INSIDER TIPS

  • You can order off-the-menu if you seem confident enough! Tell the waiter that you've heard that the chef does authentic Hunan and Sichuan food and they will usually agree to give you the kind of food that people really eat in China
  • The current menu goes beyond China to take in the food of overseas Chinese communities. You'll find a version of Singapore Chilli Crab and many other dishes that are unknown in Sichuan but are popular in Colaba
  • The original Dragon did not bother with dim-sum but in its current avatar, the restaurant is proud of an expat chef who makes perfectly adequate dimsum

Vir's Verdict

3.7 /5

India's most influential Chinese restaurant. Until the Golden Dragon opened in 1974, nobody had realised that Chinese food could be spicy. The Dragon introduced Indians to the fiery food of Sichuan and transformed Chinese cuisine in the sub-continent forever. These days the Dragon is a smart, expensive hotel-type restaurant serving food from all over China and Hong Kong. It has a dedicated clientele of South Bombay regulars who have been going there since they were children and is very much the favourite Chinese restaurant of the establishment.

About Golden Dragon, The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Mumbai

The story of India’s love for Chinese cuisine has been going around for ages. It first started when Chinese refugees bought with themselves their culinary heritage several decades ago and since then the cuisine has been adapted as our own, but a tad more spicier. There are as many Chinese restaurants in every city of India as North Indian restaurants, such is the popularity of this cuisine. Similar is the case with Mumbai where there are great Chinese places dotted all over the city. For fine and the fancy Mumbaikers prefer to dine at The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel’s swanky Chinese restaurant ‘Golden Dragon’. When the special occasion calls for it, this is where foodies turn to for authentic traditional Sichuan fare. Golden Dragon is a superb addition to Colaba’s gastro scene.
