Chinese food from India? Definitely! We specialize in Indo-Chinese Cuisine. It is unique Chinese cooking that has evolved from years of living in India by the Hakka Chinese people. In the early 1900s, the Hakka Chinese migrated from Meixian-Guangdong Province, China, to Kolkata, India, to escape opium warfare and other political issues. It is in India that the Hakka Chinese were introduced to the vibrant tastes of traditional Indian cooking. Through the years, the Hakka Chinese have adopted and embraced a love for eating spicy and aromatic foods. The food is a unique blend that brings together the best of Chinese wok style cooking and fragrant Indian ingredients. Hakka Wok is proud to serve the best in Indo-Chinese cuisine that has, over the years, become synonymous with Hakka cuisine.
