About Kolkata Cricket Club

Set inside Crown Melbourne, Kolkata Cricket Club channels historic colonial clubhouse hospitality into fire-licked Bengali cooking. The tandoor anchors the dining room—sending out charred seekh kebabs alongside smoky butter chicken. Regulars bypass standard curries to focus on regional plates: slow-cooked Kosha Mangsho goat curry, woodfired mushrooms, and crisp puchka poured tableside with spiced tamarind water. Staff guide tables through wine pairings with sommelier precision while handling large celebratory groups with ease. Round it out with blistering garlic butter naan right off the coals.

  • Tandoor & Woodfire Specialities: The kitchen excels with intensely seasoned seekh lamb kebabs and slow-cooked Kosha Mangsho goat curry blistered over coals.
  • Heritage Clubhouse Hospitality: Front-of-house styling honours vintage cricket clubs, paired with floor staff versed in sharp wine guidance.
  • Puchka & Blistered Breads: Crisp puchka shells paired with spiced tamarind water and comforting charred garlic butter naans start and anchor the table.
