If someone wants an amazing experience with your loved ones..and want to feel the cool breeze along with tasty food ..exotica is for you.
We were served by Sagar Thapa who really enhanced our dining experience.
The place is beautiful. Lovely ambience. Food Is very tasty and to top it all the courteous staff.. Always taking care of our table. Especially Mr. Sagar thapa and other staff. A lively experience with beautiful and fun music.
Excellent food ! Fabulous ambience!
Sagar thapa and team, great service !
Food and ambience was excellent.. The staff was well mannered and need to thank dev for being there and organising things when required. Thanks and would definitely come again with my entire staff
We liked the food served. Also special mention of captain Sagar Thapa who really cared a lot to serve nicely.... Thanks a lot
We always go to Exotica... and every time we get excellent service. Today Sagar Thapa was serving us it was totally different experience with him. Everything was perfect and he was coordinating everything. Thank you sagar for your servive we loved it
It was a random day and we, a bunch of friends decided to treat ourselves. So we went to visit Exotica restaurant, Yerwada. It was such a wonderful place. The ambiance and sitting arrangement is so perfect that one can spent whole afternoon with the delicious buffet in peace.
We had startes, main course, drinks and finally had 2,3 rounds of desserts (like obviously). Its a multi-cuisine restaurant, so we tasted panjabi dishes and dal makhni as well as italian pasta, salads also.
Variety was there in starters. Lots of options were available in veg and non-veg.
It was amazing to try those laal mirch thecha (which is speciality of maharashtrian food) and pickles.
Desserts were mouth watering. Moong dal halva, chocolate pastry, Fruits, vanilla-chocolate-strawberry ice-cream, sevai kheer, cheesecake, etc.
Trust me, all of them were delicious..!
Thank you so much for such great experience, will visit soon. ☺😊💜
Must visit restaurant..!
Best ever biryani I had ...mutton ...
Service best ever by Sagar thapa thank sir👬👬
Desserts was best ever.......,Exotica nice place to visit...for executive as awell as ...
It was nice being to this place. The ambience was awesome. Food was amazing and the staff was extremely helpful. We interacted with Mr Debnath who guided us about the food choices......
The service is really good. The captain Nepal is very humble and courteous and friendly. Food is awesome. All in all its really good place.
I am really enjoying at exotica, service is excellent, overall everything is good, food, service, attention and that makeme fill good. Mr.nepal biswas giving us good, excellent, mind blowing service
The place is a must for corporate guys who love to hangout between their love and corporate love :-) lovely ambience and lovely atmosphere.
The service provided by Nepal biswas is lively and he never fails us
Excellent food and ambience. Paneer lababdar and dal tadka were superb!!
Best place to unwind have a beer. Ive been here quite a few times and they offer best buffet in pune. Must visit for great food ambience and chill vibes
I had visited this place for lunch and had a good experience overall. Loved the ambience and the food. Starters were served fresh and piping hot and food and dessert options were also good
Good ambience and very courteous staff. The choice of food is also great. Only caution, too much crowd during weekdays. Hence we went on Sunday and really enjoyed.
Situated in an IT Park, one might not think of IT Parks having a beautiful restaurant like this within them but I absolutely fell in love with the ambience. The place is quite spread out too, with seating for large groups of people.
Coming to the food, I went for the A La Carté menu rather than their buffet, which as I have read in other zomato reviews, seems good. The seating for those preferring to eat the buffet and those wanting to eat try their A La Carté menu is different.
Beverages tried - Paradise and Anti-Colada. Both of them are mocktails (called anti-kocktails in their menu) and both were very tasty. Recommended.
I tried only the Shanghai Spring Roll. The quantity was really great! 3 people could easily eat from one plate and the rolls were tasty too.
Overall, a great experience. I recommend anyone who wants to dine with a great ambience and a good selection of food to try the place out. I also recommend to try the A La Carte if you're here rather than the buffet.
I tried the non veg buffet.
Most food items were delicious but the mocktails were nothing special and some of the curries in the main course we're flavourless.
Starters--4.5/5
Main course--3/5
Live counter--3/5
Dessert--3/5
Good place. If you are big foodie and want to try multiple dishes then definitely go with buffet. It's around 850 but quality wise it's super. Non veg dishes are good. Ambiance wise it very nice place. And staff was very friendly
I'd like to give 10 stars to "Sanjay Biswas" For his service, thank you!
