Not genuine Bengali food 2012-05-21
Loads of hype around this restaurant. Been to this place 3 times now. Every time I go there, I tell myself, last time I didn't order the right preparation or maybe the chef was having a bad day, this time they are gonna give my mom's food a fight. Good music and good service. But the food is far from Bengali food. The dishes served here are just named after Bengali dishes and the ingredients are Bengali, but they don't taste Bengali. Not even close IMO. Pretty much tasteless food. The aroma from the food was absolutely zero, nothing...none. The food has been tuned to suit the taste of people from... read more

Ok Food, but highly priced! 2012-03-09
Been there with friends. The food quality was average but the prices were too high.
For 6 people the bill came around 5800/-. Average price of each item is 400. :( -

Candid feedback 2011-10-05
Having experienced the food and ambience of Oh Calcutta (Delhi) many times, me and my wife decided to visit the Bangalore version yesterday.
First things first, even before I got to the food, the overall ambience was a complete shocker. The manner in which the buffet was arranged looked very unlike of this restaurant chain. Food, especially Bengali food, has a lot to do with presentation and the pattern in which the spread was laid out was a complete dampener.
I found some extremely common (homemade) dishes on the buffet menu. Since we did not want to try ala-carte, I spoke... read more -

Best Bengali Cuisine 2011-09-23
I had been to this place alongwith my Swedish guest...trying to experience the authentic Bengali cuisine in town...we are pleasantly surprised to savor each and every item that was ordered...
Vegetarian Menu has an equally good spread and is definitely a must for anyone who wishes to savor the authentic delicacies of Bengali cuisine...
Keep it up folks -

Oooh Calcutta! 2011-09-23
Summary: Excellent Bengali food (this is coming from a Bengali). Highly recommended, especially if you haven’t tried Bengali food before. You would have a ball. Word of caution: expensive, but worth it.
Let me start with a redundant statement: Oh! Calcutta is a Bengali restaurant. This may not be surprising to them who have been living in the metropolitan cities of India this past decade, but to me Bengali restaurants are a very pleasant surprise since I have pined for them as a kid and was absent when the onslaught of these East Indian delights came poring into the big cities of the... read more -

Huge Portions, what a taste. 2011-09-20
I had no idea Bengali food was so mustard focuses, partially because I'm an idiot. But the food here is quite nice. I forgot what I ordered, but whether it's a date or a fancy company outing, this is a decent place. Only order two dishes, the portions are big with an eve bigger price tag, so don't over do it! -

Excellent Lunch buffet 2011-08-01
What you are assured of is a scrumptious Bengali lunch.The buffet is priced at 550 +taxes ,but what you get makes it a total VFM place.The variety is not mind boggling,but the taste more than makes up for the lack in variety.They serve chicken/mutton/fish/praws for the main course.The desert options are great too.Overall a great place for a sunday lazy lunch.
Will visit again : Very much :-) -

highly disappointed 2011-07-11
Oh! Calcutta was my one of the fav restaurants in Bangalore till last week but after I went there last sunday for buffet lunch...I promised myself..I will never go again.
Reason: They have increased the price and the taste is gone.
Earlier I used to fill my stomach beyond the limit but yesterday there was nothing good except the chicken curry which I liked.I didn't like anything from veg side.The fish chops were not at all good.It didnt taste like it had fish in it.
The fish curry was with raw mango.Thats one of my fav dish but it was tasteless.
The mangoes were tasteless so it... read more -

Hot food and tasty starters
Cons :
Parking
