Popped in this evening to give Calcutta16 Barnham a try since the change from Passage to India (which was always good!). I was very pleasantly surprised!!! The service was great, the updated menu had a good blend of the traditional and new dishes. The portions were hot, fresh, generous and very tasty! The only thing missing was a 0% beer - so I had Coke. We will definitely be back and I see they can now take orders online (10% off for collection)
Another fantastic meal at Calcutta 16 Barnham. The Lamb Chettinad was full of rich, authentic flavour with just the right level of spice, and the Pulao Rice was perfectly cooked and complemented the dish beautifully. A special thank you to Chef Shahan for preparing such an excellent meal, and to Resvy Ahmed for the warm, friendly, and attentive service. They both made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back!
