Review The Great Wall - Mumbai

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!

It setting and ambience of the restaurant was fantastic and the services given is perfectly good. The best will be the food the taste was matching or even better than the actual chinese restaurant. It was mesmerising and if you are given a choice its a definite return

Million Dollar Dim Sums, fantastic Chinese decor, non/intrusive courteous service and worth every penny. My favourite place in all of Mumbai for indulging in Pan Asian delicacies (especially dimsums). You honestly feel like you’re dining in a coveted Michelin starred asian restaurant in Hong Kong or London. The table near the waterfall is a beauty in itself. Its the best if judged overall. Special shoutout to Chef Milan Newton & Servers Rushikesh & Glenn for making my dining experience worthwhile.

The Great Wall, The Leela Mumbai's traditional Chinese restaurant is a great place to enjoy authentic Chinese in luxurious surroundings. Try and get a table near the water fountain which lends an instant feel of calmness while dining. there are lot of photo opportunities around the restaurant and the bar is impressive as well. the restaurant serves delicious Chinese delicacies and often there are specials like the express lunch that can be enjoyed by patrons. evening dining is more laid back and romantic but try booking a table. Valet parking is available. The service is attentive, good and non intrusive.

The place serves the usual Chinese fare though the food is very good. I do wish that there would be some variety in the menu - given the fine dining experience! It is heart breaking to pay the higher prices for the same truffle and edamame dumplings which have now become a staple fare in all Chinese restaurants. Also, the place was deserted on a weekend - not a great sign though we have been there a few times and would definitely head there again. A shoutout to Mr. Menezes who has been with the place for 30+ years and makes the guests feel really special.

If you want a taste of authentic Chinese cuisine's, this place is a must visit ! Certainly one of our favorite restaurants in town .

One of the finest Chinese restaurants I have ever been too. The decor is so appropriate and appealing and when you pair that with amazing service plus high quality food, that is what you ever need. This hidden gem should rise back to popularity again. The dim sums especially were absolutely 11/10. Recommending it to everyone...

Amazing surrounding ambience. Good and supportive staff. Wide swimming pool near calm garden area surrounded by beautiful decorated trees. Near to metro station and Mumbai Airport.

Absolutely one of my fav Chinese restaurants by a long shot. Little Pricey and portions are designed more for tasting vs family style sharing - so make sure you order appropriately in a group setting. Authentic flavors - try out the dumplings!

This place its just Perfect. The manager is so professional and so good that he makes you feel great all the team. As soon as you need more water, you have more water, another spoon, another dish, everything is cleaned up so good. Went there twice as we were hosted at The Leela hotel, and it was probably one of the best restaurants we had in India so far, even tho Indian food is outstanding, we felt like this Chinese restaurant was a mixture between Chinese and Indian which made it even more impressive. Tasted so many different dishes, but If i had to choose something, any kind of prawns were just great. Moreover the lobster and the crab were great. Strongly recommend it and i will be back next time in hosted at The Leela for sure.

Had a superb time at The leela

I enjoyed my meal.The prawn dish and the noodles were to my expectations. The service was very good and the staff very attentive.

Most amazing selection of starters and deserts... The main course was sumptuous.. It is a perfect place for a family gathering..

Great place and good food ... Amazing Location

The décor was good, the service was good, courteous staff, quick service, very polite and prompt, but the food was just about average. Not the food you would expect to be in a 5star property.<br/>We ordered for starters, deep fried curd bean with spicy sauce, truffle and edamame dim sum (which we felt like wasn't cooked properly). The mains had very limited options for vegetarians. We ordered enoki mushroom with black pepper sauce, braised potato in spicy sauce along with garlic fried rice. The dessert was chocolate hazelnut tart (the only veg option available) and that too was just about ok.<br/><br/>Cost for 2-3000

One of the Best Chinese Food I Ever Had. I will recommend Every Chinese Food Lover to try at least once

I'm honestly quite surprised to discover that this restaurant doesn't have a higher rating. I'd stayed at the Leela in December of last year, and my fiance and I had a memorable experience at both restaurants .Our table here overlooked a waterfall, and it's almost like the restaurant is nestled in a Chinese fable of some sort. Despite the pleasant ambience, I hadn't expected anything to write home about, as most Asian restaurants in Mumbai (or in India, for that matter) will assuage the Indian palate in some way, compromising on the cuisine's authenticity. Not that I've ever been to China or anything, but everything we ordered off the menu was excellent. Particularly memorable was the sweet and sour pork (delicious!). I've been a vegetarian for a number of years now, but this was one item that I could not resist after sampling it. While we were ordering items on the main course, the server was even sweet enough to advise us that we might be ordering too much for a table of two. All in all, this is the kind of experience that one would want to have at a five star restaurant.

