Share portions. Plan to share rice and noodles: one spicy garlic noodles portion was reported to be enough for three.

The Bottom Line

Chinchaaus Restaurant Al Nahda is a Desi Chinese spot for Mumbai-style, Indian-influenced flavours, especially if you like food that is spicy, tangy and generously portioned. The menu gives you plenty to share, with regulars mentioning Hakka noodles, burnt garlic chicken, Schezwan fried rice and Fish Chilly dry. Vegetarian dishes are available too.

The strongest draw is value: several diners say rice, noodles and other mains are large enough for two, three or even four people. A set lunch was once reported at AED 23 for chicken and AED 26 for seafood, although another review says the restaurant had become pricier in recent months. This is customer-reported pricing rather than a current menu quote.

Quality and service are less consistent. Some customers describe delicious food, friendly staff and fast service, while others received bland fried rice, disappointing noodles or poorly prepared soup. Takeaway has had notable delays, including a nearly 50-minute Chicken Dimsum wait, and delivery packaging has been criticised for leaking.

For a first visit, consider the better-known spicy dishes and allow extra time for orders. Parking feedback is mixed: one diner found it difficult, while another reported plenty at the Al Nahda branch. The restaurant is relatively small, and one review mentions no dedicated hand-wash or washroom.
