Quick info
About Calcutta
Calcutta is an Indian restaurant on Queensway in Orpington, offering both sit-down meals and collection orders. Diners can bring their own drinks, which keeps a meal here a self-supplied affair on the drinks side while the kitchen handles the rest. The menu is built around the curry house staples, with saag paneer a standout plate. Generous portions come through in plates served with plenty of meat, and the kitchen works the spice mix for balance across dishes. The room welcomes walk-ins throughout service, and the counter takes takeaway orders for those eating elsewhere. A complimentary drink at the end of the meal is offered to diners finishing on site.

“It's seems hard to find a outstanding curry but Calcutta definitely is. Have tried several dishes eating inside and take away doesn't suffer standard loss.”
- Christian Gimblett
“We received the Calcutta flier 6 months ago, tried it, and now order all our takeaways here - the food is outstanding. More of a restaurant meal at home than a traditional takeaway. Good portions, plenty of meat, very good spice mix and balance of flavour. Thank you!”
- Sam Harte
“The best curry house in Bristol. Best sag paneer in the world.”
- paul dunphy
“I ordered food for collection. I got home and found the chicken korma to be quite dark brown sauce and the lamb Passanda was also the same source when I allied up I was told that they’re very similar. There was so similar they tasted exactly the same by myself and my partner.”
- Bonnie Rietveld
“Lekker gegeten bij Calcutta. De het was fijn dat we het eten konden delen. Heel aardig, we kregen een gratis drankje ter afsluiting. Ayush en collega's waren heel servicegericht.”