Average food! Ambience is undoubtedly nice but food quality is just average. Seeing the price you pay you would expect more. Tried veg wonton soup clear which was bland totally, mushroom dumplings are average in taste. Egg hakka noodles were good and veg gravy was again average. The only good tasting dish was mango pudding with ice cream. <br/>Overall an average food experience in a great ambience.

Amazing food!<br/><br/>I went to The Great Wall on a weekend with my husband and had a really nice time. The ambience is good, very quiet and peaceful. We felt that the service could have been a bit better. Overall a good experience 👌<br/><br/>We had ordered spring rolls and assorted dimsums - perfect taste and sauces :)<br/><br/>For the mains, we had ordered garlic fried rice and braised potato in spicy garlic sauce.

I have only two words for this place ‘GEM’ and ‘EXCEPTIONAL’. The food at Great Wall is something to be tried not written about ....it’s truly superb. Ambience soothing understated luxury....Service a benchmark in their own right. The staff made my quiet New Years dinner with my family a truly memorable experience while they weren’t with theirs. I truly thank all the staff for taking such great care of us and the chefs for tantalising our taste buds.

We had a super table by the waterfall. Made me feel at peace. <br/><br/>Very good service. <br/><br/>Amazing food. <br/><br/>Saturday lunch was not as busy as only 4 tables were occupied. <br/><br/>Will definetly come again

A genuine treat to your taste buds, the restaurant serves Chinese cuisine with utmost genuinity the staff is very hospitable , food is awesomely lip smacking

Had an official dinner , for a Delhiwala the food was pleasantly not CHINJABI, the Peaking Duck Roast is only second to Hyatt China White, good pricing, great service , amazing poultry and fish. For me the Duck made my day, there are very few people who do it well and this is one of them. Only if they could skin it live and rolled it up in front , would have loved to have some extra veggies under the crepes.

Loved this place, luxury meets Chinese food. Soups and dim sum basket is must try here. Five spice rice spring roll in main course and kung pao is tasteful Courteous staff gives you feel better comfortable seating luxury ambiance with glimpses of the Great Wall of china.

Went here to celebrate my birthday at The great wall and I realised that it was a mistake. We were asked to place the order as soon as we were seated because they were closing, the staff forgot to ask us if we were allergic to any food or have any food preference, he served us in a hurry without asking us even once if we liked the food, and said again that they were closing so we finish our meal soon, asked for a recommendation and it dint look like he was interested. My husband asked if there was a cake since it was my birthday and they said its chargeable, even a small tiny cake would make a difference.<br/>The staff was not interested in entertaining us wee fairly rude while talking to us , to top it the restaurant had mosquitoes.<br/><br/>The valet team either was not bothered to collect the coupon and acting busy, finally when we followed up our coupon was collected.<br/><br/>Sorry to say to The Leela, I had a very unpleasant experience and a bad lunch on my Birthday. Nothing 5 star about it and a sheer waste of time and money.

Outstanding service marvellous food the chefs M Sasikumar and M Narayan and the manager mr Kamalesh Singh and the staff Mr Umed and mr Bhupendra were very polite, helpful and cooperative. Since we attended for a birthday they served us complimentary and the food which we ordered was amazing konjee crispy lamb, lantern chicken and chicken with spring onions was amazing.

I just love the food here and have been to this place a couple of times now. <br/><br/>But, here goes the reason I am giving a 2 star review. I was here to meet my brother and his friend who had booked a room in the Royal suite. We had made a table reservation for 2 O clock. They were traveling from Germany and their flight was delayed by a few hours due to which we were very late. My wife and I reached the restaurant by 2:30 PM (while my brother and his friend were changing) and learnt that the kitchen closes by 2:45. However, restaurant was VERY polite in conveying the message that the chef had to leave and come back by 7 again and requested us to order everything quickly and we did. We ordered soup, appetizers and main course all at once. The soup was ready pretty quickly, however, my brother was still not at the table and we requested the waiter to hold on for a few minutes. He obliged. But, a few minutes later we saw the chef outside the kitchen yelling at the waiter right in front of us “teen starter hai aur teen main course hai, mei kya chaar baje tak yehi pe ruk jau” which translates to “they have 3 starters and 3 main course items, should I sit back till 4”. <br/><br/>This is not something you would expect at a 5-star restaurant. <br/><br/>However, I have no complaints with the food.

