Here are the best restaurants in Kolkata for oriental cuisine deliveries. So kick your feet up and order your favourite sweet and sour goodies to your couch.
Best restaurants in Kolkata for Oriental cuisine deliveries –
Pings Café Orient
Pings was one of our favourite pre-pandemic haunts for a relaxed Asian meal and innovative cocktails. While we may miss sipping on their signature Midori Sour after a long day, we no longer have to go without their delicious dishes. Order in a bowl of steaming Pho Noodle Soup to beat the rainy day blues or try their versatile Drunken Noodles that you can pair with anything. We recommend adding some of their Homemade Sriracha with Burn Garlic and Ginger that’s also available online.

Pa Pa Ya
This contemporary Asian bistro is popular for its fusion take on Asian cuisine. If you are a Tapas fan, they have a wide selection. Try their Curry Leaf Peppered Calamari, which is deliciously crispy squid tossed with curry leaves and chilli. If you are in the mood for something different, try their Chili Chicken Shawarmaor choose from their extensive Sushi Selection.

BarBQ
The best thing about ordering in from Barbq is getting to skip the snaking queues that stretched right around the corner on weekends. Perhaps the most beloved place for Calcutta Chinese, this Park Street institution can meet all your comfort food cravings. You can’t go wrong with old favourites like Mixed Chowmein, Chilli Chicken, Sweet and Sour Vegetable or their famous Wonton Soup.

Chinoiserie
A delectable dining experience that was we miss is a meal at Chinoiserie at the Taj Bengal. To meet high home delivery demands, Taj Group has just launched a gourmet food delivery platform Qmin that exclusively delivers food from its restaurants. You will find all the old favourites such as Kung Pao Chicken and Prawns in Butter Garlic Sauce. They go the extra mile with contactless delivery and sustainable packaging, so go ahead and indulge yourself guilt-free.

Zen at The Park
Yet another place doing oriental cuisine deliveries in Kolkata. While it may be a while before we can grab a drink at their fabulous bar, we can certainly order in some sumptuous treats. They are well known for their Sushi and Dim Sum. However, their Crispy Duck is not to be missed, and their menu also features a wide selection of rice and noodle dishes in various preparations.
