Hotels like this one often promise culinary magic, but here’s the thing, Hyatt Regency New Delhi actually delivers. Enter The China Kitchen, the crowning jewel of its seven dining options and, let me tell you, this isn’t your standard ‘let’s order spring rolls and call it a day’ kind of place.
Over the years, this spot has solidified itself as my ultimate go-to place for Chinese food. It’s not just ‘good’, it’s ‘skip lunch because dinner will ruin you, in the best way’ kind of good. Right at the core of it all? A duck bar, because why not? Two Chinese chefs work their magic here, serving up proper Peking duck with that crackling, glistening skin that crunches like edible confetti.
See, the menu plays like a greatest hits album and a hot new single at the same time. Yes, you have your dependable dumplings, juicy little mouthfuls of joy. But then there’s the wok-fry chilli prawns, competing for your attention alongside clay-pot chicken and smoky belt noodles. Don’t even get me started on the sea bass in spicy black bean sauce, it’s like fireworks on a plate.
And the ambience? Semi-open kitchen, buzzing with action, contemporary chic décor, and a Peking duck oven that is out of the ordinary. This place doesn’t just serve food, it puts on a show.
And dessert seals the deal, mango coconut brûlée or just order the sampler platter? It’s indulgence with a flair for drama.
Open late enough to become your best late-night decision, The China Kitchen is where cravings meet (very high) expectations and win. Every. Single. Time.