Had dinner at the Great Wall with office colleagues . First thing to strike me up was the ambience which was supercool . The food was awesome as well however the service could have been a little faster . But all in all a good experience <br/>Cheers

Fork licking good combined with amazing hospitality makes the a compelling reason for one to go have a lunch over there at man made natural beauty site in the right in the middle of the city ! <br/>Dumplings was excellent the crystal one the noodles and rice and gravy was also excellent and the dessert was also excellent <br/>The food quality and quantity is excellent <br/>Service 5/5<br/>Food 5/5<br/>Ambience 5/5

Had been to Leela couplenof times, this was the first time to dine at The Great Wall. Food was great, Thanks to Mr Kamlesh Singh who recommended some good lip smacking dishes . Also thanks to Mr Singh for the courtesy extended.<br/>

Fantastic place, very good ambience, professionally qualified staff and very decent, I was there for a small business meeting and I loved their food, simple but very elegant.

The Great Wall is a fine dining restaurant located inside The Leela , Mumbai near the international airport . I visited this restaurant for lunch last month . They were having the China XO pop up event . This review is based on the experience I had at this restaurant .<br/><br/>      Ambience : 4/5 - The Leela has hands down one of the most beautiful interiors of any hotel in the city . The Great Wall is located in the basement of this hotel . The seating was nice and comfortable . There is a glass window on one side with greenery outside which feels nice .<br/><br/>      Service : 5/5 - Service was great when I visited . The servers and managers did their job well . I have no complaints regarding service .<br/><br/>      Food : 4/5 - I was specially here because I wanted to try the China XO pop up event so I ordered their special menu for the occasion . The dimsums were very nice . The baked chicken puff was the best . For the main course I was served Fish in XO sauce and duck fried rice . The fish tasted very nice and the sauce was amazing . The duck fried rice was wonderful and had a unique taste to it . For dessert I was served honey noodles and ice cream . If I have one thing to critique I was disappointed with the quantity of food . I think a menu designed for one person should be fullfilling and this was not . I think the managers and chef should note this while designing the menu .<br/><br/>     Overall I had a very pleasant meal at The Great Wall and will surely visit again .

Fork licking good combined with amazing hospitality makes a compelling reason for one to go and have lunch at man-made natural beauty site right in the middle of the city! Dumplings - both crystal and shitake musrooms, sweet corn soup are amazing items. I would rate their soups and starters above their main course (which is also very good). Mango dessert, one could do away with, aint something out of the world..!!

We went in for the set menu, which included a choice of soup starters main course and deserts. <br/>Was it good....Yes Sir; I mean the soup was tasty and spicy, the chili oils were the bomb...choked twice on it. <br/>The noodle portion were great, I had my noodles with crispy fired lamb and it was absolutely delightful. The desert too was amazing. <br/>In all, a delightful experience, my only regret was asking for bottled water instead of tap water. It’s one of the most expensive bottled water I’ve ever paid for, a mistake I will never repeat again

Nice ambience and nice place to spend your leisure time...The crew was friendly and the food was up to the mark.<br/>Will look forward the enjoy the plush experience of The Great Wall very soon..<br/>

I went to The Great Wall at The Leela for lunch. We ordered for the business lunch. The business lunch menu looked simple and attractive. We were served a soup, a dimsum, mains + staples and a dessert.<br/><br/>The interiors are quite old school and took me back in time. The view from the window showing the landscaping felt soothing and calm.<br/><br/>Soup: The Great Wall Sichuan Hot and Sour Soup<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>This soup looked comforting and yummy. It is a hot and sour soup topped primarily with shredded chicken and mushrooms. The soup tasted weird. The stock had an overwhelming flavor of mushrooms than the chicken. The chicken felt like it was just there for texture. The soup had the perfect hit of heat but lacked the sourness which was barely noticeable. Overall a disappointing start to the meal.<br/><br/>Appetizer (Dimsum): Har Gow<br/>--------------------------------------------<br/><br/>These looked like a million bucks. They had a lovely shape and texture. The dough was thin and light. It emphasized the prawns, which were cooked beautifully. I wish there was something exciting with the dimsum sauces served by the side instead of the conventional fare. That could have elevated the dish to another level. Take nothing away from the dimsums though.<br/><br/>Mains: Konjee Crispy Lamb<br/>---------------------------------------<br/><br/>The chef nailed the texture which is the key element of the dish. It was crispy and yet there was enough meat in the bite sized pieces to not make the meat to feel dry. I would have loved the dish to have that extra toss of the spring onions to get that zing. But somehow this dish for me, doesn't fit with the mains + staples combo. It was too dry with both the noodles and rice. They probably should have tossed it in a sauce which pairs with the staples.<br/><br/>The noodles tasted fresh but was more firm and chewy than your al dente pasta.<br/><br/>Dessert: Chilled Cream of Mango with sago pearl, pomelo and lime sorbet <br/>------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Visually, the way this dish was presented and in terms of texture was a joke. It was a runny cream of Mango with sago pearls on top. It looked like a lazy runny mango custard I do at home. The cream however, had a wonderful flavor of the mango. There was no lime sorbet served alongside like it was written in the menu which could have added something in terms of texture but flavor wise the sour and sweet combo of the mango handled. A good dish but surely not restaurant quality.<br/><br/>The service was brilliant. The food was flying and the staff was great. <br/><br/>In the end, although I had a lovely experience due to the service and ambiance, none of the dishes tasted top notch except for the dimsums. I would go with 3 out of 5 for The Great Wall at The Leela. Grand Entrance and great service with food letting those down.

