When I'm not working as a software developer, I enjoy tennis, motor racing, listening to Manic Street Preachers, drinking beer, nice food.

Oriental City is situated on Edgawre Road in Colindale, next to Asda. The complex comprises of mainly eating places where you can order from a large selection of Oriental food, including Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Singapore and so on. Once you order, you sit down and wait for your order to be called out and go over to pick up the food. The food is of an excellent standard - my favourite is Malaysian. The prices are also very good. I tend to go for a Chinese Pasta for starters from the Dim Sum place and then go for a main course from the Malaysian place. This would cost me roughly £7 which represents excellent value.
Of course, if you want a waiter/waitress service there are a couple of restaurants that you can go to - one small one downstairs and a larger one upstairs. The standard of service is up to scratch, food is excellent and prices are very good too. These restaurants are very popular though so expect to queue up for up to half an hour for a table.
Also inside are a few shops on the ground floor selling a variety of Oriental goods (furniture, clothes, books) and food. There is also a supermarket where you can purchase anything from Chinese Tea to rice cookers. I do find the supermarket a little expensive in comparison with your usual Tescos and Sainsburys but it is a good source for items not available in Tescos and others.
Overall I think this is an excellent place for the lover of Chinese food.
