| - Calcutta Cricket Club came out of nowhere. The second restaurant to open by the same owners as Native Tongues Taqueria, triple C specializes in Bengali food. This may be the first foray into making Indian food hipster.
We decided to check this place out on a Friday night around 7:00pm. No reservations. They have a patio outside that's gorgeous. The inside colour scheme reminded me of a watermelon (green booth seats with pink chairs and walls).
Service was friendly but all over the place. She brought us out incorrect drinks, offered free chai (never came) and forgot about our fish dish because we finished our whole meal then waited a half hour for it to finally arrive. Yikes.
- 3x Banded Peak's Mango passion saison ($7.00 10oz) - never had Banded Peak before so we gave it a shot. Pretty good but I get why they only give you 10oz.
- Dandy's Bright Young Things: English Summer Ale ($7.00 for 16oz) - this one was more drinkable.
- Mocktail ($4.00) - S hated it. He couldn't even finish half of it.
- Railway station chai ($3.50) - this was actually good. Steeped with milk, sugar, cardamom, ginger and clove. Totally overpriced. If they're going to charge this much, you should be getting unlimited refills.
- 5x Garlic naan ($3.50) - I didn't taste any garlic. We originally ordered three but then ordered two more for some other items that didn't show up till late. By that time, the naan was cold.
- Basmati ($3.50) - small portion for the price. Not much taste either.
- Papri chaat ($7.00) - Semolina crisps, spiced potatoes, yogurt, onions, chickpeas, mint, tamarind, chaat masala, sev & pomegranate. This was really bland.
- Paneer kati roll ($8.00) - fresh cheese served with lime, onions, chat masala, green chills and Maggi hot & sweet sauce. S got it with egg ($2.00). He liked this dish best out of the three vegetarian ones he ordered.
- 2x Paneer & honey ($6.00) - seasoned and seared with Bengali garam and kashmiri chili. Topped with local honey and pistachios. To us, it tasted like cinnamon. Boring and unmemorable.
- 3x Bhutta ($5.00) - roasted anything is good. Roasted corn is the best. The lime with salt and chili powder was tantalizing.
- Seekh kebab ($10.00) - ground pork and blend of spices.
- Parsi prawns ($14.00) - prawns in coconut curry with cumin and cilantro.
- Boti kebab ($12.00) - lamb marinated in yogurt, spices and served with mint raita.
- Chicken rezala ($15.00) - white curry with whole aromatic spices, yogurt, cashew, poppy seed and saffron.
- Doi begun ($11.00) - eggplant with yogurt, tomato and mustard oil.
- Bison biryani ($35.00) - basmati rice, potatoes, currants and served with raita. The presentation is unique as it's served in the traditional 'sum' style. Interestingly, they've changed it on their menu and it's now beef short rib ($30.00).
- Paturi ($15.00) - tandoor roasted fish. Apparently, it's straight from India. It came whole with bones and all included. Lightly fried but they overcooked it and it was devastatingly bland.
Don't come here for the food. The portions are small and not worth the price point. For a drink or date, the bar and outdoor patio are perfect.