Great restaurant!<br/>Great ambience and great decorations as expected amazing!<br/>Service impeccable as usual!<br/>Really liked the hot garlic sauce vegs with Noodles.

We had heard a great deal of the the Great Wall and decided to go there for dinner<br/><br/>The good <br/>The ambience was great , the restaurant has a good layout so that there is enough distance between tables and diners allowing some level of privacy ; the waterfall outside with its lotus flowers is very calming and soothing <br/><br/>Initially the service was great and attentive yet not obtrusive<br/><br/>We ordered our drinks and 3 starters<br/>We were a little disappointed that all the starters were given at the same time rather than one at a time , which would have allowed us to enjoy them more ... but maybe we can’t fault the service, as we did not ask them specifically for them to do that , just assumed they would :-)<br/>We ordered a fried rice and garden fresh green in mustard sauce and it was delightful... light, flavorful with an amazing undertone of mustard <br/>For dessert we ordered - “ chilled cream of mango with sago pearl, pomelo and lime sorbet” - and that spoilt our evening - it came in a beautiful flat champagne glass without the sorbet ... quite nice BUT missing the sorbet. We called the staff to let them know of the error , they brought in the senior staff who tried to explain that it was supposed to be a “ Dash” of sorbet mixed in the cream!! Then they brought in the senior restaurant manager who got into an argument to explain why they were right... very quietly we explained that lime sorbet would be served a quenelle because if it’s mixed in the cream it’s not sorbet... also maybe the menu was misleading but the argument continued. We then requested that they reverify in their own time, to bring a halt to the argument because by then it had really spoilt the pleasure of the evening and asked for the check. <br/>What made matters worse and insulting was that after the check was paid, the restaurant manager gets us a quenelle of lime sorbet to show us what a sorbet is supposed to be !!! Well wasn’t that exactly what WE WERE TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO HIM EARLIER!!

This one was the Chinese place at leela. The entrance and the decor was amazing, full points for that. Specially the waterfall visible from inside the restraunt was good. Now coming to the food.<br/><br/>Soup: They got the wrong soup initially and then changed it. It was quote sour for my taste.<br/><br/>Dumplings: prawn dumpling was amazing, though they could increase the quantity<br/><br/>Main course: The main course was crispy lamb and chicken Manchurian. The crispy lamb was quite tasty and nicely made.<br/><br/>The orders were talking a lot of time though the staff kept on apologising for that.<br/><br/><br/>

This place has lovely ambience...and very courteous staff providing top notch service. For ambience and Service I will rate 5 star. The big let down to this place is food. We have ordered Chicken Hot and Sour Soup and Monchow soup both were very average in preparation and taste. Thereafter for starters we tried two dimsums both were not upto the mark and the dimsums were very hard to the dimsums standard. Thereafter we had crispy lamb which was worst I had in any Chinese reastaurant and the staples fried rice and chicken Hakka noodles was also below average. The management of restaurant should look for complete overhauling the Chef's of the restaurant.

Have been hearing lots about this place ... so my first thoughts:<br/><br/>1. Service: Super, Attentive and Caring<br/>2. Place: Seems old, at least the carpeting. Table setup is good.<br/><br/>Now the Food - we ordered a few things and mixed thoughts<br/><br/>Chicken and Prawn Dumplings: Good. <br/>- the accompaniments , Nice<br/><br/>Great Wall Soup: Super<br/><br/>Chicken Kung Pao - Ok. Found it on the sweeter side, the missed the "slight" crunchiness in the meat.<br/><br/>Ma Po Tofu with Chicken - Yummy Yummy.

