Loved this place a lot ❤️ Amzing atmosphere and Amzing menu , Service is Very nice , Had this Amzing Dishes with Friends , Affordable prices , Schezwan Noodles and Delicious Paneer Crispy. Everyone should Visit this wonderful place.

China garden is one of the best indo-chinese joint not only in Mulund but maybe one of the best in Mumbai. This is an extremely underrated joint. I’m going to this place since 15 years I guess since the outlet was at vaishali nagar. This is now located at cypress. This is one of the very few restaurants or shops in cypress which are still there and haven’t closed.

Ambience
This is the only demerit of this place. It has no ambience at all. It’s just like a roadside joint having 6 tables. But the taste is so good that this can still be ignored.

Food

Well I’ve literally tried the whole menu, so obviously can’t write about every dish. But I’ll mention the ones which are THE BEST. Well this will still be quite a huge list.

Soups

Manchow soup
I know its a very basic kinda thing to order. But the thing which makes the difference is the shredded chicken. Yes, the soup is topped which handful of shredded chicken, which makes it different from the rest joints. Majority of chinese joints put fried chicken, which has no chicken in it but only the coating of maida or corn flour, just to increase the quantity.

Lung fung
This is another great one to try. It is topped with sort of egg white. It is beaten egg white I feel, but looks like a cloud and tastes good too.

Starters

Chicken satay
This is one of the finest chicken starters I’ve ever had anywhere. Traditionally, satay is an Indonesian starter, which is served with peanut sauce. But here, its served in an indo-chinese style and has a schezwan garlic sort of sauce which is amazing. It has 6 pieces of fried chicken in a tooth pick like skewers, and served with the sauce topped on it.

Fish finger
Again, this fish fingers is better than any other I’ve ever had. They are mouth melting. So soft and fresh, would surely recommend this one.

Chicken/ paneer hot garlic
This is basically fried chicken topped with garlic and schezwan. If you like garlic, you’ll love this one.

Chicken/ paneer in red chilly sauce
If you like it spicy, go for it.

Chicken in white pepper sauce
This has loads and loads of garlic and the taste is just delicious. (Brown colour)

Chicken/ paneer hong kong
This is a tangy starter which is tossed in schezwan sauce. If you’re looking for something spicy, go for it. (Red colour)

Chicken in black bean sauce
This one had the masala more over like the chilly chicken, except it is without capsicum. The taste was brilliant.

Fish in dragon sauce (red colour)
The masala is similar to what we get in the chicken crispy. But the same in fish, is just heaven.

Main course
All the above mentioned dishes, can be either served dry or in gravy. I’ve always ordered dry because we get the gravy along with rice so no need to order it separately.

Rice with gravy
1)Naning rice
This is exceptional. I’ve been eating this since so long, and I’ve tried almost all the restaurants in mulund and many in Mumbai, but never had something like this. I just can’t explain the taste, but it’s something different, not like other restaurants who just give fancy names but serve the same thing.

2)China garden special rice
Special means it should be distinct from others. The rest chinese joints just serve a gravy and call it special. But here special is really exceptional , something distinctive. It is just the normal fried rice topped with an orange thick gravy. The taste is sweet. Yes you heard it right, sweet taste in fried rice? Well that’s why it’s special. I like food spicy, especially talking about chinese? Definitely should be spicy!!But this, even after being sweet, is irresistible.

2)Chilli garlic rice
This dish is basically fried rice WITH CHILLY CHICKEN. So if you order both of them separately it would cost you around ₹400. But if you order this dish you’ll get the same thing, but only at ₹260. It is a steal!!

3)Shanghai rice
This is schezwan fried rice topped with a green coloured gravy. The taste is just luscious!!

4)TNT rice
This is schezwan fried rice served with gravy. But this dish serves the maximum quantity of chicken along with the fried rice. It had as many as 10 pieces.

5)Tiranga rice
It is a 3 coloured rice served with gravy but the main highlight of this dish is the quantity. It is more than enough.

6)American chop suey
This is basically fried noodles topped with sweet gravy and an omelette. I’ve tried it at many places but I like it only from here. The consistency and taste is just perfect.

Pricing
The pricing is pretty decent. Starters and rice with gravy , both are around ₹200-250. One of the best things is the fried noodles and schezwan chutney. The schezwan chutney is one of the best I’ve ever had, the consistency is the same since so many years. It is free untill the 2nd time, after that it would be charged.

Overall experience
Well I’d say if its summers, go for home delivery. But if its winter or the climate is cool, I’d say dining would be better. The food is so good that the ambience doesn’t matter. The delivery is super fast but, and the service too. The food is super awesome, this is one of the most underrated food joints in Mulund.
