What a fine dine when you are in mood of Chinese or Thai food. Been here twice in a month now, on different days of the week, so can comment on the service, quality, quantity.
Weekend dinners are usually crowded so would recommend you to make a reservation before you go. When I went on a Friday evening, people were waiting. I had made the reservation from the google "reserve a table" option.
Talking about the service part: It's exceptional. Food was served quickly, staff was quick to change plates between starters and main course and staff was there to serve each dish and welcomed every feedback.
Talking about quality, the dishes I have tried chicken dishes only. Fresh and juicy chicken. Unable to remember the dishes by name. Will update the review next time I visit.
Quantity: For two people you can feel satisfied with one starter, one main course dish (chicken + Noodles of your choice).
Price point: Without drinks, We got a bill of 900 for two people which I would say is pretty affordable.
Mainland China is my go to place for Chinese cuisine in Tricity. They serve spectacular Chinese food at affordable prices. The ambiance of the place is very welcoming and the staff is friendly and attentive. The seating arrangements are comfortable and spacious, providing privacy for each table. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained.
The "Ginger Pineapple mocktail" was refreshing and had a perfect blend of ginger and pineapple flavors. The "Eight Treasure Chicken soup" was flavorful and had generous portions of chicken and vegetables. The " Basil Flavored Vegetables dimsums" were steaming hot, delicious, and had a perfect blend of spices and herbs.
The highlight of the meal was the "Mango pudding" , which was creamy and had the perfect amount of sweetness. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.
Overall, Mainland China is a must-visit restaurant for anyone who loves Chinese cuisine. The quality of the food, the ambiance, and the service make it a great dining experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy delicious Chinese food in a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
After placing the regional food of Calcutta on the Culinary map of India, Oh! Calcutta made its way to the gourmet city of Chandigarh.
The restaurant is located in the same building of Mainland China in Sector 26, Chandigarh.
While the different flavours of other regions of India were always present in some form or the other throughout the country, it was the vision of Chef-turned-leading Indian restaurateur Anjan Chatterjee, who strongly believed that the unique flavours of a 300-year-old cuisine needed to be explored.
I visited them a few days ago to try out some of their specialities. The best part was the usage of authentic, sourced ingredients from West Bengal. I started off my lunch with their Banana Floret Tikki, Prawn Cutlet and Calcutta mustard paneer tikka.
All the items were top notch. My personal pick had to be their Prawn cutlet. The patty was super flavourful and juicy. Next up, for mains, I had their Slow cooked Bhuna mutton, Prawn and coconut malai curry, Kolkata chicken biryani and Mango mustard okra.
The mutton was the show stopper of the afternoon. I had never tried such amazing mutton in Chandigarh so far. The spice level was quite moderate and the mutton quality used was spot on.
Pair it up with the Luchi or Bengali version of a poori and you will up for a treat certainly. The prawn and coconut malai curry was another glorious dish which had a very nice flavor of the coconut milk and gondhoraj lemon. Highly recommended.
The Mango mustard okra was another dish that stood out of the menu. Very interesting taste.
To end things on a sweet note, I had their Steamed mango mishti doi and steamed sondesh. My pick had to be their steamed mango mishti doi with chopped mangoes on the top. The tanginess of the doi was evenly cut with the sweetness of the mango.
Overall, I would be visiting them over yet again to try out their Mutton and prawn cutlet. Happy eating.
After a good foot and Head massage felt really hungry so found this place nearby in Sector 26. Cool ambience. Welcoming reception. Great host to serve and guide you in choosing the food. Food was really great, tasty and delicious. Good portion sizes. Selection of drinks is good. Bal krishan and Abhi served with a smile and spirit of excellence. Enjoyed our afternoon meal thoroughly.
Ambience is good. Since Cost is high you will only find classy people. A1 sensible family crowd. Authentic chinese. Preparation is great. Drink n Menu options are exhaustive.
Chinese Cuisine At It's Best !!!!!
Visited Mainland China after years galore. However, the experience was as delightful, as ot was on my first rendevous with this Chinese Hub. Relished a galore of dishes which were all flavoured to the Core. A brief on what all I gulped down :-
1. Jiangs Chilli Chicken - Forget the Jiangs & its your typical Chilli Chicken which is indeed full of flavours & would suit any taste bud. The right spices blended together to make that perfect Chilli Chicken which you would always Crave For. Order this & you wouldn't go wrong with it.
2. Chicken Taipei - Crispy chicken served with crunchy veggies with a peculiar taste. It was great.
3. Fish Pepper Garlic - The fish tasted quite fresh. Extremely delicious. Liked the 3Ts - Texture, Taste & Tender. Awesome dish.
4. Singapore Chilli Prawns - I have the love for Prawns. Tried this one & didn't regret a bit. Super flavours there. Prawns seemed of good quality. Loved them.
5. Chilli Garlic Noodles - Medium Spicy. Not much of chillies & garlic there as I was expecting it to be. This dish could have been better, but it was still decent enough.
The portion size was pretty adequate. The two of us had our fill & were still left with loads of food which we had to pack.
Overall I must try place to lunch or dine in. Loved it & strongly recommended.
Regards
Great food, good ambiance, courteous staff is all u can say about the place. The buffet they serve is with msg and the menu food can be prepared without msg. The food taste is awesome especially the eight treasure soup, star fried rice, dim sums, lettuce wraps, lamb in black pepper sauce and general tso’s chicken. Although the place requires renovation but overall a good experience.
One of the best Chinese restaurants in Chandigarh.we had been there many times.all the stuffs are too good. Try drums of heaven. You can try bengoli cuisine also there in oh Calcutta
nch | ₹1,600–1,800

The ambience of Mainland China is mesmerising and it gives totally Asian vibes (well, of course). The food is amazing and worth a try! We had Crab Chicken and Dragon Chilli Fish along with Rice and 2 Noodles and it was sufficient for 5 people.
The crab was delicious and so was the Chilli Fish.
It was all very spicy just the way we love it! You can ask the dishes to be less spicy as well.
The manager was kind to us too and very generous. The washroom was clean and hygienic. There is also a Bar with Live Music in the Basement and we could hear the Singer's voice from where we were seated, on the ground floor.
We didn't try the Buffet there but it seemed really beautiful and mouth watering! Pre-booking is preferred there as it's almost always packed!
A place to go for Asian food lovers!
