    This is my 7th Visit. I must say that this cafe serves some of the best Indian Chinese cuisine at a good price considering the location. The atmosphere of the cafe is quite mesmerizing and cosy. However, the only issue here is the service as I felt that the service is pretty slow and the staff members such as waiters are not that active and are evidently less in number. Apart from the service, the ambience and the most important thing that is the Chinese food here is finger licking good. My rating - ⭐⭐⭐⭐/ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Address - P18/A, CIT Road, Ananda Palit Rd, Entally, Kolkata 700014 Cost per person - 700.

    Went there for 5th time. Their staff behaviour was very impressive. They serves delicious authentic Chinese dishes. All the dishes were pretty good. The quantity of every item is great as compared to the price. The only bad thing is they take a longer time to serve, but that's ok because of their food 😋

    One of my most favorite place. It's a small restaurant serving Chinese Cuisine. I just love all their items. The quantity of each and every item is great as compared to the prices. Only, they take a little longer time to prepare and serve. Rest is absolutely perfect. In frame - Mix hakka noodles, sweet and sour fish, Tutti fruiti and Blue Sky.

    Had experienced almost 4 yrs at CIT cafe. A excellent place for exclusive Chinese dining at CIT Road near entally, Kolkata. The excellent ambience of the restaurant is very eye catching. Every Chinese item starting from Starter, main dishes & lastly ice-creams are just unbeatable & extremely tasty. Specially wide varieties of Miffon, Shanghai chicken, hunan chicken, honey glazed chicken are extremely popular menu right here & are really mind blowing. A good place for family Chinese dining.. Highly recommended

  • 4/5 Md Adil S. 8 months ago on Google • 34 reviews
    We ordered Spicy Stir Fried Chicken and Cashew Nut for starters and for the main course Mixed Fried Rice with Crispy Fish in Lemon Coriander Sauce, with Fresh Lime Soda on the sides. I must say all the dishes were pretty good and the service was excellent tonight for a change, otherwise the service is always very average and the waiting time is long. The food there is always good, but if you are a food enthusiast like me then you will miss some kind of X factor in the food which can make it top class. Otherwise the ambiance and overall experience is nice

  • 5/5 Aparajita D. 3 years ago on Google
    CIT Cafe is one of the best Chinese cuisine restaurants in Kolkata (Entally) . A wonderful place to hang out with family & friends. And the tempting food items!!! They are just sooo delicious.. Cost for two : around ₹800 Quantity provided is a lot! The exclusive lunch and dinner combos are good options for having an amazing meal and they are served with awesome hospitality. You can have elating beverages and desserts also. Decor is minimal and good enough. One more good thing - Parking is not an issue. But during festive season and weekends, it is quite a busy place and there is almost a queue. Highly recommended for the reasonable price and good quantity of all dishes with awesome taste.

    The amount is A in all. One of my favorite foods is- Fried Chicken Wontons (8pcs ₹ 255) RuDrums of Heaven (6pcs ₹ 230) IxedMixed Gravy Noodle (₹ 230) HaiThai Chicken (8pcs 238) GarHot Garlic Fish (₹ 270) There will be no talk about food and quantity. So one day you can easily go out in search of a small holiday and after eating and drinking with pride, you can sniff and say Chinese noodles are our chowmein!

    The perfect place for hanging out if you're a student or on a budget, but hate to compromise on the quality of food. Don't let the name confuse you... This is actually a superb restaurant offering a wide variety of different items at a comfortable ambience and good hygiene. Opt from among honey glazed chicken and Caribbean drumsticks, chicken chowmein and chicken fried rice, hunan chicken and among others including several other vegetarian dishes.

  • 5/5 KRISHNENDU D. 10 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    Love this place..!! Must try - Chilli Garlic Rice, Chilli Chicken Gravy, Sliced Garlic Fish Fry, Pepper Chicken, Coriander Fish. But always Dine-in over here. On multiple occasions I have seen, after take-away or packing the food, the taste of the food is completely different. One of the best restaurants for Chinese food. The price at which they operate is their USP.

  • 4/5 Riya R. 7 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    CIT Cafe at Ananda Palit bus stop is a hidden gem! The ambience is simple, but what truly shines here is the incredibly affordable and delicious food. If you're a fan of Chinese cuisine, this is a must-visit. The only drawback is the slightly cramped space. Nevertheless, it's worth every penny for the fantastic flavors they serve up. Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Anisha A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place for Chinese food. Behavior of the staff is nice but only one problem is there which is the delay of serving food.

  • 4/5 Nafisha S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good but it seems a bit costlier than others if we consider taste! Employees are cooperative

  • 5/5 Veronica B. 10 months ago on Google
    CIT Cafe, is an easy, relaxed yet, an elegant place to hang out. If your looking for something Chinese and really good food within a budget. This is your place. It is so good, that had to visit again.

  • 5/5 Veronica B. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a Chinese dine-in and take away. Small place with G+1. Tables around 12, but food is very good and tasty. Must try!

  • 1/5 Unmisha R. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambience and service was just okay, bare minimum I can say. Don't go with the pictures because the food was absolute waste of money. We ordered fish schezwan and Singapore rice noodles. Singapore rice noodles was tasteless whereas the fish schezwan was completely spoiled. It had such foul smell and was 100% rotten. If you ever had to visit this restaurant I'd recommend you to never try these two dishes from this restaurant because you'll be disappointed like I was.

  • 3/5 Sayani Das G. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite an old Chinese joint, but food is a little better than just average. Three alarm firecracker chicken was really nice. But their fried rice or noodles were big disappointments. The most irritating part is their service. The waiters are more busy chatting and laughing within themselves rather than giving us service. We had to call them again and again for anything. Food they kept in their table but forgot to give us because they were so busy in gossiping. Not at all happy. Photos are #collected.

    I had already heard a lot about this place so it was on my wish list too. We visited the place with my family and with a friend who used to come there during his college days (15 years back). The perfect place for hanging out if you're a student or on a budget, but hate to compromise on the quality of food (personal experience of my friend). They are maintaining this for years and obviously this is one of the best place to try Chinese cuisine. We tried... Chicken Hot and Sour Soup Spicy Stir Fried Chicken and Cashew Nut Finger Cut Flakes Prawn Trestina General TSO's Chicken Stir Fried Fish with Green Beans in Oyster Sauce Believe me !! all are delicious..... A big thumbs up to them to maintain this year after years

  • 4/5 Afreen J. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered drums of heaven for starters and for the main course Mixed Fried Rice with Mongolian chicken , with Fresh soft drink and Humpty Dumpty shake on the sides. I must say all the dishes were pretty good , otherwise the service is always very average and the waiting time is too long but the ambiance and overall experience is nice...

  • 4/5 Rahul D. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was good, price is also reasonable but waiting time is high after the order. No checking for high temperature. But checking body temperature should be Mandatory. Also no hand wash basin in 1st floor and no sanitizer while entering.

  • 4/5 Debashish D. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place good food but few things are very expensive like for example for a small plate of onion salad they charged Rs.100/- n for a chicken pakoda in diced shape very thin around 8pcs in quantity they charged Rs.220/- .... Absolutely shocking .... Due to pandemic they have reduced their staffs due to which service was geting delayed but prices of food was same as earlier .... 1 can't carry on like this ....
