Chinese cuisine collides head on with Indian flavor and style! Indian-Hakka style cuisine originated from southeastern regions of China and has since then been perfected in India where the approach of cooking is similar to traditional Chinese cooking but with a spicy kick!
The results of this unique blend of cultures is a great variety of spicy or non spicy platters and includes a great selection of vegetarian dishes served up with generous portions that will satisfy your cravings. Though takeout seems to be the popular mode of clientele (10% off) Lin Garden provides a quaint 70’s décor eating atmosphere with attentive and friendly service. Lin Garden is a gem of a restaurant that will work hard to satisfy your hunger without hurting your wallet.

The chicken pakora is a must!
The Manchurian chicken was too spicy for me.
The food is good but the waiting times are outrageous – well over 1 hour on Friday evenings!
Also, the owner who just sits behind the counter is pretty rude. I asked for a receipt (which they never provide) and he looked at me like I had 2 heads. I insisted, and finally got the receipt, after another 10 minutes.
Ha!
I just had Lin Garden tonight! The owners were a bit sleepy and timid but they weren’t rude at all. I think they do get a bit flustered when it gets really busy (Fridays).
Do you call ahead with your take-out order or do you place your order when you get there?
At times the Chicken Pakora is deadly (spicy)but I still love my Chilli Chicken!