Though green peas seek kababi wasn't good unless u r big fan of it
My all time favorite place for buffet lunch. The food is yummy and the services are excellent.
Reasonable prices with a lavish buffet spread..
Food was good but the best is there ambience ...
Price is actually on a higher end... the view is awesome
Been there twice and food is very nice. They have a valet parking, so don't you worry about four wheeler parking. We went there on family dinner and food there was fantastic. Though when we went there on weekend, there was a waiting queue to get the table, but it's fine during weekdays. They are roof top restaurant and it's pleasent to sit there in evening/night and enjoy the cool breeze.

Wanted to enjoy a good vegetarian buffet, though Barbeque nation is always on top when going for buffets but wanted to explore a new place from my bookmarks.
This place is not new, built of 7th floor and is rooftop. they dnt do online seat reservation but that is fine.
They have ample seating arrangement and you won’t have to wait much.
Very nice ambience, interior done superb.
We just waited for 5 minutes and got our seats.
And started with our buffet starters.
Veg Starters - served exceptionally hot and freshly baked , all served on your tables with 4 different varieties of sauces
Hariyali Paneer tikka - tandoored to perfection and was very soft - the way we like it .. 😋
Mushroom tikkas - though I am not huge mushroom lover but these ones were mind blowing
Corn seekh kebab - soft from inside and crispy outer layer - very tasty
Veg Crispy - some pieces of aloo and cauliflower with missing baby corns. As I love babycorns - their staff got me a complete portion of only crispy chilly babycorns and they were made perfectly
Veg Wontons- didn’t like much
Though we were already done after starters but our belly was still not in mood to stop , so we moved over to main course to taste some selective gravies
Main Course
Dal Burkha/makhni - unexpected that north side waali dal kaa taste. Creamy thick - the way we love our Delhi’s dal makhni
Malai kofta - just tasted 1 ball and it wasn’t bad
Paneer peshwari - gravely tasted best
Pindi Chana - didn’t like much
Didn’t taste - Palak matar, veg jalfrezi, aloo matar tariee sabzi, a mushroom item,
Pink sauce pastA - 👌🏻👌🏻
Hakka noodles - perfect
Veg Biryani - dnt know when was the last I had so delicious biryani , long rice - the fragnance - I meant it was best part of dinner to me
Steamed rice
Breads - you need to order and they will be served hot and fresh on your tables - Lachchaa parantha , butter naan rotis etc ..
Desserts 🧁
Gulab jamun - cut into 2 pieces dipped in Rabri
Jalebi
Gajar halwa
Ice creams - 3 flavours
Choco coffee mousse
Some pastries - didn’t taste
Different Types of salads and fruits were cherry on cake
Pickles
Raitas - boondi as well as mix veg
Chutneys
This is all what I remember but I know I would have been missing few times ... sorry for that
Overall it was complete steal in Rs 695 pp on Sunday including taxes, we had amazing night with our tummies overloaded
Thanks to entire team out there ...
Amazing place to be with for a pitcher perfect noon😘had a lot of fun amazing service by the staff😊
The beverages need to be taken care of rest everything is fine
A must go to place
Good one for family, friends get together or office lunch dinner parties. Polite staff and good ambience, various packages available for weekend and weekdays. Live music was best part
Broccoli Aur Bhutte ke Shammi this is a must try kinda starter. The crust was crisp, flavourful and chewy. The toppings worked together beautifully. The corn and cheese were packed with flavor, and the broccoli had a great consistency and very little oil.
We also ordered garlic nan, sabji ,daal and the full main course. It was superbly delicious.
The garlic knots were little bombs of buttery, yeasty goodness, and the garlic was robust but not overpowering.
It has a wonderful ambience, a big fish tank and small fountains, bright lighting everywhere with a beautiful rooftop view of the city.
By the end of the meal we were planning our next visit.
A nice place to enjoy with your family, friends or collegues. The place is nice, the ambience is lovely and the staff is courteous. We visited here in on a Wednesday afternoon yet there were quite a few people around. We ordered the lunch buffet which was amazing. The food was delicious and was served hot. Everyone from our team enjoyed the meal. Do visit and have a good time
Clearly one of the best buffet food I had in a long time. Buffets usually get monotonous, but this place has upped its game. The ambience is no doubt the best best thing about the place. The food really great, especially the salad bar. The main course was okay, but starter n the desserts are the star anyway. It's a great place for weekend brunches. And the stuff is really helpful n great
My brother who came from Dubai, went to pune to meet our sister. Sister & jija brought him to this famous restaurant in Pune near Yerawada. Big place with lavish ambience and happy go feeling when you eat buffet dinner with amazing songs being played by guitarist. Lovely place to visit!!!
