Kolkata (Calcutta)


The decor is stylish, the vibe is laid-back, the service is friendly, and the food is both delicious and comforting. Part of Kolkata's new wave of Chinese eateries, this restaurant is a good spot for cheerful weekend meals. For the best bargain, order yourself a dumpling basket (veg/nonveg ₹695/795), and then put away an unlimited supply of yummy dumplings.
