Are you thinking of tagging that friend now? Go on… There are restaurants where you go to eat. And then there are places like Manthan Songhai, where every meal feels like a trip back to old Calcutta. For over 75 years, this iconic Chinese restaurant in Central Kolkata has been serving the same comforting Indo-Chinese (Tangra-style) flavours that generations have grown up loving. Started by a Chinese lady decades ago, it’s one of those rare places where the recipes have stood the test of time. The moment you walk in, the glowing red lanterns, wooden tables and chairs, the old-school charm, and a chilled beer or cocktail in hand instantly transport you to a different era. Here’s everything we tried: 🥢 Chicken Lat Mai Kai: ₹410 🍤 Golden Fried Prawn: ₹510 🍗 Songhai Special Chicken: ₹464 🍜 Double Happiness Meifoon Noodles: ₹344 🐟 Songhai Special Fish: ₹832 🎍 Bamboo Chicken: ₹420 🍨 Tutti Frutti: ₹246 Some places don’t chase trends, they become traditions. And that’s exactly why Manthan Songhai continues to be one of Kolkata’s timeless gems. 📍 Manthan Songhai, 4/2A, Esplanade, Chowringhee North, Bow Barracks, Kolkata, West Bengal 700069 #KolkataFood #KolkataFoodie #ChineseFood #TangraStyle #IndoChinese
