FOOD ~
We tried some out of the crowd dishes present in the menu. Red Paneer, Chicken Triology, Cheesy Loaded Nachos and Green Salad.
The food is a roller-coaster ride for your palate, touching corners of various different flavours.
Red Paneer is crispy and spicy. The paneer is extremely soft and delicious. As you bite into the dish it is mild but within a few seconds the Peri Peri masala hits your palate. Recommended, worth a try.
Chicken Triology has 3 distinct flavours on the plate. Harissa (green in color), Charmola (red in color) and Ioly (yellow in color) just like traffic lights is a delight to see and eat. Charmola is spicy and Harissa has an authentic Thai flavour.
Chessy Loaded Nachos and Delectable Green Salad is highly recommended. You should try.

Hoppipola
Being a food hedonist, i think this place best suits for everyone out there who loves nibbling on quick bites along with lot of gossip and drinks to sip on. This place is quiet famous among the college crowd. Students come and chill out here. It's perfect for casual hangouts with your friends.
The outdoor ambience is quirky and pleasing. Interiors can be modified and maintaibed efficiently. As soon as one enters, the rustic and pretty clocks hanging on the walls seeks everyone's attention. Service is prompt of course.
What foodiesoulmates hogged on-
1. Thread paneer- It was a star dish of the day. I never tried it before anywhere and loved it here. Paneer pieces were fresh and wrapped in batter giving it a thread like look. The dip served complemented the dish. This starter was bang on.
2. Chicken triology- Skewers kinda chicken dish. Chicken skewers were cooked in three different sauces. I loved it.
3. Cheesy nachos- Crispy nachos were topped with cheesy sauce having apt proportion of proteins. It was one hell of a cheesy nachos.
4. Jerk chicken pizza- Thin pizza crust topped with ample of chicken chunks, few veggies, sauces and good amount of cheese of course. I thoroughly relished it.
5. BBQ chicken burger- This huge messy burger makes you wide open your mouth to take a bite of it. The big chicken piece was crunchy and tasty.
6. Smart Bhel Chaat- It was well curated and something different totally. Veggies were blended with bhel and sev. Well curated desi version of salad we can say.
7. Sizzling brownie- Soft, fresh brownie was topped with vanilla icecream. I think I would have relished it more if the brownie was gooey, dark and moist. Nevertheless i still liked it.
I loved orange caprioska mocktail, it was super duper refreshing and perfect drink to pair with your appetizers and main course.
We had delightful time here.

All the starters, main course, and mocktails were amazing. Definitely worth a penny💰We had a great time here loving the place. Gonna visit this place again for sure.
Hoppipola is an amazing place for casual hangouts with your friends or get togethers. The ambience outdoor is pleasant and decent. The cute clocks there add more beauty to the place overall. They have open kitchen, so you can even notice your food been cooked in front of you. The indoor ambience could be much better. Service was great. We tried few dishes here which I would recommend you all to try if you pay your visit here.
1. Chicken triology (4.5/5)
2. Thread paneer (5/5) personally loved it and went well with the sweet chutney (dip) served along with it.
3. Cheesy nachos (4.5/5)
4. Jerk chicken pizza (4.5/5)
5. BBQ chicken burger (4/5)
In mocktaiks we sipped on Orange caprioska and Hot guava punch, both were refreshing and rejuvenating.
We ended our meal on sweeter note by adding sweetness to our taste buds. Sizzling brownie was good but it would have been more enjoyable if brownie was more gooey and moist. I would rate it (4/5).
Overall we enjoyed the meal here.
Good place.... i visit to my friends.... nice decorated place i like it.... next time i will visit again.... most fev restuarant in pune....

