Royal China Kolkata — Restaurant in Kolkata

Enjoy one of a kind Royal Asian dining at Royal China Kolkata . Located on the 3rd floor of the Forum Mall, near Rabindra Sadan, this fine dining restuarant is one of the luxurious restuarant in Kolkata serving Vegetarian and Non-vegetarian Pan Asian delicacies. The larger than life decoration and the crystal chandelier at the entrance takes your vision and breath away at the first glance. It's that beautiful. The service here is absolutely top notch and very classy. Here you will get an array of pan asian items starting from to unique dimsums to main course available in both Vegetarian and Non-vegetarian choices and ending with fantastic straight out of a dream desserts. I have tried various items from the menu. I am listing down my recommended items which are definitely a must have:-

DIMSUMS:- 🥟Turnip and Chive Chili Oil Dumpling (VEG) 🥟 Truffle, Water Chestnut and Sweet Pea Dumpling (VEG) 🥟 Lobster and Caviar Dumpling (NON-VEG) 🥟 Scallop Sui Mai Dumpling (NON-VEG) 🥟 Peking Duck Dumpling (NON-VEG) MUST TRY

MAINS:- 🍱 Pork and Broccoli in Oyester Sauce 🍱 Prawns served in Taro Nest 🍱 Cottage Cheese with Chili Oil 🍱 Spicy Aubergine, Okra and French Beans 🍱 Lamb and Broccoli in Oyester Sauce 🍱Edamame and Garlic Fried Rice 🍱 Vegetable Fried Rice with Sweet Corn and Asparagus.

All the above mentions dimsums are recommended but the Peking Duck Dumpling is a must try. The veg dimsums taste absolutely heavenly. The scallop sui mai tasted the best amongst the sea food variety. Coming to the mains, the preparation for pork and lamb are pretty much similar, the cottage cheese had a mixture of sweet and spicy taste and the prawn actually melted right in the mouth. All the mains paired amazing with the rice. The Edamame rice is a sticky rice FYI.

To end your meal my recommended desserts will be:- 🍮 Steamed Custard Buns

Price :- ₹1500 for two approx.

On an August 2023 weekend, decided to dine at Royal China, attracted by its regal ambiance. However, the grandeur of the decor didn't quite match the food quality.

Our order included:

Spare Pork Ribs in Black Pepper Sauce: Although the meat was tender, it had an off-putting fishy smell. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't live up to expectations.

Seafood Dumpling with Ginger and Chili Oil: While the taste was good, the portion size seemed disproportionate to the price. Three tiny pieces felt insufficient.

Roast Pork Cheung Fun: The sweetness of the roasted pork was overwhelming, and the texture of the noodle didn't quite hit the mark for Cheung Fun.

Flaming Prawn in Superior Sauce: On a positive note, the prawns were sizable, fresh, and had a delightful taste. Definitely worth a try.

Crabmeat and Egg White Fried Rice: Another dish that stood out positively, recommended for its taste.

We also tried some drinks:

Gimlet: A refreshing gin-based cocktail that was quite enjoyable.

Negroni: For those who don't appreciate strong, bitter tastes in drinks, like myself, this might not be the best choice due to its intense bitterness.

Salted Fresh Lime Soda.

We opted to pay using Zomato after booking through Easy Diner, which led to a bit of confusion during payment. There wasn't clear information about the incompatibility of discounts from both platforms, resulting in some back and forth. Although the issue was resolved after we paid back the amount discounted, it left a sour taste due to the lack of upfront clarity.

Despite the mixed experience, I believe it might have been an off day. I'm open to giving Royal China another chance to try different dishes in the future. Stay tuned for an...

Royal China a new addition to the Best in class Fine dine experience in kolkata. Royal china is located at Elgin, Forum Mall.

Coming to the Ambience it is beautifully decorated giving it a Royal look. It is a complete treat to your eyes. Personally I loved there interiors.and decor.

Royal China recently launched their Winter special menu where you can have a wide range of Chinese Delicacies along with Red or white Wine . They are providing Golden Sparrow wine in 1:1 basis.

Now coming to the food we tried:

We tried

There Cottage Cheese Dumplings Lobster and Caviar Dumplings , I loved there dumplings it had a fine outer layer with soft juicy stuffing inside, that tasted great . Along with this we also tried there Spicy Chicken bao.

Next we tried: Double roasted chili pork The sweet and Sour Prawn Prawn served in Taro Nest

The Pork was perfectly Roasted and cooked which gave the perfect combo of Meat and Spices .

On the other hand the Prawns were no less, Succulent prawns perfectly cooked in a combination of sauce to satisfy your taste buds

From the main course we tried :

Ho fun noodles with king soya. Edamame and Garlic Rice Truffle fried rice with scallops, egg white , spring onion.

We ended this brunch with Apple Pie and Cream Brulé

With mains equally as good as the starters you would definitely be confused as me to decide the winner.

Royal china has proved its class and will definitely make you crave for more and come back for its wonderful feast of flavours.

Cheers to the wonderful yet Royal Experience I had
