Review Kafulok Restaurant - Kolkata (Calcutta)

Kafulok Bar & Restaurant is situated at 47, Govinda Khatick Road, South Road, Tangra, Kolkata. Just walking distance from Chinese Kali Mandir. This is run by a traditional Chinese in China Town, Tangra. This restaurant serves you authentic indo-tibetan food in much affordable prices. The ambiance is family friendly. We had Steamed Chicken Wantons, Chilli Garlic Pepper Chicken, Chicken Wanton Noodles, Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Lemon Chicken. I will not personally individually rate them. All of them were delicious and as expected. I will highly recommend to visit this place and not crowd over Beijing, Golden Joy and Big Boss. Over hype and over crowd are increasing their food prices. Tastes are more or less similar.

WOW...!! 1st time visite in Tangra Chinatown and this restaurant also. Food was excellent. I'm very happy to visite Kafulok. Must Visit friends.....

Had awesome lunch at this place, must try is golden fried dumplings, pork chili fry. The quantities are good and the quality of the food is best. Though I feel the soup is little bit blunt but hey everyone have their own liking. Best is to try and give your thoughts.

Excellent food... Authenticated Chinese food with mesmerizing flavour... Hidden gem

Food is great and service was fast. Fish cutlet was excellent.

Amazing food I ahs the spicy pork absolutely amazing then their signature dish It was world class then fish fried its was delicious with soy sause then the fried rice was also very good with gravy noodles it was just very good it was to die for the only issue was that there was ceiling leak with no coustmers except us

Loved the place. It may not be huge like the other big restaurants at China Town, but it makes up for that with the quality of the food. Everything was super delicious. We ordered very late, and till the end everything was completely fresh. Will definitely visit again.

Kafulok Bar & Restaurant, located at 47, Govinda Khatick Road, South Road, Tangra, Kolkata, is conveniently close to the Chinese Kali Mandir. Operated by a traditional Chinese team in China Town, Tangra, this restaurant offers authentic Indo-Tibetan cuisine at affordable prices. The family-friendly ambiance enhances the dining experience. During our visit, we enjoyed a variety of dishes, including Steamed Chicken Wantons, Chilli Garlic Pepper Chicken, Chicken Wanton Noodles, Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Lemon Chicken. While I won't provide individual ratings, each dish lived up to expectations and was delicious. I highly recommend visiting Kafulok Bar & Restaurant instead of opting for more crowded places like Beijing, Golden Joy, and Big Boss, where overhype and large crowds tend to increase food prices. The flavors at Kafulok are comparable, if not better, and the overall experience is delightful.

Excellent food - both quality and quantity wise. It seems they have recently renovated the interior which adds to the charm of this humble restaurant.

Pre order their pork belly before you visit since it takes time for them to braise it.

Hidden gem of China Town...very good behaviour of owner.. dishes were really tasty and we liked their dry chillie fish and prawn item very fresh, their own style of cooking. Especially who wants to have pork and want to feel amaze this place is ideal.

Kafulok is a hidden gem for unbelievably chinese dishes. They meticulously carry their own style of cooking. Especially who wants to have pork and want to feel amaze this place is ideal. Even the quality of meat is also superb. Service is also praise worthy and ambience is perfect for a lunch or dinner. A true gem in its own way.

Food was awesome... Priced very reasonably... Best items cooked by the owner chef himself as we were lucky to enjoy a curated menu

• Cozy ambience • Good food • Polite staff behavior • Wide range of alcohol available • Quality place to hang out

The quality of the food is just awesome..... specially there chicken drumstick 😋😋😋 behaviour is also very good

The food is really good. Especially the Boneless Chili Garlic Pepper Chicken. Must try! <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>

If Tangra, one of the more popular China Towns in Kolkata, developed my taste for authentic Chinese cuisines, it was Kafulok that further strengthened the love.<br/><br/>I remember the first time I went there with my parents when I was a kid, and was introduced to a fabulous variety of delicious Chinese dishes that tasted simply too good. This place is a stark contrast to a majority of the other Chinese joints all over the city, which serve mostly Indo-Chinese foods; every item on their menu speaks for itself in terms of quality, authenticity and a soulful touch.<br/><br/>The decor is apt for the location, and gives you a native feel as you sit back & munch into their all time popular Chilli Pork or the Mixed American Chopsuey.<br/><br/>A highly recommended place to go to with your friends, family or loved ones.

This is a very option if you are looking for authentic Chinese taste on a budget. The fried rice and lemon fish was just fantastic. Only disappointment was the noodles..

Ordered : Chilli Garlic Pepper Chicken and Mixed Fried Rice.<br/>Kafulok is pretty good amongst others in tangra. Hospitality is nice. Loved the experience . Do visit Kafulok once if you visit tangra for chinese

Nice and good food quality. Also pocket friendly. The thai soup was great. Chicken wonton was also delicious. So much cool place. And their service was much good.

This place was on my itinerary for quite some time.We had visited this joint last nightand had Chilli Garlic Pepper Fish,Fried Ginger Chicken,Chilli Garlic Prawn and Chilli Pork.The fish and prawn were exceptionally juicy and succulent,the chicken was very tender.The pork was also quite good.Would love to visit this place once again.

This is my first visit in China Town and this restaurant was totally outstanding. From there service to their ambience everything is top notch. We went there for a bday treat and ordered many items like:<br/>Chilli chicken boneless<br/>Chilli G/P chicken<br/>Crispy Chilli chicken<br/>Manchurian Chicken <br/>Pepper fish<br/>Chicken Chow<br/>Chicken Fried Rice<br/>Each and every item was delicious. Overall It was a nice visit.

