They are extremely popular among Indians and have spread at a really fast pace in major Indian metropolitan cities like Bangalore, New Delhi, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Indo-Chinese food isn’t just served by fancy restaurants, but also by kiosks and food vans with imaginative names. Served piping hot, this cuisine dishes satisfy the hunger of an Indian spice lover.

The cuisine originated from Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) where the Hakka Chinese traders settled in the city in the late 1700s when it was the capital of the British Empire in India. At that time, Chinese immigrants were largely silk traders, carpenters, and leather tannery owners, and started cooking their food using local ingredients. Just like immigrants, Chinese settlers too adapted to their resident country’s practices, customs, and eating habits. And from here, a food fusion took off, with new restaurants coming in and around Kolkata to satisfy the demand for this foreign cuisine with a spice level like their own.
