Ling's Pavilion - Mumbai

Good place to dine. Though I wasn’t that impressed with the food. I really love their chicken pepper garlic. The service is really good. Banana caramel dessert had a strong flavour which turned me off.

The pork ribs were to die for. I will go back only for them. The beef was also amazing, however pork remains a personal favourite. The only thing that put me off was the attitude of the staff. I understand that old establishments have their own identity and do not need to pull in new customers, but the apathy of the Jim Me staff was something else altogether. Also I think he might be overworked and they should hire more people...but that's not my place to suggest. All in all, almost a perfect experience.

We can't recommend this place enough and we're totally glad to discover this hidden gem!From the traditional Chinese interiors to the authentic Chinese flavours, we fell in love with the vintage vibe of Ling's PavilionWe totally recommend the Prawns on toast, soups and the dimsums on the menu! To get a taste of the best dimsums, order the dimsum platter both the setamed and fired options are quite stunningOrder cautiously as the portions are quite generous!

Legendary joint for Indian Chinese food in colaba. We ordered the chicken rainbow soup, a prawn appetizer and the haka noodles. The soup was a clear soup with shredded chicken, it was well made. The haka noodles were exactly what you would expect from a good Indian-Chinese joint. The baby prawn appetizer was the best dish, would highly recommend! The portions were huge and this was enough for two people with a good appetite. Ambience could be improved.

Great service, Amazing food and classic decor. (Been going regularly since I was a kid) Admittedly Lings went through a bad phase that stopped in 2015 or 2016. I'm glad Lings is back in action and has been serving legit Chinese food on the block again.<br/ <br/ Let's talk about the food. <br/ <br/ Little disclaimer, I seldom order vegetarian so if you are vegetarian there is only one item I have tried and it is amazing, its the chinese samosa looking things, unfortunately I've forgotten what they are called  <br/ <br/ What I normally order<br/ SOUP<br/ Not to hype it or anything but it's literally my favourite soup I've had all over the globe. The Wonton soup with Roast Pork. Broth is extremely flavourful, and there is some meat in every single bite. You can chose Prawn/Chicken/Veg/Pork wontons.  This soup is soup for the soul.<br/ STARTERS<br/ Chilli Garlic Prawns: Amazing. They choose a good supplier for prawns as they quality is pretty good, the acoutrements to this dish are satisfyingly chunky, so you can definitely dig into the chilli garlic mixture towards the end. All you garlic fiends don't miss this.<br/ Shumai (Siu Mai) really nice texture and mouth feel. The filling is stuffed.<br/ MAINS<br/ POT RICE This is the flagship. I request for a bacon/mushroom pot rice. It's amazing. <br/ This or the <br/ BACON FRIED RICE what more do i need to say? <br/ Staple order to go with this is two mains (normally Im here with a party of four) one in Mongolian sauce (dark brown spicy) and one in singapore sauce (orange/red and slightly tangy/spicy). The sauces are solid, I do chicken in singapore and prawn mongolian as my preference. The quality of the sauce is good, and spreads once you run a spoon through it, it's got no soda or additional hang ups.<br/ <br/ I tend not to have DESSERT here so I'm sorry can't help you with that one :P<br/ <br/ DECOR<br/ FISH DUDE! They have live fish downstairs. I've ogled at them many times, very calming. Some koi fish to look at. <br/ Actual Decor Love Lings' style. They have maintained their old ceiling, it's really a stalwart of Mumbai decor. I don't take many photos, but you can see plenty in other reviews!<br/ <br/ SERVICE<br/ Like I said, they went through a bad phase. They have some staff that have been there for years, they are amazing. The new staff could use a little upskilling to be honest, but nothing out of the norm. They are always courteous and seem to want you to enjoy your food and time at the place. This is a hallmark of management who likes to serve people good food. I feel very welcomed here all the time.<br/ <br/ Hope you enjoyed the review.