Kafulok is located in china town near chinese kali temple. This place is hard to locate . This place is ideal for spending quality time with your partner. I like the decoration of this place . Kafulok is one of the oldest restaurants of china town , Tangra. It serves authentic yummy chinese food.<br/>In food , We had Masals fried chicken , Chicken steamed wonton , Chilli fish , cold drinks , Mixed fried rice & Manchurian chicken + Alcohol.<br/>Our bill was within 2k.<br/><br/>Overall Rating:<br/><br/>Food : 4/5<br/>Ambience: 4/5<br/>Service : 3.5/5 ( Inattentive staff)<br/>Budget friendly ( 100%)

A bit hard to locate but I quite liked the simplicity of the place.In food we had KAFULOK SOUP (recommended),PRAWN CHIPS, MIXED HAKKA NOODLES and SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN.Food was good in taste and quality.

It is located at the far end of China Town inside one of the alleys. We reached there at about 3.30pm and the place was empty. I was there with family we were escorted to the 1st floor as the ground floor had the bar. I liked the decoration of the place and it looked like a banquet hall. The round tables really caught my eye.<br/>We ordered mixed Thai soup for starters. It was quite good and had enough quantity. A medium soup was enough for 5 people.<br/>For maincourse we took Prawn Friedrice, Chicken Meifoon, Schzewan Fish and Chicken Manchurian. The rice was really good with good amount of prawn. The Chicken Meifoon was a bit dry for me and the taste was pretty average. The Manchurian Chicken was good but the Schzewan Fish lacked salt. Overall the dining experience was good.<br/>The thing that they should improve is their service. The staffs are really rude. They exhibit irritated facial expressions whenever we asked for anything. I had asked for water but it was not served even after 10mins. They were busy serving the others. I literally had to stop eating and sit idle to have some water. Really annoyed I drank water from my brothers glass. They provided water after maybe 10mins more. Service is not upto par.

This restraunt is a very lovely place to come with family.Tasty Chinese dishes(only) available.Good Ambience and friendly waiters are here.So come here and enjoy the best chinese food, have some drinks and enjoy your evening.

A very warmy place to dine out with your family.Authentic chinese restrurant with some indian cooking specimens.Manchurian chicken and mixed cantonese chowmein is a must try

The food was horrifying.. They are one of the oldest restaurants in kolkata but they fail to live up to the expectations..<br/><br/>The place is too dark and stingy to eat your food and it smells of alcohol..

Had ordered food at this restaurant. Food is really good and testy. Having a nice delivery package as well. Chicken wonton is really crispy and would recommend all to have this.

i order paper chicken,chicken wanton,gold fry prawn nd main course mix rice nd noddles hot garlic chicken nd one fish item not remember the name. Price r quiet cheap..but food quality and taste full off disappointment... Chicken piece r too small... fish r totally coated with cornflour.. jst lyk other road side restaurant. But other side i taste same price food in other restaurant they r very good as taste nd quality.. i never ever visit in this restaurant again

Hakka chow could have been better and mixed vegetable with chicken too,both the dishes not up to the mark Hope you will make the items better next time

Noodles in China Town are definately different than any other noodles in Kolkata. They are smoky from being tossed in the wok, yet soft and delicious. Same goes for the fried rice. We visited during the pujas, unfortuantely they were not serving the full menu during that time. Wish to come back again and taste items from the full menu.

One of the good chinese restaurant in Tangra. The ambiance is good. This place serves authentic delicious chinese.<br/>We ordered bunch of beers and whiskey with following foods..<br/><br/>Chili Pork - The taste was very good. One of the best dish here.<br/>Chili Fish - It was very good in taste.<br/>Chicken Rice Noodles - It was awesome. Quantity was huge.<br/>French Fries - Very good in taste.<br/>Kung Pao Chicken - Well cooked and Super tasty.<br/><br/>Food quality is very good and within budget. Food service is also good and the staffs are friendly. Overall it was a good experience.<br/><br/>Food - 4/5<br/>Ambiance - 3/5<br/>Service - 4/5<br/>Value for Money - 4/5

It was an online order, we ordered Vegetable Chowmein...got it on time. Chowmein was well cooked.... taste was yummy no doubt and quantity was good enough.Would like to place order again.<br/><br/>Being a lover of chinese food,again ordered chicken chowmein from kafulok and was super excited to have it. But little bit disappointed when saw in mixed chowmein the quantity of prawns and chickens is much less than anyother day, otherwise ok.

Tangra is the oldest place for Chinese in Kolkata and among the few restaurants with which this place started off , Kafulok is one of those oldest ones. This one may not be that famous because of its interior location and ordinary ambience but it serves authentic delicious chinese.<br/><br/>Few days back I went there with family again. We started with chicken hot and sour soup and thai soup, pepper chicken and golden fried prawns. The thai soup tasted perfect and the both the starters were great. For main course we took mixed meinfoon, mixed fried rice, schezwan fish and Kung pao Chicken. Well this place serves excellent meinfoon and like everytime I loved it. The sides dishes were yummy, tasted perfect with the right kind of flavours and spices.<br/><br/>Well though the food won our hearts service needs to be improved. The person who took our orders had little knowledge of their dishes, because when we told him to suggest a spicy dish he suggested the one which wasn't spicy at all. <br/><br/>Hence coming back solely for the food again!!

A family outing over a weekend here was a pleasant one.<br/>Food especially the prawn and fish staters was amazing.service time is longer but when its good food,worth the wait.

Tucked away in Tangra this is a little place that is easily missed. The service of the waiters is in line with the look of the and leaves a lot to be desired. What it lacks in looks and service it makes up for in quality and taste.<br/><br/>All the items we had were simply amazing. Chicken soup, crispy ginger chicken, baby corn, for starters and for the mains it was fried rice, mixed chow mein, king pao chicken , hot garlic fish and sweet and sour paneer. Each item was fantastic well prepared and tasty. It is a little expensive compared to its counterparts in the area but definitely worth a try and a repeat visit.

