Review Pandora Gastronomy & Bar

Gagan Shinde

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 !

Pandora Gastronomy & Bar- Located at Nyati Unitree in Yerwada offers multi-cuisine menu and every dish is served with a innovative twist.The ambiance of this place is amazing. It has indoor seating arrangement with a bar on side and outdoor seating arrangement where you can enjoy your meal peacefully. Staff was courteous and friendly. Coming to food, we ordered: Masala chicken liver pate: Chicken liver pate infused with indian spices served with pineapple chutney and crispy cumin toast on side. The presentation of this dish was beautiful. Malabar tarts: Mini tarts stuffed with tender, succulent chunks of spicy chicken made in indian spices, cream cheese fondue and topped with curry leaf. It was full of flavour. Mayhem veg fries: Potato fries topped with melted cheese, caramelized onion, jalapeno and sprinkled with chopped coriander. Portion size of fries was huge. It was tasty. Spicy bean sliders: Spicy bean patty, lettuce, onion, tomato, cheese served between grilled buns with cherry tomato on top and served with potato fries and salad. Garlic bread: Garlic bread was good but was slightly undercooked in middle. Overall, it was a lovely experience.

Pandora is one the places where you can sit back and relax with an amazing Live music on Wednesday evenings with your loved ones. It's not just the music you will love but you will go Maama Mia over the food served. I had a amazing Wednesday evening with my friends and loved the food there. I'm surely planning a next visit ...

Tucked into a corner of the Nyati Unitree building, on nagar road, this place is full of colors and great music, you can chill here with friends or family, they are constantly trying all kinds of music to please their customers. FOOD is good, creative menu with unique items, I tried something called the broccoli galouti, mashed broccoli cooked in tandoor, topped with mint chutney, and onion.. It's like a flavor bomb for your taste buds. The fries were so crispy, you could hear the crunch when biting into it. SERVICE is great, the waiters are well trained and courteous, the host Mr. Ashutosh, is a pleasant and lively presence at this place, he's always taking his customers input to make things better. AMBIENCE is contemporary, modern and colorful, they have both inside and outside seating. Outside seating is quite nice on a pleasant day, not very crowded and plenty of privacy. The DJ is awesome, he was playing some contemporary tracks, to really get you in the mood. They are also open to private parties and group celebrations or events. So go on and try this the next time you're planning to try a different place and meet some different people.

The private setting of this place makes it a perfect place for a nice dinner date. The food is awesome and the service is great. Would suggest going on a weekday. Wait till the end for their mouth sweetener... it will leave an icy taste 😛😉

Kapil Kumawat

Amazing fine dine place. Every dish is a masterpiece. Perfect combination of ambience, service, taste, presentation and innovation. One of the best places to eat desserts.

Jasveen Kaur

Amazing experience!! Though the ambiance is ok ok but the food and the concept is so creative...loved each and every item that was served on the table ...a must go!!! It’s near the nayati building in Yerwada...you can locate it through maps!!! A new place and a must visit!!! Full of surprises and concepts!

Recommendation - The deserts are amazing and a must must try but here are a few of my top favorite Spiced Canton Broth - Chicken Malasa chicken liver pattern Gnocchi ala Funghi Cutting chai ice cream Kafirlime ice cream Gajar Halwa Boreks Hazelnut & Salted Caramel Molleux Phirni Parfait Food 4.5 Ambiance 10/5 Service 10/5 Pandora Gastronomy & Bar was a delight ... I will only post about a few dishes I really liked cause the menu was vast and decribing each one wud be extensive. 🌼 Gajar Halwa Boreks Aaj ka Gyan ... "Gajar ka halwa aur jawani ka jalwa. Hosh uda deta hai " - totally stolen from the internet but it describes how I felt about this gastronomical dish GAJAR HALWA BOREKS.. Why do I say gastronomical cause the icecream that u see in the background is what made the cherry on top mind blowing desert into something that I've never tasted before ... That icecream there that's a FOUR CHEESE ICECREAM WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE CRUMBLE ... I am definitely shouting out this dish in caps cause that's how amazing it was. The sweetness of the HALWA was subtly cut through by that four cheese icecream.. I cud eat a tub of that icecream alone. Not only was this desert nostalgic and full of flavour it was also a window into what a gastronomical invention would taste like and how innovative our dishes can get for an adaptive Indian palate. 🌼 Cutting Chai Ice cream The heart says #chai the mind says #icecream and the weather definitely says both ... Your problems can be solved said {uid:50610428} and came up with and icecream which has every indians first love #cuttingchai... It takes a bad cup of tea to make a great chai ice cream said the chef and I could not be any happier. A self proclaimed chai addict I dint let this one out of my sight ... Beautiful taste and an amazing texture couldn't imagine "A dream came true" it was meant to be .. ♥️ The cutting chai ice cream at @pandorapune is a must try. 🌼Gnocchi Ala Funghi I have always admired the art of making gnocchi always looked easy but I am sure this is not so. The potato gnocchi at Pandora was a delight on my taste buds and so delicious that I ended up having the whole dish to myself .. A must try at Pandora Pandora has not only visually seduced me but has taken my taste buds on a sensual experience and I thank the team for sending me an invite and allowing me to be a part of this gastronomic journey.

Ambience: Pandora Pune has a lovely ambience which sets up the tone for lovely time you spend here. It contains an alfresco, lower and upper lounge. Ideal for date nights, corporate \ family meetups. Delectable Food: Chef Vikrant Naidu is a magician. With his expertise in Indian contemporary cuisine combined with western prowess and attention to details whatever comes out of the kitchen of Pandora Pune is truly magical. More on this later. Service: Prashaant and Ayank (owners of Pandora, Pune) have got this part on point. The staff is well trained and pretty responsive to whatever customisation requests you throw at them. Ease of travel: You don’t need to Travel all the way to Koregaon Park or Viman Nagar to visit a splendid place. Just until Yerwada is enough. As a result you avoid traffic and the ample parking space takes away the other worry as well. Check out the location below. Special Attraction: If you are planning a mid-week relaxation session, do not miss the live music on every Wednesday. The experience is truly scintillating.

Abhishek Desai

The food here specially the starters were very tasty. Would have loved it more if it was more in quantity. No complaints regarding quality though. Perfect place for romantic dinner or hangout with friends.

Aleesha Gupta

The food here is absolutely tasty and the ambience is also very good. The menu offers a variety to try. In all, the experience was good and it was a good place. Would recommend to try this place atleast once.

Shubhadeep Das

Loved this! Perfect getaway for couples. Is quiet and with slow live music this place becomes ideal for dating. Loved the way they have turned a small corner into such a nice small restuarant. Food was 4/5 don't expect exception quality. Go here for a quality conversation.

FitFoodieMegha

The restaurant is located in the ground floor of Niyati Unitree, Yerwada. The rustic, raw, geometric patterns and shades of grey surely make the interiors appealing. Indoor and Outdoor seating is available to enjoy a quaint meal. Parking is available in the buildinf itself. The modern food menu is designed by Chef Ajay Chopra whose experience and culinary creativity is evident in the dishes served. Crusty Puneri Misal, Gnocchi, Risotto, Sri Lankan Curry, Malabar Parotha, Phirni Parfait, and Hazenul and Salted Caramel Moelleux was one of the best chocolate desserts I had in recent times.

Kewal Prakash

Authentic taste and very nice menu. Taste is amazing and dishes and the cutlery is high class. Quiet place where you can enjoy food and conversation. Staff is also very helpful and attentive.

