OUR STORY

Chowman is more than just a brand, it’s the passionate journey of a young musician-turned-entrepreneur who set out to uncover the idea of Neighborhood Fine Dining. Founded in 2010 by Debaditya Chaudhury, Chowman came to life from the love of rising Indo-Chinese flavors in the streets of Kolkata & a dream to bring fine dining in every neighborhood.

Debaditya Chaudhury, Managing Director of Chowman, also the founding member of the popular Bengali rock band Lakkhichhara, traveled across Asia, immersing himself in Chinese culture and food traditions. He imported spices, cutlery, authentic dish ideas, and cultural elements from China, Thailand, Japan, and Korea, ensuring that every dish at Chowman stayed true to its roots while offering a truly immersive Indo-Chinese dining experience.

Today, Chowman has grown into a benchmark for fine dining in India, with 36 outlets spread across cities like Kolkata, Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR , Hyderabad & Mumbai. With over 650 delicacies Chowman remains dedicated to sharing the true taste of Asian cuisine with an ever-expanding audience, blending the taste of Bengal to the flavors of Asia.

Today, Chowman stays true to its authentic flavors, with the goal of “Serving Happiness Nationwide.” The restaurant continues to expand, bringing the delicious taste of Indo-Chinese cuisine to people all over the country.

Debaditya’s perception of Chinese food is not just seeing it as a cuisine. It is the perfect blend of flavours coming to life. And for Debaditya, bringing those exotic flavours onto the plates was a mission. Debaditya did not want to serve food; he wanted to serve passion on plates. And that traces back to the birth of Chowman.

Today, after 14 years, Chowman lives in the hearts of every Chinese lover! Synonymous to all thing Chinese; Chowman now is East India’s No.1 brand in Chinese cuisine. With a wide array of over 675+  menu and an amazing plethora of Thai and other Pan-Asian delicacies Chowman has got over 36 outlets in Pan India (20 Kolkata, 8  in Bangalore, 4 in Delhi NCR , 2 in Hyderabad and 2 in Mumbai) But that’s not all to it!