One of the oldest restaurants in China Town, Tangra this restaurant is made of sheer quality of taste. Indulge yourself in amazing cuisine where taste wins all the time. Ambience isn't something you are looking for here and is rather disappointing on that score. However what it lacks for ambience the amazing food makes up for it. Even the very simple noodles taste very different from other places and the prawn chips are something one could die for!

This was a classic when there were less chinese restaurants in the city. Over time their quality degraded. They used to specialize over crab dishes. Now they are not available. Recently visited this place during the pujas..i must say they loat their charm. We had ordered mein foon(rice noodles) ,fried rice and kafulok fish and kung pao chicken for mains. The side dishes did not have enough gravy. The fried rice was very ordinary. Mein foon was okay. We had also ordered ginger fried chicken and prawn fries and chicken corn soup for starters. Nothing was too fancy to be mention worthy. Very ordinary chinese food which can now be found in the simplest of restaurants in Kolkata. The staffs were cordial. And ambience is also good. But not coming for another visit.

Kafulok I have been visiting since my days at the college and I’m not sure maybe longer when we were children and our uncle used to come with his family and pick us the family up late at night when we would all drive down to a desolate Tangra in those days and to a house where we would climb to the first floor and wait for our food which was cooked by a Chinese Mama in her open kitchen below and sent up...I have a strange feeling this was here...and of course the food used to be incredible..!<br/><br/>Well Kafulok has been our haunt first with friends and then with the family since 1983...everyone has his/her favourite place in Tangra and ours is this place...the chicken wanton soup...the fried jumbo prawns...the fried chili chicken with bones with bits of chilies and garlic...the fried greens that is the bokchoy....the honey chicken...the mei foon and the steamed whole fish are our weaknesses here...we are regulars here and so we do get very good service too...<br/><br/>Love their freshly made dishes and their unique taste which I prefer to any other restaurant in this locality...if it’s very crowded the quality of service waivers slightly but still they try to look after us as best as they can....my family..my friends and I love this place...the ambience and the food...if I stay in Kolkata for a short time I will go once and if I stay for a month then I visit this place a minimum three times...I do wish they had the chimney soup in their menu which I love so much..hoping one day it will be introduced...<br/><br/>Love Kafulok and will go back to this place always ...

The food was really great and the service is superb. I especially enjoyed chilly baby corns, stir fried veggies and stir fried noodles! Excellent food for the price!

Went there to spend time with friends after college! It's a bit in the interiors of Tangra and for that maybe it's a bit underrated. Ordered Chilli Pork, Chicken Wantons and Chilli Potato. The chilli pork was definitely the stealer. Lean meat tossed in chilli soya gravy! This place serves one of the best pork in the city definitely. The cantons were nice but i felt stuffing could have been more, to me it was more of wanton sheet than the stuffing that came into my mouth. The chilli potato was nice and crispy ! It's definitely one of the best places for pork lovers. So do try their pork dishes. All in all it's a nice place with good ambiance unlike other tangra places. Booze is a bit on the costlier side but that's why the crowd is selective. Would love to recommend this place.

I am new to Kolkata. But heard about China Town so much .. and as I am from northeast... therefore was in real search of pork items. After lot of research, decided to come to this place. And am so happy I came here and got to eat the food out here . I must say , awesome food. Great ambience. and very well behaved staff. Planning to give a next visit soon . 😇

The place was very welcoming and friendly. The staff were courteous and polite. The food was of top quality and taste. The chef has magic in his hands. This place is a must try if you want to have a grand meal with lots of flavour. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I would be coming back again. Thank you for the great experience.

Used to come here 20-25 yrs back, food was ok then, the beers were more interesting at that age anyway. Ventured into this place again today with family. Deserted at 7:45 in the family section. A sleepy disinterested steward took our order. Soup was delicious.. As were the two starters we ordered. Asked for our bill... Took all of 30 mins.. Requested for an EDP machine, another 15 minutes. Luckily, had just enough cash in the wallet to cover the charges plus a tip of Rs.45/-<br/>Walked out in utter disgust, despite the good food.<br/>If the owners are reading this : "PLEASE SPRUCE UP YOUR SERVICE...ASAP...ALL YOUR EFFORT IN THE KITCHEN WILL GO TO WASTE OTHERWISE"

Have ordered Pepper Chicken, Chicken Wanton Soup, Egg Chicken Fried Rice and Dry Chilli Chicken. All the items were awesome in taste. Quality and quantity both were sufficient. Loved the ambience, the decor and the service. Staffs are very good in nature.<br/>Ambience : 4/5<br/>Food : 5/5<br/>Service : 5/5<br/>A must visit place for all chinese lovers.

one of the oldest restaurants in china town. once famous for the dry chilli chicken and chowmein . unlike any other in kolkata this simple recipe is too good to be true. cheap with large portions. will always be my fav in china town. golden joy, beijing, big boss r good but this one this love 😍

One of the hidden gems of China Town. This small little place serve mouth watering food with really cheap alcohol. Been there a few times now and have never been dissatisfied. <br/>We usually order the Golden fried prawns, chilli chicken, rice noodles and their soups. Will definitely recommend this place

We had a Facebook group get together at Kafulok in December. I have heard about the restaurant for many years as a iconic place in tyangra. This was my first visit.<br/>The ambience was a tired and interiors are oldy goldy. Clientele were only few. The upstairs seating arrangements were like a large hall with around 7-12 chairs around large round and long tables. The round table had a revolving plate on top which helped us to easily get the food around.<br/>The service was adequate and they tried to arrange everything which we demanded.<br/>Alcohol was reasonably priced. Food price is at par with local prices which is quite low I would say.<br/>The taste was rather pretty good. Pork items were my favourite. Also golden fried prawns and the whole fish. The noodles were not very special but decent and full of prawns and other items. The vegetables used were very fresh.<br/>Overall I liked it a lot. Though the approachways were very narrow and the bylanes were easy to miss in the night. The locality doesn't look hygienic but the she of China town is like that.<br/>But the food beats all of the negative thoughts.

