"Hakka" cuisine was invented in the 1800s by Chinese immigrants in colonial India and has long been popular in India, and more recently it has been well-recieved in New York and New Jersey. Now, thanks to Mumbai Chopstix, it is Boston's turn to get acquainted with the unexpected and amazing flavors of "Indo-Chinese" fare. 

The restaurant itself is awe-inspiring –– it is comprised of three floors and a patio (with a total capacity of 100 patrons). Its decor is all original South Asian and oriental art, and the entire building is meticulously designed according to the principles of Feng Shui. A spirit of culinary adventerousness surrounds the entire enterprise; for example, Mumbai Chopstix has a limited time "Halloween menu" containing a number of pumpkin-based dishes.

Best of all, customers who come between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday can enjoy live sitar music while they eat. "People are surprised at how much they like Indo-Chinese food," one employee says. "It's all about the spices and herbs we use. Once they try the food, they come back with friends!"
