Calcutta16 Worthing in Worthing

when it reached 30 mins late I phoned the restaurant and was told there was no order despite me having the conformation email the app saying it was ordered and the money being taken from my account I was told to contact just eat which is impossible

really nice meal..and service thank you 😊

Excellent customer service - quick and friendly. Food very tasty and good quality. Lots of vegan dishes! Abid was lovely!

Excellent food and delivery as always 10/10

Fantastic menu choices Great tasting food Brilliant service

I recently ordered takeaway from this place, and it was an absolute delight for my Indian palate! The food was packed with amazing flavors and the perfect level of spice—just how we like it. Each dish was seasoned impeccably, delivering a burst of authentic taste with every bite. Despite being a takeaway, the food was still fresh and piping hot, retaining its rich aroma and texture. If you're looking for a place that nails Indian flavors and offers the convenience of a perfect takeaway, this is the spot to go for!

Had a fabulous birthday meal with friends

Nice tasty food,, very good customer service,,,, good value.....

Last night takeaway was delicious.

We have got 4 masala dosas with expired potatoes and it's stinks , unfortunately our kids got upset tummy afterwards ( they started to eating first while we were waiting),the starters were fine but not as good as before, I am sure new chef is there and did not get experience just yet. We were told to keep our cutlery, even tho it was dirty from starters, and the waitres put it them on table without plate or napkin. Place not really clean and hygienic , such a shame as it was really lovely place before. The owner not really put any effort, the waitress was nice but could not make up to what has happend. Never going back again 0 ⭐

Terrible food. No taste. Most disappointing.

This has taken me straight back to India. So authentic. Cannot recommend enough.

I recently enjoyed a delicious meal featuring Hyderabadi lamb shanks, dosa, and Chettinadu chicken. The lamb shanks were incredibly tender, with a rich, flavorful sauce that was perfectly spiced. The dosa was crisp and light, complementing the meal well. The Chettinadu chicken stood out with its bold, fiery flavors and fragrant spices. Overall, it was a delightful culinary experience with authentic flavors.

I ordered dosa, lamb shanks and onion baji. It was delicious and the service was really good.Especially lamb shanks flavours are tempting me to go there again.

Excellent food and delivery as usual 10/10

Best curry in the entire county. Fantastic food, great service, prompt delivery time!!!! Can not recommend this place enough!!! Thank you so much for restoring my faith in take away orders!!!

Excellent food and speedy delivery, very impressed 10/10

'medium' curry was insanely hot. inedible. Tried to eat next day with lots of added coconut milk mixed in, but still too hot so ended up in the bin! :(

Wow! Fantastic meals. Everything was spot on. Best curry we’ve had in Worthing or anywhere really. Lovely delivery man.

Stunning food and staff we love it here

Excellent food and wonderful service. Great deal on the mid week set menu, some absolutely fantastic dishes available. We will be back :-)

Delicious food and speedy delivery as always.

Delivery fantastic, ate in Calcutta a few times. Always been good but Take away!! Not so good. Shame

Great Indian restaurant. I went with a group of friends for a lovely evening meal after a jolly get together for a game. The food there was delicious, the owner and staff are lovely, despite the large number of us (9 people) there was no issue with a table accommodation and the service was that of lightening speed - I mean what's not to love. Definitely 5 star experience in my eyes.

Brilliant just going to order again tasty and good portions.

I had chicken korma it was yummy and delicious and I had chicken tikka dosa it was wonderful and I had peshawari naan it was delicious

I had chicken tikka bhuna it was yummy and i have tandoori mix grill and i had peshwari naan it was delicious and dosa was good

I had chicken tikka dosa it was yummy and the biryani was very good and I tried lamb shanks it’s very chattaindu flavour in it

Well this place was lucky to get two star rating from me. I went here with a friend for dinner, probably the worst curry I have ever had! The Lamb Samosas we had for starters were clearly from a trade cash & carry supplier and cooked from frozen, most definitely not worth the £4.50 price tag! As for the Lamb Curry which distinctively lacked pieces of lamb, I think there was around five small pieces. The madras sauce was dreadful, again this tasted like it was out of a tin and definitely not made in house by chef. My friend’s experience with his curry was even worse, ordering a prawn curry and was served up a shrimp curry. They changed it for a supposedly prawn curry which had three pieces of something but definitely appeared not be prawns! Seriously I have had better frozen curries from the well known frozen retailer. This restaurant’s quality of food has gone down hill rapidly! Maybe it’s time for a new chef Calcutta 16….