If you are looking for a place to chill with delicious food and amazing drinks then this is your place. The ambiance is pretty chilled out with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is also courteous. I tried :
Cheesy Nachos :
I love how it was loaded with cheese sauce and salsa. One of the best in town. 🧀
Paneer Tacos :
Crispy tacos with paneer in mexican sauce. It was filling and tasty. 🌮
Veg Mexican Mama Roll :
The yummiest roll I have had in a long time. The beans and veggies filling was perfectly cooked and stuffed. Highly recommended. 🌯
Old Monk Chicken Wings :
Spicy bbq chicken wings cooked with old monk so nicely that had an aftertaste of old monk. 💯🍗
Mac Pizza :
A thin crust pizza with cheese, basil and ofcourse macaroni topped with sweet n sour sauce. 🍕😋
Prawn Fry :
Delicious prawns fried in indian style which was feeling so fresh and sapid. 🍤😍
Overall I loved the food and enjoyed my time here. I highly recommend this place for a happy meal with groovy music. Do give this place a visit. 💕💯
This place have always served me good with all time good vibes. I the best thing about this place is you can interact/indulge in fun activities present in this place. Last time I played Jenga with huge blocks which was really exciting.
Moving on to food items I had Avalanche Nachos which are super good. Also, I tried Mac-N-Cheese pizza which was also good in taste and was worth trying.
The staff was pretty friendly and the ambiance is just amazing. Would definitely recommend people to hang out at this place.
A common name in Aundh for hangouts, quick eats, good drinks and a fun evening. It has existed since I can last remember. With a spacious outdoor seating (inside the restaurant) and indoor space as well, you have plenty of room for small and large groups. There also is an open kitchen and bar for display,
Service is as good as any. Food is served timely and servers are very courteous.
An absolute must try is their Paneer Tacos. Quick grub, filling, delicious in taste. The chicken BBQ wings and the cheese nachos are pretty good as well. For a change you can also try their mac pizza.
For Drinks, you must try the Negroni! Hands down one of the better Negronis ever.
Cost for two is under Rs 800, which is reasonable and value for money is high. Music is great as well.
Needless, to say the place is safe and near perfect for anyone looking to have a blast. Awesome!
Pizza is round, slices are triangular and comes in a square box.
Wait what? 🤣

Had this amazing, succulent, mouth watering Pizza at Hoppipola on Christmas day! I love thin crust pizza and this was a juicy and tasty treat. It is not spicy and the chicken Chunks are generously spread. Also it was perfectly cooked, the crusts were not burnt (I usually have to deal with burnt crusts lol) and altogether a great pick from their menu!

Location is misleading. You will not find any restaurant named Mainland China. Search for “Gong” as it’s operated by Gong.
And one of best place for Asian food in Pune.

I have been to this place for a lunch and was welcomed by their staff. It is located on ITI Road and is easy to locate. This place has very good vibes and can refresh your mood regardless of how much tired you are.
They have an array of amazing mocktails, one out of them I can recommend is Lychee Basil Quencher (😍).
Soup - I am kind of Tomato Soup fan but we had Lung Fung Soup (which My taste buds found new and different in taste).
Moving to starters, They have introduced new chinese menu along with their existing menu. They have nice options in veg, we started with Stir fried Water Chestnuts Hunan Style & Stir fried Vegetables with Five Spice.
In Main Course we had Stir fried Vegetables and Cottage cheese with Roasted Garlic And Okra, Corn & Potato in Chilli Black Bean Souce 😊 with Noodles & Rice.
Last but not the least, Desserts - Jaggery Ice Cream with Rosted Almonds (🔥 ) - This dessert took my heart & it is the best dessert I had at this place. Chocolate Cigar with Vanila Ice - Cream is all time my favourite.
This place is amazing and has courteous staff, I recommend this place as must visit place in Pune. You can enjoy food and drinks with your partners, families, friends and off course with your better half.
For when you want to feast on some authentic Chinese cuisine, Mainland China is the ideal place and its a heaven for Chinese food lovers.I was actually dazzled by the cooking techniques to the balancing of the flavors of the dishes served at this place. The comfortable and elegant appeal of the restaurant ,spacious and comfortable seating arrangements to the impressive interiors and not to forget the delicious Chines spread , this place has everything sorted!

