While the CCC may not have the most authentic Indian food, it fills its niche on 17th perfectly. The bar is large, the place packed, and the energy level is turned way up. Service is more than attentive and the well priced food complements the cocktails perfectly. The manager overlooks the process, head swiveling, making sure this well tooled machine runs well. With an uplifting, bright, British Raj decor, cool patio, lots of eye candy, the Calcutta Cricket Club is simply "perfect," (the word of the year), if never excellent.