Looks like North Korea when you enter it. They have good pork dishes on demand, meifoon and super cheap alcohol. Would request to call them before hand and order the pork dishes.

One of the hidden gems in Tangra is Kafulok. Taste of Tangra style Chinese food is unmatchable. Loved the steamed Bekti with Spring onions. Golden fried prawns were tasty. Although we were the only people dining on Wednesday afternoon, but I’m sure it’s busier during dinner. Also, the ambience is a bit run down, paint chipping off from the walls..

Update of 01 Jan 2018. Wanted to order dinner, I found the restaurant not available on Swiggy for today. I called and the gentleman who answered said they are normally closed on Mondays. Said he will speak with Swiggy to enable delivery for today, but Swiggy did not help, and he actually called me back to inform me. No one bothers so big brownie points. I went to the restaurant and everyone, from the parking guy to the order-taker to the counter person were polite and friendly. Much more so than most places. It was a very pleasant experience. As far as the food is concerned, the Chopsuey was a tad sweeter than last time, but both the Chicken Fried Rice and the Chilli Chicken were better than other Tangra outlets.<br/><br/>Increasing rating because of today's experience.<br/>----------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>I used to visit this restaurant many years back. I have recently ordered through Swiggy a couple of times. The second time, had a small simple order, of two Non-veg Chopsueys and a small portion of Chicken Sweet corn soup. The soup was not up to the mark. Did not have the fresh feeling I associate with sweet corn soups. I did leave it in its container over an hour before consuming, but I do not believe that was the reason for the not so great experience.<br/><br/>The Chopsuey on the other hand was better than what we have experienced at most other Tangra outlets. While the chicken was lacking in quantity, the noodles were crisp, and the sauce tangy without being over-sweet. A bit more of greens would have been nice.<br/><br/>Packaging was sufficient.

Had ordered chilli garlic pepper chicken, Mongolian chicken, lemon chicken, garlic sweet and sour chicken, mixed fried rice and hakka noodles. The food was okay kind off, nothing great. The quality of chicken was mixed, some hard and chewy and some soft.

A nice place to bring friends and family for some good Chinese food and drinks. There is space for parking outside and they have two floors with spacious seating capacity.

Horrible food. Horrible staff. China Town is no more a place good food. It is only for people who drink. <br/>The management specifically at Kafulok do not know how to behave with customers.

Went with a group of friends, on a Wednesday afternoon. We were the only customers in the whole place! Really terrible lighting but food, well, you get what you pay for. Good quantity, quality not so good. But it's pretty cheap too! We ordered pepper chicken as starters, then chicken fried rice along with Kung Pao Chicken and Lemon Chicken.<br/>Starter<br/>Pepper chicken: 20 big pieces of spicy chicken, goes well with their soups as well.<br/>Main course<br/>Rice: standard - in both quantity and quality.<br/>Kung Pao: felt like pieces of chicken just tossed in plain hot sauce, also, NO PEANUTS. Though pretty hot, it left a bland after-taste.<br/>Lemon chicken: was very good...something this place is known for! The crunchiness of the chicken will stay with you for a long time!<br/>The staff: courteous<br/>Concerns:<br/>The lighting: very poor! They could really add a bit more of lighting!<br/>The price: the place is pretty cheap for what is ofders. But the problem we had was that we followed them on Zomato and then went in. Zomato shows one menu/price while the restaurant has hiked the prices.<br/>It was not a very big deal but a place like that, they should update their info in places like Zomato. It can be confusing for others!<br/>Overall, not a very bad place but better enjoyed in the evening. Otherwise, as it happened with us, the staff will probably lurk around and give creepy looks! XD

It is the worst chinese restrurant in Tangra.<br/>Serving fried chicken as pepper chicken .After complaining the manager started a rude argument.<br/>Horrible food , overpriced .<br/>I will never ever visit this place.

Had my birthday dinner yesterday. It was worth visiting the place! We ordered for chicken drumsticks, chicken meifoon, chicken fried rice, Shezwan chicken, Kung pao chicken and orange juice. Lip smacking dishes indeed! <br/>Only Shezwan chicken was not up to the mark. It could have been a bit more spicy. Otherwise all other items were very satisfying. Would love to visit again 👍

