Eau Chew - Kolkata (Calcutta)

This was my first visit to Eau Chew. Absolutely loved the calm atmosphere.The food was awesome.We ordered Josephine's noodle,Eau Chew special fried rice,Schezwaan chicken and fish.They gave the actual betki in the fish item.The serenity of the place won our hearts.On a Sunday evening never imagined such a calm place in Kolkata.

Eau Chew is probably the oldest chinese restaurant in town, and it's surviving so long. We had a visit in the evening, it was completely vacant though that time. As the offices go off, the crowd starts to join here for the very famous Josephine Chimney soup or noodles. The pork dishes are really yummy. This place is cost effective too. The ambience is very calm, service is pretty fast.

It's an authentic Chinese restaurant... They have their own style of preparation that will give a vibe of true Chinese cuisine... Noodles and schezwan chicken were awesome... Price is slightly high...<br/ <br/ Note: they don't accept any card or you payment. They accept only cash.

What is meaning of authenticate Chinese dish today I have understood after reaching to this place. The place is not well decor or there is no high quality dishes are served they only serve the purest Chinese food which is actually less spicy. The phrase'never judge a book by its cover' actually true for this because by seeing the place you may be think that it can't be full fill your taste buds but give them a chance honestly they will not disappoint you. Okay so I had ordered1.chimney soup-this is the dish which serve very rearly in kolkata. I think only this place serve this till now. This is basically a broth with your choiceable meats and eggs, prawns, veggies. It's there speciality so if you come here please try this. But if you are 4-5 people then I think you should order it because it came in a very large quality.2.eau cheu special fried rice-actual fried rice should have a charocoal flavour which this rice had. And also its served with a water poach which took my heart.3.eau chew special meifoon-as we know that meifoon means rice noodles so the noodles was also very good and so soft and thin that it's just awesome.for side dishes we had ordered4. Sweet and sour fish-for side dish you have n option of taking half plate or full plate. So I took half plate of this fish. The fish was no doubt original vetki because the fish had all the flavor of vetki. The fish was fried with a coating but still the fish was so fresh full of flavour and also juicey. The veggies which are added to that dish were just tossed on flame and put on the dish that's why they were also adding there flavors to that dish.5.szechwan chicken-all other Chinese restro serve this dish with lots of red colour that's why many people avoid this dish but here there Funda is different they serve this dish as hot as other restro but they use szechwan pepper instead of any chillis or red sauce or any red colour. That's the actual centre of attraction of this dish. The chicken was also cooked crispy outside juicey inside.There main moto is to serve the lightest food. I like to eat the spicy food but this restro took my heart by serving this kind of food. Their foods are really very different from any other Chinese restro. I am highly recommending this place to everyone please come and enjoy some old authentic Chinese dishes in Kolkata. This place is a hidden gem.

Loved this place, not only for the honest food, but also for the experience.<br/ <br/ A small place bigger than a hole in the wall, not advertising beyond a lighted signboard, distinguished only by their food, a lineage of a hundred years and multiple generations, and a dogged decision to stick to good chinese food and resist the Indian influences what can be more romantic than that.<br/ <br/ The food was superb, subtly spiced and delicious. Liked the dedication of the third generation to persist with this even though they have alternatives.<br/ <br/ But it may not hurt to move with the times. Smaller portions lower priced would help us try out more options. Helping the customers with advice on the different dishes would too.
