Kolkata in South Oxfordshire

One of the best indian places I have visited, the food is amazing and the service is extremely kind. We got nice recommendations and delicious compliments from the staff. Thank you for this such a nice experience!

Christmas eve meal with the family and the staff were so friendly, very attentive and the food was delicious, best Indian in Didcot!

First time at Kolkata. Ali and team were very welcoming. The food was excellent and Ali helped us with the menu suggesting great dishes. Will definately eat here again. The chilli chicken starter is a real winner!

Fantastic curry, with exceptional service. Allie and his team clearly care about what they do and their guests, and do a wonderful job of extending the highest standard of hospitality. Best curry in Didcot. Highly recommend.

Great food , customer service,and facilities

Another excellent meal at Kolkata - this place is definitely a cut above. The extensive menu and the friendly staff make this one of the best restaurants in the area. The owner is outstanding - he has a real passion for the food, making recommendations and providing extra dishes ar no cost because he thought we would like them. If you haven't yet been to Kolkata, you are missing a treat!

Had a takeaway from Kolkata, excellent customer service, the team called me as soon as they had received the order to check through it and the delivery came well within the predicted time slot. Really tasty and would highly recommend, will definitely be ordering again.

We've been getting takeaway from Kolkata for years as the food is absolutely delicious (recommend the veggie dansak!) but we have recently started coming in and Ali treats us like absolute royalty! The atmosphere is fantatsic, and you are always well looked after. We recently came in with a large group for a birthday party and everyone had a fantatsic time. 10/10

We have eaten at Kolkata for years now, be it for a meal out together or ordering in for a takeaway. The food is always delicious the flavour packs a punch and the portions are fantastic! On top of that, Ali has always been incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us not just feel completely at home, like locals whenever we visit. Could not recommend Kolkata any more highly!

Lovely quiet weekday evening meal in Kolkata, was met with exceptional customer service made the dining experience a warm and pleasant experience with the food tasting just as good.

Great food, really friendly service. Would highly recommend

Ordered a takeaway meal for my birthday and it was fabulous as usual. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely night. We have had take away from here before but eating in was a lovely experience. We were very well looked after, the food was delicious and we tried new dishes on recommendation which were stunning. We will definitely be back.

Had a lovely meal at Kolkata this evening. Food was fantastic and the server was so friendly.

Had an evening meal with a friend. He had a chicken shasklik, I had a biryani which the waiter agreed to take the edge off the spice for me - I normally go for kormas. we started with popadoms, with some really nice sauces, and were also given, gratis, a fold-over pancake dish with vegetables to try which was delicious. The waiter service was excellent, the food fantasric, and the portions left us full but not overr-so, which can be so common with Indian dining. Altogether a marvellous experience, and we shall definitely be returning to Kolkata.

Food was excellent, the staff couldn't have been more friendly, Ali looked after us. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Slow delivery no email to confirm and then argue with when you complain. If they can’t deliver in a reasonable time then don’t take the order. Last time we will order with them plenty of another restaurants around.

Top place worth the wait on dilevery even this we wait nearly over an hr but they always let us know an dining in experience always very good manager Ali top bloke an team

Good curry, top banter, BEST friends

Went for a lovely dinner with the family, what an extraordinary time. Food was incredible and very good quality. Ali, was the perfect host at all time and very attentive, we had such a lovely meal. I highly recommend Kolkata for anyone's indian food, best in town. Thanks again Ali for the great service!!! Top stars.

Excellent food, fantastic service. This is rapidly becoming a tradition for us when we visit Didcot for work.

Great restaurant, the staff are lovely and have a bit of a laugh. Food is great and sometimes get some extra tasters! Only place we go for our gatherings of 10+ friends, few beers and plenty of food ordered, with a doggy bag for lunch tomorrow!

Absolutely delicious food paired with outstanding service! The team is incredibly helpful, offering thoughtful recommendations to cater to all dietary preferences and needs. Whether you're dining in or ordering takeaway, this restaurant is an absolute must-try—I can't recommend it highly enough!