Tiyash Majumdar

'Gastronomy' is a popular term these days, used widely by a lot of restaurants and pubs. Unfortunately, most of them fail to do justice to it; they don't even come close. But this is one of those few places who actually mean it, in it's true sense. Their entire menu was a delicious affair but the barbecued pork ribs were the best I've ever had.. those were crazy good! My mouth is watering even as I'm writing about them. And have to mention the layered chocolate dessert as well.. a must-try for any chocoholic. It's a real shame they closed down.. waiting for them to get back in business!

Chaitanya Potdar

Had visited this place on my Birthday. The ambience here is very good. We had:- Kaffir Lime Chicken Tikka: Kaffir lime flavoured chicken tikka topped with chutney. The chicken was well cooked and tasted really good. Crispy Honey Chilli Lotus Root:- Crispy lotus root in a honey chilly glaze. The presentation of this dish was really nice and taste wise too it was good.

Sindhu Murali

We visited this place on my birthday. What a menu! So differently made and Flavorful. The food was amazing and the portions were more than good for 2. I couldn't try the dessert menu as there was a communication confusion between the facilitator and self, hence had to leave half hearted. But the food we had was superb!!

Neha Chaudhary

This place isn’t the best. It’s less known and food wasn’t that great. The drinks were also sub par. The staff and service is good but the vibe of the place isn’t what I was expecting.

Shweta Rathi

Good classy place with very good variety in cocktails . The starter that were suggested to us were not at all great . It’s a little expensive place as well. Though like the concept and the way they serve there food.

Mayuresh Bhairavkar

Pandora is located in Nyati, yerawada... one the quite and peaceful places... food is very well crafted and presented.... loved to be at this place.. ...

Tulika Anand

I’ve heard this place is moving to some other location however as long as it’s open here the service can not be sub-par. There is no excuse for bad service.The staff was least interested and serving like it’s a favour. The pasta I ordered took one hour to come. Not okay. It’s surprising because I’ve been here before and it used to be good.

We went at Pandora’s for lunch on 25th April Thursday.. I used to love this place for their uniqueness and good choice of menu. This time it was big disappointment much of the menu items was not available and the waiters did not know much of the dishes. I hope they come back to what it was before.. all the best

Darshan R

This review is for the fraud of Zomato Gold along with that of Pandora. Zomato Gold has been extremely fraudulent in terms of selling its membership...Pandora, to that extent, is fooling its customers in inviting them over 2+2, alas only for 30ml. Expensive place, with lots of mosquitoes !

Poushali S

I was super excited to visit this place and all my excitement was not waste. This place is gem when it comes to service and food/drinks. I think ive had one of the best mules in town here. No diluted cocktails here so experiement your way. Words fall short for the quality and quantity of food here. Varied range of food catering to all taste buds and each well done to perfection. More review of food and drinks and food pics on my insta page bongfoodie101 You won't regret this place.

Aarti Jhingon

Lemme start by saying What Amazing Food! I reached the place early afternoon on a Saturday and had the place practically to myself. The cocktails were delicious and refreshing.. it was an appetizer lunch for us and it's difficult to decide which of the 6 we ordered was my favorite! Fun presentation of food.. the place isn't very happening on a Saturday afternoon, however the food makes up for everything.. Recommend: Citrus Bhel, Sali Boti Tarts, both the prawns starters.

Saumya Anand

I don’t understand how this place has 4.5 rating, in my personal experience the food was pathetic, I ordered a Belgian chocolate smoothie and they gave me choco chip, saying that this is all they have. I ordered a potato platter and it was extremely salty, and they say this is how the taste is.. Haha.. they didn’t have chilled beer, they offered pints which were at room temperature saying this is all they have.. Haha The staff was courteous and seems like they couldn’t do much about anything because that was all they had 😜

Manasi Kalyankar

Visitsd the place for lunch with my friends. The ambience is very classy and minimal and has a bright look . We started with the Stunner thats an amazing mocktail which has peach and orange , the drink was very refreshing. We also ordered the flat bread , ceasar salad with chicken, kababs which had a good amount of spice to it also a fish dish . The fish was soft and juicy n well cooked. Finally our dessert, 7 textures of chocolate... it actually gave a heavenly feeling in my mouth with all different flavours in it . I would surely visit the place again.

Binapani Hota

If you are a chocolate lover, this place is worth visit! Dishes are so beautifully served, you can drool over it. Textures of chocolate is a must try. We had Samak Mashvi, a dish prepared with grilled fish. Tarts are something you would have heard in sweet dish, but try here chicken tarts which are crispy and spicy as well. Good place to hangout with friends and family.

Amritesh Bakshi

I wish I could give this place 6 stars out of 5! It’s an amazing restaurant where everything is made tasty. The presentation, the taste, the quantity - everything is just perfect. Went their with my office colleagues and this place didn’t disappoint one bit. All the food on their menu is Instagram worthy! I could only take one - because rest got finished as it came. Service is amazing as well, staff is polite. Ambience is very organic, with plenty of sunlight. Food - I can’t stop thinking how yummy everything was. Mutton seekh, butter chicken (yeah, it’s great and I am from Delhi), whiskey sour, tiramisu, phirni, prawns - outta of the world! Highly recommended if you are around this place.

Anuj Chamaria Anuj Printart

Not expect an hand written invoice from them with service charge and GST tax being charged. This is a straight case of fraud and charging unnecessary GST. FOOD is also very bland and cannot expect anything better... they have a Mexican chicken which is really very good. I don't recommend this place to anyone. At one place where we pay GST which is being used for betterment of infrastructure and other & at other hand these pubs are charging GST on a hand written invoice.

Vivek Sethia

Overall Experience was good. Broccoli Galouti was a great dish. Puneri Misal and Textures of Chocolate were a bit on the heavier side. Given the hype Pandora has created, it can do Better.

Sharad Shevate

Pandora is located in Nyati Unitree in yerawada..Perfect place for team lunch, date night..dark themed ambience with music makes ur mood..pandora has two outdoor seatings and one indoor seating.. The food is good and had great lunch. Nice fusion of modern and traditional food..puneri thecha noodles are recommended..kulcha box is nice concept with food arriving non table in a traditional meal box..dilliwala butter chicken is yummy..highly recommended..

Alvira Shaikh

Lately I have observed an interesting phenomenon in the city, one of the top-notch restaurant in Pune with unique concept and a dark fancy area with an ideal gastro bar. The warm colours of the place promoted positive feels. Exceptionally comfortable furniture indoor as well as outdoor to sink into. The restaurant had soft lighting and peaceful music. Menu has been really inventive and is designed by the Masterchef Ajay Chopra. Every dish is simply remarkable and Creating flavor bites is the perfect accompaniment to creative plating as it enhanced the look and the taste buds. Here are some of Dishes I had, Mayhem fries- This Crispy french fries submerged in the rich, creamy lusciousness of spicy bbq chicken make this dish a gourmet’s delight. Lots of cheddar cheese added to it and the fries where cut in a different shape. Malabar Tarts- For the first time I had the tarts which was not filled with something sweet but too much of spicy chicken and sauces. Spicy malabar chicken tarts are highly recommended and one of my favs during the visit. Fried curry leaves enriched the taste very well with the spices of chicken. Grilled cafreal bites- Soft pieces of tender chicken enlaced in a marinade of fresh shallow coriander, freshly roasted spices and a touch of juicy vinegar. The cafreal bites were served in a skewers along with the tossed baby potatoes and cherry tomatoes. Kaeng Ped- This is a Thai dish, Red curry served with Jasmines flavoured rice. Thai Red Curry is a delicious balance between the spices of this paste and the sweetness of the cream. The spicy ness of the dish was added with the bird-eye chilles Mellow pieces of chicken easily chewable along with a few basil leaves which gave this dish a strong aroma. Kaffir Lime Chicken Tikka- Moist chicken and looks stunning sliced up. The marinated chicken gave it another depth of flavour. Tikka was served with a red chutney which was made up of tomatoes and onions. Smoked Chicken Flatbread- Like all the Flatbread, the base was good and crispier. Good quantity of cheese and smoked chicken pieces over the bread Textures of chocolate- This lavish chocolate dessert manages to be both extravagant and natural at the same time. A true celebration of chocolate in many shapes. This dish consisted of different textures from moist and soft to crisp one. Another favourite one from the overall dishes. Phirni Parftait- Instead of the Rose petals, rose syrup was added to the phirni. Taste wise it was good which also had the dice apples and rose pearls garnished on the top. A bit sweeter to my usual taste, overall a good twist with the seasonal fruit. Hazelnut and Salted Caramel Molleux- Looks so tempting, the dish has been so delicately presented. Burnt sugar crisps and hazelnut flavour mousse. The soft mousse and crisp bite of the wafer. This was my another favourite dishes in dessert. Thank you for hosting such an amazing hospitality.. Truly wonderful experience.

