Kolkata Cricket Club

Awarded a prestigious Chef’s Hat in 2025, Kolkata Cricket Club brings a bold and refined take on Indian cuisine to Crown Melbourne, led by acclaimed Australian-Indian chef Mischa Tropp, Gourmet Traveller’s ‘Best New Talent’ in 2024.

Known for his mastery of Bengali cuisine, Tropp serves up Melbourne’s finest butter chicken, alongside flame-grilled tandoori meats, seafood, and classic Indian dishes reimagined with elegance and flair.

Step into the Sports Bar, order a cold beer, and soak in the nostalgic charm of a bygone era—when India stood on the brink of independence and members-only sports clubs were a sophisticated social hub for those with a refined sensibility. 

Taking in the sweeping curve of the bar, guests can enjoy an aperitif of one of our signature cocktails or an ice-cold Kingfisher lager before being seated. Pull up a stool and watch the flames dance over charcoal-roasted meats and seafood, while chefs theatrically pluck hot naans from the Tandoor ovens. Catch a few overs on the screens and enjoy the vibrant energy of the space.

For a more elevated experience, reserve a table in the KCC Dining Room, where the vibe is moody yet sophisticated—beautifully adorned in lamps sourced from artisans in Jaipur, custom-made teak dining chairs, tables dressed in white linen, and premium Riedel glassware. Tropp’s menu showcases a sophisticated take on Indian classics, crafted with precision and passion.

Whether you're a couple seeking a stylish night out, a solo diner after great food and sport, or a group celebrating in style, Kolkata Cricket Club offers a unique blend of heritage, hospitality, and high-end dining—a truly unforgettable experience at Crown.