This one scores very high on ambience. Gone are the cacophony of loud crowds. Instead get transformed into a out of city leisurely dining with a small waterfall outside the restaurant to just laze it for once. Service is very good, they do take care you enjoy your time there. Their signature hot and sour chicken soup is quite close to authentic Chinese and very good though it could cut a bit of oil. The mushroom in the soup reminded of my time in China. We had chicken and shrimp momos, some hakka noodles, chicken fried rice, chicken in black beans sauce and a crispy lamb which were very good but wouldn't yet place in excellent category. I don't quite remember the dessert, some mango stuff and rightfully so. Overall value for money and a very good experience . I would certainly recommend. Plus if you just go around the property, you can spend some time with Parakeets, quite in a rainbow of colors

Very high expectations considering restaurant in the leela. Food wasn't exceptionally good...have had better authentic Chinese in other restaurants... Ambience was good but could have been better. All in all a very okay type of experience. Would not recommend as such since it doesn't stand out neither in food nor overall ambience<br/>

Extremely cold and non responsive customer service. I went there with family including my 2.5 year old kid. They had small pieces of work in the food quite likely Teflon pieces. I told the waiter that they should be careful since the food has wok pieces in it. He didn't acknowledge it, neither did he apologize. Don't really appreciate the high handedness they exhibit and would never recommend it to anyone for the extremely cold customer service they have. Totally unacceptable response from a hotel of repute like Leela!

First , The Leela is beautiful. It's a 5star restaurant and expect great food but with equally great price.<br/>The Great Wall is a Chinese restaurant at The Leela, Chakala.<br/><br/>The service was top notch. You feel like a James Bond with waiters and stewards following u to keep u happy.<br/><br/>The food was good...but quatity needs to improve.<br/>The roasted Duck was crispy and tasty. The sauce it was served with was delicious.<br/>The Chinese fried rice with Machurian curry was delicious and appetizing. The aroma was heavenly.<br/>The quatity was less though.<br/><br/>The food heavenly , the bill heavenly too😁

We celebrated 3 birthdays at a restaurant inside The Leela's. If you want to get your hands on some authentic Chinese food "The Great Wall", is a best choice. We ordered a platter of dimsums which were just so delectable and juicy. I personally loved the prawns dimsums which were soft from outside but crisp and juicy from inside. The swiss chocolate cake at this restaurant is a must try. <br/>Overall the experience was just perfect.

I associate The Leela properties and their respective restaurants with grandeur and a very magnificent experience. I had the same feeling when I stayed at The Leela in Goa a few years ago. And also when I dined at Jamavar, at The Leela Mumbai. The Great Wall is honestly no different. The interiors are spacious – sometimes even the best of the restaurants have really tight seating, or the tables are too close to one another. But here, the seating is very carefully arranged in a way that even if the restaurant was full, you could still be enjoying a rather private meal. And if you are lucky, then you may just find a table by the window and that can make for a beautiful view, while you enjoy some good Chinese food.

Leela hotels ambience is very beautiful <br/>The Great Wall in Leela is an excellent choice for Chinese <br/>We had taken set menu for lunch <br/>Cost was around 1000+ taxes <br/>In set menu they have three variety of soups <br/>We ordered manchow soup which was not available in the menu but they still served us <br/>Soup was excellent with right quantity <br/>Preparation quite good with good presentation <br/>For starters there are five varieties u can choose one dimsum<br/>Dimsums were prepared with precision loved the filling and very thin outer cover steamed to perfection <br/> 1 main course has to be ordered with option of rice or noodles <br/>1 gravy option <br/>Noodles were very yummy while rice were okay <br/>2 options for deserts wherein again u can choose only one <br/>Both the deserts were good <br/>Loved their strawberry ice cream <br/>Service was good <br/>Ambience and decor extraordinary <br/>Full value for money <br/>Just wished they have more variety <br/>Include one non alcoholic drink with this menu <br/>

THIS GREAT WALL IS GRAND<br/>The Great Wall is one of the most amazing fine dining Chinese restaurants in Mumbai.The most endearing thing is the ambience - loved the old world charm. The staff and service is great too. Finally the food- delicious. We weren't really hungry so tried just a few dishes-all of them at par.I am definitely coming back here again.

I've been to Jamavar, their Indian restaurant many times. This was my first time at their Chinese one. And I wasn't happy! We had 2 adults and 2 kids with different food needs. I asked how big a portion the pomfret was and was told big enough for 2. But what came was a standard starter with 8 tiny pieces. The dimsums had 4 tiny ones in each portion. So we had to order lots of dishes which added to the huge bill in the end but nothing seemed substantial on our plates. Disappointed!

