An amazing place to visit specially if you knew what this place was once upon a time before it became this real swank joint that boasts of celebrities at the drop of a hat.
Started by a very unassuming man named Krishna ( an immigrant Tibetan) it was the roaring success of his first restaurant viz. CHINA GATE that resulted in the birth of the Golden Orchid and now the new happening disc adjacent to it called ’FLUID’’
It boasts of oriental food of a slightly different kind. When I was first invited to sample its fare, I was curious to know which cuisine was being presented. Krishna told me that in China you have Mongolian, Pekinese and a couple more cuisines that primarily form the basic Chinese we see here In INDIA.
I found the taste a wee bit sweeter and a hint of black pepper but more delicious than some real good chinese dishes tha I have savoured.
He himself manufactures the basic noodles and sauces that go with it and is also a major supplier to other chinese joints all over. So I guess the very best of the best gets served here.
Prices are keeping in mind the ambience on the upper side but you dont mind splurging when you are gorging on good food. Valet parking is available and a boon.
Highly reccomended place for a great night out with family or friends.
Yes, service standards are high and you can expect personal attention if you desire. A bar is secluded on the first floor and very well stocked. An excellent pub atmosphere pervades and engulfs you for a really memorable night cap or an evening out with your business friends or the lovely lady you want to whisper sweet nothings to.
The original China Gate still remains my favourite for authentic Chinese food specially the spare ribs which I have relished with my good friend Avinash whenever we have visited this place.