Ambiance is awesome
Large variety of starters / main course/ mock tails
In starters panner was lip smacking
In main course Dal Makhni was delicious 😋
Service was bit slow but rest everything was perfect 👌🏻
Highly recommended to everyone
Do visit once
5/5
Food is awesome, specially the buffet.... Veg was really tast, i wished non-veg cud be equally tasty... U cud have added some fish recipes in non-veg starters... Overall it was a good experience
was an fantastic experience and was well attended by Satish. live counter served good dosa and pani puri. he has been very fast in his service and also taken the orders and complaints very promptly...
Very Good Service by SATISH. we just Love The Ambience Here I'll Surely Recommend This Place to all my Friends...
* Service :- 5 / 5
* Food:- 5/ 4.5
* Ambience:- 5/ 5
Had been for Monday dinner buffet, it was a horrible experience. In starters both veg and non-veg were bad, they were for sure going for the cheapest and easy options. They didn't even care to prepare it well , and I couldn't believe they used fresh water fish to prepare fish starter and not basa. Main course and dessert options were limited and not worth. We did enjoyed the happy hour though. I would suggest going for only Sunday brunch at this place.
Just enjoyed dinner. Veg and non veg food was awesome. Sanjay Biswas and Sagar Thapa provided best service to us, great hospitality. Will definitely try their buffet.
Food - 4.5/5
Ambiance - 5/5
Service - 4.5/5
One of the best place. Good food, courteous staff. Go for the Sunday brunch, its really good, live music is good. One of the best ambience. Worth for the money they charge. Must try.
A must visit place !!!
Do visit specially if you are a rooftop restro lover ❣️
Amazing ambiance, which really fresh up your mind and soul.
We went for buffet, they have pretty good options in startes both in veg and Non-veg.
I personally like the main course menu, salad is chery on the top.
Gulab Jamun was missing from desert counter which was little disappointing ! Not sure about other days.
Apart from that Gajar ka halwa and red velvet cup cake was super delicious.
Talking about overall food taste and quality, it just value for the money place.
A personal suggestion, do visit during evening or night to enjoy the rooftop feel.

We had been here for their Sunday brunch. It was good in variety but not consistent across all items in taste. The best thing about this place is their ambience. It's very refreshing and filled with greenery.
There were Indian and Chinese starters. Some were nice like the chicken Tikka, paneer hariyali, chili chicken, crispy mushroom. Others such as fish salt and pepper and grilled chicken weren't so good.
The main course was similar. The biryani was good and so was the mutton. Chicken was ok. The hummus was nice.
The gulab jamun with rabri was the pick of the desserts.
Considering the reasonable price and the ambience, it is pretty good though and worth visiting.
Awesome food quality (Finger licking) and Quantity as well. Though the pricing is on higher side, the food quality and Quantity justifies every bit of it. Nice ambience, good service. Just that they should keep the service charge optional that's also 5% so it's ok but should be at customer's discretion. Rest all is just simply great experience to go here with Family for any occasional dineout.
We went to exotica for a Sunday brunch.
The place is very crowded on Sunday but the ambiance and the feel is very cool. It also gives a nice view of the surrounding city area. There's live streaming of sports. There are live performing singers as well. Talking about the service, it's also fast and good.
I was little disappointed with the starters as there were very less options for vegetarians.
But the main course was very tasty and quite delicious.
Coming to the desserts, they are also good.
Overall, a must try place for Sunday brunch lovers.
Been here for team lunch, after a long time, any restaurant with buffet has impressed me this much.. all the options they had on were super tasty starting from baby corn starter till Pudding & Gajat halwa in dessert. Ambience is also unmatchable with the neat and spacious arrangement of tables and interiors.. highly recommend..
Been there on weekday for team lunch.
Very nice ambience, spacious, has different section for ala carte and buffet (internally connected) at the rooftop.
We took buffet and almost everything had good taste.
6 to 7 starters served on table unlimited, one welcome drink.
Good options in main course and dessert too, everyone can find something good of there interest from the menu.
