}}Nelson Wang (born 1950) is an Indian restaurateur of Chinese descent and the founder of a restaurant in Mumbai's Kemps Corner neighbourhood.[2][3] Various sources credit him with the invention of the popular Indian/Chinese dish "Chicken Manchurian".[4]

Personal life

Wang was born in Kolkata.[5] He is the son of a Chinese immigrant.[3] However, within a few days of his birth, his father died, and he was sent to live with a foster family by his mother. His foster father was a chef, to whom Wang attributes his own love of cooking.[2]

Early career

Wang came to Mumbai in 1974, with just ₹27 in his pocket.[6] His first job there was in a small restaurant in Colaba.[5] He also worked a variety of other odd jobs, including being a limbo dancer, at which he claims to be skilled.[3] According to Wang himself, he was a cook at the Cricket Club of India, when in 1975, a customer asked him to create a new dish, different from what was available on the menu.[3] He started by taking the basic ingredients of an Indian dish, namely chopped garlic, ginger, and green chilis; but next, instead of adding garam masala, he put in soy sauce instead, followed by cornstarch and the chicken itself; the result was Chicken Manchurian.[7]

China Garden

Wang branched out from his job at the CCI in 1983 to start his own restaurant.[6] His restaurant gained popularity, and won various awards proclaiming it "India's best restaurant".[5] He and his son Eddie would go on to open several restaurants in various parts of India, including Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Pune and Goa.[3] The restaurant encountered trouble in 1999, when a court ordered him to close it for violating Coastal Regulation Zone rules about building floor area, in a case that took more than fourteen years. A Rediff columnist criticised the ruling as making "no sense".[5][8] He reopened the restaurant at the Crossroads Mall in August 2000.[9]
