When you think of Chinatowns, cities like San Francisco, Bangkok, or London often come to mind. However, Kolkata, a vibrant metropolis in India, has been home to a thriving Chinese community since the 18th century. This diverse city is also the birthplace of Indo-Chinese cuisine, which traces its roots back to Hakka Chinese traders who settled there in the late 1700s, when Kolkata was still the capital of the British Empire in India. Over time, this cultural fusion led to the creation of a unique culinary tradition that blends Chinese techniques with the bold, flavoursome spices that define Indian cuisine, as well as elements from wider Oriental food traditions.

To indulge your cravings for this distinct and tantalising food, the newly launched Hakka Garden promises an authentic culinary experience, offering an Indian interpretation of  Chinese dishes, infused with traditional Oriental influences. With recipes crafted by renowned international Indo-Chinese chefs, the restaurant brings to life the rich, savoury flavours of this innovative cuisine.
