It's not a restaurant but a dining experience! The chef deserves a lot of credit for putting in the efforts. You can feel the love and passion in each and every dish, right from starters to desserts! Take a bite of any dish and let your taste buds relish the flavors - and am not exaggerating! The food plating is very attractive and the preparation is speechless.
Do visit this awesome restaurant and you can thank me later.. :D
Pandora Gastronomy & Bar has been talk of the town for their amazing menu & the best desserts ! I was so excited to try the food here & I was not disappointed at all. The place is two floored & has an outside seating area as well. The dim lights give it the perfect evening setup to enjoy your dinner peacefully & makes it one of the best places in Pune for date nights♥️
Coming to food, I tried the following dishes :
5 minute gastronomy :
Masala Liver Plate :
I am not a fan of liver but this dish was really great as the texture as properly done.It had a medium spicy flavour & the blend of spices used made this dish stand out!
Citrus Bhel :
A twist to our desi bhel with citrus fruits was amazing ! This bhel perfectly justifies five minute gastronomy & was very fresh in taste.
Soup:
Spiced Canton Broth :
The taste touched my soul ! This soup is the best comfort you could wish for ♥️ The broth has so many different flavours in it which made it so amazing !
Salads :
Som Tam Chicken Salad :
This unripe papaya finely shredded and made to perfection which had prominently sour taste was really different from the salads we normally have. The chicken was also very well marinated & it complimented the salad really well.#HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Starters :
Gnocchi Salt & Pepper :
Gnocchi never tasted so heavenly ! It had a very soft texture & simple ingredients like salt & pepper made it taste so subtle but something really unique.I am coming back to try this again ♥️#HIGHLYRECOMMENDED
Chicken Cafreal :
You don't easily get chicken cafreal in Pune & so I was delighted they have this in their menu. This Goan dish did fill justice to the green marination & is a must try dish for all chicken lovers ♥️
Honey Chilly Lotus Roots :
Another masterpiece of Pandora ! Crispy, Sticky & balanced sweetness is the best definition of how honey chilly lotus should be. Really delicious !
Hot Bean Prawn Rocks :
This starter had king prawns which had a sweet taste and I loved their crispy texture ! They had a hint of bbq flavour & the quantity was too much !
Tandoori Soya Chaap :
The tandoori marination was actually great but it stayed only on the surface & the dish would have been much better if the inner layers could get that marination taste too.
Mains :
Saffron & Prawn Rissoto :
The risotto was cooked to perfection and had a overall creamy taste. I loved this dish a lot as it was subtle & one of the best comfort food anyone can opt for ♥️#HIGHLYRECOMMENDED
Sri Lankan Curry Veg :
The curry was stocked up with so many vegetables which gave it a really rich flavour. The curry went perfectly well with the rice & this was my favourite among the all other mains dishes ♥️ #HIGHLYRECOMMENDED
Dum ka Murg :
This had a creamy taste to it & I personally did not like my chicken curry sweet, so it was a turn off for me.
Nalli Nihari :
When you are in Pandora you have to try this dish ! Great taste, perfect consistency & the spices used at so well balanced & blended ♥️ Really loved it !
Desserts :
Rose Phirni Parfait :
Pandora's signature dessert was something I was looking forward to ! The phirni is severed in a cocktail glass with rose dipped in dry ice & then crushed over the phirni 😍 The taste was light with not too much sweetness & I really loved this rose version of the classic phirni ♥️
Hazelnut and salted caramel moelleux :
Now I know why the desserts here are so talked about ! The presentation of this dessert was one of a kind & I have never seen anything so beautifully presented ! The moelleux was very sinful & made with one of the best chocolate I have ever tasted ♥️ #HIGHLYRECOMMENDED
The food experience at Pandora was really a class apart & the service here is also really quick & good. This place has to be in your checklist of places to turn in Pune !