Excellent, delicious food. Moved down from Manchester 6 years ago and Kolkata has been our go to takeaway in Didcot. Just about to order another tonight. Food is always spot on and usually arrives earlier than expected.

Service was excellent and Ali was exceptionally

A big 5 stars for the food and great service. We've had our takeaway food from them for quite a while and can't fault it, always arrives piping hot and tastes great. You also have a great choice in what to order, and if not sure they are always willing to help. Just a really lovely restaurant.

Excellent service and great food from Ali and the team. Huge portions, great flavour and attentive staff. Would 100% recommend.

Had a takeaway tonight from here, absolutely fantastic food. Owner and staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. Will definitely be back.

Excellent as always. Food is amazing. The level of care can't be beaten, currently there are road works they contacted us to let us know and to add a few minutes onto the drive, that shows their commitment what a team 👍

Had a lovely curry delivery tonight everything was fresh, tasty and boiling hot! Will definitely be ordering again

We have been using Kolkata for years and it's as good now as it always has been. The owner Ali is always extremely welcoming and ensures the food and service are tip top, nothing is ever too much for the team. Laura and Nat

Great food and lovely service! I will visit India next year and had a great chat about that with the waiter. The served food was so delicious and not expensive at all. I had 2 drinks, one starter and a big main with Naan and rice for £35. It would be my go-to restaurant, if I lived in Oxfordshire.

Amazing service and food definitely recommend

Great food, great service….highly recommend!

Always a warm and friendly atmosphere. Food always great and portion sizes are generous. Highly recommended.

The restaurant had great service even when we only picked up a takeaway. The owner was very kind and helpful and even called the next day to check our food was up to scratch. Food was excellent and packed with flavour, bread was fresh and rice was fluffy. First time going, but will certainly be back.

Excellent food - prompt delivery

Brilliant food and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend the best restaurant in didcot by far!

Has to be one of the best sit down restaurants in didcot by far. Amazing food and owned by amazing people

Quiet when we went but just as excellent food as always and great service

Great place, food and service! Totally recommended! Enjoy your time there!

Amazing service. And appreciated the Tash compliments.

Googled the best Indian in didcot and was not disappointed! 10/10 on food, service was impeccable and quick and easy to order online. Thanks guys, I’ll be back!

We had an amazing experience here! Tonight was our first visit but definitely not our last!! All of the food was delicious and the service was amazing. We loved chatting with the manager Ali. His recommendations were excellent and he was so kind and treated us so well. We can't wait to return!

First visit.Definitely not the last. Everything great.Even got given a free Appetiser and nan bread. So what not to like..

Went here about 12 months ago and though the food tasted ok, there was little atmosphere on the restaurant - most of the visitors were for take-away food. As we couldn’t get to an Indian restaurant in Abingdon this evening (due to traffic attending the huge Fireworks display), we looked again at Didcot options. Note: Kolkata has been recently been given 1 star food hygiene rating 😧. We chose Gurkha restaurant 2 doors up the road. Review on that separately.

Phenomenal food, great service, had a ball! Had a duck curry that was one of the best I’ve had in the UK.

Fantastic food and service, went after work with some friends and were treated really well!

Always tasty food and excellent service, topped off by a free dish from Ali who ensures loyalty is rewarded

Always the best Indian and the most excellent service. Both dining in and takeaways they go above and beyond

Wow what an experience. From the moment we arrived we had such a personal service. He provided some interesting options from the menu we hadn't tried before. The manager also found our spice level perfectly matched to our requirements. Why cook Indian when you can eat out and it's this good.

Had the tarka daal and saag aloo curries. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back again ⭐️

Another lovely meal. The king prawn starters were very tasty, as was the biriani and butter chicken. Great, friendly service too. Will be returning very soon😋

Fantastic service, really friendly, welcoming and helpful matched by the quality and flavour of the food. Highly recommended

We always have a fantastic takeaway curry from Kolkata. Really flavoursome and always piping hot. Their chicken tikka dhansak is the best around!