Mainland China has always been a go-to-place for a lot of food lovers, when it comes to trying authentic Chinese cuisine. There are absolutely no doubts the quality of cuisine this franchise offers. Recently I tried there Aundh outlet for a lunch with a couple of friends.
We started off with a soup called Lung Fung soup. It was a okayish. Then we ordered some appetizers . First was Stir Fried Water Chestnuts Hunan Style. They were really good, especially with this preparation of Hunan Style. This wasn't the first time when I had these Chestnuts though. Then I went with Pan Fried Barbecued Fish. It turned out a great dish to have. The soft, tender & juicy chunks were absolutely delightful. Then we had the Pickled Coriander chicken. With some of the authentic spices blended in, this dish tasted really well.
Whilst having the appetizers, we gave it try to the Dimsums & ordered Pan fried Japanese Mushroom & Chicken dumplings. They tasted good.
In the mains, we first tried Cantonese Soy steamed fish. It offered a slight mild taste, but that's the way it should be, as I learnt. Double Spicy Chengdu Chicken was next up & it was amazing, with a blend of good sauces & veggies in it. We finished the main course with the Singapore style Fried Noodles with Bean Sprouts.
In desserts, we went with the Chocolate Cigars/rolls with Vanilla ice-cream. It was super amazing. I had them before at their other outlet. This outlet maintained the same taste. I would recommend them. We had some Mango Pudding too. They were not on the expected lines. I believed, it must have been a bad day for this particular dessert. Otherwise, usually, they do provide the pudding in amazing quality.
Service here has always been at top notch. The staff is really courteous & helpful. Mainland China is the authentic Chinese Cuisine place of you're looking for any nearby Aundh.

Mainland China is one of those classic places that never disappoints. Consistently great food and amazing service with a beautiful classy ambiance. For the Chinese New Year they have specially curated a new menu and I sampled some of the dishes recently. I have to say, it was delicious and I had such a great experience. The festival lasts till 9th of Feb and this one is definitely worth trying.
Pan Fried Japanese Dumplings - These wonderful, slightly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I preferred the vegetarian Mushroom ones more than the Chicken ones, as they had a lot more flavour.
Appetizers - Veg - Stir Fried Water Chestnuts Hunan Style were just crunchy and amazing. The Matchstick Potatoes (fries) were super thin and crispy loaded with flavour - garlic, spring onions, chillies and topped with Truffle Oil! So good!
Non-Veg - 5 Spice Chicken was classic comfort food! Juicy chicken tossed in an uber satisfying sauce with wonderful smokiness from the dried red chillies. The Lemongrass Fish was really delicious, with loads of lemongrass, ginger and Thai basil. The Malaysian Curried Prawns too were just fantastic, with lovely garlic and turmeric flavours.
MAINS - Seemingly simple but just soul satisfying curries served with Celery and Chinese Cabbage Fried Rice as well as absolutely lip smacking and smokey Singapore Style Fried Noodles with Scallions.
The Sichuan Steamed Fish with Corriander was so good! Fresh juicy fish in a sauce just bombarding your senses with spicy sichuan pepper. Our mouths were left tingling for so long after we had this. Could be overpowering for some.
I think my favourite were the Stir Fried Harricot Beans with Chillies and Sesame. The beans were so crunchy and fresh while the beautiful smokiness and mild spice from the dried chillies was addictive. So deceivingly delicious. The Fortune Clay Pot Vegetables too were really simple but crunchy, juicy and tasty.
The Chicken with Celery and Wine was really mild and creamy, but with an amazing tartness from the wine. really different and simple dish. Some may find it bland.
DESSERT - Mango Pudding, Coconut Dumplings with Honey Butter Sauce and Hot Chocolate Rolls with Vanilla Ice Cream were really great.
The Chocolate Dome with Hot Chocolate Sauce was phenomenal. The dome melting under the hot sauce and the pop corn, brownies, nutty crunchy chocolate bars and vanilla ice cream was just an incredible combination.
VERDICT - Really amazing food, this is a must try!

