Why Travelers Love Lost Heaven
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Went with my vegetarian friend on a casual dinner. For a Michelin star restaurant we got a table by just walking in. The staff was helpful despite not being comfortable speaking English. The atmosphere is great. My vegetarian friend found plenty of options and i was happy with non-veg options. The Mapu Tofu and lamb samosas are a must to try. Highly recommended. We had lunch here to celebrate the end of our business trip. The place was big with a lot of tables. There were a lot of people eating but only about half was occupied. It was also a bit dark for me...the color of the furniture as well as the lighting inside the restaurant. The food was very good and different from the usual ones we see in most Chinese restaurants. The prices were a bit on the high side but still reasonable. Service was OK. Overall, a very good dining experience. Walked in with no booking on 2 different occasions. Great vegan options and staff are knowledgeable on ingredients. Delicious cocktails. I recommend the spring rolls, papaya salad, friend rice (vegan on request) and mapo tofu.

A truly extraordinary restaurant. The interior is wonderful and successfully accompanies the foods Southwestern Asian origins. It is rather on the expensive side, and the waiters overcharged us for water, keep an eye out for the prices of drinks… Apart from that it is a must visit when in Shanghai, arriving around 2pm without a booking on a weekday, there were plenty of tables empty. There were some private dining rooms available, with spinning tabletops and exclusive decor. It is accompanied by a coffee shop on the floor below, which dies NOT carry the same atmosphere.

We walked 30 mins to try this place and it turned out to be one of the best places we ate at in Shanghai. Beautiful decor, great atmosphere, and delicious food. The restaurant was busy but we got a seat straight away and the staff were great. Like typical Brits, we got the sweat and sour chicken style dish, and it was amazing - spicy, sweet, crispy, juicy. Highly recommend you try this place.
