Back in the late 1800s, Chinese immigrants who were part of the Hakka community brought their food traditions to Kolkata. They didn’t just bring recipes; they brought a whole heritage of cooking that was rich in tradition and flavour.

When these immigrants settled in Kolkata, they started sharing their dishes with the locals. This was the beginning of a big change in Indian food. Over time, Hakka cuisine mixed with Indian tastes, creating something new and exciting.
