Calcutta Brasserie in Milton Keynes

The staff were very welcoming and helpful when explaining how their set menu options worked and even let us swap out a dish for something hotter. The price was reasonable and the food was excellent. Would highly recommend eating here it was very enjoyable

The venue looked amazing .. food was hugely disappointing

Went here a couple of years ago and the atmosphere was lovely, it was warm and cosy and the food was great. Yesterday was a disappointment really, fizzy drinks flat, no hand wash in the loos, lighting very dark for 1pm and just a bit run down. Everytime we got our food within seconds we were asked if it was ok- give us a chance to try it at least! When we went to pay the waiter didn’t even let us check the bill properly, it was all a bit rushed which was strange given when we arrived we were the only people there! It wasn’t great and although we are local we won’t be going back anytime soon.

Excellent friendly staff, although felt rushed as they kept taking things away while we were eating. Food and atmosphere outstanding, and great value too . Would definitely recommend this place.

Came her for my uncles birthday, there was 12 of us so a large group but the food was delicious, great service and friendly waiters. They gave us a great night. One of the best curry’s I have had.

This is the second time we have dined for lunch here and it was again, incredible. Great cocktails too! We really enjoyed it and will definitely come back again.

I love this place. In an old church, lots of atmosphere. Amazing food.

Delicious as always. A cut above any other restaurant and excellent customer service.

Fantastic restaurant, great food, fantastic location

The food and service were amazing. The ambiance was surreal.

I recently enjoyed a delightful lunch at Calcutta Brasserie. The butter chicken was perfectly cooked, rich and flavorful, paired excellently with aromatic saffron rice and soft naan bread. The ambiance is unique and captivating, housed in an old chapel with stunning, artistically fine interior design. The atmosphere adds an extra layer of charm to the dining experience, making it a memorable visit. Highly recommended for both the food and the setting.

We arranged a large takeaway order. When we came to collect, nothing was missing. The standard of the food. was very good and we had a large variety of dishes, including two different lobster dishes and several meat dishes and vegetarian dishes. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and unusual- previously a church. So a nice venue if you want to eat in rather than take out. Would recommend.

Had the best experience here for my wife’s birthday, absolutely exceptional customer service from all staff unfortunately didn’t get any names but all the bengali staff and eastern european staff were brilliant. Even gave a surprise birthday cake without me even having to ask for free! Definitely recommend to everyone in the area or travelling into Milton Keynes like we did!

Great place hidden on the HighStreet in Stony Stratford.. Set menu is really good .

5 Star rating. Stony Stratford is beautiful so to find this little gem there was great. 11 of us went for a meal. The staff were great the food is amazing and the venue is something to be admired. Once an orphanage and then a church it’s now home to one of the greatest mouth watering delicious food experiences you will find hard to match. Please don’t miss this great place you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful restaurant in converted Chapel. The staff are welcoming and really efficient. While tablecloths and napkins. However l was surprised how cheap the food was. Then l understood why. I had Tandoori mixed grill. The quality of the meat extremely poor. Lamb chop inedible. Chicken tough and maybe reheated. Shame as l have been a customer for 22 years but not in last 4 years. Very disappointed.

Took our boys for a lovely meal tonight. The service was impeccable with great waiters that were very attentive. We had a chicken madras and tikka massala and a sizzling platter and the young lad had nuggets and tandoori chicken. The food was really good quality and lots of it. A really good meal. All of us loved it and could not fault it in anyway. It was less than 100 pounds for 4 of us with drinks and we were all completely full.

Wonderfully friendly staff, very attentive and excellent service! Food was delicious too - had the banquet meal which was excellent value for money because they offered to top up any curries we wanted (not that we needed to because there was plenty of food!)

This place is special. There were 4 of us, all with different meals and every mouthful was delicious. Not only is the food excellent but the staff are delightful, they are friendly but not overpowering, relaxed but observant. We will be back as the meal was so good.

Went here for my birthday. It is a lovely building to have a nice dinner. The food was amazing.

It’s the perfect place for Indian cuisine. The staff is really great and the restaurants aesthetic is so authentic as it’s an old church ! Definitely recommend it ♥️

Loved this, probably my favourite curry restaurant. Will definitely go back even though its a little pricey.

Our favourite and last night they were just extra amazing for a birthday ! Thank you food amazing xxx

Very cool settings in a church. Food was great, especially considering the price of the fixed menu. So much food..., could not finish!! Will be back!

We had been here before about 6 years ago and we’re not that impressed. Decided to give it another try and boy what a change . Food was excellent, prompt and service could not be faulted. I would definitely recommend.

