Chi-Ni Restaurant

It was great news when I found out that Tooting would be able to serve one of the best cuisines in the world, which is Indian-Chinese cuisine. I am not a food critic, but I never miss an opportunity to try new places serving Far Eastern dishes.
We ordered two starters and two main courses. Chicken - lollipop turned out to be a bull's eye, delicate, crunchy and dripping with authentic flavour. The salt-pepper fish was fresh and tasted great as well.
As for the main course, we ordered chicken Manchurian and chilli chicken in sauce. I am sorry to say, but both dishes tasted identical, not much different, even in the colour of the sauce. Manchurian lacked garlic, spring onion and a solid dose of soy sauce, which is standard in this dish. The head of Chi Ni should refine the menu a bit better.
I hope, someday, I will visit this place once more, checking other items on the menu, hoping that I will not be disappointed.

At last we have a halal Chinese restaurant in Tooting. This new establishment is clean and the staff are well trained. I was speaking to the owner and found out he has over 20 years of experience and has run restaurants in number of countries. Great job and all the best.

Very warm friendly team who serves & takes care of their customers. My First time trying Malaysian food & boy do I want more, very well prepared & tasty for first time experience. I tried their Chicken Ayam Rendang.

Was very excited about the opening of the restaurant as, it says Malaysian food. Ordered tai pai chicken, mee goreng mix and mee goreng special along with bubur cha cha & kuih bengka ubi. As a malaysian and having tasted mee goreng all my life i would say the mee goreng from Chi Ni is no where similar. It was more like chow mein noodle. Essential ingredients for mee goreng is bean sprouts, tofu and the special sambal they fry it with but, today's mee goreng has got none of this and there was no flavour of mee goreng. On the other hand the tai pai chicken was nice, it was not great but, it is nice to eat. Another dish that was very disapointing was the bubur cha cha. The bubur was so different in colour and lack of true flavour of bubur cha cha. In saying all this i was glad that, at least 1 dish was excellent and that was the bingka ubi. It was worth every penny. I enjoyed it and the taste was same as the one's we get from Malaysia. I would only go back here to buy bingka ubi.
