The restaurant is inside Taj and ambience and experience is always amazing. I never had less than excellent experience in any taj hotel. The restaurant served free peanuts which complimented my beer. Dimshum, veg main, and hakka noodles I ordered and all good. Go for it.
A nice place with live music, prompt service from very courteous staff, they helped in ordering too. Food was very good, chicken and fried rice both were very well cooked

Craved for some good Asian food and was bored with our usual joints of Mamagoto, Mainland China and the likes. Decided to try Wishpering Bamboo because their menu said they serve Mapo Tofu!
We walked in on a Sunday night at around 7.30 and were promptly seated. We ordered the following:
Soup:
Hot and Sour - Great balance of flavors, thick and sufficient in quantity even though we decided to share the soup
Starter :
We ordered the crystal veggie dumplings and loved how they were stuffed to the brim in a thin translucent cover. For us, the 6 dumplings paired well with the chilly-black bean sauce as well as the spring onion sauce that was served along with three more sauces
Main Course:
Mapo Tofu - I had first eaten this on a trip abroad and was not sure if it was available in Pune. Was pleasantly happy to know this place served it and hence did not even consider anything else. One bite into that silky tofu and what sheer bliss! Do try it if you love your Mapo Tofu! The quantity was sufficient for two.
Tip: The current menu does not show Mapo Tofu, but you can tell the server and they will make it for you for the same cost as their other main course dishes
Shandong Rice - We ordered the Shandong rice to accompany Mapo Tofu and were not disappointed. It was a bowl of stir-fried rice with caramelized onions and veggies and has a great flavor on its own. We managed to finish off the rice, and by the end of dinner were completely full to even think of desserts.
Now, to the main question - Would I visit again?
YES! We liked the food and the service was also as expected from a Blue Diamond.
This restaurant honors Zomato Gold so our bill for the night was 1200 + taxes.
Cheers!
Come here for dinner once every few weeks. Food quality is great and service is even better. Our server Praveen noticed that it was someone’s birthday on our table and surprised us with a wonderful cake at the end of our dinner. Thank you to whispering bamboo and Praveen for the exceptional service!
We accidentally stumbled upon this place while roaming around KP after a salon session. At first the place seemed fancy but it had a cosy ambience and warm staff. For authentic Pan Asian delicacy, one must definitely give it a try. My picks:
Traditional hot and sour soup
Vegetable crystal dumpling
Crispy fried lotus stem
Singapore rice noodles with vegetables
Great chinese food but the quantity is less. The ambience is not very great as you would expect from a restaurant in Taj group. Live music helps to lighten the mood
We were here for dinner on a Saturday night (2 people), service was prompt, accommodating and very attentive.
We had 1/2 a Peking duck, the veg clear soup, some red wine and a gin and tonic.
The duck was authentic and similar to the kind I’ve had in Beijing. The quantity and price were great.
I’m looking forward to being back here.
I have been visiting Whispering Bamboo i think atleast from 10 years and I am never disappointed. The food here is always amazing and they have really maintained their standard. The service is impeccable and the staff are so polite and always make us extremely comfortable. I have tried many many items over the years but to name a few i love the veg hakka noodles, veg manchurian, stir fried veggies in soya chilli sauce, fried rice, lemon coriander, manchow and hot n sour soup, vegetable salt n pepper, water chestnuts in salt and pepper, crispy spinach, lotus stem , Schezuan Babycorn, Spring Rolls etc. I highly recommend the place and they have zomato gold on food too which is great :D
Food was really amazing. We order pan thai chicken bejing noodles with sea food. Really economic place looking onto good food with good ambience and very polite staff. You will definitely get fine dining feel with soothing music. Worth to go

Whispering Bamboo at Blue Diamond, Pune is one of best restaurant for Chinese and Thai food in Koregaon Park.
The sophisticated and serene vibe at Whispering Bamboo makes it a top choice for working lunches and leisurely meals. The menu serves spicy Sichuan, Hunan and Cantonese dishes that hit the sweet spot for Blue Diamond’s well-heeled guests.

My recommendations for Vegetarians will be: Soup: Vegetable Spicy Lemon Coriander Soup Starters: Golden sweet corn five spice, Shredded potato chili and garlic, Crispy Chengdu Lotus Stem with pepper and salt, Water chestnuts with pepper and salt.
Main Course: In the main course Vegetable Stir Fried Rice, Crunchy Burnt Garlic rice is must have along with Vegetables Tossed Hakka Noodles & Veg Manchurian Gravy. You can have Lemon Ice Tea along with meals, it’s quite good and refreshing.

This is a long pending review. Took my Parents out for a quiet dinner to Whispering Bamboos, oriental restaurant at the Taj Blue Diamond in October 2021.
Must say it is a serene place with Bamboo shoots interspersed into every nook and corner of the restaurant. In addition there are props and oriental decor with a cascade of waters.
They serve a very scrumptious Crispy Peking Duck- we ordered half a duck which comes with Chinese pancakes aka scallions, hoisin sauce and honey sauce with a side of Chinese pickled salad, similar to Khimchi or Xinqi.
Since I have a thing for Crispy Conjee Lamb, being our most preferred and widely ordered dish in Dubai, especially for my Parents, we didn't think twice. However it arrived too deep fried it almost burnt. They instantly and happily replaced it- which was perfect- crisp crunch and optimum seasoning.
Golden Fried King Prawns- One of their Chef's special dishes, it was crisp and the element of crunch was there but it was too oily- I could see oil oozing out from it.
Honey Glazed pork Ribs- another family weakness- it was nicely done, well plated very well flavoured. Ribs were soft and succulent and juicy.
For dessert we had Brownie with Ice-cream which is as per SOP. For drinks we had Virgin Mojitos, Virgin Pina Coladas and fresh lime soda. Service followed all the etiquettes.
A nice place to visit for chinese cuisine. Located inside Vivanta by Taj, the restaurant offers fine dining experience. Nice and soothing decor, excellent food. The portions are huge and each dish is good for two people. Excellent taste and presentation. Highly recommended
Amazing food. I was unwell on my birthday and was not in a state to eat spicy food. The cook customized the foods accordingly and i have to say the food tasted amazing. The butter garlic prawns were so soft and nice. The honey spike pork was delicious. I will definitely recommend going here. The service, food and ambience are a must experience at least once.
My experience was fabulous. Quality and tasty food. I ordered dimshum, veg main dish, and noodles with kingfisher pint. Very rarely a restaurant serves tasty free nuts when you order beer. I liked the ambience of it. Its so good. I went early for lunch and we were only guest at the moment. One of the best restaurant in pune.
A really nice place to have oriental and Chinese and it has the best dim sums served.