Great Wall the Chinese restaurant at The Leela, Mumbai is one of the pioneers of the cuisine in the city, the Hunan and Sichuan cuisines being their core. What drew me to the restaurant after long was their new menu coupled with the four-course set lunch priced at attractive Rs 1010 per person on through the week. <br/><br/>My table overlooking the green landscape replete with a waterfall set the vibrancy to the afternoon despite the 90’s décor. The set lunch comprised soup, starter, mains and a dessert; it had the basics but plausible options like the classic turnip cakes, crystal dumplings, and the Great wall special hot and sour soup. I also looked beyond it for the new menu items like the asparagus cheung fans and the main dish, chestnut, sugar snap peas, tofu, shitake and white fungus in a light citrusy sauce with Japanese inspirations, both exquisite. The mapo tofu for mains was classic and did me in. The cream of mango with sago pearls was refreshing with the acidity and the new dessert Gula Melaka of Sino-Malay origin, a combination of sago, coconut milk and Palm jaggery was silken albeit heavy. <br/><br/>Great Wall impressed with the food like always and their set menu we thought is a steal especially for those who look forward to see what Chinese food with quality ingredients taste like

Best experience ever! Everything from the starters to the entrees to the desserts meshed perfectly with my flavor-profile. The waitress did an excellent job. I'm definitely coming back for more!

Remains one of my favourite places. Was treating a close friend for my birthday. Love the menu, decor and service. What's best here is you can feel a unique taste on every bite you have. Keep it up folks

What to write about this legendary place. One of the first places to start authentic Chinese food in mumbai. I remember I had just married and come to Bombay and having a meal at The Great Wall was like saving 2 months salary and was a status symbol. Used to love going here. <br/>And then so many options opens up and suddenly leela from Juhu became too far a place. Sad!! <br/>Had dinner here yest night with some friends. Most outstanding food. No wonder it's maintained its top position for decades now. Excellent service of course. Simple rustic decor. By the time we reached for dinner from the room, it had almost closed and they were waiting only for us. <br/><br/>Mixed Dumplings- most amazing prawns, chicken n veg dumplings. Thin skinned and perfectly minced and marinated meat inside. <br/><br/>Steamed fish in Sauce- was perfectly grilled and the sauce was wonderful, subtle flavours of garlic n chilli. Loved it <br/><br/>Crab rice- outstanding. Gem of a dish. Loads of crabmeat in nicely flavoured moist rice. Just loved it. Winner all the way!! <br/><br/>My point- The Great Wall is an example of how the quality and taste needs to be maintained. There is no fun in opening 10 branches and going down on the prime component of the food industry... Taste!!

Have been a regular here for years,but i feel the quality of food has deteriorated over a period time.my favs here are sesame honey glazed chicken for starters,kung pao chicken with cashewnuts and dried chilly ,pan fried chicken blackbean sauce and fried rice with star anise,garlic and onions.the food is decent.you pay here more for the serenity in the ambience than the food,something that you expect and experience in a chinese fine dining restaurant that too over the years has become quite noisy.overall ,an ok alternative ..a restaurant that has started losing its charm.

The Great Wall is by far the best authentic Chinese restaurant I've been to!<br/>Location wise this place is well located just adjacent to the airport road metro station, though almost no one coming coming here travels by metro :P Pretty easily accessible by road too. Not too much traffic in its vicinity.<br/>The ambience, without a doubt is fabulous.<br/>To match it, is the taste of the food. Spot on flavours with the perfect balance of spice. We had-<br/>1. Vegetable crystal dim sum - Tasty, well cooked. Perfect, delicate, transparent coating. Little less on quantity. Only 4 pieces. 4/5<br/>2. Spicy Sichuan vegetable dumpling - Good but not great. Taste was not that appealing. 3.5/5<br/>3. The Great Wall Sichuan hot and sour soup with shredded chicken - Good. Something different from the regular chinese soups we have, but again for those who prefer to go for their favourite j stead of trying new things, shouldn't go for this one. 3.5/5<br/>4. Vegetable manchow soup - The classic chinese soup. Lived up to its fame :P perfect in all terms. Loved it 5/5<br/>5. Fresh garden greens in hot garlic sauce - Beautiful sauce to accompany the rice. Filled with flavour. Very tasty 5/5<br/>6. Fukien fried rice with vegetables - Different from usual, but not extra ordinary. 4/5<br/>7. Vegetable Fried rice - very good. 4.5/5<br/>8. Chilled cream of mango with sahi pearl - 2.5/5. Not good at all. Not a fine dining desert which was our expectation but it turned out to be quite ordinary.

Awesome dimsums, tried the chicken and prawns and their traditional peking duck, which was really well prepared. Would definitely visit again!

Soups: 'The great wall sichuan hot and sour soup- chicken' and 'Veg manchow soup'. Both were good. First soup was a bit hot for my palate but still tasty.<br/>Dimsums- Prawns spring roll: crispy and light; Veg crystal: a bit bland; Veg sichuan spicy: recommended.<br/>Main course:<br/>Roast peking duck with duck sauce: Loved it (not recommended for indian palate).<br/>Fresh vegetables with hot garlic sauce: average.<br/>Veg fukien rice: good<br/>Veg fried rice: good<br/>Dessert: <br/>Chilled cream of mango with sago pearl: Did not like it. Was neither sweet nor sour.

