Orchid is a chineese restaurant located at Elgin and serves some of the best yet cheap Chinese food in town.
This are something we tried --
✓ Chicken momos - Their steam Momos we're good , but I would have expected the filling to be more in quantity . The Momo chutney
✓ Chicken pan fried Momo's - This tasted good with the garlic flavour infused in the pan fried sauce is something you must try.
✓ Fish barter fry in chili garlic sauce - This was a super hit dish with the perfect amount of crisp of the barter and the perfect amount of chili garlic sauce on it to tickle your tastebuds.
Overall the experience was pleasant. The interior was shady but was typical to the Info Chineese joints that started long back. Orchid is one of the four Tebetian and Chineese joints in Elgin and their food won't dissapoint you.

I tried:
1. mix chilli garlic noodles : very spicy, great taste, good quantity. If you are a spicy food Lover do try this. Highly recommended.
2. Mix hakka noodles : tastes great. Generous quantity. Loved this too.
3. Special Fish Fry : this is basically pan fried fish. Tastes great. Recommended.
4. Momos : Disappointed. I ordered Chicken steam momo and pan fried momo. The steam momo felt like veg momo though tastes great but there was hardly any chicken in the stuffing. Secondly the pan fried momo : highly disappointed. They didn't fry it at all. It was just steam momo in sauce. Not in fried sauce, just in sauce. You can understand this from the picture also. I liked the soup though.
Best Place for Momo lovers at cheap rates.. We tried Sauce momo just at Rs150.. must try✔ ..Ac resto and well-maintained ambience,☺ but the sitting area is bit small✌ Good for small hangouts💯😍
the crispy chicken is to die for i never tried this before and i loved soo much that i visited the place around 3times for the perfectly cooked crispy spicy chicken
This is a perfect place for some quick bites, situated right beside Momo Plaza. We ordered one thukpa and one gravy momo. I preferred the first one. This place is very pocket friendly as well.
Visited this place during the Christmas rush. However, it was surprisingly empty. The primary reason is the price. It's on the higher side. And frankly, it wasn't that well decorated.
Cell reception inside the restaurant is really poor. I saw a sign of free WIFI, but it didn't work. I was going to rate it badly, but then I got the food.
One plate of hakka chowmein was more than enough for two people. And the side dish (hong-kong chicken) had 10 pieces. The food tasted good. So, no complaints on that part.
The place is quite good .... The foods are veryyyyyyyyyyy tasty...I just love the chicken pakoras that they make over here ...just love the food !! The staff is also quite good but they are very slow ! Takes quite a lot of time to prepare the food....but the food is veryyy delicious !! But inside the restaurant there is no network😞....

Located beside Momo plaza, this is a small air-conditioned tibetan joint. The interior is warm and yellow. Coming to food, I ordered one Pork Thupka and fell in love with it. This one was very tasty and delectable unlike the usual clear thupkas found elsewhere and quite fulfilling. A must try if you like tanginess in your thupkas. Their momos are worth a try too.
This is one of the oldest restaurant in elgin. one should try their soups and momos only..momos are quite good but yes it is overpriced.. I tried Lung fung soup and it is one of their best items..and yes one part of the restaurant is under renovation. And i hope they will sort out the issues soon.

Once we used to visit this restaurant very frequently. Food was very good specially the thupka. Visited after a long time. Food taste has gone down badly. Staff was busy talking to someone over phone so loudly
Quality of starters is very good and the price is reasonable. But I'm not very satisfied with the test of main course and based on quality i think price is overrated. Overall good experience.
We went and tried mixed fried rice, Hong Kong pork and pork momo , the filling inside the momo could've been better. The pork dish was pretty good , the mixed fried rice was normal.

The renovated rejuvenated Orchid is 1000x better than its adjacent rival Momo Plaza. While Momo Plaza has deteriorated drastically, Orchid improved manifold. Both quantity and quality of food are commendable. Staff behavior good also. The owner is humble too.
Been visiting this place for the last 24 years. Consistently good local Chinese Food. Taste just hasn't changed in the last 24 years. And the pork momos are still to die for. Or take a life or two. Don't forget to try the accompanying soup with the momos.
Restaurant is very small but food quality is very good. Reasonable price.
Improvements can be made on packaging and quantity. Cuisine quality is mediocre.
Price is a bit high but the quality of food was very nice .. and atmosphere was very friendly..
tried haka chilli garlic..it was too "teekha" but loved it with chilli chicken
Quality is good, service is average, space is very tiny, ambience is average. Ac is not great... Momo is not so special