Vanita Patlan

I absolutely loved this place. Although we had to wait little for our table even though we booked via dineout. The service was delightful and prompt. The best thing about this place was their gastronomic food. Don’t except your food to be boring or dull with presentation. They ACE in presentation. LET ME TELL 5/5 items from their menu. Kafir lime chicken tikka; Soya chap; Trio paneer Tikka; quesadillas(veg/non-veg) both;Dal Makhni; Dili wala butter chicken;Chenna Kofta, They do serve signature desserts. Hazelnut&Salted caramel molleux 5/5. Now the items with average taste 3.5/5. Gnocchi salt and pepper; spring rolls ;Dimsums

Ajit Tiwari

Have been hearing a lot about this place for quite some time from colleagues and social media. The place has some decent rating son Zomato, so we decided to visit the place for team lunch on a weekday. The philosophy of gastronomical food has been in vogue for some time and Pandora is one of the additions to these restaurants. The decor is quite rustic, it has outside seating as well. The ambiance is good but I guess it will look excellent in the evening as I noticed massive JBL speaker at one corner which will probably make your eardrums go crazy with that decibel. Coming to the food, since their emphasis on the gastronomy, we were going to have really cool fusion food with some uber presentation, So we ordered: Mushroom and liquorice Stout- Came in a glass instead of a bowl, the taste was unique and nice. Spiced canton Broth - Veggies came in a bowl, and then they poured the broth on it. It has a certain spicey ingredient which lingered for some time. Crusty Puneri Misal- A well present dish with a good twist for a misal, the pav was filled with cheese and then poured the misal, it looked exquisite and the taste was amazing. Creamy tandoori Mushroom- It was just okay, I have had better than this. Crispy Honey Chilli Lotus Roots - It was good and the presentation was nice. Dimsums- These were great, perfectly steamed but the accompanying sauce was a little sweeter. Gnocchi Ala Fungi- This dish was a little on a bland side and the taste was relative, I didn't like it much. Burned Chilli and garlic Noodle- It was fantastic with a perfect blend of spices and soy sauce. Thai Green Curry with rice- This was a really good and they made is perfectly good. Hazelnut and salted caramel moelleux - An amazing deserts with hot chocolate and crispy hazelnuts. A perfect dish to end your food. I don't remember what my non-vegetarian friends ordered, but it was some fish and chicken, they liked it. A nice place to hang on with loved ones and relish some innovative food with fusions and good service.

Preeti Jandial Saha

sweetdish are out of the box. My fav here is prawns srilankan curry and rice, mutton, new chicken tikka on thr menu, mushrooms, lotus stem and many more.

Simran Thomas

Pandora, located in Yerawada is yet another great venture in the city that offers Modern Indian food. They have outdoor as well as indoor seating which is limited. Pandora offers some amazing food and which will leave you wanting for some more. So here's what I tried: 1. Crispy Honey Chilli Lotus Root (5/5): Lotus Root stir fried in honey chilli sauce. Good presentation. The sauce was good, not too sweet. Was reluctant to order this at first as I wasn't keen on the concept on lotus root. But mind you, it was amazing. You won't even understand it's lotus. Highly Recommended. 2. Hot Bean Prawn Rocks (4.5/5): The sauce was quite similar to the Lotus root. Prawns were cooked well. Taste was great. Just had one issue which was that the prawns were fried to such an extent that the outer layer became hard after a point making it difficult to eat. Otherwise Recommended. 3. Dilliwali Butter Chicken (4.5/5): Who says no to Butter chicken! It was creamy, rich, delicious. Coudn't stop licking it clean ;) Recommended. 4. Veg Sri Lankan Curry (5/5): A coconut-milk based yellow curry served with some cabbage coconut rice. Yum yum yum. Liked it better than the chicken. The curry was so goood and very well complemented with the rice. This is first time I had such a combination of cabbage and coconut in rice. (Was almost like a cabbage thoran in rice)Highly Recommended. 5. Cutting Chai Ice cream (4.5/5): Chai flavoured ice cream. I had hints of cardomom, tea and all the flavours of a traditional Indian Masala chai. Was served with a tuile and some crumb to emulate a biscuit typically had with chai. The popcorn coated with white chocolate could be avoided as it got soggy and stuck to the teeth. Highly Recommended. To sum it up, Pandora is a great place for some Modern Indian food. The food is just delicious complemented by good interiors. Service is good. Good for a one time visit as it is not so light on the pocket. Must visit once.

Hemant Dusane

Amazing place to hangout with friends and family. Has nice set of menus and options. Hotel staff are humble and polite. Must visit place if you are around this area.

Radhika Bagdai

Anazingggggg place for fusion food👍👍👍 must eat crusty puneri misal and garlic Rice bowl🍚 Quiet and secluded place although being on one of the busiest road.

PRAKASH WANI

Took a long time for service. Took 45 mins to serve a starter. Also added 2 extra beers which we didn't ordered. Very pathetic service. Will not recommend to visit. A raod side food stall has better service than this. And very expensive as well.

Ketty

I have been to this place few times now, it's a great place for those who love new taste, new presentations n are open for adventure. I am a fan of their continental foods n deserts. Not a fan of Indian or Asian fusion foods. For Asian food they need to work on portion size and taste... It's either too blen or too spicy...but for rest of the dishes like 🥪,🍔, 🥗,🍲,🍝&🍰 I will stay a regular!

Kuntal Ganguly

The place is pricey to begin with, but is also worth the investment. The outlet has both indoor and outdoor seating space and is considerably comfortable. The ambiance is pretty good given that they care about cleanliness and the music does not make you feel nauseous while enjoying a relaxing time. The food is pretty good and is served with a touch of uniqueness. The Caesar Salad, served in an edible crust, was a fine beginning to the evening. The prawns risotto was nicely prepared with the rice cooked to a perfect texture. As for the dessert, the hazelnut caramel rolleux was a revelation. But two items were messed up due to which I couldn't rate this place even higher. The pork dimsums turned out to be a weird combination of taste and were very chewy and underseasoned. Also, the mojito I ordered was watermelon and basil, but was served a regular one. Apart from these couple of glitches, the restaurant was up to the mark in most of the other parameters. It is definitely recommended for a cozy time amongst friends and family.

Vishal Tomar

It's a great place for good food with excellent ambiance and service. Little pricey though. The menu is comfortably off beat and interesting. Come here to entertain your tastebuds with fusion of different flavours and cuisines. Cheers!

