Even though Delhi enjoys a wide and diverse range of global cuisines it has a special place in its heart for Chinese food. The comforting warm flavours of Chinese cuisine has wooed the city crowd for decades, paving way to many sensational restaurants that has become the integral part of the city’s gastronomy. While some eateries may have been a recent addition to Delhi’s Asian food scene, they have a powerful history where this cuisine is concerned. One prime example is ‘China Garden’, a wonderful fine dining restaurant that started its culinary journey in the 1970’s at Bombay. The outlet is located at the Marina Arcade of Connaught Place in Delhi, with another one in Greater Kailash. We however have a special preference of CP outlet as it’s much more accessible to us.
