Our Chili Chicken is the defining dish of Hakka Indo-Chinese cuisine — battered, deep-fried chicken tossed in a bold, tangy, and fiery sauce of soy, chili, garlic, and vinegar. A crowd-pleasing star of the Hakka menu at Taste of Hakka & Thakali Kitchen & Bar on Edmonton’s 118 Ave NW.
Chili Chicken is arguably the most iconic dish in Hakka Indo-Chinese cooking — a cuisine born when Chinese immigrants settled in India and fused their culinary traditions with local spices. At Taste of Hakka & Thakali Kitchen & Bar, tender chicken pieces are coated in a light batter and fried until irresistibly crispy, then tossed in a wok with sliced onions, green peppers, green chilies, garlic, and a signature sauce of soy, vinegar, and chili.
The result is a dish with an addictive contrast of textures — crispy outside, juicy within — and a flavour profile that is simultaneously tangy, spicy, savoury, and deeply satisfying. Served dry or semi-dry, Chili Chicken pairs perfectly with Hakka Noodles or fried rice for a complete Indo-Chinese meal. Available for dine-in, takeout, and online delivery across Edmonton.

“Open only one month, we have dined here twice. The food is amazing. It is great to order a variety of dishes from the Chinese, Indian and Nepalese selections and share. On both occasions, the noodle dishes were my favourite.”

“Experience was great and memorable. Owner and staff are so friendly with allergy awareness for dietary customers. Goat curry and rice is best. Great food and service.”

“I’ve eaten a lot of Indian food in Edmonton, but this is definitely my favourite. My first order was lamb curry with garlic naan. Generous chunks of lamb in a thick gravy — it was a treat. Great value, great food.”