The setting is stunning. Food seemed good when we consumed it the first time. However two of our party had gastroenteritis symptoms afterwards. One could be excused, two is not a coincidence.

Visited for a meal for 2 for a special occasion. This place has a fabulous character and it’s an amazing space. I will not spoil it by giving you the detail. The service is quick, the waiters are very attentive and the food is just amazing. A brilliant experience for my first time. I will definitely be returning with friends.

Last Saturday, my husband, grandson, and I had a delicious meal at Calcutta Brasserie as always. Friendly service and great atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. Would HIGHLY recommend. Made to feel very welcome.. and the bill was surprisingly less than expected for the standard of food . And the building ws simply stunning Charlotte and Glen xx

Visited this place after a colleague who lives locally recommended, amazing setting, friendly attentive staff but in no way intrusive, wonderful flavoursome food, I had the Corri gosh, basmati rice and keema naan, perfect portion size, fast service and reasonably priced to boot. Definitely one to visit, lots of different dishes on the specials list to which I haven’t come across before, I wanted to try several!

It's nice and delicious. After all, staff and management are excellent. Beautiful place and traditional church building. Charming nature and excellent foods and staff.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere welcoming and friendly.

Great food in a wonderful setting & lovely staff

Impressive Location. Delicious food

Worked perfectly. Parked right outside on a row of EV chargers. Characterful approach and interior, friendly efficient helpful staff. High grand interior but also cosy tables in half booths on higher level. Extensive menus. We had a couple of veg platters ample for the four of us followed by good selection of meals. We were here for about an hour which fitted neatly with our schedule. Very enjoyable. Surprised that it came to no more than £20 each inc booze. Recommended

Food was ok. Speed of service was fine. However being treated by a waiter so rudely was not . No welcome , no smile. No please . No thank you. No warmth, no friendliness. The 10% service charge was automatic and this bloke certainly didn’t deserve a tip. It’s not tricky… make customers feel like guests

Revisited after a couple of years. Great food and service better than I remembered for my past visit

There are many Indians to choose from in Stony Stratford and surrounding areas however Calcutta is up there with being one of the best. Service is second to none, you will receive the warmest welcome. Each dish was delicious, very tasty, served lovely and hot with great flavours. Good one and atmosphere too, in a beautiful building. Thanks so much.

Every section of calcutta brasserie is amazing.Specially i love the delicious food and atmosphere.

📍Calcutta Brasserie, Milton Keynes Look at how beautifully picturesque this restaurant is, set in a 17th century chapel. I was super excited to be invited in to try their Christmas menu, it was an incredible visit! 😍 We had the Festive menu A and below is what you get Starters: • Baby sprout pakora • Vegetable samosa • Lasooni tikka • Peshawar lamb kofte Main: • Murgh makhni • Kori gassi • Lamb rogan josh • Bombay potatoes • Mushroom & vegetable jalfrezi Sides: • Basmati Palau rice • Assorted bread basket All of it was delicious, my favourites were the veg samosa & Murgh makhni, they have a menu B also which is similar with a few different dishes ☺️ A tasty feast to share with your friends & family all of this for the below prices: 2 courses - £23.95 3 courses - £30.95

We spent 60 pounds Railway mutton curry 11 pounds 0 rating oil and too spicy even street dogs won’t eat that curry Chicken biryani 14 pounds 0 rating one of the worst biriyani i never eat in my life Nan bread very bad Raitha who will put sugar W T F really ? Please please avoid food from this restaurant we throw in bin

Excellent interior, delicious food, great service! The restaurant is inside a former chapel with artwork on the ceiling and walls. It was a great experience and we will be going back if we're in the area

Thought we'd give this place another go, after their brief foray into a 1 star food hygiene rating. They are now back at 5 stars. The building is a converted church/monastery (I'm not sure) but the architecture and artwork on the walls is stunning; it's a great setting for a restaurant. We went with some friends who had not been before and they too were impressed with the place. We ordered the tandoori sizzling platters, chicken tikka, and a medium spiced lamb dish, all with rice and naan. The meat on the sizzling platters was quite a strong flavour (meaty, if you wish), and it all looked and tasted quite similar even though it was a mixed platter. Friend enjoyed his chicken tikka, and I enjoyed my lamb dish too. The thing that ruined it for all of us - and has done for me before - is the service. It always seems just a bit abrupt, aloof. They are also always trying to take away items from the table whilst you are still eating. My friend was dipping his naan into his curry bowl and they were still trying to take that! It's not nice having people lean over you trying to clear the table whilst you are eating. The table wasn't rammed with dishes so we weren't struggling for space. It just feels like they want you in and out of there (I'm sure that is not the case but that is how it comes across). I probably wouldn't rush back, but food isn't that bad and the building is amazing; could just do with some customer service training. Might be back…

Absolutely awful experience. Staff was extremely rude and made me feel that uncomfortable i had to leave. Will never return again!