Food ordered via Uber eats. Wasn't hot. Chicken dansak had only 4 pieces of chicken. Not much for nearly £13!!

Lovely Anglo-Indian curries. Set price dinner is a bargain.

Delicious as usual and great service 10/10

I had chicken tk dosa it was very delicious

Ordered a delivery.. it took 1 hour and 30 minutes to arrive. When it did come it was cold with small portions and very little meat !

Our favourite Indian restaurant ever! Calcutta 16 serves exceptional Indian food. Excellent service and we always receive such a warm welcome. The restaurant is always very busy at the weekends year round. Our family favourite dishes are King prawn korma- HUGE prawns and gorgeous thick smooth sauce, Chicken tikka masala- all white breast meat and a delicious fragrant sauce, the chef’s special Lamb shaktari is amazing too (with a spicy kick). The naan breads are the best! Excellent value for money too. Highly recommend. Calcutta 16 is a must visit in Worthing!

Fantastic food and a really lovely delivery man!

Lovely little restaurant. Clean and decorated with lovely pictures. The food was very tasty. We ordered a chicken biryani and a masala dosa. A big thank you to Kumar our waiter who was very good and made our visits special. His service and recommendations were spot on.

Food was excellent and the service was friendly and attentive. I recommend it

Delicious food and excellent service from Kumar!

I have biryani and chicken Tikka dosa I feel like I have in India

Absolutely delicious food and very impressive delivery time. 10/10

Frauds- Not an Indian restaurant. Avoid.

I have lamb shank it's very nice and the biryani was yummy and masala dosa it's very delicious

Overall a nice time. But I found the food was hit and miss. Nothing stood out. A few dishes were disappointing but not bad. Service was a bit rushed. I won't be rushing back there. But also wouldn't refuse if friends wanted to return. Just average.

We have ordered a take away from this place based on good reviews but unfortunately the food wasn't edible. It was warmish, split and overall off tasting and ended up in the bin. We have contacted this establishment but they have decided to ignore us and not issue a refund. Disgraceful customer service. Never again.

Great service and kind thank you very much

We had a great time here on Friday. The curry was excellent rice was lovely. Poppadoms served quickly. We asked the waiter to recommend us some dishes and he come up with some really delicious food for us. Friendly staff and draft beer. All in all a good Indian restaurant

Welcome was warm and friendly. Seated quickly on a quiet Wednesday evening. Waiting staff could not have been more attentive. Restaurant is comfortable and clean with a modern feel. The food was outstanding and up there with some of the best I’ve eaten. I’ll be going back in a Heartbeat. 3 mains with pilau, keema and mushroom rice, onion bhaji’s, keema naan, poppadoms, 3 cobras and 3 diet cokes £79 and great value for money.

I have chicken tk dosa i enjoyed the flavour the biryani every dish has good taste and i have chi bhuna with chapathi is very good taste

I have lamb shatakari is special dish is very tasty i enjoy the flavor of dish and l have dosa with my family they enjoyed the food

Excellent as per usual. Delivery driver was also excellent

Came with work friends for a birthday celebration. I have not eaten curry in a while so I do not really remember what I liked, but I know I do enjoy it. My friend recommended the biryani and I am so glad I listened to her (I had chicken dual biriyani for my main). It was delicious! Plain naan and a Cobra beer were great accompaniments too The appetizer of poppadoms with pickles was nice, I enjoyed the mango chutney. We then had a starter from the menu, I had the lamb kebab, not exactly sure what I was expecting but it came as a bit of a surprise, a lot spicier than I thought it would be too, but it was tasty. Desert was a mango sorbet, quite hard at first and not overly flavoursome as it was so frozen, but as it softened up the flavour became more apparent. In all a very nice meal and definitely one to be repeated! Highly reccomend Calcutta 16

I have dosa it was good and delicious and I have lamb shank it's very good

This is traditional Indian restaurant.the taste of the food is very delicious. I visit here once in every week. I recommend to all of you visit here and enjoy indian food or meal.

