I grew up in Calcutta and though this wasn't my staple food, it was an enjoyable treat I reminisce about often. It's hard to find Bengali food represented amongst the numerous incredible Indian food establishments throughout this country. So when we chanced upon this spot on our maps, we had to drive out to LIC to give it a try. And the food did not disappoint! The luchi alu dum was excellent but the eggplant cooked in mustard oil truly transported me back home.
Ordered delivery from here and had a good experience. Butter chicken was amazing and a must-order. The singhara was also excellent - loved the sauce it came with. Garlic naan was meh, just very bready with not very much garlic. Also had the baign bharta but it wasn't too memorable. Get the butter chicken!!
I came here a couple years ago and I wasn't that pleased by the restaurant quality and cleanliness; however recently I came in at the end of 2025 and I was amazed at how they turned around with each of their dishes. I came in with a large group of about eight people so we tried a lot of the menu. Each dish was flawless, quality, and not overly oily. I would definitely come back because the taste of the food was delicious. Service was amazing and they allowed BYOB. Cleanliness was a lot better as well and it seemed like they had more patrons than when they first opened. I'm not so sure if they changed ownership but the food was great and I will be coming back in the future! Taste: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5
I came here to grab some food to-go and had a pleasant experience! The interior of the restaurant is casual, and there's plenty of seating. The staff here are super sweet and easy to talk to. I got their butter chicken with garlic naan and it took about 10 minutes for my order to be ready. Would love to come back to try their $13 lunch special!
Came to Oh Calcutta for dinner with a friend - we arrived early on a weekend night and there was plenty of seating, though it did start to fill up later. I started off with a masala chai tea which was delicious and warmed me up. Then we split a butter chicken, saag paneer, and garlic naan. The entrees also each came with a bowl of white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were generous. Service was fast and courteous, and our water glasses were never left empty. A true neighborhood gem when craving Indian food!
If you're interested in trying a different type of Indian food that's beyond just normal stuff you get, this is the place to go because They have Bengali style Indian food. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly, the owner came and had a nice friendly convo with us. I appreciated that the food wasn't heavy on the creams and oils Food we got - puchka: nice potato filling - jhal muri: little rice puffs roasted in mustard oil - cholar dal: standard yellow lentil daal - chorchuri: mixed veggie dish - begun basanti: AMAZING, the best dish we had 100% - methi mutter malai paneer: not a fan of this dish, it was like malai paneer dish but more tomato forward and methi thrown in - aloo bhartha: second favorite dish, fun flavors - garlic and onion naan: well cooked and good flavors Ambiance: more of a fast casual vibe but better service than a fast casual place Overall, great place and appreciate opportunities to eat different type of indian cuisines!
Really 3.5 stars. Quite restaurant in lic. Family owned and run, with byob. The mullguwahty soup was alright, nothing super flavorful. A decent lentil soup. The Gobi Manchurian pretty good, but the portions in general are on the small side. The bhindi (okra) was stir fried with chopped up onions and tomatoes, it's a dry dish. It was good enough. The chole (garbanzo bean) curry had a thick tomatoes based curry, also nice. The rice has some fennel flavor. We had the chili onion Naan. I did not enjoy it, it was very thick, and you could barely taste the chili or the onion. Service is great and very friendly. Our waiter was clearly new at with tables and did not know the menu.. perhaps it was his first day.. he also didn't know how to cork a wine bottle. Just an observation, it had no impact on our meal.
Recommend! Recommend! We tried an appetizer, soup, two entrees, naan and a dessert. Everything was delish. The service was very good. It's an informal atmosphere (very friendly) and the Staff kept our water glasses filled (and I drink a lot of water). Will go back and try some of the other items on the menu, although what we had would be worth a repeat. I also am impressed with the price point of the entrees. Very reasonable. It was cold out and I asked for a hot drink. The Masala Chai ($3) was slightly sweet and very good. For an appetizer, we shared a Tangara Gobi Manchurian ($9.50), which is a nice portion for sharing of cauliflower in a hot chili paste. Perfect level of spice for us and delicious flavor. Also shared a Mulligatawny Soup ($6.50). Again, nice size for sharing and the lemon really highlighted the flavors in the soup. For entrees, we got Saag Paneer ($15.50) and Vegetable Makhni (same price). Both had a lot of flavor. The Garlic Naan ($3.50) was good - could have used a bit more garlic. Just to try it, we got a side of Beguni (4 slices of fried eggplant - $8.50). That had a nice flavor also. When the server put the rice on our table she told us we could get more if we asked for it. Since everything was so good, we decided to share a dessert. Kulfi (ice cream - choice of pistachio or mango - we got mango - $4) was light and flavorful. We took much of the entrees and Beguni home as leftovers. There was lots of food.
Good new Indian place in lic. Great service with takeout. The food was plentiful in terms of size. Nice mixture of things in the menu. Food flavor was good on the chicken vindaloo. Nan was good as well: white rice cokes with every order. Raita as good as was
My friends and I enjoyed a Saturday dinner at this restaurant. I've walked by it multiple times and even saw it mentioned on a NYT article! Many entrees are within the $15-20 range, with the exception of the seafood dishes, which are affordable. We ordered 4 entrees and garlic naan bread. We checked with the server if they felt that was enough food; we were told "each entree is enough for one person", which is true. If one were to do takeout of an entree and rice, that would have been enough for a meal, so I'd say the prices were fair. We ordered the - Paneer Tikka Masala - Butter Chicken - Now the Paneer Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken were the exact same but different protein. This was my favorite, but sharing amongst 4 it wasn't as much protein as I'd like especially for a sharing style restaurant. But it would have been plenty if one was ordering to enjoy by their self - Goat Mughlai Biryani - Great with the yogurt sauce. The goat meat was good but may opt for an easier protein with less bones next time. - Chorchori- wanted a veggie dish. Everyone's lesser favorite on the table - Butter Naan - It felt more of a a means to soak up the sauce of the tikka masala dishes (low-key if you're getting takeout here I'd just pick up garlic naan from TJs) - Gulab Jamun - My friend encouraged us to order. It was a great sweet treat to end to the meal! Service was solid as they came around and refilled waters when cups were empty. The interior has a main dining room with smaller-sized tables. Very casual dining space; I think the lighting could be improved that would elevate the vibes a bit more, but still solid if you're looking to have good food in the area with no need for a reservation.
nice indian place specializing in food from Calcutta. its a bit on the fancier side with smaller portions but prices are reasonable especially for everything beside mains. we got the jhal muri, rogan josh, begun basanti, garlic naan, alu paratha, and sandesh. nothing stood out for me but everything was solid. service was great and place is very clean.
Came here for an early dinner and the waitress kindly went through recommendations on her menu. Chicken korma - a decent version with lots of herbs and very creamy, but it didn't have the nutrients that I like in korma (Sahib still best for this) Baigan bharta: an eggplant dish that's tomato in base. Friend is a big fan of this; I thought it was a good contrast but not my favorite. Entrees come with rice and we got the paneer Naan as well which is like a quesadilla. It was good but would opt for a different Naan next time. There's a lot more regional dishes I haven't seen before that I think I'll try next time that I'm here.
First off, the service is amazing. We had the friendliest and most smiley man come and take our orders. He also gave some recommendations upon our request, and our cups were never empty of water. We had the Chili Chicken, Garlic and Jalapeno Cheese Naan, Shrimp Tikka Masala, and Murghir Jhol. Everything was yummy, but my husband and I agreed the best items were the Jalapeno Cheese Naan and Shrimp Tikka Masala. They're able to adjust spice level in case you're someone who is unable to handle spice. The place was quiet, unassuming, and brightly lit. We hope to see more people try this place soon!

