Sei Vui restaurant: A hidden gem in Kolkata's Tiretta Bazar

The 114-year-old building that now houses the Sei Vui restaurant on Black Burn Lane in Tiretta Bazar used to be a dormitory for people who came from China looking for work in erstwhile Calcutta.

In 2018, the century-old dormitory was turned into a restaurant in hopes of reusing the property to pay for its own upkeep.

The quaint exterior and the snazzy interior of the restaurant are distinctly contrasting.

The dimly lit corner of the restaurant can be an ideal spot for a romantic dining experience.

A plate of Cha Jang Mein Pork can easily lift up your spirits after a hectic day of work. If you try this dish you will weigh only Rs 190 less when you leave the eatery.

A plate of Sui Mai to satisfy your snacky cravings! Filled with chicken and black mushroom, this delectable dish costs Rs 250

A sumptuous platter of Kai Chee Wing Chicken definitely won’t burn a hole in your pocket but will leave your tummy smiling! This delicacy would pinch your pocket for Rs 250

Sei Vui’s manager Stephen will play the gracious host while you dine.

Yune Leong Futh Church is right next to the restaurant in the same building. Yune and Leong are the two deities worshipped in the church and Futh is Chinese for god. If you visit the temple, chances are your hunt for Chinese would end up in a spiritual experience!