Very nice ambience. .. but food wasn't tht great..... soup was full of soy sauce n main course was too dry.... the crispy prawn starter n the kimchi salad saved it all...... u hv other better places for such cuisine so nothing like a big miss out....

We were a group of 10 ladies and wanted to have an ala carte meal at the Great Wall .. <br/>but we were not happy at all , as the food was prepared with a feeling that it's done by a chef who has left his passion by the window .<br/>The Shanghai dimsums were oily , the noodles weee super greasy . The only good was the sea food soup .<br/>It was definitely not a the Great Wall experience ..<br/>

The only reason I've been coming here as far as I can remember as a child with my folks and now I'm married and come here with my husband after wrapping up with the hustle life of the city and love getting frisked away into this peaceful ambience provided by the Leela's here at the Great Wall! This is a typically old school oriental joint simply lit in the evenings, the menu is precise and they definitely know what they're serving you. For the people calling their food bland it's funny cos how our Indian tastebuds have to indianise every cuisine to their liking so if you're one of them then this isn't the place you should visit. The service over the years has been impeccable and my favourite mains will always be accompanied with the classic fried rice, so simple so homely and so authentic, almost difficult to find these days. You'd have to scout the Chinese joints that have been established in the 80's to truly enjoy this kind of authenticity. One of them being Flora and another being Kamling at Churchgate. Just impeccable food and so so true to its cuisine also my granny's favourite place for having her birthdays here as the staff take extra care for her spice intake. Food has flavours in abundance here. Another must try is their wasabi prawns, lettuce wrap, Kung Pao chicken and the assorted dimsum basket and the angel hair 🍝 👌🏼

I been to Leela's recently with my colleagues. We all are Chinese cuisine fans and thought of going to the great wall. Though we give out of marks to the ambience. It's truly mesmerizing!! But we went bit late than reserved time so the staff were not very hostile and told to make orders asap. No assistance in ordering food. We ordered total 15 dishes but were not very happy with the orders. The quality and taste of food doesnt not justify the price. I can list 50 elite restaurants in Mumbai serving best food with great ambience and hostile staffs. <br/>Statutory warning do not try chicken crispy here its almost like kurkure but more harder

Nice and calm place to be the seating near the window table is like super wow and the view is amazing and green with water fall it's a good venue nice taste of the food must try the dim-sum there

Had a quick and light dinner here. Ambience 5/5. Food 5/5. Service 5/5. The Szechuan Manchow soup and sweet corn chicken soup were great. Had sautéed prawns in garlic - superb.

Wonderful experience.. Great ambience... amazing food.. attentive service.. beautiful view. Very few veg dishes, but whatever we tried tasted superb & authentic.. would definitely visit again

Great ambience, most of the tables are overlooking a garden. Their menu has not changed over the years, but good fresh ingredients and the dishes are rightly spiced. Highly recommend the lettuce wraps and assorted dimsum basket ( veg and non-veg). Particularly liked some of the stir fried dishes- the chinese greens and broccoli in garlic sauce. In the non-veg, the fish in chilli sauce was rightly spiced. The egg fried rice was also good, not oily and had the right flavour. Overall not too expensive as compared to the other five star restaurants

We have been dining here since the last 25 years and Great Wall is one of Mumbai's oldest Chinese restaurant. <br/><br/>Having a fancy Chinese meal in chopsticks was a treat in yester times, but one thing that still remains unchanged is the interiors of this place. They have managed to still retain the same charm and undoubtedly our attachment to this restaurant only takes us a walk down memory lane. <br/><br/>The service is top notch and the servers are quite attentive to your needs, which is definitely expected in a 5*<br/><br/>As far as the Food goes, it's fairly average, and not the best in the league.

Authentic chinese food. Amazing ambiance comes with a price . Do try hazelnut icecream for desert its crazy awesome. Staff is amazing. Its an amzing place for lunch.

Loved your food alot.Great service and good ambience.I would like to visit this place again.They suggest you the best menu a perfect authentic chinese resturant to visit with family and friends .The dish which i liked to most was wasabhi prawns and ice cream with honey noodles.<br/>Awsome experience worth it with complete happiness<br/>

The ambiance is so mesmerizing.... The service was great ... The cuisine here is chinese.... I liked a few dishes,but since it is authentic chinese,some of them were a bit blank,but that is how it is supposed to be....

Great food always.. Momos and prawn starters are must havs! P.S. - they also have a small art gallery just outside the restaurant which adds for a good stroll post meals.