Kafulok, Tangra, Kolkata: Tangra is a region in east Kolkata that traditionally housed a large number of tanneries owned by people of Hakka Chinese origin. "47 South Tangra Road", may be the most confusing postal address, as it used to cover the whole of Chinatown Tangra with over 350 tanneries. Most of the standing structures have been built, over many years, by the industrious Hakka Chinese, upon marshy and reclaimed low-lying land. Over the past several decades, it has served as the location of Calcutta's Chinatown. This is not a coincidence; the Hakka Chinese of Calcutta have gradually turned this part of the Kolkata into an important destination for sourcing finished and semi-finished leather. The Hakka Chinese specialized in the manufacture of leather and turned it into one of the major industries of West Bengal, providing employment to tens of thousands of local inhabitants.<br/><br/>Food from Tangra is a distinct variety of traditional Hakka Chinese cuisine adapted to Indian ingredients and the Bengali palate. This has spread to the rest of India, along with the recipes earlier unique to Tangra. Tangra is now the most popular destination for Chinese food. Chinese food sold in Tangra restaurants are now known all over the world as 'Hakka Style" Chinese food.<br/><br/> The success of "Hakka style" Chinese food in the rest of India encouraged a migration of many Chinese families to other cities as the economic fortunes of Tangra decayed. Many landmark Chinese eateries, including Nanking, Waldorf, Peiping and Fat Mama have closed or changed hands and fortunes. The once prosperous Calcutta Chinese community is now clearly in decline. However, a boom in Tangra's unique Indian-Chinese food is attracting a lot of attention these days and the cuisine will probably live on in Kolkata and in the global Indian Diaspora.<br/><br/>Being a bong and visiting Kolkata once or even twice a year will end up eating and hogging the same fare as every mashi ma and pishi ma will try to out beat each other in their delivery of typical Bangali khana and you end up, like me, NOT EVER visiting tangram that you so much get to hear. This time I made a resolve – No more Nemontrono or Lunch/dinner invitation, this visit will be dedicated to sampling superb bong food in restaurants and Chinese in Tangra. Finally years of wait has come to an end with my visit to Kufolok in Tangra.<br/><br/>Kufolok, owned by Mr Chen is the oldest restaurants in Tangra, Kolkata and this is why I specifically wished to dine out here.<br/><br/>After a deliberate search thru the by lanes of fortified Tangra, we locate the chimese restaurant Kufolok near the Chinese Kali Mandir. Once inside the glass doors you stop getting the acrid smell of Tanneries and your nasal buds are enchanted with the wonderful aroma of soya, stir fry and you can barely stop your mouth from watering.<br/><br/>The décor was Spartan and grey with not a single customer about except us. We were greeted by 2 bong chaps who possibly served as waiter cum manager. Typical scenario of owner not around, either in a business errand, or migrated to Canada or Australia.<br/><br/>We were Hungry and impatient to sample everything and all things Hakka Chinese in the limited time we had in our hands. So we ordered : one plate Steamed Chicken Chinese Wantons at Rs 160/- per plate and the taste was excellent and certainly had an edge over the Mainlands that we are so used to, then we ordered one Fish in black bean sauce at Rs 285/- per plate and this was good too. Then we ordered the Chilli Pork at Rs 350/- per plate which was the best Pork chilli I ever sampled in my life. Gluttony got the better of us and we ordered 2 plates of Meifoon noodles at Rs. 180/- per plate and one Garlic Sweet and Sour Prawns at Rs 725/- per plate, one Chinese greens ( Pok Choi) stir fried at Rs.150/- per plate. The Garlic Sweet and Sour prawns was huge for its size, sweet and fresh and the Garlic sweet n sour sauce excellent , though dry and devoid of much vegetables and the Chinese greens pok choi has a raw, crisp and succulent taste in its stir fried avatar whilst the Meifoon was awesome.<br/><br/>Honestly I have never eaten such an excellent Chinese meal in my life from east coast to the weast.<br/><br/>Absolutely Happy, satisfied and worried at the same time of the sustenance of the this lively joint. What with such less customers?<br/><br/> Ambience & Decor: Very Spartan, grey, perhaps a tad bit depressing, clean though not exactly spic and span.<br/><br/>Timings: 12:00 noon till 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm<br/><br/>Taste : Excellent , Superb and exotically Chinese- Hakka, atlast!<br/><br/>Variety People & menu: Elaborate but the manager who takes the order hates to Listen and will convince you utter rubbish.<br/><br/>Value for Money: Absolutely Cheap and plentiful.<br/><br/>Service: Good<br/><br/>Verdict: Kolkata citizens please this place visit again and again just to keep it afloat! It would be a pity if it closed!

Now-a-days with so many top notch Chinese, Thai and Oriental place opening up in Kolkata, people hardli visit Tangra. However is you are planning to visit Tangra, I would suggest trying Kafulok for a change rather than the old well known other places.<br/><br/>The food here was quite food and compared to the prices - I would say a complete winner.<br/>The chicken claer soup was one of the best I have tasted and obviously they had added a lot of genuine chicken stock. The gravy noodles was also rather good. <br/>The hakka noodles however was not balance properly and needed more salt.<br/>They serve house special sweet cilli sauce which tasted great!

I went last Sunday there . Ordered prawn chips, chiken wings, fried fish, chiken chow, chilly garlic prawn with whiskey. Food quality n quantity both r good. But they don't serve d drink properly. Decoration is neat n simple. There location is a little of beat so we didn't find that much of rush and needn't to wait. But if anyone planning for lunch hv to finish it within 4 p.m . As they closed d place n reopen at 6p.m

Visited kafulok after ages and it was a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The huge round tables reminded me of college days when we used to be regulars here. This time it was a school reunion and I was excited both for the food and the Adda. We ordered chilly garlic pepper chicken and fish. The taste was good but I found it very oily. Later we ordered chicken soup which had the typical China Town taste. The crispy noodles along with it enhanced the experience. The meinfoon noodles was very oily and I didn't enjoy it much. The lemon fish was excellent and the chicken gravy was kind of average. The prawn chips were equally oily. The service was good but I feel the food quality has degraded over the years. They need to improve to sustain repeat customers. The pricing is a bit less than a few other restaurants on the vicinity but the food quality really needs a check.

I simply love this place.<br/>I love everything about kafulok, its quite peaceful, reasonable price and the staffs are too good, love the food as well.<br/>Great place, one must visit here.

Tucked away inside a narrow side street in Tangra, this age old establishment has the best fried chicken wings in town. Come here for only the Thai soup and wings. Never fails to disappoint, even after all these years.

Mangolion chicken in starter is yummy. Good ambience and best Chinese food in China Town. Good service from the waiters. In afford able rates.

The food quality of kafulok is very good and it has a nice overall ambience.... The waiters are active and careful with quick serving time..... I just love the mixed veg that they make.... I would suggest everyone to try out the mixed veg. Its just awesome.

Went to kafulok for get together with friends.....the starters were crispy.....the batters were melting in the mouth. Prawns, fish items n chicken items tasted to perfection . loved their signature dish steamed bhetki.......loved chilli pork n meifoon too . prices are very reasonable,quite ambience. It's in south tangra n near kali bari.from now onwards kafulok shall be definitely in my list of restaurants where I visit for good food.