Definitely check this new Indian/Bangali Cuisine in the heart of LIC . Right on the corner , easy from the 7 Train Vernon Blvd Station. Staff was very welcoming and the owner was a sweetheart. Now on to the food we tried the CHAPLI Kabab, Butter Chicken , Lamb Bhunawala Mirchawala etc . Everything was super delicious . No wonder why they were the talk of the town on NY Times. Service - 10/10 Ambiance- 10/10 Parking - Street All Meats are Halal read more
Oh! Calcutta feels like a real gem. The vibe hits you first--lots of warm light, art, and well-designed space that's as inviting as the staff. Everyone working here actually listens, checks in about food and comfort, and puts care into getting things right. The menu leans big: not just the classics, but a genuine spread for vegetarians too. The potato Dum Aloo and fluffy luchi are comfort food done just right, and the lamb curries--Kosha Mangsho and Rogan Josh--bring a depth of flavor you crave. Pakoras and veggie cutlets start things off perfectly crisp and fresh. That signature Roohafza lemonade is a fun, tangy twist. Prices line up with the quality, so you leave satisfied, not swindled. Street parking never hurts. It's the kind of meal and hospitality that sticks with you--straightforward, nothing canned or artificial, just solid Indian cooking and thoughtful service in the heart of the city. read more

Oh! Calcutta is hands down the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. The food is amazing I felt like I could have eaten two servings of their butter chicken with garlic naan, it was that good. The staff is warm, welcoming, and make you feel right at home. If you love Indian food, put this restaurant on your list you won't regret it. read more

The food was okay--appetizing but not particularly memorable. I had the malai kofta, which was unfortunately bland and lacked the rich flavor I was expecting. The samosas were light but not very filling, while my friend enjoyed her lamb dish. The rice and garlic naan were good, probably the highlights of the meal for me. The restaurant itself was clean with plenty of seating, and the service was polite, though nothing stood out. I might have just picked the wrong dish, but overall, I've had more flavorful Indian food elsewhere. read more

This is the 3rd Indian cuisine at this very location. I like the modern touch decor and service was good. Hubby and I went for dinner on a weekday and they were not busy. We ordered the Butter Chicken (their version of chicken tikka masala), Saag Paneer and Garlic Naan. Food was okay but not great. I guess we just missed the one from before. read more

My wife and I had a lovely lunch at Oh Calcutta! in Long Island City. The food was excellent, with authentic flavors that highlighted the richness of Bengali cuisine. The menu was extensive, offering a great variety of Bengali dishes, along with the usual North Indian favorites, making it a perfect spot for anyone looking to explore this unique regional cuisine. We ordered the chicken curry (murgir jhol in Bengali), the dry mutton (khosha mansho), luchi (Bengali bread), some drinks and the fish fry. The service was equally outstanding--prompt, friendly, and attentive, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Lastly, I have eaten many times at the popular namesake chain in Delhi and though there is no connection with those restaurants, the food is just as good. We'll definitely be back! read more