Been taking my oldest daughter here regularly since she was 5. She’s now 12 and it’s been consistently good. No other Indian will do!

Exquisite food and service! Not often I'm so satisfied with a new place but this evening was very very pleasant. I'll be definitely coming back soon! Highly recommend!!

We have used Kolkata many times over the years and they are a very firm favourite of ours. The food is always delicious, perfectly cooked every single time and I cannot recommend highly enough. Ali is always so kind and a fantastic host. Best Indian around, we wouldn't go anywhere else.

Amazing place, amazing food and child friendly hope to return with my kids soon. The manager is an incredibly friendly and helpful man its always a pleasure to see him.

As always, brilliant service and lovely food. Would absolutely recommend for any special occasion... or just a Friday night

Thank you Ali and team for a wonderful meal. The service was excellent and the food delicious

Hands down best place to go for a curry in the area!

We had takeaway, we tried lots of new dishes, it was all absolutely delicious- great flavours, and suited all members of our family (fussy ones included!)

This is a fantastic restaurant, really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Especially fantastic for coeliacs or people with food allergies, I felt very safe and was able to eat almost everything on the menu. We were kindly given a few free starters to try also & the food was wonderful.

Wonderful service, food came pretty fast too. Ordering here again!

Kolkata is our go to dinner and take away place. The service is personal, warm and welcoming each time we go. Ali is always attentive, service is quick and when we are up for trying something a little different, the team are brilliant with their recommendations. The food is a wonderful level of spice and flavour. We don't go any where else for date night dinners or for Friday night takeaways!

Ali and the Team at Kolkata are fab. Food here is tasty, plentiful and always hot. I order here both for takeaway at home myself, but also on behalf of my workplace where we order food for 25 people for a lunchtime. Each time the service and care is second to none (being offered a complementary drink on pick up and bringing the food directly to the car!) and the experience is all round very pleasant and appreciated by our team. I’d recommend eating here, thank you Kolkata!

Fantastic service! Ali and the staff have great recommendations and always make sure you are treated well

Wonderful curry, friendly staff. Our favourite curry in Didcot!

Amazing food and lovely service. They were very attentive with the food arriving in good time. I also received a taster starter for free as our waiter heard I wanted to try something new

Fantastic meal and very helpful and friendly service , thanks for a great evening

Cracking midweek dinner at Kolkata, service was personal and kind, tasty food well priced and presented. Classic hospitality well delivered. Thank you.

Great staff, positive atmosphere. Lovely food, South Indian garlic chilli chicken I can highly recommend 👌🏻 will be coming back again. Catered for a group of 8 of us and food came all together hot and fresh

Excellent food and great service.

Excellent food and great banter from the service staff, especially toward our colleague form India! He also approved of the food!

Lovely food, great service and lots of vegan options.

Good food. Different taste compared to other Indian restaurants. Friendly staff, especially Ali. Little overpriced

Best restaurant in Didcot. So so so good and very profesional services. I back to you. Thank you so much

I went in late on Saturday after a good few scoops. Normally use another Indian in fairness but fancied a change. Ordered my usual, was recommended another dish. Outstanding. Something I wouldn’t have ordinarily tried. Service was impeccable, even for a takeaway. Will definitely be back.

Amazing meal tonight, especially recommend the chicken chat starter it was easily the nicest we have ever had! Every dish was gorgeous, service fantastic big shout out to Ali who went above & beyond and couldn’t do enough for us. Will definitely be back and will 100% be recommending this restaurant!

Very tasty Indian food with plenty of choice. Very nice staff. If you don't know exactly what you want, just mention your preferences and ask for the recommendation 😊

Lovely people and excellent food. Children very welcome. Will definitely go again.

