Swati Chitalia Leading to Light
+5
This was our third visit to The Wall, Leela. That says it’s all as we love the food and the ambience. The service is also expectional.
This time, a new manager Mr Chetan More was there who was also very helpful.
The green flora and the soothing effect of the waterfall adds to the taste of the food.
We were so hungry that we forgot to click pics of the food 😄😄
This is was my fourth visit to The Great Wall and I am literally bereft of words for describing how good it was. The most mesmerising thing about the restaurant is its interior/decor; it has hardly changed since 1988 yet so elegant and the moment you walk in, you are transported to China. Light instrumental chinese music also adds to the experience with the burbling sound of the waterfall (always try to get a table near the waterfall). Nestled in the basement of Leela Mumbai, it is still probably the best places in town to catch a peaceful/wonderful lunch. This time I took the bigger set lunch (not the express one) and it was fantastic. Every dish had a thought of why it needs to be there and it tasted all authentic. The highlight was the Manchow Soup (the best I ever had) and Konjee Crispy Lamb. Unbelievably good. Dim Sums here are worth Million Dollars and I am not kidding. Try their Har Gow, Sui Mai and and Cripsy Prawn Cheung Fun and y’all believe it. It almost feels like you’re dining in a Michelin starred restaurant in Hong Kong/Singapore. The restaurant is 35 years old and has matured in a way to get things right by default. It was always blessed with talented mentors from London & Singapore and the food quantity remains consistent as well as high. Chef Milan Newton deserves a special praise. He’s been in The Great Wall since 1992 and is an expert of his craft. The Nair’s of The Leela Group are in no mood of letting him go anytime soon. Also giving a shoutout to Mr. Glenn for giving an amazing/entertaining service. He was always attentive and very respectful. There’s something about The Great Wall that is very appealing to me and I am somehow emotionally connected to it now. The restaurant has my loyalty forever!
We had an excellent dinner tonight. Dim Sum, Hakka noodles, mango puding and ice cream, very well prepared, served and delicious. Highly recommend.
Mr. Franklin and Mr. Suhas are super elegant and kind. They made our dinner very enjoyable. :)
Thank you!
