Fayian — Restaurant in New Delhi

Revisited Fa Yian Restaurant Connaught Place today, after 30+ years.... because of a recent post pointer by my friend Sanjayy Kumar and found it as good (rather better) as it was before. Now moved to a slightly bigger premises (still only a 30 seater restaurant) with simplistic uncluttered decore and a lot of positive vibes. Simple menu, short and crisp. Reasonable pricing. Good (delicious) food and friendly attentive service.

We opted for two Express chinese platter with Chicken and Paneer and base ingredients. Choice of soup (Sweet Corn & Hot n Sour).... Cooking sauce options are as per customer's preference (Garlic, Manchurian, Kung Pao & Chilli). Served with 3 pieces of Wonton and adequate portion of veg Noodles & veg fried rice. A barely minimal dessert (An avoidable scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream) to end the meal.

All in all... a great value meal for a nominal price of Rs.410++ with an opportunity to taste so many selectable dishes. And the food is really...

The taste of real or close to the actual Chinese cuisine experience is what you get at Fa Yian, a lesser known eating outlet, a bit expensive to the regular eating-out-person but is worth every bit of money. There's not much to comment on the ambience because it is sort of average in every sense of the term but the food is worth mentioning over and over again. Although the variety of cuisines are summed up on one single page but they deserve a mention because of the finesse of preparation. Special care is taken to prepare each and every dish and that includes something as common as single plate of chicken dumplings, widely known as momos. Although I tried out much more than just the dumplings but by mentioning something as commonplace as momos I want to convey the great care and meticulous patience with which they are prepared.

The place deserves repeated visits unless one has exhausted all the options of the one-paged-menu.

I'm going to visit again, soon!...

This place was suggested to me by my sister. I visited this place with my fiance after office it wasn’t that hard to find this place.. it’s in the CP’s middle lane. The reastaurant is quite small with just 4-5 tables.

They have one page menu covering almost all the Chinese food and so we started off with Chicken Talumein Soup (Rs.165/-) not bad at all. It was perfect loaded with veggies and chicken. Portion wast too much for one so we asked for 1:2.

After soup we had Chicken Chinese Choupsey(Rs.335/-). It was again nothing less than delicious.

Portionwise : more than enough for one(person with normal appetite)

Pricewise: affordable

Tastewise: too delicious.

As we were in bit hurry so couldn’t had other things but I’m definitely heading back to this place to try out more.

PS: Before I had food here Bercos was always my go to place for chinese but not I would prefer this over...
