Best Indian in Hong Kong (2026)

Hong Kong's Indian dining scene has grown up fast, and these two one-Michelin-star rooms show how far it's come from the curry-house stereotype. Chaat brings the swagger — bold, contemporary cooking that plays with the flavours of India's streets and royal kitchens alike, served in a room with real energy. New Punjab Club takes the opposite tack: a moody, old-school clubhouse take on Punjabi classics, all tandoor smoke and colonial-era romance. Together they cover the two poles of modern Indian fine dining in the city, and the fact that both hold stars says plenty about the kitchens behind them. This is a short list and we know it — the city's Indian food runs far deeper, from Chungking Mansions curry houses to serious regional specialists, and we'll be expanding it. For now, these are the two rooms we'd send a first-timer to for a special night out. Expect fine-dining prices, generous spice, and menus built for sharing. Order widely, pace yourself, and save room — the breads alone are worth the trip.
