Dining Hall Interiors

Calcutta Club is a social club located on Lower Circular Road in Kolkata. It was established in 1907 and the first president of the club was H.H. The Maharajah of Cooch Behar. Although not the oldest private members club in the city, it is notable because it was formed at a time when the existing Bengal Club only admitted whites as members. Lord Minto, the Viceroy of India at the time, had wished to invite Rajen Mookerjee to dine at the Bengal Club and, when the discriminatory policy was thus exposed, a decision was taken to form a club with a membership policy not dictated by race. The Calcutta Club remains a popular social hub for the wealthy in the city. Ironically, despite its origins as a reaction to discrimination, the club has historically restricted membership to men. However, this was changed in 2007 and the club started admitting women members.

Chicken Corn Soup

Prawn Cutlet and Wine

Butter Toast

The Main Dining Hall of the club, also known as the Coffee Room, serves continental dishes and genuine English dinner. It is very brightly lit with old hanging chandeliers. Though it is a huge hall with two connected chambers with a high ceiling, the centrally air-conditioning system keeps the sections cool for the club members & their guests. Drinks like mocktails, cocktails, alcoholic beverages like beer, wine, whiskey, vodka (both Indian & Imported) are served here. Light colored long curtains, vintage wooden chairs, waiters in traditional attire & fine art paintings on walls give a historic British environment to the interiors. For the starters you can try out Chicken Corn Soup (Rs. 45) & Prawn Cutlets (Rs. 80 per piece). In the main course, you may like Bekti Vernique (Rs. 140 per plate) (This is basically like Fish n Chips – fish fry, French fries & boiled carrot peas salad), and Chicken Mont Blanc (Rs. 135 per plate) (This has strong resemblance with Grilled Chicken in Mushroom Sauce with Mashes potatoes).

Lounge:

The premium lounge in the central region of the club, which is open for people to sit and relax at all times, is just beside the lawn. It has a bar and provides facilities of snacks and Italian dishes. It has plush leather sofas which are very spongy & comfy and also a massive LCD screen which plays live sports matches. Though the section is not air-conditioned, and the fans are really high above, light breeze flows in the evening time through the open corridors leading to the lush green lawns.