NOT GOING BACK! Ever! The food is of a mediocre quality but the prices? Ohoho.. For 8 teeny tiny pieces of prawn they're charging 800!! Yes. You read that right! The service is just not up to the mark! HIGHLY DISGUSTED by their prices! I would never ever recommend this place to anybody! NEVER.

Great homely ambience. Staff well mannered. Quality of food was extremely good. All time favourite. The main course is much better than the starters..Place is kept very clean at all times.

Went there for an office dinner party. I would say this is located very deep inside and was pretty isolated. Inside it was totally empty and only one table was occupied. The food was okayish and the drinks were chilled but must say that the service was bad. I mean they are not even good with what they are doing and cant even remember our orders. I didnt expect that they would even courteously give us a glass of water before asking for the order but am glad they did. The food was up to the mark but i would suggest they work on their service. Like work very hard. REALLY hard!

Vyvian Pote , Melanie Chen, Michael Lobo<br/> Have eaten much better Chinese food on Park Street. <br/>Company was great, beer was chilled, food was disappointing yet again. The soup was a tad too sour (hot & sour soup), the sweet and sour pork was too sweet, the pork wanton was yummy as was the mixed hakka noodles. The two chicken starters tasted the same - hot pepper garlic chicken & boneless chilli chicken. <br/>I believe I've been generous with a 2.5

Visited yesterday 4 lunch ..grt food..prawns were exotic 👌🏻..service was not bad..good place 4 Chinese cuisine.cantonese chow was perfect..chicken chilli was good but just a bit oily..

Excellent food and value for money place- 3 families- 9 people 6500/-. <br/>The above includes a few drinks as well. It isn't the easiest place to find in Tangra as it is one of the last ones- but certainly worth a visit!

Great authentic hakka cuisine with great ambience. Staff is really friendly and welcoming. Steam prawns are to die for.. if anyone is up for a taste of authentic hakka cuisine, try chicken ham choi steam rice. Must visit..🖒🖒

The place offers the old world charm that Kolkata is known for. Little low on the ambience which it very well makes up for with its well meaning staff, brilliant chefs and the art of cooking a perfect fish that has been passed down the generations. Ironical though it may seem coming from me, given my history with chillies, but the Chilli Pepper Garlic Fish is to die for. Their Pepper Chicken is good too. The portion of rice served is nice as well. Extra star for making my first Kolkata trip a memorable one. :)

Had been to this place on navami night for a few drinks and dinner...it's located quite far away from where the usual China Town restaurants are located close to evergreen and kim ling ..it was empty except ,just one table was occupied...we ordered beer and whiskey...btw a bottle of tuborg costs rs 280...and kingfisher strong was priced at rs 230..apart from this had ordered pepper chicken and noodles...quantity of pepper chicken was good 20pcs of boneless chicken..noodles too was up to the mark..but that stuck me was the poor service..the waiters were indifferent...we had to ask for water...it's not that it was super crowded and they could not attend to us..but I must say the behavior of the gate keeper was much much better than the waiters..moreover the waiters ask for tips..I hv been to better places in China Town itself and I'm surely not coming back here..the ratings are just on the basis of the food...

Oddly located but with the bonus of finding a place even on the busiest of nights. Food was okay, guess the quality was not that great due to the Puja Rush! But that is how a eatery should be judged. Delivering quality even in the toughest of time!Priyankadey01 Trisha Paul

I am a regular customer of this eatary since 1990 . Yesterday our family consist of four including one kid, went there for lunch and first time felt to be cheated . We ordered one chilli garlic pepper chicken full , two small bowl thai soup , one kungpao fish full , two kafulok gravy chow , one mixed fried rice . Taste of the foods were good , but the quantity and main ingredients were  much less in comparision to the other days . I was astonished after receiving the bill , it amounts INR 3123 with tax . In other days it's cost around INR 1700 . They hiked the price of all without any notice for 70 to 100 rupees per plate for Durga puja . It's just ridiculous , that this type of restaurent can overprice for Durga Puja . On inquiry it was found no other eatary at China Town overpriced during festive season . The management should stop cheating people like this . I am going to register a complain to appropriate authority against them .

One of the worst nightmareish experience one can have. Pricing of food and drinks are too expensive. Let me give you an idea, we bought a Bacardi white rum with an mrp of around 400 for around 1200 inclusive of taxes, the best part they don't provide even the complimentary snacks that even a road side dhaba provide with the drinks. Good Luck if u are still bent on visiting this place. :-)

A rare good spot to pick for chinese...authentic tangra style chinese...foods jus good....pocket catch is not so high....mixed meifoon n chilli garlic pepper chkn z jus a heavenly combo here wth a chill beer.....

We love this place for mainly for two reasons. It is not very crowded as this is not a overhyped place like its famous neighbours. And they serve some delicious items at a reasonable cost. The service is also fast. We have mostly tasted their chicken starters, which we liked a lot. Also the mixed gravy chow was delicious.