Fantastic place, amazing food, great service and good value of money for lunch. I will be come again for sure.

The food was good a little more well done then I would have liked I had a tandoori mix. Staff were grate but the building was a little rough around the edges (missing light bulbs,broken seats, and so on). The room I was seated in was very grand despite this. Over all I would recommend coming here if on a budget if about 15 pounds per person

The coolest location for a restaurant inside an old church. The waiters were very attentive and even brought over a book explaining how it was an old boys school. Food was tasty and they even made it to suit our taste.

Visiting after 8 years. The food was fantastic and authentic, not at all generic. The staff, in particular a chap named Alex was very friendly and accommodating to our group of 8. Excellent service. Will be coming again soon.

The food is very good and I would recommend it. The food is very nice and the service is second to none . It's worth a visit just for the building and the atmosphere.

Don't think I have ever had such an overpriced poor Indian meal.

to do impeccable service excellent dishes warm welcome you can chat with everyone we recommend

Absolutely fantastic food, the building is beautiful would highly recommend

First time visiting with family. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Food was very good, and everyone enjoyed their chosen dishes. My husband was even able to order a chicken vindaloo which wasn't on the menu. The restaurant has a lovely setting and the decor is really nice. We will visit again.

Nice and clean, great food and great service 👍

Historical building (monastery?) that doesn't really suit an Indian restaurant. But the food was heavenly... maybe that's the connection... there were three of us and we were completely thrilled.

Managed to take a photo with Apprentice 2023 runner up Michelle!!!!

A really good Thali that didn't feel like too much food! Has to be one of the most impressive restaurant settings, being in the old church. The service was spot on, I do always wish they had draught beer though!

Excellent Sunday lunch.Staff so friendly and efficient and food really good.

Great lamb Rogan Josh in a spectacular victorian gothic setting.

Another fantastic meal here tonight, me and my wife go here every Sunday and the food and service is suberb

Best Indian restaurant in the area in a great building

Sehr gute indische Küche. Sehr nettes Personal ! Die Atmosphäre in der ehemaligen Kirche ist prima. Sehr zu empfehlen und ich komme gerne wieder.

What a wonderful evening we had in this beautiful restaurant. I’ve been a grateful guest here for 2 decades and it never disappoints. The best Indian by far in Stony with attentive service and such wonderful surroundings. I love the candles they have introduced which lend a romantic atmosphere. I hope we never lose this important asset to our town ❤️

Thrilled to be back in this amazing building. It truly is the most beautiful restaurant I’ve ever dined in. The food was as always delicious & there was plenty of it. The waiters were attentive & very polite. I have never had a bad meal...

Went for dinner with a friend after a long time and was pleasantly suprised. The food was delicious, we had the vegetarian platter to share, followed by dosa and ras malai for desert.

Without a doubt the best Indian restaurant in Stony. Great when you eat in or take away - although the inside of the restaurant is stunning and definitely worth a visit!

family party, everything excellent. premises spectacular, food, service, staff all excellent. Amongst the guests were a small number who had food allergies or intolerances, the kitchen staff catered to those people exactly as requested, nothing was too much trouble.

We had the Sunday banquet menu cannot fault anything. Service great, relaxed didn't feel rushed at all. Food very tasty and good portion size. Would definitely recommend and will come again very soon.

We’d been here about 5 years ago and really liked it. Then lockdown and life got in the way. So when we arrived tonight we were hoping for good things. First off the restaurant is beautiful. The chapel setting is lovely. The menu is not...

Food Excellent..staff couldnt do enough for you. I totally recommend this Restaurant. Try something different try here

First visit last night, amazing building but awful service from the minute we arrived with issues over the pre booked table. Waited ages to be asked what we would like to drink and even longer to get them. Again ages until our order was taken...

Came here for our daughters 16th birthday weekend and my partner said he was quite disappointed as he’d had high hopes with this restaurant, always loves an Indian restaurant, and this was showing as No. 2 in ranking on Tripadvisor so we got a taxi...

Myself and my partner decided a week ago that we would have a Indian as our next date night and settled for Calcutta, we were anticipating the exquisite quinine all week long and the restaurant far exceed our expectations, we tried new dishes and they...

The menu here is refreshing different to the traditional dishes offered by most Indian restaurants. Well worth a visit for the food alone, but the interior makes it a very special place to dine with family and friends

Great food. The tables all feel a bit squashed in with not enough space for all the dishes and drinks which spoils an otherwise nice meal. The biryani was especially good.

