Calcutta Club in Oshiwara, Andheri West is one of my most favourite restaurants in Mumbai. It serves decent Bangali food, not as good as what you get in Oh! Calcutta, however the outlet serves what according to me is the best Calcutta Biriyani you get in Mumbai.Replete with a full hardboiled egg and a large half potato - ingredients which might make a Hyderabadi and Lucknaowi cringe makes a Calcuttan salivate. The version that you get in Calcutta club although slightly heavy on the oil is exactly what I like and makes me feel almost at home. I also love the decor at Calcutta club and the pictures of Old Calcutta are really nice and gives the place a nice feel. The only issue is how cramped the place is and I hope that they soon open another larger branch closer to Powai.
Last time we were at Calcutta Club, we ordered the Biriyani obvously and preceded that with some Luchi , Cholar Daal and Aloor Dom. The Luchi and Cholar daal is just an unbeatable combination and was great, however the Aloor Dom was really bad and all of you would be strongly advised to steer clear of the preparation when and if you decide to frequent the place.
A meal for two at Calcutta Club will cost you approximately Rs 300/-
How to get there: Calcutta Club is in Oshiwara Andheri West. It is a bit difficult to spot alhough you will not really get lost. If you are driving from Bandra via linking road. You will have Fame Adlabs to your left. You have to drive straight on past Cinemax mall and crossing two further signals. Calcutta Club will be towards your right. You will know that you have missed it if you come to a T junction. In case you do take a U turn and keep an eye on your left.