Mainland China food chain is one of the restaurants which serves near to authentic Chinese food and very rarely disappoints you with the taste. Currently they have introduced a list of new dishes to celebrate the Chinese New Year which was on 25th January. We tried a few of these dishes accompanied by a number of mocktails and they were delicious
🍹Mocktails🍹
We ordered Ginger and Pineapple Frappe, Forbidden Punch, Orangepiroksha, Virgin Pina Colada, Watermelon and Cilantro Crush and Virgin blue lagoon. I liked blue lagoon and Forbidden Punch the best. Especially the cranberry and Pineapple juice with hazelnut cream tasted bomb❤️
🍡Appetizers🍢
🌰Stir Fried Water Chestnut Hunan Style - They served a Chinese Water Chestnut starter which I had for the first time. The crispness of the chestnuts was intact inspite of being stir fried along with onion and capsicum. The Hunan sauce added the right amount of ginger and garlic flavour to this starter. Their presentation was also decent. A must try dish atleast for vegetarians ❤️
🥔Matchstick Potatoes with Truffle Oil - This had potatoes uniformly cut in the shape of matchsticks and tossed in truffle oil. The ginger, garlic, chilli powder made this simple dish palatable. Children and elder both will love this.
🍄Pan Fried Japanese Mushroom Dumplings - The stuffing of these dumplings was really good and Mushroom lovers will definitely love it. The after taste was just lingering in the mouth for a long time and they could have served some dip with it. But if you ask them for shezwan sauce they will provide you with the most authentic chutney. Also the covering was a bit thick.
🥘Main Course 🍲
Fortune Clay Pot Vegetables - This too I had for the first time and it was good. They serve raw vegetables in a liquid sauce made generally from the water that the vegetables leave when cooked with water and other condiments. They used vegetables like lotus stem, broccoli, potato in it. I had Celery and Chinese cabbage fried rice with it and the combination tasted delicious. Their noodles are equally scrumptious 😍
🍮Desserts🍧
Hot chocolate rolls with vanilla ice cream was amazing. The combination of chocolate with vanilla as usual tasted great. The rolls with uniform chocolate filling were small and adorable. Coconut caramel custard was okay, the taste of egg was overpowering.
Chocolate dome with warm chocolate sauce was the BEST ❤️ It consisted of caramel popcorn, brownie pieces, vanilla icecream, choco chips and fried noodles, all inside a chocolate dome which melted when they put hot chocolate sauce over it. Mango pudding was decent. Steam coconut dumpling with honey butter sauce was one of the unique desserts and modak lovers should try this 😛
Mainland China offers authentic Chinese cuisines and dishes. The ambiance of this place is pretty awesome and the food quality is nice. Hotel staff is courteous and gracious.
One nice thing about this place is that you get a tablet-based menu which makes it easy to select your order. You can view pics of the food as you go through it which helps a lot.
We ordered a Tom Yum Soup (Crabs), Steamed Chicken In Smoked Chilli Sauce (Regular) and a Chilli Garlic Noodles. Its taste was delicious.
They include service charge as well which they should avoid as GST is also applicable to the food. It offers 1 + 1 on food under the Zomato gold offer.

Mainland China is a big chain of restaurants which specializes in authentic Chinese Cuisine.
Recently I was at their Baner branch for 'Chinese New Year' food festival and I had a pretty good experience.
The place is quite spacious with a neat and classy ambiance.
Coming to the food, we tried some of the dishes which are part of 'Chinese New Year Food Menu'.

2. Stir Fried Water Chestnut Hunan Style (Rs. 475) : Chestnuts were so crispy and juicy and they were tossed in spicy hunan sauce along with capsicum and onions.
3. Matchsticks Potatoes with Truffle Oil (Rs. 425) : The potatoes were fried absolutely crispy and tossed with some celery and truffle oil.
4. Fortune Claypot Vegetables (Rs. 530) : In a mild soy based curry, veggies like lotus stem, water chestnut, broccoli were cooked.
5. Stir Fried Haricot Beans with Chillies (Rs. 480) : This one was really good. Beans had a very nice crunch to it and were tossed with dry red chillies.
Along with the gravies we had, Celery and Chinese Cabbage Fried Rice (Rs. 445) and Singapore Style Fried Noddles with Scallions (Rs. 480). Both were good in taste.
In desserts we had, Hot Chocolate Rolls with Vanilla Ice cream, Chocolate Dome with Warm Chocolate Sauce, Mango pudding, Steam Coconut Dumpling with Honey Butter Sauce and all of these were pretty delicious.
Special mention to chocolate dome which had brownie, popcorn, Icecream under it.