The food was very good and very natural taste and the dosa I haven eaten it’s very good I feel like I eaten in india and unique taste

I would like to share the horrible experience I had with the place. I would like to specify this is definitely not an Indian restaurant so, none of the dishes I ordered had any Indian taste. First of all, it is mandatory in an Indian restaurant to serve water, or given the option of what water we would prefer. So, when I asked before leaving why we weren't served any water the server/owner (I think due to the attitude), he said customers get angry when they serve water without them asking and he also asked us if we like anything else and we didn't ask for water. Not only did he fail to admit that he forgot, he blames the customers. In India, customers are considered as God and water is always served first without being asked. Now, speaking of the food. We ordered masala dosa which is a popular South Indian meal. The dosa we were served was thinner than a tissue paper all the way, uncooked. It looks so big but, you can roll it into the size smaller than a golf ball. The potato filling was dry as if it was taken out of the freezer and stir fried. As for the so called chutneys, they looked more like sauces but, tasted mush worse. There was mustard seeds in the mint sauce, so the combination of the ingredients were all mixed. They have no idea what a proper Dosa chutney is. Next, I ordered an erachi fry which is a kerala beef fry dish. When I got home and opened it to have with my home made Parathas, the tin box had some pieces of meat which looked like it was soaked in a gravy and left to marinate, no aroma as there were hardly masala, probably some garam masala. I had to wash off the meat pieces and recook it. The aroma, colour and flavour was so much better. My friend who had joined me, also a South Indian had the same opinion of the dosa, so I'm sure it is not an individual view. She had ordered a Fish mulakkiyathu which I again a South Indian fish curry which is full of red chili flavour and lots of oil. But, what she got was a basic Bengali fish curry. I wish I could post pictures of what it looked like and how it should actually look let alone taste. But, I shall see if I can post them on a website that will accept pictures. All I would like to say is that if you are going to serve food that is not your delicacy atleast have the decency to learn how to prepare the dish correctly before you humiliate the dish. The people who are unaware of what the dish actually tastes will misunderstand our flavours forever.

Food was amazing, flavourful and suited to each diners individual taste. Plates came out hot so much so you could feel the heat radiating off the plate as it was passed to you

I would like to share the horrible experience I had with the place. I would like to keep it short. First, we were not served water and when asked I was told that customers got angry for being served water and I didn't ask at the time I placed my order. Not an Indian custom. We ordered Masala Dosa which is a South Indian savoury pancake. It is usually thin and crispy but, the dosa we got were thinner than a tissue and not cooked. The potato filling looked like it was taken out of freezer and stir fried. Sauces were served as chutney and the ingredients were mixed. Chutneys served with dosas are mainly made with cocunut, mint and coriander for the green chutney, coconut, red chilies, mustard and curry leaves for the red chutney, coconut with dry roasted chickpea dal some coriander leaves for the white chutney. Takeaway erachi fry is a popular beef fry dish from Kerala. What I got was just meat pieces in a gravy which I had to wash off and recook. I have posted pics of both before and after. Beef fry is actually darker as it is well fried. My friend ordered fish mulakkiyathu which is a kerala fish curry steeped in red chili paste and oil. But, she got a basic Bengali fish curry. Please don't serve food as such as this is not how those dishes actually are. People deserve to experience the authentic dishes in its true flavour. So, please improvise the dishes and I will be grateful for that.

Cannot fault anything, Service, quality of food, attentiveness Easily the best curry house in England!! If you are ever in Worthing and want authentic Indian cuisine then do not avoid Calcutta 16

Reasonably priced, delicious curry. I've had the naan, dhal, papadum, salmon, baltis and prawn puri. All of them taste exquisite and I come here at least once a month. I along with my family enjoy the food and the few times I have come in for take out the staff are very nice. Recommend for you to come here if you want a quick meal to take out or deliver!

Our favourite! Great food, service and prices

Lovely restaurant with charming staff and a diverse menu with some unique authentic dishes. I went for the Gurkha's revenge which was made with loads of Naga chillis. Very hot and flavour was amazing. Mushroom rice with filled with big chunks of mushroom and everything was well priced. Only thing i would change is the quality of the chicken. Would come again, thanks for a great evening!

Great curry, will definitely order from here again.

took well over an hour very slow delivery

Rotis and Chapatis have been horrible recently. It's been 2 or 3 times already. They're hard as a rock. My little cousin makes better rotis than this.

The restaurant food is much better then the takeaway service with 2 chefs one for the restaurant very nice 👌 2nd chef for takeaway not very nice the delivery driver lady delivered my food with my drinks inside the food bag on top of the food curry on my drinks mess everywhere

This restaurant is near to beach and the dishes are amazing and delicious which describes the indian food

Food was really tasty and flavoursome

I ordered a king prawn tikka and whilst it was good there were 3 bits of chicken in there.

