    I recently visited this place with my friends, and we had a mixed bag of experiences, with some dishes being excellent and others being less impressive. We started with the Manchow soup, which was the best among all things we tried. It was perfectly spiced and flavorful, and the crispy noodles added a delightful crunch to the soup Next, we tried the Chicken Chilli Wings, which were also quite good. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the chilli sauce was tangy and flavorful. However, we were not as impressed with the Spicy Sichuan Rice. It was a bit too soft for our liking. The grains were mushy and it was not to our liking. I would have preferred the rice to be cooked to a slightly firmer texture. Overall, we liked the service and food at Fat Panda. The staff was friendly and attentive. While the prices are higher than at some other restaurants, I felt that the quality of the food and service justified the cost.

    The BEST place for Chinese food in Srinagar. Absolutely loved the food! The Hot and Sour Soup was fantastic. The food was above expectations. I went a second time after two days!!! The waiter is friendly, and service timely. Worth more than just one visit.

    If you go to fat panda, you should go prepared. My 3 star rating is based on me also getting home delivery done. Food in house: ordered the wonton soup, plain rice, fried rice, kung pao chicken. Both the rice were not to my liking. They used basmati rice to make fried rice. The wonton soup was mediocre (wonton good, broth bland, noodle bad). Delivery (1 month back): ordered the XO fried rice. That was good. Here's the Bad stuff: (Dine in experience) Their service was really bad, they have stuff on the menu that they can't make and the waiter didnt know whether they could provide it or not. The menu doesn't describe any of the dishes (hopefully everyone who is allergic is also a Masterchef!!!!). Oh and I had an upset stomach the same night, but my friends didn't, so I cant blame that on the restaurant. But their food was the last thing I ate.

    One of the best meals we had in Srinagar. Superb taste and amazing quantity. Malacca rice is a must try if you're in for a spicy treat. Service is impeccable. Dishes were tailor made according to our taste and there was no displeasure that was ever expressed on such enormous requests we had. Very flexible and honest staff. Recommend for everyone whatever your tastebuds are. Thank you Team

    Decent Chinese restaurant located on the bank of Dal Lake. Menu has good number of Veg & non veg dishes to choose from. Ambiance and interiors are soothing and seating area is spacious. We tried Mocktails, Ice tea, Shake, Appetiser and Fried Rice. Portion size and taste of all dishes was good.

    Had the most horrible experience. The starter soup came with a baby cockroach. The main dish gravy came with a black ant in it. I wish the management would invest on hygiene and basic staff training like they have done on the fancy décor.

    Nestled on the picturesque banks of Dal Lake, Fat Panda is a culinary gem that beckons food enthusiasts with its delightful offerings. I recently indulged in the culinary symphony orchestrated by this charming restaurant, opting for the Lamb Fried Rice and Dragon Chicken, accompanied by a comforting cup of coffee. The Lamb Fried Rice, a harmonious blend of succulent lamb pieces and perfectly cooked rice, transcended the ordinary, leaving my taste buds in awe. Each bite was a journey through layers of flavor, showcasing the culinary prowess of the chefs at Fat Panda. The fragrant aroma of the dish lingered, enhancing the overall dining experience. The Dragon Chicken, a fiery dance of flavors, captivated my palate with its bold combination of spices and tender chicken. The dish struck a perfect balance between heat and savory goodness, offering a culinary adventure that left me craving for more. The presentation was as impressive as the taste, reflecting the attention to detail that defines Fat Panda's culinary philosophy. To complement the savory delights, I savored a well-brewed cup of coffee that added a comforting touch to the meal. The rich and robust notes of the coffee served as a delightful conclusion to an already stellar dining experience. Beyond the exceptional food, the ambiance of Fat Panda is a visual feast in itself. The lakeside setting provides a serene backdrop, creating an atmosphere that elevates the dining experience. The attentive and friendly staff further contribute to the welcoming aura, ensuring that patrons feel not just like customers but cherished guests. In conclusion, a visit to Fat Panda is not merely a culinary outing; it's a gastronomic journey that transcends expectations. The Lamb Fried Rice, Dragon Chicken, and the overall dining experience left an indelible mark on my palate, making a compelling case for why everyone should venture to this charming lakeside cafe. Fat Panda is undoubtedly a must-visit destination for those seeking a delightful fusion of flavors amidst a tranquil and inviting setting. Thanks a lot for having us team Fat Panda.

    Instagram worthy cafe serving awesome food. They have friendly staff. Try their basil dumplings. A huge stuffed panda greets guests at the entrance. Kids are obsessed with it.

    Situated on the banks of Dal Lake, this Oriental restaurant doesn't really give you a view of the lake, but you won't miss it at all. The food is incredibly tasty - the Teriyaki Chicken Wings and Pot Rice were better than any I've had for a long time. They have quite a tempting array of mocktails too - we had the Blueberry Mojito. There wasn't much waiting for our order, even though the food was freshly prepared - the serving staff were quick and attentive. The owner seems to be a rock music buff, and it reflects in the playlist - in the space of an hour, we listened to the Scorpions, CCR, Bryan Adams and more. Definitely a treat for all the senses!

    The Fat Panda Restaurant is an excellent dining option that is well-maintained and perfect for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Despite serving non-vegetarian food, the restaurant does an excellent job of ensuring there is no bad smell that could bother vegetarian diners. In fact, their vegetarian options are tasty and worth trying. Interior of restaurant is also modern and clean. While the cost of dining at the Fat Panda Restaurant is slightly on the higher side, it is still within reason and worth the extra expense. It's an ideal spot for couples and the younger generation to enjoy a delicious meal together. Overall, the Fat Panda Restaurant is a fantastic dining destination that caters to all preferences, offering delectable food and a pleasant ambiance. Whether you're a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian, this restaurant is worth checking out.
