  “Was taken to Calcutta by friends who recommended it knowing I'm extremely fussy with food First impression when we walked in was wow what a stunning restaurant in an amazing building Service was excellent there was no rush to order which is a plus for me The food was amazing my chicken melted in the mouth it was that tender the side dishes were sensational my only criticism is the naan bread was cut into quarters I prefer it left in one piece but a lot of restaurants do that now I wish they wouldn't but it did taste amazing Would I go back absolutely yes I would and I will”

  “Visited for the first time to celebrate a family birthday. Restaurant had a musky smell and was very cold. Our party of 5 were seated at a small table, even though there were plenty of other tables, due to it being so quiet, so we had to move things around and squish things on the table when the food arrived. Food was tasty and quickly served. Staff seemed to hang around, eager to clear plates as soon as they were clear, whilst some were still eating. Not sure we would return.”

  “Our favourite place for takeaway Indian. Went for sit down meal, had a thalli which you can’t get on takeaway. Nice staff, quick service.”

  “Restaurant is impressive, parking around the back. Inside is huge and we arrived on a Friday night and it was very noisy inside. Nearly all the tables we occupied and we were seated upstairs in the corner. Table was great and nice and big for the 3 of us. Service was excellent, food was excellent but a little pricey. I would come back during the week when it's a little quieter. I would recommend.”

  “We visited Calcutta for our Christmas lunch and were genuinely excited — the food turned out to be absolutely divine, truly five-star quality. Unfortunately, the hosting and service let the entire experience down. We had booked our Christmas do for 1pm, but the moment we arrived the waiter told us, rather abruptly, that the kitchen would close at 2pm and we needed to order immediately. This created unnecessary pressure from the start. We enjoyed a lovely lunch, but when we tried to order dessert around 2pm, we were told the kitchen was closed and that we needed to pay our bill and leave. For a Christmas meal to last less than an hour must surely be some kind of record — and not in a good way. We were genuinely gutted. What made it worse was that Calcutta already knew this was a Christmas booking, yet never mentioned the early closing time. It’s hard to understand how a restaurant offering Christmas lunches is only open for two hours, or why guests aren’t informed beforehand. To sum up: five-star food, zero-star service. The food was exceptional, but the hosting felt rude, abrupt, and frankly quite awkward. Such a shame for a restaurant with such great potential.”

  “Had the best experience here for my wife’s birthday, absolutely exceptional customer service from all staff unfortunately didn’t get any names but all the bengali staff and eastern european staff were brilliant. Even gave a surprise birthday cake without me even having to ask for free! Definitely recommend to everyone in the area or travelling into Milton Keynes like we did!”

  “Thought we'd give this place another go, after their brief foray into a 1 star food hygiene rating. They are now back at 5 stars. The building is a converted church/monastery (I'm not sure) but the architecture and artwork on the walls is stunning; it's a great setting for a restaurant. We went with some friends who had not been before and they too were impressed with the place. We ordered the tandoori sizzling platters, chicken tikka, and a medium spiced lamb dish, all with rice and naan. The meat on the sizzling platters was quite a strong flavour (meaty, if you wish), and it all looked and tasted quite similar even though it was a mixed platter. Friend enjoyed his chicken tikka, and I enjoyed my lamb dish too. The thing that ruined it for all of us - and has done for me before - is the service. It always seems just a bit abrupt, aloof. They are also always trying to take away items from the table whilst you are still eating. My friend was dipping his naan into his curry bowl and they were still trying to take that! It's not nice having people lean over you trying to clear the table whilst you are eating. The table wasn't rammed with dishes so we weren't struggling for space. It just feels like they want you in and out of there (I'm sure that is not the case but that is how it comes across). I probably wouldn't rush back, but food isn't that bad and the building is amazing; could just do with some customer service training. Might be back…”

  “Style over substance. Firstly, the building is impressive and, therefore, I imagine, a great spot for a date. It's in a chapel, retaining all of its old features including a brilliant domed roof. There's also a bit of a history to the place in the photos on the walls. There's quite a bit of free parking out the back of the restaurant, which is great for Stony. However, the food fizzled and was average / bland. We went for the banquet menu which came with unlimited naan and mains. Of the 2 naan they initially brought, one was a poor man's version of a peshwari, stuffed with dry mango paste 👎. The service is passable but they took a long time to bring additional dishes and take payment. I'd been here a few years back and recall the food being a lot better than a standard Indian. I'd say maybe just try and go off the menu.”

  “Calcutta is great Indian restaurant located in a beautiful historic building in the picturesque town of Stony Stratford. We ordered, scallops, king prawns, chicken and lamb. All of which was cooked very nicely and had very nice flavour. Overall considering location, decor, service and food Calcutta Brasserie gets a 5 star rating. Recommended.”