Khush Shaikh Samina

If you are looking for something sweet yet light with a hint of the exotic, then this dessert is for you. That’s exactly what I craved one day. I knew phirni fit the bill perfectly..... dessert wid toppings of rose petals ,,,

Sujay Jaju

Fab fusion food and a nice hip little joint. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The staff was friendly and they had live music ... the place has great vibes!

Vijay Krishnan

We went there for lunch and i admit it was a good experience good food, fast service and total attention towards the customers. Must visit place

Prathmesh Pudke

Great service, delectable food and peaceful ambience. Surely visit next time and it’s perfect for a DATE NIGHT , they have outdoor sitting as well. I have ordered chicken spring roll, tarts, one bowl meal. And in drinks sangria and some coolers all where just out of this world man. I can’t forget the taste. Highly recommended, must visit Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambience 5/5

Nikhil Shinde

I still wonder why the name Pandora.... Anyways the food was great and thus Gastronomy actually suits in the title. The presentation and the blend of ingredients used was just commendable. We ordered for Five spice Lamb which was stole the show for the night. Garnished with picked egg while wonderful which on site looks like a mayo but surprises you when you try it. The greens surrounding it had almost a crisp texture as fresh as plucked from the a farm a while ago. The dressing which the greens had was too good to resist. There where also some secret caramalised nuts too which we eventually forgot to ask the chef about(management please do let me know the name). Then was the turn lovely crisp prawns which were cooked to perfection with balanced spices in the crust. Last was mutton seekh kebab which was beautifully presented not less than an ornament. The cocktails did not impress much and The Bailey's Cream did not had that "bae" in it. There was also a live singing going on who played wonderful numbers as the crowd demanded. Food 4.5* Ambience 3.5* Service 4* Value For Money 4*

Gandhar Deshpande

Ambience 4/5 Food 4/5 Hospitality 5/5 Average cost ₹800/person We visited this place for lunch, located in a busy commercial complex near Yerwda. The place looks pretty happening. I always wanted to visit this place after watching the photographs of the different menu options. Whatever you order just looks amazing, food presentation spot on! They have given special attention to the food presentation and it can be easily seen. Overall menu is a fusion of different cuisines. Hospitality was great and they were helping us in placing the order. Started with Double Lemon, superb blend of lemon grass, litchi, lime and vodka, a perfect drink for a sunny afternoon. Then we tried Malabar and Salli Boti tarts, small portion easy to eat and delicious. We also had Nizami roll, crispy honey chill lotus root, citrus Bhel creamy Tandoori Mushrooms. Honestly I would try any dish in the menu with even thinking. As always many more visits to come. One of the best joints in Pune.

food tasted average.. Even cocktails were okay.. Presentation was really good. Zomato Gold saved us with the drinks else I wouldn't have paid for that cocktails. Food was blend n cocktails were sweet.. 🙄😕

Ashutosh Dalal

Over hyped and seriously feel the ratings are “managed”. Food portions are too small. Had ordered prawns starter which was chart buster. Mutton sheek kebabs were damn dry and lacked spices. Main course- butter chicken was too good. Dal makhni was awesome but chenna kofte were tasteless. Ironically chenna kofte are hyped as best dishes. Breads- laccha paratha were good but nan were too chewy and flat. Service was most disappointing- very slow, had to call multiple times and servers weren’t attentive. It was not crowded so can’t discount the indifferent treatment. Seating arrangement isn’t comfortable. All in all, will not visit n won’t recommend. Not at all Value for Money. Certainly have better options around KP.

Neeraj Goidani

The ambience was good. The starter and the dessert- the melting chocolate ball was above average. Didn't like both the dishes(veg dumpling with paratha & a chicken dish) I ordered in my main course.

Ketan Patwardhan

I am usually not up for trying such off beat places but this one has a special place in my heart. It's not just the food or drinks that u get here but the way it's served is magnificent! I would like to explore this more by the time.

Pandora .. what a lovely place it is.. if you wanna try food- gasm.. you must land there .. Talking about food - starters is having different shades of taste like misal pav and bhel is amazing .. I personally like srilankan thai curry and the rice. Presentation was so lovely Ambience was quite friendly and soothing Overall excellent experience

On a weekday afternoons visited this place to discover their gastronomic food & drinks. As it was afternoon,it's obvious there won't be anyone in hostess desk. But it's quite surprising after seating & enquire inside restaurant it takes 20 mins to approach by a server. Though we went for real food & drink, ignored the same. Orders are food & drinks, first time order taker took wrong order & after a while other server came to take order. And irony is they don't have mutton , prawn & sea food dishes, because their vendor is unable to provide . Like really ?? Ordered from Their signature cocktails - - Peach Melba - it was a good mix of peach, vanilla syrup & vodka. Tasted bit sweeter,but might be for too much of syrup. - Elderfashioned - a nice jim beam based cocktail with elderflower & thyme. - Double lemon - litchi , lemon grass mixed with vodka,but there was no flavor of litchi, absolutely bland with just mix of lemon drop. There server was like it's made like this only. Cool enough. Food ordered - - Crusty Puneri misal - was a good dish with cheese sauce. It's not that misal what we get in other joints,but a regular one with cheese sauce. - Broccoli Galouti - it's smashed broccoli served with safron foam & ulte tawa paratha. It was just okaish - Soft shell crab - it's South Indian spiced tempura fried shell cab, it's nothing great as mentioned in menu . Overall not a very good experience,not as per expectation.bservice can be improved more so as server's.

Manvi

Utkarsh Upadhyay

Frankly speaking I visited this place after reading on internet that the menu is crafted by MasterChef Ajay Chopra and it did not disappoint me at all.I ordered citrus bhel , Aloo kachalu poppers, dal makhani box , laccha Parantha and a chocolate based desert (can't recall the exact name).Everything was delicious with exceptional presentation and fusion skills.Keep it up

Khushboo Agarwal

The staff is very polite and friendly, they are very welcoming. The ambience is serene and calm and aesthetic. It's a very colourful place, something that brightens you up. We tried the buffet, they have great varieties in their buffet menu, it's very cost effective. The dim-sum is very light to digest and tasty. In main course I loved the creamy, tasty dal makhani. One must go to this place once, it's highly recommended. One of my favorites. It's a delight to be here.

Ankita Singh

Awesome place. The food was super yummy and we had a great time. Tried the dessert on recommendation of the host and it was fabulous. Sure to visit again.

Meghna Sharma

Great fusion food you get out here. Ambience is pleasing as well. It is in Yerwada and very close to the Corporate hub. The service is also very nice. Loved the tuna bhel. Definitely looking forward to coming soon again.

Parul Singh

A 4.8, Pandora is an amazing getaway for a sunday dinner. Friendly staff, indoor and outdoor seating options, a candle light dinner right under the star lit sky is as romantic as it can get. We tried all vegetarian dishes. Starting with Gnocchi and Soya chap, I loved the dressing, presentation and taste of both, chap being my favourite. The nutella shake is usual. For main course we ordered Sri-Lankan curry and rice , it was a good change from usual panner and mushroom dishes. The chocolate surprise was one surprise worth waiting for, loved the dessert. All in all, a good place to try for a dinner date. My Ratings: Ambience:9/10 Staff:8.5/10 Food: 8.5/10 Interiors:8/10 Value for money: 8/10

Shubham Ingle

Paul

Excellent cocktails.The menu is designed by a celebrity chef. It is innovative. Portions can be slightly bigger but thats my view. It is good place to have some fusion indian food. Keep up the good work.

