The Great Wall at The Leela Mumbai – New Menu

The Great Wall at The Leela Mumbai
Very recently, The Great Wall at The Leela Mumbai revamped their menu.

The Great Wall at The Leela Mumbai

The Great Wall at The Leela Mumbai is a restaurant serving authentic Chinese food.

I associate The Leela properties and their respective restaurants with grandeur and a very magnificent experience. I had the same feeling when I stayed at The Leela in Goa a few years ago. And also when I dined at Jamavar, at The Leela Mumbai.

The Great Wall is honestly no different. The interiors are spacious – sometimes even the best of the restaurants have really tight seating, or the tables are too close to one another. But here, the seating is very carefully arranged in a way that even if the restaurant was full, you could still be enjoying a rather private meal. And if you are lucky, then you may just find a table by the window and that can make for a beautiful view, while you enjoy some good Chinese food.

As soon as you are seated and comfortable, the staff will serve you some Jasmine tea. And you can sip that, whilst deciding what you need to order. You can also munch on some peanuts, cabbage kimchi and even fruit kimchi while you wait for your order to arrive.

I started with some soup and tried out a little bit of the Manchow and the Sweet Corn Soup. The Manchow Soup felt like perfection – warm goodness from all the ginger-garlic. The Sweet Corn Soup was generously topped with vegetables and was indeed very comforting.

I tried a whole bunch of their appetizers.

Cheong Fun Dim Sum – they’re made fresh and have a delicately thin outer covering and a very generous filling of vegetables. These were melt in your mouth – the flavor of the vegetables along with the mild sauce was exceptional.

Onion Pancakes – these were as delicious as they look! Deep fried and with an extremely tasty stuffing inside. I absolutely recommend ordering these.

Crispy Honey Chilli Vegetable – large chunks of vegetables, deep fried. They had a splendid hot and sweet kind of taste.

I also completely over-indulged while eating my main course. I tried their Singapore Rice Noodles which were yellow in color and came with some vegetables. They felt extremely light and went perfectly with the Fresh Garden Greens in Hot Garlic Sauce. I also tried their Fried Rice with Star Anise, Caramelized Onions and Fried Garlic. This had a distinctive flavor and was such a good combination with the Wok Fried Greens in the Ponzu Sauce. This gravy was very light, and had an almost citrusy feel to it. The water chestnuts, broccoli, tofu, carrots did lend their flavor and all in all I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

For dessert I tried their signature dish – the Gula Melaka. A pudding made from Sago and Coconut Milk. Very different!

And I also tried their Handmade Hazelnut Ice Cream – and this is officially the best hazelnut ice cream I’ve tasted in the longest time. It is so beautifully creamy just so pleasing!

The staff at The Great Wall are extremely polite and helpful. They not only guide you on what you should order, but also provide recommendations based on your likes, allergies etc.

I totally recommend this place. It’s gorgeous and serves delicious food.

They also have a very interesting set menu for lunch on weekdays and you could even check that out.

Rajasthani food festival
If you love good food, then the Rajasthani Food Festival at Jamavar, The Leela Mumbai needs to be on your to-do list.

I recently had the opportunity of dining at The Leela Mumbai. This was my first brush with the brand in my own city and I was so happy that I got to experience a preview of their special Rajasthani Menu.

Here’s a little snippet from my visit.

The Chef and the staff at Jamavar had prepared a complete meal; from starters to mains and finally dessert – everything was stellar.

There was a selection of pickles and chutneys. The bhindi with chura papad and the kairi and pyaaz kachumber (of sorts) stood out for me here.

Then came the appetizers which were not only so beautifully plated, but also tasted divine.

Paneer Ke Sooley

I could definitely eat a plateful of this! The flavor of the chutneys and the crunch in the crust of this kachori totally did it for me.

Maawey aur Meewey Ki Seekh

A seekh kebab, that was slightly on the sweeter side.

Arbi Akhrot Ki Tikki

A tikki made from walnuts and arbi; never knew it could be so delicious.

The main course was an equally exquisite spread

Very different tasting kofta. Enjoyed these with a selection of kulcha and roti.

Dal Baati Churma

Rajasthani Food Festival The Leela

For me, this was probably one of the best Dal Baatis I’ve had in a long time. The churma itself was so rich and while the baati was immersed in ghee, it was exceptionally tasty.

Aloo aur Chana Dal Ki Khichdi

Aloo and Chana Dal khichdi

A very simple, yet flavorful preparation of rice with chana dal and little potato pieces. The flavors of cinnamon and peppercorns in this took the dish to the next level.

I tried some pretty interesting dessert here as well.

Dessert at Jamavar

Matar Halwa

Halwa made from green peas. If you like the taste of raw green peas you may like this one.

Kesar Malai Kulfi

Probably the creamiest kulfi I’ve had in a long time. This was exceptional.

Malpua with Rabdi

Malpua topped with a thin layer of rabdi.

If you want to try out some delicious Rajasthani food in Mumbai, then make sure you check out this festival that is on until the 31st July at Jamavar, The Leela Mumbai. I absolutely recommend it.
