    China Gate launches ‘Ladka Nikal Gaya Hai!’ campaign

    Mumbai: China Gate, a well-known Chinese restaurant since 1993, has launched the new campaign “Ladka Nikal Gaya Hai,” offering customers a flat 25 per cent discount when ordering directly through the China Gate app. Additionally, orders over ₹1249 and ₹2500 come with complimentary in-house cookies and chef’s special schezwan sauce, respectively. This campaign invites patrons to reminisce about the past when calling restaurants for delivery updates. The phrase indicates that the delivery boy is on the way, ensuring timely delivery of authentic Chinese cuisine.

    Recognized for its authentic cuisine and exceptional service, China Gate has locations in Worli, Bandra, Juhu, Andheri, MIDC, and Chembur, making it a popular destination for those seeking genuine Chinese food. Its home delivery service has gained popularity, allowing customers to enjoy meals at home. This initiative provides a convenient option for home delivery at significant savings compared to the maximum ₹120 discount offered by other online aggregators. 

    Over the years, China Gate has earned numerous awards including the prestigious Times Food and Nightlife Award, the esteemed Burmawala Awards, and recognition as the Best Chinese Restaurant. Additionally, it has been a favorite among diners, securing the Zomato User’s Choice Award.

    Under Krishna Tamang’s leadership, founder of China Gate, the brand has expanded its presence, maintaining a consistent commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. As part of the China Gate Group of Restaurants, which operates nine distinct restaurant brands in Mumbai, China Gate has established itself as a go-to destination for authentic Chinese cuisine with Kung Pao Chicken, sizzling Schezwan Noodles, crispy Manchurian and Thread Paneer as their best sellers. With a loyal following and a rich history, it has become an integral part of Mumbai’s culinary hub.

    Speaking about the brand and its newly launched campaign, China Gate Group director Ankit Tamang shared, “Our new campaign ‘Ladka Nikal Gaya Hai’, reflects more than just a catchy phrase–it’s a promise of quality and speed. In today’s fast-paced world, we understand that our customers value not only the taste of our authentic Chinese cuisine but also the convenience and reliability of quick delivery.”

    He further added, “The thought behind this campaign is simple: when you hear ‘Ladka Nikal Gaya Hai’, you can be rest assured that your food is on its way, prepared fresh and delivered with care. We launched this campaign because we believe that a great meal should come with great service. We promise that from the moment our delivery boy steps out, you’re moments away from enjoying the flavors of China, right in the comfort of your home.”

  • SC stays J&K HC order to not prohibit outside food in theatre

    SC stays J&K HC order to not prohibit outside food in theatre

    MUMBAI: The Supreme Court has stayed a direction issued by the Jammu and Kashmir High Court to the multiplexes/cinema hall owners of the state not to prohibit cinema goers/viewers from carrying their own food articles and water inside the theatre, as per a report by the Indian Express.

    The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir passed the order on 18 July 2018 after which the Multiplex Association of India (MAI) filed a special leave petition before the Supreme Court of India against the same.

    The matter was listed for hearing on 10 August 2018, before a bench comprising of justice R F Nariman and justice Indu Malhotra with senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi representing the MAI.

    MAI president Deepak Asher said “We are satisfied by the interim direction of the Supreme Court of India, staying the above order of the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir. We have always maintained that allowing patrons to bring in their own food and beverages inside cinema theatres, besides infringing upon the fundamental rights of multiplex and cinema operators to carry on business, and being violative of the contractual agreement between the patron and the cinema operator, has serious implications for safety and security, as well as health and hygiene. The stay granted by the Supreme Court reinforces the established business practice followed by cinemas across the world and also similar practices followed by other establishments and businesses like amusement parks, entertainment centres, sports stadia, restaurants, hotels, etc.”

    In addition, two other special leave petitions were filed before the Supreme Court of India by G S Malls Private Ltd and KC Theatre against the same order passed by the High Court, which were also heard along with the petition filed on behalf of MAI. Senior counsel Abhishek Singhvi represented G S Malls. A similar order has been passed in these two petitions as well.