Anagha

Nice place. But a little overrated. The food served here is not exceptional, the skill is in the way it is served. Very presentable and it gains a lot of attention due to its aesthetic value :P great marketing skills ! Good ambience aswell

Amishi Shrey

The vibe of the place is just wowww!! Celebrated my friend’s birthday and the staff was courteous and warm to arrange candle sparkler with a happy birthday on request :) The food didn’t disappoint either ... Their Dal Makhni is one of the best I had in Pune Taste 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 4/5

Arjunsingh Gour

Service/Staff- Full marks, polite & co-operative staff especially when you are trying this place for the first time. Food- Taste is marvellous. Hot beans prawns & Dilliwala Butter Chicken are must try. Time to best visit this place- Evening! I would recommend to visit this place in Afternoon, if you and your partner wish to have calm and peaceful discussion over lunch.

Sunny Mane

Very good food and service. All the dishes we had were unique and amazing. Dimsums, Malabar Chicken Tarts and Srilankan Fish Curry and Rice were awesome.

Purvi

Heyyy Guys😇 So I ordered some lovely Pad Thai Noodles here and absolutely loved it. The quantity as you can see looks wholesome and it was delicious 🥰 The ambience is beautiful and the service is perfect 😊 Do visit and have a beautiful time !!

Himanshu

A plush experience. This was my third visit to the place, so the review is coming in after a long thought. Drinks: We ordered a 'Pandora LIIT' & ' Mexican Bulldog' ( this is available with k/f ultra too ). However the variants with K/F are always just for the menu ( pun intended ;-) ) I found the LIIT very light but the other one made upto it. Nonetheless, cocktails do the justice to the price & worth a try, nothing out of the world but yes, you will have some interesting combination to try out. Food: I really wanted to test their mettle, when they have such a cool name. Wanted to try 'Gnocchi salt & pepper' however it wasn't available that day , so I crossed my fingers and asked the staff for their recommendation. What came out was scrumptious ' Crispy Honey Chilli Lotus Root' . Fantastic blend of flavours, kudos to the staff. Ambience & service: Best suited for a fine dinner, lighting is amazing. They bring in some aroma to your table too. Nice idea indeed. You will definately appreciate the staff for their knowledge in food department. Keep up the good work.

Vidushi

This place is nothing short of a heavenly food-gasm. The interiors are warm and dark, and make for a perfect hangout spot for catching up with a mate or just for a relaxed dinner. I find the food here a perpetual delight; this place has never disappointed me in all my times here (yes, multiple. I like it a lot). We tried a whole lotta appetisers here, along with two main course dishes, and one dessert. We started with mutton tarts which were a good 4.5/10 with the perfectly soft and mushy tart fusionend with spicy roasted mutton filling. The flavours and spices of the mutton left quite an after spell till the next dish. Next, we tried the soya chaap, which were a mere 2.5/10. It was cooked well, however, it lacked the flavours. Or maybe it tasted a little bland due to the heavily spiced mutton tarts, either way, it didn’t strike my liking. Following the chaap, we were graced by the chicken quesadillas which were a 4/5 and had a spicy roasted chicken filling inside soft quesadilla wrap. This was then followed by the chicken tikka spring rolls which stole my heart with the perfect blend of crispy rolls with an Indian filling. I’d definitely rate them a 5/5. We moved on to the black pepper chicken dimsums which were cooked well, however, were stuffed with very bland filling. I’d not give this more than a 2.5/5 at any cost. We calmed our fiery pallets with their Belgian chocolate shakes and their strawberry cheesecake shake. The Belgian Chocolate Shake was a 3.5/5, the chocochips added a nice touch, but the strawberry cheesecake was nothing but a 1.5/5- it had no ‘cheesecake’ element and was topped with artificial strawberry syrups. For main course we had the dilli wala butter chicken which is honestly the best thing on their menu. It is SO AUTHENTIC and probably the only place with a good actual butter chicken gravy. Being a stereotypical Delhite, I love this dish and am 10/10 reminded of home. A big 5/5 to this dish. We also had their burnt garlic noodles which were so heavenly and spicy with just the right amount of veggies to satiate oneself. I’d def give it a 4/5. For desserts we had their textures of chocolate which was not just a delight to the eyes, but extremely satiating to the tummy. LOVED IT. The only downside to this place is that their preparation time is really high which can be very annoying for hungry people. Also, their service is slow and we had to keep asking for water till 20 mins of dining.

Radheya Kulkarni

I visited with 4 of my friends. The overall experience was really very good. Food was top notch with special mention for the presentation. The service that was provided was very good. The waiters, manager everyone else was very polite and cordial. Hot bean Prawn Sauce Gajar Halwa Korebs Thai Curry and Rice All these dishes were excellent.

Animesh Bagchi

Good food , good menu and good price. The food was really good. The ambience was also o.k nothing very exciting. However its recommended to visit at least once to get the feel.

Sujit

After reading so much about this resto we decided to visit. They have unique menu which is difficult to understand. We have to ask of each dish and it's explanation.we have simply ordered recommend food by service boy. All non veg dishes were good but veg food is not so good. All veg lovers this is not place for you. Those who like to have some different food please visit this restaurant. What we liked most is dish presentation. Test wise it's mix experience. Some dishesh were too good some were average.

Ramesh Jhajharia

Amazing food and amazing service. The staff is very cooperating and soft spoken. A fine dining experience with good food. Special thanks to Natasha and Abhishek.

Ankit Gupta

Great food and great service. We tried multiple items of which Veg noodles in main course and Gajar ka halwa cigars in deserts are must try.

The Bored Panda

Overall: 4.5/5 This experience was near perfect. We had an awesome time and hence rating it as 5. Ambience: 4.5/5 The ambience is such, that it'll steal your heart right at the outset. Mostly done in white, with low music, it made for a perfect romantic time. You will feel like swaying to their music with a glass of wine in your hand. The interior is again beautifully lightened and the bar too looks great. Food and Drinks: 5/5 We had small portions of Spanakopita and Tandoori Soya Chaap in Achaari marination. Both were mind blowing to the core. The layers in Spanakopita with a perfect balance taste of spinach and Feta cheese was a delight. The charred chilli dip it was served with made an awesome combination. The Soya Chaap was nicely grilled and was so flavorful in taste. We also gave a try to sort of fusion Gnocchi, going for the Salt and pepper variant instead of the regular Italian one. This was spiced up to the right levels and would leave you craving for more. Agua Fresca, Peche Melba, Greyhound were so very well prepared. Absolutely adored the mixologist at their bar. Hospitality: 4.5/5 The staff was so polite and well spoken. The orders were taken and served promptly. Absolute thumbs up in every aspect. RECOMMENDED big time!!

Ruchi Sharma

I am a very big fan of Chef Ajay Chopra. Since the tine I got to know that he is associated with Pandora, I was dying to visit this place and finalized this place for my birthday. Every corner of Pandora in my head screamed 'Elegance!' White interiors make this place look so regal. Even the aroma diffuser stands out! We had Peach Melba, the Berry Lilac, Agua Fresca and Pineapple Greyhound. The way mixologist was playing with the drinks with each drink being served in a different glass, to make sure the taste is enhanced and people enjoy the drinks was an art. The dishes were curated with equal efficiency. Soanakopita with charred chilli dip, soya chaap in achari marination (where plating reminded me of MasterChef logo) and gnocchi salt and pepper were all delicious. Service was prompt and staff was polite as well as well spoken. Thanks for making my birthday special!!

