Zion The Oriental Bowl - Kolad

We had a great experience Service is a concern as it is slow but food is worth the wait Did not find the sampan special rice as tasty as it used to be but the Hakka noodles and the Buddha vegetables were great Recommend that you try their broccoli water chestnut vegetable and their pot rice The burnt garlic veg rice had to be redone by the chef but once done ,,,, were amazing! Nice ambience too

I had been to this restaurant with friends for lunch. It is located in Novotel hotel in Juhu. Had ordered out madrin chicken for appetizers and fusion fried rice and pot rice for main course. The quantity was good enough for all of us. the taste of madrin chicken was good.

An old favourite from a decade or more. The entire family likes it and have different dishes as standard. The service and food has been consistent. I love the flavoured egg rice with any chicken. And of course the dumplings, wanting. Go try it out.

Sampan is a fine dine restaurant located at Novotel Juhu. The location and ambience is beautiful. The service is good and quick staff is  polite. This place serves some really delicious Authentic Chinese cuisine. Now coming to the food this is what I tried: 1. Chicken dumplings 5*/5 Steamed dumplings delicious Minced chicken meat stuffed in Chinese pastry. This was  served with a side sauce dip. Loved it. 2. Cha Chu Chicken 5*/5 Perfectly marinated Crispy chicken fried shreds sautéed with fresh chillies and garlic had side salad. Very good starter. 3. Chicken Pepper Soup 5*/5 Finely chopped chillies, medium spiced chicken pieces , spinach and egg drop. This was spicy but I really liked it. 4. Green Chilli Chicken 4*/5 Diced chicken pieces stir fried with spring onions, light soya and green chilli. This was really good gravy. 5. Chicken Fried rice 5*/5 Perfect in taste 6. Hakka Noodles 5*/5 Perfect in taste. My Experience Food: Delicious Quality: Excellent Quantity: Excellent Price: Expensive each dish starts at Rs 700 and above Type: Fine Dine Restaurant All facilities Available Seating: Comfortable Service: Table service was quick Staff: Polite and well trained Overall Value for money : 5*/5 for food 4*/5 for experience. *Note: Only drawback was that the management didn't allow pictures of the ambiance? I was allowed to take pictures of the food but not of the seating area? I would have understood the concern if the frame had people in it. But the restaurant was almost empty and there was no one next to our table. I have been to so many fine dine restaurants never encountered such an approach. No idea why i wasn't allowed to click empty table and chairs without any people in it ?it was funny. Now at a digital age when there is transperancy and guest are having a good time and paying a good amount of money for their meals, I wasn't sure why an inexpensive picture wasn't allowed. Apart from that experience was good.

I had been to Sampan at Novotel Hotel Juhu with my best friend and sisters to celebrate my friend's birthday. We had pot rice, fusion fried rice and madrin chicken. We only liked the madrin chicken but the pot rice fusion rice we did not like as we said about the chicken item but these 2 items were full of veg and veg and rarely any piece of chicken. The ambience was also ok. But thanks to the attendant as he gave us a complimentary cake for the celebration.