Be aware!!! This is a totally overpriced and hyped Indian restaurant. I ordered a meat dish that came with no sides and a glass of house wine and I paid a whopping 45 £ !!! And for some reason the prices of the ordered items did not even add up to this number but the server said they had to add 7£ for service!!! That is a total scam!!! The food was mediocre and same for the service and atmosphere. Nothing special for the high price!!!

Food was excellent, staff friendly and kind. We had an 18 month old with us and he was welcomed too. Lovely place to go for good food

The food is excellent and I would highly recommend. Ali is such a welcoming and friendly person who makes the experience a real pleasure. My son who usually does not enjoy curry loved the Korma and Ali recommended a curry I had never had before which was great!

We had a takeaway for a Birthday celebration and the food and service were fantastic. Would always recommend.

Fantastic helpful and friendly service tonight for our anniversary dinner. The food was full of flavour, and beautifully cooked. Highly recommend the vegetable dansak and coconut rice combination. Will definitely be back again.

I had already ordered a takeaway and then needed more food as my mother-in-law came round so rang them and they were able to add to our delivery and it still was on time. Food was great and very hot still when delivered.

Nowhere else in Didcot (or Oxfordshire!) compares to Kolkata. Best peshwari naan I’ve had, curries are always full of flavour. To top it off, they are such a friendly bunch and go the extra mile to ensure you have the best experience.

This is absolutely our favourite restaurant in Didcot! Every time we were there, all the staff are nothing but nice. The food tastes sublime whether we dine in or take out. This place immediately jumped to our mind when our friend came to visit from Canada. Highly recommended!

I have consistently had a great experience at Kolkate in Didcot! I have always enjoyed the food and service there, both when dining in and getting takeout. It's always a good sign when a restaurant can maintain high quality across different dining experiences. Despite the competition in the area, this restaurant stands out to me due to its consistently excellent food and the service makes it stand head and shoulders above the rest. Had another fantastic meal at Kolkata tonight 13/09/24 great experience as always, consistently good food and the level of service lifts it above the competition.

Was our first time visiting for a sit down meal. I couldn’t recommend the restaurant more. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Gave good recommendations on the food and all of the food was great! Will definitely be going back again!

A busy Saturday night in Kolkata! But we were well looked after, service friendly but not intrusive. Good atmosphere. We wanted to give 4.5 for food - only because my other half wished it was bigger rice portions! Highly recommend.

Food was excellent, plenty of it and very flavoursome. Service was beyond excellent, we felt really looked after.

We had a takeaway on Sunday evening, the food was top class, we loved the selection , Ali was very helpful with our choices You get what you pay for , maybe more expensive than other takeouts but the quality is 100% better ! Can’t wait for our next treat

Every time we dine at Kolkata, it’s an amazing experience. Ali and the staff are always incredibly welcoming, often going out of their way to make us feel at home by adding a little extra to our meals. The fact that Ali remembers us—especially our little boy 😉—says it all. You can clearly see how much he cares about his customers and goes above and beyond to make sure they want to return. The food is exceptional, and the staff is always happy to accommodate any requests or recommend a dish if you’re unsure what to order (for example like me). I highly recommend visiting Kolkata or at least ordering takeaway form there.

Best curry in didcot! Excellent service! Ali and his staff were so friendly and the Garlic Chicken he gave us to try was amazing. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Best curry we've had in ages. Ali and his staff looked after us and are so freindly, the service they give is spot on. All the dishes we had were so tasty especially Garlic Chicken he gave us to try, it was amazing. He even bagged up what we couldnt finish and gave us some extra to take home. Thank you for a lovely evening, We will definitely be back!

We are staying in a nearby hotel and decided to eat here due to the great reviews and good vegetarian options. Ali was a fantastic host and we really enjoyed the dishes he recommended. Lots of freshly cooked options and the portion sizes are very generous.

We were really looked after by the owner. Really tasty food with most things available vegetarian and very generous portions. Would recommend!
