Restaurant Review - Mandarin Trail, Greater Noida

On my recent visit to Delhi, i went out dining with a couple of friends in Noida, and we ended up going to Mandarin Trail at GIP Mall.
The restaurant was near empty as it was a weeknight and we were guided to our table in one corner so that we could have our privacy.

The seating is comfortable and lighting is sufficient, the ambiance of the place was nicely done and not over the top. The subtle tones of black and red lent an oriental shade while retaining its elegance.
We ordered for a few drinks and all poultry starters comprising of drums of heaven and chilly chicken.
The liquor was served and within a few minutes the starters also were on the table.
Both of them had large portions, and were hot and fresh. The chicken was soft and the marination was flavourful. lightly crispy drums of heaven and big chunks of chicken.

A friend also tried chicken manchow soup which was spicy, thick and delicious.
Having got a cue from the starters, we restricted our main course order to chicken fried rice and shredded chicken in szechwan sauce. The quantities were sufficient for the 3 of us and we weren't disappointed by the taste.

The pricing is not overly expensive, and what really won our hearts was the fabulous service.
Only in a star hotel can you expect the level of courteousness and presence of mind shown by the waiters here. We had a young kid with us and they took full care to ensure his comfort and kept him occupied while we stole time to grab our meal.

It was a good outing and though i haven't visited any of the other chinese restaurants in Delhi, I'd dare to say this might just be one of the best.

Sorry no images in this one. My phone was out of battery that night.

Rating - 4.5/5