Omkar Desai

Pandora - The restaurant was long awaited in my bucket list and finally landed there. It is located at Nyati unitree yerawada with the indoor and outdoor seating arrangement. Outdoor is preferable when they are hosting a live music event. They do have an option for valet parking. I tried the following dishes:- Mocktail 1. Snowdrop :- The mocktail had a combination of peach, ginger and litchi flavour. It was amazing in taste. Recommended!! Starter 1. Broccoli Galouti :- A different kind of dish served with a portion of 3 units. The base was made up of ultey tawe ka paratha then topped with broccoli gallets. The top layer was of foam which was perfectly made that it looked liked a solidified unit. Kudos to the chef!! 2. Citrus Bhel :- Bhel was served with seasonal citrus fruit and dressed in sour cream and balsamic pearls. The overall presentation was impressive. A treat to eyes for sure. 3. Chilli Barbeque spare ribs:- Pork ribs were served with barbeque and chilli glaze, it was dressed with banana wafers. The meat was good in portion and had a nice taste. Somehow the meat was slightly chewy. Main course Srilankan curry veg:- The dish was served with rice and curry. Srilankan curry was thick and had a nice aroma. The rice was made up of cabbage and coconut(not sweet sticky rice). Overall a perfect combination of curry and rice!!! Recommended!! Dessert Textures of Chocolate:- A heaven dish for chocolate lovers. Recommended!!! Overall ratings: Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Hygiene: 5/5 VFM: 5/5. Pandora accepts zomato gold.

Srishti Nigam

It's a nice decent quite place. Friendly staff.. drinks are good! Good to gather around with friends.. the setup they do for good fragrance, is absolutely amazing!

Astha

This restaurant was in my list for a really long time and I finally made a visit . I went for dinner on a weekday so the place was really calm and quiet. The staff is very courteous and will treat you properly. I had broccoli Galouti kebab and they were my favorite tasted amazing with the ulta paratha. Also the crispy lotus sts were to die for. Pandora is famous for it's fusion food, it's a bit on the pricey side but everything served was worth the money. Should definitely visit!

Darryl

What can I say, we went here for our anniversary and the experience was totally worth it. The food is competitively priced and the drinks are the same. In particular we loved the Honey Chili Lotus Stem (ravaged on arrival so no pics) and the French Fries with Parmesan and truffle oil. Mains were the Sri Lankan prawn curry that is accompanied by cabbage and coconut rice (the rice itself has a khichdi like consistency). Also ordered the Bacon and carmelised onion flatbread. Desert was a Red Velvet Ice cream (basically Vanilla ice cream topped with red Velvet cake). Personally, I would have preferred if the red velvet cake was incorporated into the ice-cream itself, with maybe a drizzling of usual frosting made slightly more liquid. The Kafir lime ice-cream will blow your mind. And the theatrics that accompany the dish is awesome. Overall, I'd definitely visit here again and try some more stuff from their awesome menu!

Srishti Gupta

Too good ambience.. good for couples as well. D place is different from other bars ... D food has variety n the menu holds all sort of different dishes.... Must try

Neha Pandey

We went for a team dinner here and didn't enjoy any part of it. The food was okay, the ambience mediocre and the service was extremely slow.

Pooja Sashidhar

Ambience was beautiful and quiet. Food was good,Not exceptionally great. Overall it was an average experience. Not very satisfying... Loved the pindi chole. The Thai dish ordered was not perfect. Risotto was yumm The chocolate desert was ok. The good part was watching the chocolate ball melt! Lastly there was a lot of confusion over the zomato gold offer. Thus the low score!

Sara Nakamori

I have been with my friend on Saturday. Cocktails here are simply amazing! I tried 4 kind of cocktails and I loved all of these. Ambience here is not something really special but clean and nice.

Sweta Mantraratnam

I have been here few times but this time I had the best experience. We ordered Sri Lankan Curry, Butter Chicken which was sumptuous, full-flavoured. Also the desert Textures of chocolates is mind blowing.Must vist place.

Tarun Saxena

Pandora Gastronomy and Bar is located in Yerwada. It is easily visible from the main road. It was a long pending visit for me which came true a few days back. #Ambience The ambience is exquisite as the entrance charms you with the way the entire place has been illuminated. One can also see the beautiful plants as you step in. We initially have an outside area which is not completely covered, while an inside area as well where you have the bar. The colour scheme is a combination of white and blue which gives a Greek touch to the place. The decor of the inside area is also quite impressive and has pretty good vibes. #Service The service was really good and we were attended nicely. All our requests were taken care of. #Food We had the following items in starters- Tipore Paneer- This had paneer with crushed papad, rajasthani chilly and tipore cream. Burnt Garlic and Olives Paneer Tikka- It was quite bland and passable. Gongurra Paneer Tikka- This had the usage of gongura chilly paste and was my favourite in the paneer starters. Chipotle Paneer Tikka - This was also quite nice. Tamarind and Thai Chilly Mushroom- The mushroom was the best amongst veg starters. It was juicy and the flavour of tamarind and chilly created a magic. Ancho Chicken tikka- Chicken Tikka was good , but it could have been a little softer. The use of sour cream and the spices made for an amazing taste though. Balinese raw mango prawns- Best starter among all. The prawns were cooked to perfection and the marination was on point. Shish Taouk Skewers- These were also good and were liked by me. In the main course, we had the following Puneri Thecha Noodles- It was quite spicy, but lacked flavour. Pumpkin and sage risotto- It was not good at all. Bacon and Kimchi Fried Rice- This was good , but the quality and taste of rice could have been better. Peri Peri Chicken- This was also good In desserts, we had Strawberry and balsamic cheesecake and psychedellic orange, both of which didn't impress me at all. We also had some drinks which were nice, especially drunken guava. Taste- 3.5/5 Ambience- 4/5 VFM- 4/5 Service- 4/5 Quality- 4/5 Presentation- 4/5

Vidisha Kamat

One of my favorite restaurants in Pune 😍❤️ not only food but also the presentation is really good!! Quick service and super friendly staff . Definitely visiting this place again💯

Ankit Gupta

Amazing place.... Service is so good really appreciate and big thumbs up for that Coming to food we ordered Chicken tart which was simply awesome along with sweet lime cocktail that was also great in taste 😋😋 Later we started which pork ribs which was not cooked properly but we got it replaced with Steam chicken garlic rice that was perfect ending for us along with Beer cocktail which was ok okay Over all it was great experience and would definitely recommend to visit this place

Ashish Ghai

Dissatisfied with the food, specially for the kids. The staff is courteous and friendly but the food is a big disappointment. Would not be visiting soon.

Aditi Patil

This has to be one of my absolute favorites in Pune. I've tried a lot of items from the menu (meaty mostly), including Tuna Bhel, Chicken liver Pate' , Salli boti tarts, Malabar tarts, Hot bean prawn rock, kafir lime chicken, konkani prawn fritters, murtabak, chingri malai curry, Sri Lankan curry, Nalli Nihari and of course Pune's best butter chicken, phirni parfait, cutting chai ice cream to name a few. You must be wondering how come I tried such a wide variety, well that's because once you start coming here you simply cannot stop coming here. Their breads a just Art, be at the khamiri roti or the roomali. It's almost safe to say that whatever they make, they make it to perfection, like even the sol kadhi served with the konkani fritters was bang on with flavors. Murtabak was the only average dish, mostly because of my high expectations from this place. The reason I desperately wanted to try this Restaurant was Chef Ajay Chopra. I may not fan girl over any celebs, but I'm a huge fan when it comes to him. My only disappointment was that I never had the opportunity to meet him despite visiting so many times, especially since I've heard he comes here a lot ( I hope you are reading this Chef). All in all a must visit. You will definitely not be disappointed. Do try the items I've mentioned. May seem like I'm endorsing, but it's just too good and I'm such a fan girl !

