Mainland China, Chinese restaurant in Church Street, Bangalore, India
Mainland China is a Chinese restaurant in central Bangalore that serves regional specialties both à la carte and as a buffet. The dining area is organized around separate cooking stations, each dedicated to a different type of dish such as stir-fries, noodles, or seafood.
The restaurant opened in Bangalore to bring regional Chinese cooking to Indian diners who had little access to it at the time. Over the years, the concept grew and new branches opened across the city.
The kitchen adapts classic Chinese recipes to suit Indian tastes, which shows in the seasoning and the choice of ingredients. Visitors often notice that many dishes are less spicy than in traditional Chinese cooking, yet remain recognizable in their origin.
Booking a table in advance is a good idea, especially on weekends and during holidays when the restaurant tends to fill up quickly. The location in central Bangalore makes it easy to reach from most parts of the city.
The branch in the Whitefield area serves sushi, which is uncommon for a Chinese restaurant in India. The branch at Orion Mall focuses more on seafood and has a menu that differs noticeably from the other locations.
