It appeared to share the same base as the Malai Curry, further highlighting a lack of distinction in the kitchenโ€™s approach. Dessert, a Crรจme Caramel, was pleasant but unremarkable (3/5). In summary, Kolkata Cricket Club excels in ambience, hospitality, and beverage selection, but the kitchen struggles with consistency, portion size, and flavour depth. There is clear potential here, but at present, the execution does not justify the reputation or the pricing. A restaurant with such a strong concept deserves a far more confident and cohesive culinary performance. We paid around 470 in 3 People with dissapointment.

Enjoyed the standard set menu. My favourite was the Matcha Kulchar ohh and the Goat ๐Ÿคค. Everything was tasty and we loved 90% of it. Didnโ€™t love the Puchka and the desert, they were ok though. We were absolutely stuffed afterwards and the service was excellent. Great atmosphere and weโ€™re looking forward to coming back. Thank you ๐Ÿ™

Good take on Bangla and North Indian Cuisine. Flavours were close to authentic. Very nice ambience, great seating, super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Flavours overall could have been taken up a notch. The lamb cutlets and the seekh kebabs were nicely charred and juicy. Butter chicken was flavoursome, Prawn malaai curry was super tasty and the prawn heads were a Knock out. The kosha mangsho texture was superb and definitely cooked to "kosha" but lacked the real garam masala and caremelised true flavour profile. Deserts were quite ordinary and the mocktails were quite disappointing. Overall a decent experience with a semi fine dining take on Indian cuisine.
