Indian Chinese cuisine, Sino-Indian cuisine, or Desi-Chinese cuisine is a distinct fusion culinary style that combines aspects of both Indian and Chinese foods and flavours. Indian cuisine reflects an thousands years of various groups and cultures interacting with the Indian subcontinent, leading to diversity of flavours and regional cuisines found in modern-day India.
The most popular origin story of the fusion food resides with the Chinese of Calcutta, who immigrated to British Raj India looking for work opening restaurant businesses in the area. These early Chinese food sellers adapted their culinary styles to suit the tastes of the Indians in order for Chinese food sellers to keep earning money from the Indians. Calcutta Chinese food was at one time the most famous and authentic in India. Some would go as far as saying that it (Calcutta Chinese food) is the Godfather of Indian Chinese.
The portions were generous and surprisingly, not spicy, at least for my taste. Place is casual but clean. Service was friendly.

My husband and I did not plan to visit any place to eat when we were around the area but we were both starving while running errands last weekend.

I only wanted to eat something that would bring warmth and comfort and I had no particular dish in mind.

My husband, being the better researcher between the 2 of us, found Calcutta Imperial Dragon Restaurant. This is close to Sharaf DG metro station. We got there a little after 12 pm; we were the first diners although we saw a couple tables reserved at 2pm.

While the interior design presented an old restaurants vibes to it; kind of like giving you the 80s vibes, it was spotless! I think it was the manager who welcomed us and ushered us to our table. There were several options to choose from on the menu so we went for a couple dishes that we felt were good to try based on the server’s feedback. We ordered fish and chose the one w with ginger sauce and veg noodles. I totally forgot the names and even forgot to take photos when they served us the dishes. ????
We agreed that we’d order more if we feel like eating more or if the servings wouldnt be enough. Surprisingly, the servings were generous, filling and more importantly, they brought warmth and comfort! Both dishes were tasty. We also ordered fresh carrot and orange juice drinks and asked for lots of ice. They were refreshing!
There were a couple servers at this time but we never experienced any delay in our orders considering there was another family who got there several minutes after we did. We paid close to 100Dhs for 2 pax which was worth it!
Thanks to the entire team for being welcoming and for serving good food! We’ll come back for sure, will try other dishes and take better photos. ????

Imperial Dragon is one of the older Desi-Chinese restaurants around. The restaurant has a very old school feel to it where it seems like you are back in the 90s as soon as you step foot in to the restaurant. Located in Mankhool, the restaurant is quite popular with the local desi community and is generally packed on the weekends.

We ordered Sliced Beef in Oyster Sauce, Mince Beef with Steamed Noodles and a side of Egg Fried Rice.

One thing that I found out of place is that you aren't served complimentary Prawn Crackers while you wait for your meal, as is the case in most similar restaurants. Unaware of this, we ended up ordering Prawn Crackers while we waited on our order.

The food is freshly prepared and can take some time. The food is on the spicier side so do take care when ordering. Everything tasted good and the portions served are easily good for two.

Nothing out of the ordinary but a restaurant surely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Excellence Indian Chinese
Its a Calcutta style Chinese
But its remind me of mumbai Chinese

They have a starter plater which get you 4 different types of course

Squid
Chicken lollipop
Chicken wonton fried
Veg spring rolls

The chicken manchow soup is awesome
If you have cold best soup to have served hot

The food is tasty and rates are affordable then other joins
Plus you get parking easily

And the food reminds you of india

A must try

All-time favorite food at Imperial Dragon, you will never go wrong with Drums of Heaven with sauce at the side, Manchurian Fish, Crispy Chilli Beef and Fried Rice

Three years back I used to regularly visit/ order from this place and loved it ! This time, I was shocked to see that the food tasted nothing like how it used to be. Ginger chicken, the chicken with Cashew Nuts with vegetables and the gravy noodles, all tasted the same!!! I was aghast to see such little quantity for the dishes with hardly any chicken in them. Felt totally disappointed with the quality of the food and spending AED 150 on this left a bad taste ! So if you want to have an overload of carbs with cornstarch sauce, please go ahead and order.

Imperial Dragon chinese restaurant, location 83 Al Mankhool Rd - Al Mankhool - opposite Jumbo in Bur dubai beside westzone . Yes they have free parking also accessible with the bus and metro. Hot and sour soup is good you can you can still adjust the flavor if you want little bit salty, schezwan fried rice and mixed fried rice really good ,paired with Peking duck, steam vegetables, mixed noodles ,seafood mixed , you will really taste the Chinese restaurant the savory in all the dishes. Good service as well the speed of service even all the order are made to order.