Odd location ... Located near Chinese kalibari .. interior was just wow ... orderd for 2 chicken & 1 Fish items & few drinks ... Food quantity :- 4/5 Food quality :- 3/5 ... Service was good & fast ... Waiters are well behaved .. wanna visit again & SOON <br/><br/>Thank q _/\_

Located in the bylane near Chinese kalibari. This one was a nice discovery. <br/>Pluses - <br/>1. Doesn't put a hole in your pocket. <br/>2. One of the best soups you'll have. <br/>3. Upper floor reserved for families. <br/>4. Dedicated parking. <br/><br/>Minuses - <br/>1. Parking is one way. You'd have to reverse all the way to exit the lane. <br/>2. I found the noodles low in salt. <br/>3. Garlic fish/chicken wasn't the one we saw in Zomato photos. Was very generic. <br/>4. Doesn't have sweet chilli sauce. <br/>

I am from tangra only. Chilli garlic paper fish of Kafulok is the best in china town.<br/>We ordered chilli garlic paper fish, chicken in black bean sauce, kung pau chicken, noodles

Lemon chicken and I would ditch Big Boss and Beijing for it. They make the best lemon chicken among all the other restaurants in China Town. <br/><br/>On my recent visits to this place, I tried out the Chilli Chicken and Pepper Chicken. They were good but not close to their much famous Lemon Chicken. <br/><br/>This place is much less crowded compared to Big Boss/Beijing. Decor is okayish. Portions are not large enough. So, order accordingly. <br/><br/>Oh yes, I would definitely visit this place for its Lemon Chicken.

Three years before this used to be a really nice place to dine but nowadays the quality is not at all up to the mark. This used be a really nice place but I was literally too much disappointed on my last visit. Neither my prawns was properly cooked nor the staff behavior.

First time in kafulok for dinner with the folks. The place is refreshingly less crowded than golden joy and Beijing our usual haunts . Upstairs is pleasant and sparse without the tacky wall decorations and red walls ala China town. Service was a bit slow mostly because the serves took ages to come by and took incorrect orders as a result of which we missed out on the prawns. The Thai soup, and crispy chilly baby corn was all good. The main has really tiny portions so order wisely. The mixed fried rice was good but the gravy noodles was out of the world. Best I have had in China town . It's priced pretty reasonably as well .

Heard a lot about this place and thus paid a visit.  We tried Pepper chicken in starters, Mixed Kafulok Chow ( both Hakka & Gravy) and Kung Pao chicken! Each and every dish was disappointing. The noodles were not properly boiled and were pretty ordinary in taste. The chicken side was extremely dry. And the starter was the worst of the lot. The pieces were tiny and it seemed they were not marinated properly. We hardly found pepper in it and had to add some! It was just a plate of improperly marinated chicken cubes deep fried in oil. I have never been as disappointed as I was this time around! and what made things worse was the price! It was a lot higher than ordinary Chinese restaurants serving much better quality food. I am never coming back here. People should avoid this place. An utter disgrace to the famous CHINA TOWN!!

The ambiance was ok, the service was good, but the was food didn't lived up to its mark. The pepper chicken was the worst, even local take away counter give better food. They are no match to the food served by beijing or big boss. The chow was hard. the fish was good.

I Loved the food here... we have been here twice just for the chicken wings!!<br/>It is a simple place unlike the commercial feel of other bigger restaurants in Tangra. It also has more authentic food. Its reasonable and has a biggish hall. each table seats quite a few guests so big groups can really get anough spcae to enjoy their meal.<br/> I expect to visit again soon!

This place did not live upto the expectations. Its nowhere near the standard of Beijing, Kim Ling or Big Boss. <br/><br/>STARTERS: We had ordered thai soup and chicken drumsticks for starters. The soup was bland and watery. The thickness of the broth was surely missing. The drumsticks tasted ordinary, lacking the CHINA TOWN touch.<br/><br/>MAIN COURSE: For the main course there were mixed cantonese noodles, chicken hakka noodles, fried rice and garlic chicken. The chicken tasted too sweet(as if it was stirred with sweet tomato sauce only) with a slight hint of garlic.<br/>Cantonese noodles was not good either. The only dish that was tolerable was the mixed friedrice. <br/><br/>After such an experience, I am not at all interested to write about the interiors or the service because at the end of the day, its FOOD that matters.

Horrible food..they cannot even get a chicken sweet corn soup right...chilli chicken without capsicum...there were blood stains in the chicken...they are trying to make their own kind of chinese...and they are doing a horrible...please ban this place

Another favorite restaurant in Tangra with awesome delicacies. I have tried many restaurants in China town but no other can beat Kafulok on the following preparations:-<br/>1. Dry Chilli Chicken<br/>2. Chilli Mushroom<br/>3. Chilli Babycorn<br/>4. Cantonese Style Gravy Chow<br/><br/>Although I don't try veg dishes in China town, but I can't resist to have Chilli mushroom and babycorn in Kafulok. Even the mushroom haters ordered a second plate.<br/>The gravy chow has very little gravy, unlike the other versions and is very tasty.<br/>The waiters in Kafulok are very courteous as well. The location is little bit awkward but is near to the Chinese Kalibari.

Chinatown is famous for Chinese food and this place is my favourite amongst all. The best thing here is the dry chilli chicken. You just can not get enough of it.

Before leaving Kolkata for an extended period my heart craved for some Tangra special foods and since I have heard so much about this place, decided to give it a try.. The location might be a nightmare for non-regulars to China Town, still I guess locating Chinese kalibari won't be much of an issue and this place was located just close to it..<br/>Coming to the decor, contrary to the popular beliefs most of the eateries in this area has actually revamped their decors and ambiance and you can't differentiate them from any posh eateries in Park Street..Same goes for kafulok is well.. Service was only to the point of being decent and apt..Coming to the food, we tasted:<br/>Fried Chicken: It was as usual, crisp, deep fried chicken cubes, taste better only still hot..<br/>Chilli Garlic Pepper Fish: Probably I never missed this dish in any of my visits to China Town..Tasted good here as well..but seasoning could have been better..<br/>Chilli Prawn: Fresh, cooked tiger prawns, pan-fried in a tangy, spicy sauce.. tasted apt with drinks..<br/>Mixed Hakka Noodles: A bit too oily, also the protein content was low..<br/>Fish in Hot Garlic Sauce: Nicely done..balanced in flavours..tasted more like Basa fish..the gravy was a bit too thick..overall nothing extraordinary but not bad either..<br/>On the whole I would say it was a decent enough venture but given my superlative experiences in places like KimLing or Golden Joy, I don't think I have a reason to go back to this place again.. Our total cheque comes to approx Rs. 3500(all incl) for 6 people..<br/>Food: 3.5/5<br/>Pricing: 3/5<br/>Service: 3/5<br/>Ambiance: 3.5/5

china town ka shaan kafulok..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Located in the interiors of china town<br/><br/>A very basic and staple chinatown decor <br/><br/>Once it was my favourite wen it made the best haka and cantonese noodles and the best dry chilli chicken in town <br/><br/>Over the years the quality and quantity have gone down and the price has increased<br/><br/>The maintenance is poor and the ambience has also gone down<br/><br/>But surely it still serves good chinese

If you want to drink and dont want it to pinch your pocket then kafulok is a good place to visit and starters they serve are good. Specially their prawn chips.

