Londonโ€™s Indo-Chinese Feast, Reimagined.

Rooted in the bustling backstreets of Tangra, Kolkata and inspired by ancient Chinese dynasties, China Bistro UK brings you Indo-Chinese comfort food with bold flavours and a side of stories. From wok-tossed classics to dim sum baskets, every plate is a tribute to a time when good food meant family, laughter, and a touch of adventure.

WOK'D IN TRADITION. STIRRED IN INDIA.

At China Bistro, every dish tells a story older than dynasties โ€” a story of warriors guarding ancient recipes, migrants carrying flavours across oceans, and families gathering around hot woks and spiced broths.

Our journey begins in the 5000-year-old kitchens of ancient China, crosses borders to the vibrant lanes of Tangra in Kolkata โ€” Indiaโ€™s historic Chinatown โ€” and finds its next chapter here in London.

We call our cuisine Retro-Chinese โ€” a delicious revival of timeless recipes, smoky wok magic, and bold spices that once defined Indiaโ€™s original Chinese food culture. Think comforting chilli chicken, smoky noodles, vintage momos and nostalgic street eats โ€” served with warm hospitality and a dash of storytelling.

Our purpose is to bring people together over plates full of memories, flavour and conversation. To honour the past while serving the present. So, pull up a chair, share a story, and savour the adventure.
