In the short time, that I have lived in Shanghai I have been to restaurants that did not deserve a second visit but Garlic is not like that. We will be going back for a second visit although I do not know when we will be. We arrived around 17:40, the sun was still up and the dining room was bright, clean, tidy and very nicely decorated with a charming style that does not show any signs of age. My one gripe was the lighting, as the sun went down the dining room was not bright enough, overhead there were lots of bulbs with glowing elements that looked very nice but did not provide enough illumination. Our group were not the only people to think this, twice I noticed patrons at other tables using the flashlights from their phones to look at the menu. The staff were very nice, although one woman was not confident enough assisting us using English and my Chinese is less than great, especially when I have had a few drinks. Throughout the 2 hours we were there the staff were very good removing empty dishes and refreshing glasses. Towards the end, I thought that they were doing this as a hint that they wanted to clear the table for the next customers but this was not the case. It did take us more than a few minutes to get the bill when we wanted to leave but the dining room was busy and close to full at that point, so I will not hold that against the staff. The food was great, my wife and I ordered the set menu, which was more than enough with five cold starters, two warm starters then the “grill” which was a very large plate with vegetables and several meats. One of our friends is a vegan, he was happy enough with several different starters, three other friends all ordered the same kebab and no one had any complaints about...

Read morenot sure how they accumulated purported high ratings. Maybe they did well in the past. The beef sirloin and roasted lamb they serve are fake processed meat that doesnt even resemble real meat in smell or texture in any way shape or form. let alone the portion is tiny not even feeding a 5 yr old. Everything comes with mediocre yogurts on top of a splash of tomato sauce that dont smell tomato. last not least I advice you be cautious visiting the place if you arnt born with tough digestive system as the staff has terrible hygienic manner. It is a phenomenon in SH that most highrating dine-ins open more than 10 yrs spiral down sharply since 2024. So find yourself a local foodie if you picky...
