Trincas launched the Ming Room in 1982.

​

Ming Room was the first to introduce spicy Sichuan-style food to Kolkata.

At that time, Chinese cuisine in the city was mostly based on Cantonese cuisine.

​

Ming Room quickly became one of the most beloved and sought after Chinese restaurants in Kolkata

and is now considered the starting point of a food revolution that led by popular demand, to the “spicy-fication” of Chinese food in the city! 

Ming Room is very much a part of Kolkata’s culinary heritage.

Ming Room introduced classic dishes like the Chicken Drums of Heaven (crisply battered on the outside and steaming hot on the inside!);

Lamb in Hot Garlic Sauce (now a Kolkata favorite); and fiery Spicy Prawns.

 

It's USP was the special, superbly spicy, home-made chilli paste.

That same secret chilli paste recipe still makes the Chinese food at Trincas a standout and Ming Room one of Kolkata best Chinese restaurant

Today, Ming Room is a beautiful space lit by hanging red lanterns.

On one side, a red-canvas wall floats golden clouds, on the other side, a glass window separates Ming Room from Trincas.

From here you can watch all the goings-on in the main restaurant and still have a quiet, intimate dinner conversation at your table.

 

Ming Room is one of Kolkata’s favourite Chinese restaurants. 
We will warn you however: Beware of the potent chilli sauce!