The name Pandora—”all gifts”—in Hesiod’s version derives from the fact that she received gifts from all deities. Just like that Pandora who had all the gifts, this Pandora in Pune has got it all. Ambience: Pandora Pune has a lovely ambience which sets up the tone for lovely time you spend here. It contains an alfresco, lower and upper lounge. Ideal for date nights, corporate \ family meetups. Delectable Food: Chef Vikrant Naidu is a magician. With his expertise in Indian contemporary cuisine combined with western prowess and attention to details whatever comes out of the kitchen of Pandora Pune is truly magical. More on this later. Service: Prashaant and Ayank (owners of Pandora, Pune) have got this part on point. The staff is well trained and pretty responsive to whatever customisation requests you throw at them. Ease of travel: You don’t need to Travel all the way to Koregaon Park or Viman Nagar to visit a splendid place. Just until Yerwada is enough. As a result you avoid traffic and the ample parking space takes away the other worry as well. Check out the location below. Special Attraction: If you are planning a mid-week relaxation session, do not miss the live music on every Wednesday. The experience is truly scintillating. Pandora Bar, Inside seating Pandora Bar MOCK-TAILS Stunner: It is a citrus flavoured frozen drink with a mix of peach and garnished with orange slice. To be honest, I did not like it much. It was too sweet for my pallet and the ice shavings gave me a brain freeze. Fugitive: Made with fresh pomegranate , and mix of cranberry juice and kaffir lime. IMHO this was the best drink of the night. Grey Hound: Kaffir lime, pineapple juice & mixed with cherry syrup. I love pineapples. As a result I ended up gulping down two of these. Not very sweet but the playful taste of sweet and sour pineapple kept my taste buds tingling until the last sip. STARTERS Masala liver pate: Have you ever tasted meat which is so finely minced, that it just melts in your mouth? If yes you know how this dish is going to be. If not you must try this. Chicken liver infused with Indian spices and herbs to create a smooth texture and flavorful dish. Served with balsamic pearls and jelly. Arugula maple salad, Raddish and Carrot Ribbons to balance the taste. Barwal Soya Chaap: Soya Chaap is a new trend from the streets of Delhi. You will find it everywhere. Right from the street side thelas to the gourmet restaurants. This one is a delight for the chaap lovers. Spicy with a long-lasting aftertaste which will enhance the satisfying feeling of digging your teeth in the soft and luscious soya chunks. A contemporary Styled Indian inspired soya chap’s stuffed with chilli & cheese and marinated with lasooni marination to create a perfect taste and a surprising element on your plate. Ancho Chilli Chicken Tikka: a modern Indian take on a classic chicken tikka where the Mexican herbs and spices including ancho chilli is used to create our version of the modern Indian ancho chillies. Served with Indian Salsa Verde, sour cream & charred chilli coulis. Trio Paneer Tikka: Everyone loves a well made paneer tikka. But this modern touch to paneer tikka made us wonder about the advancement in the Indian culinary expertise. Panner tikka served with three different flavours consisting of chipotle from Mexico, gongura ( A plant, either Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) or Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) ) from South India and Malai from northern India. It is served with Tamarind, Mint and Roasted Garlic Chutney. MAINS Puneri Thecha Noodles: I am not a big fan of Noodles. I tasted it and it was a bit too spicy for my palette. It is a modern Indian take on the Asian cuisine where the noodles are toasted with a classic puneri thecha. Nalli Nihari: Nalli Nihari is a perfect main course. Tasty and tender meat served with thick and gooey Khameeri roti. I have a real soft spot for slow-cooked lamb shanks. I just love the look of a hunk of meltingly tender meat wrapped around the bone. Hits my carnivore sweet-spot, every time. DESSERTS Gajar Halwa Boreas: Crispy cream cheese and Gajar Halwa cigars served with cheese ice cream. Hazel and salted caramel moelleux: Burnt sugar crisps served with berry pearls. If you want something very sweet to end your meal, go for it. The pearls just linger around on your tongue leaving behind the long lasting sweet after taste. FINAL VERDICT Fine dining restaurants are all different but share similar characteristics: attention to detail, perfect execution, and exceptional service. Pandora nails all these areas. Today’s fine dining has evolved into an eclectic blend of cuisines and dining concepts, but some aspects that make fine dining, well, fine, are here to stay. You don’t need to face the traffic of Viman Nagar or Koregaon Park to experience these aspects. Now just head till Yerwada and experience the minimalism and exquisite offerings of Pandora.

Arghya Banerjee

Such an amazing place. It was more of an experience than just food and drinks. Staff was courteous and showed tremendous attention to detail. The food was amazing. The cocktails were delicious. Very content with the experience.

DD_the_food_critic

A quiet and lovely place in the bustling place of Yerwada. The ambience is very subtle which makes it a great place to hangout with friends and chit chat. The service I must say is super awesome. It was quick and the guys were very very friendly. The food is all right. Not great but it was different. The Murgh Khurchan was the best from among the lot. The drinks were a bit expensive but for that ambience I am so paying for it.. Will I go back here? So the answer is yes definitely worth it.

Rutika Kulkarni

When you hear the word ‘molecular gastronomy’ , I’m sure there is a twinkle in your eye and you think of all fancy dishes you would get to try. My visit to Pandora made me realise that its not just fancy dishes , but there is a lot more to it. They served us with the fanciest looking dishes having the most simple and traditional ingredients. Located between Yerawada and Nagar road , this restaurant is a perfect place for a date-night , casual get-together as well as a corporate outing. They have wisely curated the menu to satisfy everyone’s cravings. Here’s what I had : Mocktails : - Fujitive: One can never go wrong with pomegranate and cranberry mixtures. And what’s the best thing about this drink? – Mix of Kaffir and fresh Kaffir leaves. - Grey Hound: I would definitely recommend this drink to everyone who is a pineapple lover. Perfect and fresh taste of pineapple with cherry syrup and an amazing after taste of Kaffir Lime. Looked like a glass of beer with nice froth on it , but trust me , tasted much better than beer. - Stunner: This drink surely looked like a stunner but a lot can be changed about it. I personally don’t like citrus flavored mocktails and it gave me a sugar rush but people who like extra sweet mocktails might just like it. Presentation wise it was a 10/10 with an orange slice garnishing. Small Plates : - Masala Liver Pate : Chicken liver infused with Indian spices and herbs and served with balsamic pearls and jelly. More additions like Argula Maple salad, Raddish and Carrot Ribbons have been made to balance the taste. - Bharwal Soya Chaap: Straight from the streets of North India , soya chaap’s stuffed with chilli & cheese with lasooni margination. Trust me , the after taste of the chilli is mind-blowing and you’ve got to try this one. - Ancho Chilli Chicken Tikka: A modern Indian take on the Classic Chicken Tikka. Mexican herbs and spices including ancho chilli are used to give this dish a twist and add the ancho chilli flavor.Served with Indian salsa verde, sour cream & charred chilli coulis. The sour cream and chilli coulis complements the chicken really well. Also, the tikkas are an epitome of juicy chicken. - Trio Paneer Tikka: Paneer tikka with 3 different flavors consisting of Chipotle from Mexico, Gongura from South Indian and Malai from northern Indian. Served with Tamarind, Mint chutney and roasted Garlic. Big Plates : - Puneri Thecha Noodles: Toasted noodles in a classic puneri thecha. I couldn’t have much of these as it had nuts in it and I’m allergic to nuts. But my other half loved it. - Nalli Nihari: The classic Nalli Nihari needs absolutely no introduction. Slow cooked lamb shanks served with Khameeri roti. The Khameeri Roti made me want the Nalli Nihari more and more as the combination was going really well with each other. Desserts : - Gajar Halwa Boreks: Gajar Halwa with a twist? Why Not!! Crispy Gajar Halwa stuffed cigars served with Cream Cheese Ice Cream and Raspberry Coulis. Something worth a try. - Hazel and Salted Caramel Molleaux: People have a sweet tooth. Well, I , have a chocolate tooth. This dessert aptly made my taste buds go mad. This dessert comprises of burnt sugar crisps served with berry pearls. The presentation of this dish is top notch , and the taste – even better. All in all , it was an eventful evening with the Wednesday Night Live Music and pretty interiors and not to forget , the hospitality by Chef Vikrant. Special mention to Chef Vikrant for taking the efforts to explain the dishes he has curated to us including how he came up with the dish. Overall Rating : 4/5 Vfm : 4/5

