A surprisingly wonderful Indian food restaurant in the area! There were a variety of flavors and the service was great.

Ordered samosas, pepper chicken, okra, saag with lentils, and chicken vindaloo – everything was delicious! Spices seemed authentic and not overpowering.

The vindaloo was very spicy, hit the tongue like fireworks, and still had great flavor! The okra and pepper chicken were favorites! Garlic naan was so good too!

Recommended.

I ordered lunch from this place through Uber Eats and was excited when I saw the name Oh! Calcutta, since the original restaurant in Kolkata is a premier spot I know well from back home. I was delighted to find Indian Bengali food available here in New York, and although I had thought of visiting for dine-in, I decided to try delivery first.

I began with the Gobi Manchurian (indo- Chinese style cauliflower appetizer). The portion size was underwhelming—just a handful of florets—and the taste was only average. What surprised me most was the use of whole green cardamom pods in what was supposed to be an Indo-Chinese dish, which felt out of place. Not terrible, but definitely not the Manchurian flavor I’m used to.

Next was the Murgir Jhol (Bengali home style light chicken curry), which was a bigger disappointment. I was expecting a comforting, home-style Bengali chicken curry with bone-in curry cut pieces, but instead received chewy, boneless breast chunks in a thick, oily gravy with a slightly burnt flavor. While I appreciated that there was a potato included (a staple in Bengali chicken curry), it was clearly boiled separately and added later, leaving it bland and disconnected from the dish. Overall, it didn’t capture the homestyle essence I was looking forward to.

This experience was not what I expected from a restaurant carrying the “Oh! Calcutta” name. Still, I may give it another try with different dishes before making a final judgment. For now, though, I left disappointed.

Update: I ordered from this place again, and unfortunately the experience wasn’t great. The fish fry was extremely basic — honestly, something I could make better at home. I did not like the dry chili chicken either; it didn’t resemble the Kolkata-style chili chicken at all. The chicken pieces were tough, and the flavor was completely off from what you’d expect if you’ve ever had the real thing in Kolkata.

The Kolkata-style chicken biryani was also disappointing. It tasted more like plain rice mixed with chicken curry rather than true biryani. I’ve had far better biryani from home kitchens. Overall, this round of food was not up to the mark.u

Stopped by for a quick lunch on a weekday. The food was absolutely delicious. I got spinach paneer with cabbage and bread. Rasmalai was for dessert. The place was pretty empty, very clean. Bathroom was tidy. I really liked that they didn’t play loud music. It was at an unobtrusive volume and it was instrumental Indian music. It is such a rarity nowadays. Oftentimes I try to leave a restaurant or a store as soon as possible because of an annoying music or something on TV. I wish I came to the area more often to eat at this place. The only minus is that they do not serve alcohol.

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!

Stopped by for Indian tea and tried their lunch special – what a find!
Authentic flavors and warm, welcoming staff made us feel right at home. The lunch special offers great variety: we had fish, chicken, and lamb, each served with rice or bread plus complimentary cabbage subji that transported us straight back to India.
For dessert, we sampled gulab jamun, mishti doi, and rasmalai – all equally delicious!
Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine.

I came to Oh! Calcutta,Jackson Heights with high hopes and I would say this is an absolute disappointment.

a) Food: Its a hit or miss here. Portions are fine but the food depends. We ordered a chilli paneer which was too sweet. Malai tikka was good. But the biryani was absolute disappointment. The name does not do justice. The chicken in the biryani has gone bad – smells. For the sake of my life we had to leave the chicken.

b) Service: Don’t start with this. They were in a rush to clear the plates. They cleared half completed Malai tikka serving plate. The servers, maybe, cannot hear properly. Things have to be repeated a couple of times. Even they didnt bring the check to me and I had to go to the counter to pay. I would give a negative star if possible.

c) Location and ambience: Location is actually pretty good. You can get an uber or just use the Subway and u would get here instantly. Just next to the subway. Ambience was fairly good, was pretty empty when we go there.

Overall: I would NOT recommend this place. You may try the malai tikka but as I said, be aware of the chicken, it might be bad.

First time trying this place and overall it was a great experience!
We would’ve appreciated a bit more guidance through the menu highlights, especially since it was our first time trying this kind of food — but the dishes we tried were flavorful and satisfying. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was well-prepared. Definitely a nice spot to explore Indian/Bengali cuisin

Ruhel was so sweet and Oh! Calcutta has the best curry ever!!! Definitely the best I’ve ever had. They have a nice patio in the back that me and my pup enjoyed. They specially made my goat curry and this is definitely my new go-to in LIC. Also the menu is very affordable. So glad I stopped by!

Indian restaurant in LIC focusing on North Indian cuisine. My favorite dishes were the gobi manchurian and the biryani. The rest of the curries and naan were what you expect. I will say that the mango lassi and masala chai were both really good, would recommend those if you go.