Tasty, but the sauce was very runny and chicken was tough.

Large portions, just nothing great. Just a curry. £15 set meal was value, worth checking out. With a drink and service your up to £25 so consider this

Fab food, fab service, fab price. Highly recommended

It was awesome experience never before I get, to be honest for me highly recommended best and tested food quality.

The dosa was amazing and the food has a unique taste and amazing the idly I had good and nice the service was very good

Very nice meal, definitely worth the wait so not worried it was a later than anticipated. They are busy for good reason :)

Seems to be going downhill. Food was ok, not as good as in the past. Service very poor. We were the only diners yesterday but waited too long for our food and drinks. Atmosphere, not really their fault, but there wasn't one, there was no one in there. My biggest issue is the hygiene. It's dirty, especially downstairs in and around the toilet area. The place needs a make over.

The food here is really good, I had a dosa and it was delicious. The only negative is we were forgotten about, someone who came in after us got served before us for just popadoms. I ended up complaining but still not the best service.

We stopped here when we came to Worthing from Southampton to pick up a purchase. We had the midweek deal. It was so good we came back twice more just for the food. Worth the drive. Rah rah ghosht is fantastic.

What a wonderful surprise this restaurant was. It of course had the more traditional dishes on the menu but also had a good selection of dishes that you don’t find at many. I settled for lamb shank Hydrabadi which was delightful, full of flavour. highly recommended.

The food was good and decilious which I eaten food was yummy and I feel like real taste the masala dosa was was very good and the sambar was very good

Absolutely amazing food. The dosa is incredible. I cannot recommend it enough. I’m totally hooked. The takeaways are great, but I really enjoy the dinning experience. I love the king cobras.

The food was very good and natural taste the dosa is very natural taste I feel like I eat in India

Four of us visited for the evening and all our meals were delicious obviously freshly cooked to order. Polite and attentive staff. Would highly recommend trying a meal here

I enjoy the food which I am eat the food was delicious the place is very good the quality of good was unique the dosa I am eaten it was soft and good

We went on a Tuesday evening for a quick vegetarian meal before the cinema. We were so very disappointed. From the Pappadoms to the onions in the salad to the veggies in the curries - all were tired and lacked any distinct flavour. The vegetable special (Kerela vegetable curry) was nothing really special at all! We were so excited about tasting the dhosa which was in fact greasy with a minuscule amount of filling! This is such a shame as we really like the food at the Shoreham branch.

This is a gem. We have found that in the last 6 months or so, most Indian takeaways have raised their prices dramatically. One example of this is many places charging over £3 for a plain naan. Not so Calcutta 16! Wonderfully reasonable prices, whilst remaining a high quality service. Friendly, humble staff. A warm atmosphere. Excellent food, both in restaurant and takeaway. Although we are in Ferring, this is now our new curry home!

Food was delicious as always. Quick delivery time , bonus as 20 minutes earlier than expected time . Big thumbs up 👍

On time, Hot and Delicious. Friendly driver too. Thank you.

Very nice curry, very pleased with quality and service.

Fantastic. I have found my new favourite for Indian takeaway. 😃

Very disappointed that the food was very cold I couldn't eat it

Always such lovely food and the king prawn tikka masala is just WOW, best tikka masala sauce I have ever had, wish I knew what the twist was! Eating in and takeaway always exceeds our expectations. Great job and much gratitude to all those working hard at Calcutta 16 worthing x

Will only get takeaway from Calcutta 16 . Every time it is superb! Absolutely delicious and would recommend everyone tries it cos you’ll never go anywhere else !

Really good curry, will be ordering again.

There was a surprise chillie that made me cry, and i thought i could handle most, lol.. but such lovely dishes, lol. Full of flavour, meat is so tender. Thankyou

Takeaway amazing value for money! Good on them for not hiking their prices but keeping the same quality of food at affordable prices.

Excellent, friendly delivery. Good arrived hot and very very tasty.

Naan bread was burnt Too much gravey and little meat

Good India food and all indian food available. Aloo paratha with pickle awesome.

I ate at Calcutta 16 with a friend and was delighted with the food. I thought I'd give delivery a try and it was just as good. Great food, a lovely restaurant. I recommend eat in or takeaway.