Not so impressive from the entry space, the waterfall and greenery seen through the large clear windows changes the perception. Limited menu but if u request the chef they would be happy to create! I sent with the chef recommendations and some amazing flavours played with our taste buds! The hot garlic sauce, crispy veg salt pepper are a must try

The Great Wall is indeed one of the best restaurants for Chinese cuisine. The prawn dimsum is a true delight and a must have. The ambience is way too good keeping the natural aspect in mind. It's the perfect place to satisfy all your Chinese food wants. Deserts are upto the mark as well. Yes, the prices are too exorbitant when compared to our regular Chinese restaurants but its worth all the money you put in!

The first thing you notice about Great Wall is brilliant ambiance with nice soft music playing in the background. This is the only Chinese restaurant in bombay which I've been to, serve Chinese tea wholeheartedly. Not once we have asked for the tea to be refilled it gets done automatically which is a refreshing change from most of the restaurants who are always stingy to serve chinese tea. The dimsums we had were above average so were the appetisers. The main course was also really good. The mango Cantonese mousse is worth trying. The only flip side is the restaurant is on a bit expensive side. The service was pretty good and if you want to spend really nice time eating Chinese food the Great Wall is an ideal place to be at

Faboulous food... gr8 ambience... courteous staff... but pricey like all 5 stars... v started with seafood and chickem dim sum... the dim sum melted in the mouth... crispy duck spring roll... chicken soup... but the peking duck was not up to mark... not to mark to the one v had in hong kong... the pork fired rice was quite average... the best dish was the finale - the mango pudding was divine.

Food is not the only criteria to judge a restaurant !! You must be saying that's is not possible !! This outlet has a added advantage that is the spectacular view .. U sit facing the waterfall and streaming water and enjoy ur authentic Chinese food ..I had wasabi prawns which were hot and crispy (yummy) . In main course had konjee lamb and prawns in shrimp sauce .. Out of the world the food and service ..icing on the cake was the mango pudding wid vanilla cream and fruits ... Must visit restaurant ..

The place was bad in ambience , food quality also didn't match the big hotel tag . <br/>Not a place I would recommend anyone .

The food was average. I've been told many a times that food at five star hotels are a joke. The Great Wall had an amazing ambiance and I loved the decor. The staff was also very prompt so was the service. The food however was just average and highly over rated. The only good part was the dessert which was anyway not Chinese. The different flavours of icecreams they had was really good. But otherwise, highly unsatisfactory. We expected better food when paying so much!

One of the best Chinese restaurants I have been to. Excellent interiors. Exceptional staff. Had from a set menu for a group of four. I being allergic to shrimps was taken care by the staff with alternate chicken based food without being asked for!! Wonderful evenings but can be expensive affair!

I had been here with my best friend....It was for the first time I had been to any 5 star hotel for lunch and it was worth it....<br/><br/>They serve very authentic chinese hence it was bit difficult to have soup as it was very blend in taste but that how the real chinese is...In starter we ordered some fish which was damn good very awesome ...and at the last we had dessert which was amazing with wet lichi on vanilla icecream and the entire stuff on a nest kind of made with fried noodles....amazing....

We happened to dine at The Great Wall after 8 odd years last weekend when my cousin absolutely insisted he was craving Chinese food for lunch. You can see the entrance to this restaurant on the mezannine floor just as you make your way past the lobby because there's a flight of beautiful stairs leading down to the Great Wall establishment.<br/><br/>The view from any of their tables by the window is no ordinary one you'll find at any of the other establishments in Bombay. Since there were about 8 of us, they gave us the circular enclosure towards the back-end of the restaurant and from where I was seated, it seemed like we were at a restaurant in Bali just because of the big rock faux water fall they had created outside.<br/><br/>It’s difficult to order badly, but vegetarian newbies should begin with classics like the babycorn, mushroom and waterchestnut salt and pepper vegetables, sichuan dumplings, and crystal dumplings. For the main course, you could sample the tofu in blackbean sauce, or the stir fried chinese greens in garlic sauce with their sticky vegetarian fried rice. We were pretty full from eating all of these but someone on a table far away ordered a sizzler and the aroma and sound theatrics compelled us to order a vegetarian sizzler with lotus roots, mushroom, zucchini and bell peppers. It was lovely.

gud ambience...gud seevice gud food...dis is de nly rest whch i like 2 visit @ the leelas othrs r jus 2 pathetic 2 visit

If its Chinese, it's certainly not 'The Great Wall'. <br/>Average food and careless service backed by Good Ambience. <br/>Overall a disappointing experience. <br/>They need to up the ante with the food.

The restaurant has been there for a while. Excellent new menu repertoire. The Expat Chinese chef is friendly. Service was spot on. The Cantonese Prawns, Scallops in XO, Sweet and Sour Pork, Sea Bass were some of the best in mumbai. A must visit.
