Best Chinese Restaurants in Kolkata

There has been an eternal bond between Kolkata and Chinese food since Chinese immigrants first set their feet on Hooghly, back in the late 18th century. They started to reside in Tangra - now known as ‘China Town’ - and thus began the legacy of the second most loved cuisine of Kolkata. When people of Kolkata get tired of eating Bengali food and Mughlai seems too rich a meal to be able to pay for, Chinese restaurant is the best option. Fried rice and chilli chicken is the lesser-known way to a Bengali’s heart – coupled up with few pints of beer and say hello to a crew of happy campers.

While the city is peppered with Chinese restaurants, it’s a task to handpick the best ones. Read the whole blog to find our mix of upscale, casual and hole-in-the-wall haunts that will make sure there’s something for every kind of Chinese aficionado in kolkata.