Been going here every week for the last year and honestly can't praise this Restaurant and its staff enough, great food , great service and very friendly staff

Best restaurant I've been to the food was absolutely amazing the waiters where really helpful in recommending me a dish he went through what I liked and what I didn't like and recommended me based on that and it was amazing night they even gave...

Food taste is good ..but I visited this place for authentic Bengali food but disappointed...

Nice food, staff friendly. Good curry house. Update: had the Sunday banquet. Really good value. Staff were great as usual. Would highly recommend 👌

Very busy and loud. Some confusion with mixing the feast menus. Very tasty! Better experience when it's a bit quieter and not 10 in a group!

Fantastic food and drink 🍸 🙂🙂🙂🙂.

Showing as open for business, ordered online for collection, received confirmation of order. Turned up an hour later as instructed to collect only to find the restaurant closed. Really poor to accept an order and send confirmation if they are closed. 3 other people arrived at the same time to the same issue.

Came here on Christmas day and had the set menu. There were plenty of poppadoms but not enough dips. Starter was a mixture of samosas, bhajis, chicken etc. This was okay, nothing special. Main course was butter chicken served with pilau rice and naan bread. This was quite disappointing if I'm honest. There were also other side dishes served alongside the main but we weren't told what they were so it was just a guessing game. This is the same for the naan breads, they were all mixed together so didn't know what we'd get. For dessert we were told we were having traditional Indian ice cream, which initially sounded interesting. This was just a lump of pistachio ice cream served on a plate with a lemon sauce. The overall experience was pretty disappointing especially since it cost £47 a head before adding on extra for drinks.

Excellent meal, with very good and friendly staff

Service needs to be improved, food was ok but place was great

Nice venue. Good food. Friendly staff.

Sunday buffet good value i would recommend

Style over substance. Firstly, the building is impressive and, therefore, I imagine, a great spot for a date. It's in a chapel, retaining all of its old features including a brilliant domed roof. There's also a bit of a history to the place in the photos on the walls. There's quite a bit of free parking out the back of the restaurant, which is great for Stony. However, the food fizzled and was average / bland. We went for the banquet menu which came with unlimited naan and mains. Of the 2 naan they initially brought, one was a poor man's version of a peshwari, stuffed with dry mango paste 👎. The service is passable but they took a long time to bring additional dishes and take payment. I'd been here a few years back and recall the food being a lot better than a standard Indian. I'd say maybe just try and go off the menu.

Started going here regularly for take away since late last year and it was brilliant - food tasted just like restaurants from South Asia. Last couple of months....not so much. Food has gone down hill big time. Spent £45 today and it will be the last time.

This is a photo of the manager she was very helpful :)

Had an amazing meal tonight celebrating my partner’s birthday, this is the second time we’ve dined here, the food is exceptional!! The interior of the building is beautiful and the service is great. We’ll definitely be visiting more often, thank you.

Terrible service, low quality food. Booked table for family of 6. Arrived at 7 and served sub standard food at 9:30. It appeared that takeaway and delivery orders took priority over seated customers. We noted that there were a few customers complaining. We would not return.

We do a near 2 hour round trip just to come here! Banquet A is one of the most exceptional collections of food, can honestly so it's the best Indian I've ever eaten. Beautiful setting too, absolutely love it here.

Food was excellent and all the staff where professional and friendly, made us all feel valued. Reasonable cost for the food rith an extensive menu znd the setting is stunning.

Lovley venue in Old Church parking around back of the venue or street parking at the front food was good would go back again.

Very nice food, and beautiful renaissance interior.

Beautiful restaurant inside a 17th Century Chapel. Lovely setting, great food and accommodating staff.

Food served not worth the money.

Nice enough service, clean toilets. Can't say I enjoyed my meal though, the meat had unpleasant fatty parts and the sauce was bland. Expensive for what it was.

Set in an old church building, the grandure of the decor was matched by the ethos of the restaurant. We had one of the banquet options but for 7 people. This concept is sweet: starters and poppadoms portioned for the 7 of us, then 2 lots of 5 mains and 2 sides in bowls split between us that have an 'unlimited refill' policy. We only had 3 or 4 refills between us, so didn't see the huge benefit in this option. £20ish each meant that we probably could have had better value buying separately. Either way the staff did serve attentively, however not the most charasmatic or enthusiastic. A little bit 'conveyor-belt' like in their efficiency. Overall the food was good, the service good and setting good. Am I recommending it to everyone. No. Would I warn someone before going, no. If I was invited to go by a loved-one... Sure.