Krishanu Ganguli

The place had been in my bucket list since I moved to Pune. Lovely ambiance, generous staff and good food makes it perfect. I went for a lunch with a couple of friends on a Saturday. It was vacant when we arrived and thus we got the seat of our choice. Coming straight to food (we majorly had starters & deserts), for starters we had 1. Truffle & Parmesan Fries: Crispy fries with parmesan cheese on top & served with mayo. The fries were good but lacked seasoning thus tasted bland. We requested the staff to get it seasoned. 2. Potatoes Galore: Four recipes of potato mostly oriental. I loved one of them. 3. Kaffir Lime chicken tikka: This is the champion of the starters. Tikka was juicy and loaded with flavours. A must have. 4. Gilafee seekh kabab: This was a traditional seekh kabab. Nothing fancy, but authentic in taste. 5. Garlic Bread: Soft bread with Mozzarella and Cheddar cheese on top. The bread was soft but something lacked. The garlicy flavor was missing. We only had a Vegetable Linguine Aglio Olio Pepperoncino for our mains (Needed space for deserts). This was bland in taste. We hated it. The only good thing about this was the garlic bread served along with the pasta. Coming to deserts, we had 1. Gajar Halwa Boreks: Gajar Halwa wrapped in Pancakes served along with vanilla ice cream. Lovely. 2. Red Velvet Ice Cream: Beautifully presented. Loved the flavor. 3. Textures of chocolate: If you are a chocolate lover, then this is a must have for you. The best of the lot. The best part about the place is the way the food is presented. That surely does bring a smile to your face.

The design of the restaurant is unique and the way they prepare the food is also the same. Chicken pahadi and the creamy tandoor maushroom was good. The flat bread was a bit bland. And the pad thai was too spicy.

I absolutely love the dining experience at Pandora Gastronomy and Bar! The Aloo kachaloo poppers & Gilafee seekh kabab with the burnt garlic chutney is a must have! Each visit, the broccoli corn and cheddar dimsums never fail to delight! I tried the Phirni Parfait - It was not so sweet not bland - just the best of the two worlds. The pomegranate and lime drink so named Fugitive is a must have too. The presentation makes the food even more aesthetic. My colleague from UK just loved this treat from India. It was the best way to help someone experience Indian cuisine. The staff is extremely courteous and makes sure we have a wonderful experience. Once when I visited with my parents, the dimsums placed on our table were cold. They immediately made a new batch and were extremely apologetic. Overall, this place has never failed to deliver the best! Visited it 4 times, yet not bored. I will still make sure to visit it to try the rest this place has to offer!

A must visit place for a chilled out evening. Amazing dining experience and delicious food. Ordered Classic fries , king prawns in hot bean sauce. Very generous quantity that we had no place left for main course. The classic fries had perfect crisp and taste. The prawns had a very nice flavour. Ended our evening with Texture of chocolate dessert.

I attended the Tapas🍤 and Tunes🎵 that happen on Wednesdays @pandorapune . Tapas is a Spanish/Portuguese concept🍷 of having small portions of appetizers to create an entire meal🍻. Each dish that I tried was a flavour journey on its own. I started with the Firecracker Prawns🦐,which looked delish with their bright orange color, was a bomb of flavour when you popped one in, crackly on the outside ,soft on the inside and left a spicy warm taste in your mouth😋. . @chef_rizwanmoidu is a magician👨‍🍳 with his Broccoli Galouti🥦.Galouti,which is usually an meat dish,the broccoli one came as a total surprise. Like if you're the guy not particularly fond of veggies,this is one super tasty treat for you.The galauti was throned on a mini ultey tawey ka parantha and topped with saffron foam and micro herbs.The galauti as it should, melts in your mouth and tastes phenomenal🤤. . The Madras Curry Spiced Fish Medallions🐟 were perfectly cooked fried fish with tartar sauce with a hint of spice that gave it that zing of flavour.The Chettinad Mushroom 🍄tarts and Salli Boti tarts 🍗were baskets were filled with meaty goodness. The spanakopita, in which the flavor of the spinach was cut by the tomato🍅 and feta cheese. The Corn,Peas and Cheese spring rolls 🌽were served with an amazing presentation in a mesh cage and chilly sauce that paired perfectly with the soft and crispy goodness of the spring rolls. The Tandoori Roulade was confit cooked chicken with spices rolled in and cheese on top which was a flavourful bite of tandoori chicken. . The Burnt Olive and Garlic Paneer Tikka🍡,the creaminess of the paneer hit me but came together as the paneer tikka with the sauces and the burnt garlic and olives on top. . These are off the Tapas menu goodness I tried,and I highly recommend it❤ Elderfashioned,their signature drink of bourbon whiskey,elderflower and thyme and has an amazing flavour and taste🥃. . The Kaffir Lime and coconut Ice-cream🍧,this was something totally new for me, the aroma of the lime spreads across the entire room.The texture and flavour pallette of the of the ice cream is really interesting and comes together with the fruits,honey and rice crispies 😍.

This was my second visit to Pandora. Our first one was when the restaurant had just opened and it wasn’t the best experience. However, I decided to give it a try and this time it didn’t disappoint! We were three friends and ordered only appetisers for dinner. The first appetiser we ordered was the Crispy Mushroom in Black pepper sauce. This was a delectable dish which had a crisp outer batter-fried coating of black pepper, with juicy mushrooms on the inside. The next dish we ordered were the Prawns Rocks in Black Bean. This dish really surprised us as the size of the prawns were huge! This dish was slightly spicy, but had a good mix of garlic, pepper and black bean. The soft shell crab was good dish, but there wasn’t enough crab meat in the dish. The Broccoli Galouti Kebabs melted in the mouth, but the quantity could’ve been better. Overall, it was a good experience and we had a hearty dinner! Ambience: 4/5 Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5

Lovely restaurant with different dishes on the menu. But by my experience I can assure you that whatever you will order, you will be astonished as to how good they make food look and taste. Must try restaurant.

Vikas Sharma

This is a great place to hang out with friends and for family meals. The ambience of the place is incredible and you feel the fine dine experience. Since I am a vegetarian, I am limited to talking about the vegetarian dishes. But, going by the taste I am sure they have a brilliant guy handling their kitchen. Do try the Lotus Root, its is superb and Puneri mule. The place has an amazing outdoors section as well. All in all you will have a brilliant experience

Philadelphia Ragda Pattice😍 A very common dish served in an interesting way, with unique flavours and that philadelphia moment in there makes you go “yumm”😍 Price: ₹270

The food is as amazing and hot as the chef at this place. The only drawback of the place is the location as it is not so easy to locate, this place is just behind the tata motors located at yerwada location. Anything you order will make u lick your finger. Vegetarians look for dishes from the menu for yourself. Non vegetarians blindly order burnt garlic chicken noodles, butter garlic rice bowl, chicken ghee roast and above all dilliwala chicken which actually takes you to the lanes of delhi. Masala parantha and malabar parathas are the best siders. Taste here defines perfect food. Last but not the least the frozen paan mouth freshner completes ur amazing meal.
