Oh Calcutta

Not only is this an experience in taste, but also in culture & environment. From the moment you walk in, to the time you leave

It our long term desire to communicate a vision about a way of eating, going way beyond food, starting from the moment a customer comes into Oh Calcutta to the moment he or she leaves. It is difficult to touch people through food, but it is what we aim for every day, provoking some kind of emotion so when leaving the restaurant people take with them a part of the event remembering a particular element that they had enjoyed.

……urad, rajma and kidney beans soaked for eight hours, using the charcoal embers from my tandoor. This process enables me to achieve that special slow-cooked flavour. The secret, this process releases its natural butter oils, instrumental in our House Black Dhal. A creamy, rustic, heart warming and flavoursome lentil curry.

When with family, I enjoyed with our Paratha Naan cooked on the walls of our clay oven.

Enjoy - Meena Anand

For me, “cooking is never a competition. I cook so that I can delight people and connect with them. At the end of the day, I just want to be thought of as a good cook”

To the spices.
To our community.
To our ancestors.

......we are about two things: the cooking & the eating

Our “Billy Goat Curry” is a testament to this and so was the many people that voted our Goat as one of the Top 100 Iconic Auckland Eats for 2020 www.iconiceats.co.nz

....feeling that the standard bouquet of flowers that you’ve got your Mum for the past five years doesn’t cut it any more or those gift vouchers that she still hasn’t used. We think there is no greater gift than food and what makes Mum’s happier than a discounted card is a curry from my eatery, Oh Calcutta

After all there’s an unwritten rule in my house, that on Mother’s Day we don’t let our mum’s do the cooking! - do you agree

The menu is like a love-letter, a tribute to our countryside where all fresh products are prepared with an inimitable self-assurance,

After 25 years of successful independent trading. Emulating the slow food philosophy of "Good, Clean and Fair" were the principles in which my eatery was founded on, the kitchen focuses on using the finest seasonal fresh produce and quality ingredients. It's that adherence to traditions, and excellent cooking, that makes my restaurant a must-visit for any person with a conscious as voracious as their appetite. My idyllic vision is properly brought to life within our restaurant's theatre kitchen and it’s comforting walls.