I hd went 2 ds plce uncountable tym... this plce serves bst chinse in tangra... i spcly love d chickn thai soup and prawn chps... nd all othr food are equly tasty... servce iz vry gd

One of the best restaurants of chinta town(tangra)<br/>Food quality is good<br/>Waiters are cordial.<br/>Price is a bit high.<br/>Waiting time for food is long.<br/>

Okay so this chinese jpint is located a bit interior from the main road. Its one of the most popular places though. I have come to this place for the last 10 years now and food is awesome . Please try the chilli pepper garlic chicken, starter, its absolutely delicious and also the cantonese noodles is yummy.

Well, I would not waste much of urs neither my time to go thru a long review. Kafulok is a place inside china town area which is in a hell lot of interior position inside tangra, I believe its probably the most interior place inside china town with good food and ambience. Definitely its worth a place to try good chinese cuisines. However, few points I would like to highlight are -<br/>1. Prawn papad shouldn't be such oily, u have to take care of the image mahnn...<br/>2. Garlic pepper chicken is not that good, u should try to make it better<br/>3. Chilli fish was truly awesome<br/><br/>Overall, A nice place to be inside china town within a manageable amount!!<br/><br/>Try their chicken starters whatever u want!!

One of the oldest and underrated places in Tangra , China town.Decent ambience, good food and moderate price. Thats kafulok in a nut shell. Oh! If you happen to visit, dont forget to try their lemon chicken.Its simple awesome. :)

Finding the place was a big issue as it is situated quite on the insides of tangra. The decor won't impress on much and you may be tired by the time you reach this place but the food here is good. If you say non spicy - they realise what you mean. Never judge a Book by its cover and don't judge this restaurant by the way your eyes perceive it. It's good. It can be much much better !

Have been to this place sometime back,, been there with my family , and ordered chinese cuisine.We were 4 in total.We ordered chilli chicken,chicken fried rice in main course and in starter we ordered fish finger and chicken drumstick.Last but not the least we ordered a litchi juice,a apple juice and 2 vanilla ice cream.The service here is really good. The decor and ambiance is really impressive .Overall it is a nice place with reasonable price.

Kabulok is a restaurant that my family has been going to since I was a little kid. The food quality and taste is "the best". Whenever we feel like it's a Chinese day we go there and only there. I love their soups and starters. Nobody does it better.

A nice decent place tucked away from the other diners in an alley off the corner of the Chinese Kali mandir.<br/>There is nothing much to say about the ambience!! :(<br/>But the food was quite good.<br/>Ratings:<br/>Food: 7.5/10<br/>Value for money: 7.5/10<br/><br/>P.S: The noodles, meifoon & rice sections are quite average. But the starter & main course chicken section does make their score.<br/><br/>The kung pao chicken, honey chicken & ginger-garlic-chilly fry chicken is a must try.<br/><br/>And if you don't like spicy side dish, try the Cantonese chicken with the spicy halka chow.... A wonderful combi..

This place one of my favorite restaurants whenever I'm in China Town. The service here is really good. Staff is very well behaved. Food was well prepared and tasted really good. Both the food and booze were at reasonable prices. A must go when one visits China Town. Mohona Sen

A little difficult to spot but the ambience, food & atmosphere is wonderful!! Food, to be precise, is average. Neither good nor bad. Food is not 1bit spicy but yet, is good, even the schezwan chicken!! The place is different and is recommended, especially the lemon chicken, one of the best I've ever had!

This restaurant is located at the fag end, deep down Chinatown,near the Chinatown Kalibari,it's better to ask around if u are visiting for the first time since it can b easily missed. This is one of the most popular restaurant of Chinatown with a dedicated following of its own who swear by their name. The ambience here is great,though when we visited there was a Chinese party going on so it was a little loud. We had Chicken Drumsticks, Masala Fried Chicken for starters.Both were nicely cooked and good in taste. Then we ordered mixed Fried rice,and Kung pao chicken from the main course section ( we were almost full from the starters itself!), the mixed rice was a little let down but the Kung pao chicken made up for it,with just the perfect blend of hot and sour gravy. Overall it's a nice place,with reasonably priced food. Recommended.

Its a little difficult to find this place as it is in a narrow lane in Tangra, but the food is good and the service was prompt. Not too many people on a Friday evening worked to our advantage. We ordered chicken drumsticks, gravy chow, mixed fried rice and Chili chicken. All the items tasted good and we really enjoyed our dinner.

Had wanted to visit china town since long but it didn't really turn up the way I had expected. Anyway that's my problem! :) coming to kafulok, the entrance wouldn't give you any idea whats inside. There is a big ground floor but there was no one. So went upstairs. There also was no one apart from the waiters. :D Odd timing maybe. The decor and ambiance is really impressive but the food didn't keep up with that well. The pepper chicken was a disappointment. It was some tiny pieces of fried chicken. The meifoon was better. Tried garlic wanton noodles. It was ok..very blunt taste. Drinks are cheap. Souvik Kundu