Service staff are quick.
I would say must visit place at least once.
Very good place. Open air, covered from top. Good service. Multi cuisine restaurant and bar. Ambience is really nice. Clean washroom. Ample parking available. Good for kids and families.
Great atmosphere and food. Location of Exotica is also a plus point. It’s at roof top and you can see lots of corporate offices from roof top. It was disappointing to know that happy hours were not there due to Sunday visit. We thought of taking benefits of happy hours before 8pm
This is a pleasant place to have brunch with friends or family. The Atmosphere is calm and the music gives it an extra Star. You want to enjoy Beer / Whiskey again a lovely place as It will give you the experience of Cool Breeze as it's a Roof Top.
Candle Light Dinner - You can find the same here too, but you need to find the Table which is in more Dark Side.
Food Quality is Super and The Bar Counter is catchy too.
Only Cons - If you are visiting during Football Or Cricket Matches - You will not find the Big Screen. Rest a Must Visit Place.
Recommended for date nights, family celebrations, friends party.
This rooftop restaurant has the beautiful view and pretty lights and decorations.
It’s best for couples to have a candle light dinner plus I visit this place in rainy season that just made it much lovely.
Food quality is good and service is excellent.
A very beautiful ambience with lovely staff & hospitality. We had a great time as family and amazing food.
They had done a lovely decoration for a birthday celebration. The birthday boy loved it totally.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Better luck next time they have stopped the buffet now only a la carte. A la carte, the food was good, tried Almond Brocolli soup, crispy corn, chicken biryani, chicken tandoori. Overall it's a good experience to dine.
Exotica’s brunch is quite good - very reasonable in terms of price and have a lot of food options. The price differs for alcoholic and non alcoholic brunch options. The buffet has a bunch of starters and a large spread from salads, soups, Indian main course, Chinese options and a few live counters for sea food and desserts. The dessert section is also quite elaborate. The service could be slow sometimes but all in all it’s a good option for brunch. They have loads of outdoor seating space and also have live music sometimes. You will also find a full bar menu. They have valet for parking which is a nice bonus.

A Memorable Fine Dining Experience at Exotica (AKA Zafraan), Yerwada, Pune
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4 out of 5 stars)
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Exotica, also known as Zafraan, located on the 7th floor rooftop of Panchshil Tech Park - Tower C in Yerwada, Pune. This fine dining establishment left a lasting impression on me with its exquisite ambience, impressive vegetarian cuisine, and attentive service.
The location of Exotica is simply stunning. Situated on the rooftop, it offers a captivating view of the surrounding area. The setting creates a serene and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a memorable dining experience. Whether it's a romantic evening or a gathering with friends, the rooftop ambiance adds a touch of elegance to the overall dining experience.
The restaurant primarily attracts a corporate crowd, which contributes to the sophisticated atmosphere. The professional and courteous staff members are well-versed in providing excellent service, ensuring that guests feel welcomed and attended to throughout their visit.
Now, let's dive into the culinary delights I savored at Exotica. To start, I indulged in the Vegetarian Manchow soup, which was rich in flavors and had a delightful balance of spices. The Spinach Cheese & Corn Roll was a delicious appetizer that pleased both the eyes and the palate. It was perfectly crispy on the outside, and the combination of spinach, cheese, and corn was truly delightful.
For a light and tasty accompaniment, I enjoyed the Masala Papad, which was crispy and served with a variety of tangy and spicy toppings. To complement the meal, I opted for the Fresh Tap Beer - Kingfisher Ultra, which was refreshing and perfectly chilled.
Moving on to the main course, I relished the Butter Naan, which was soft and had just the right amount of butter. The Paneer Lababdaar, a cottage cheese dish in a flavorful tomato-based gravy, was the highlight of the meal. The paneer was succulent, and the gravy was well-spiced, making it a satisfying and comforting choice. Accompanying the paneer was the Dal Zafraan, a lentil dish that was cooked to perfection with a delightful blend of spices. The Jeera Rice, fragrant and fluffy, provided a perfect pairing with the dal.
Overall, my experience at Exotica (AKA Zafraan) was fantastic. The combination of the rooftop setting, exquisite ambience, and delicious vegetarian cuisine made it a memorable dining outing. The restaurant caters well to the corporate crowd, ensuring a refined and enjoyable experience. While the service was attentive, a bit more promptness would have elevated the overall experience even further.
I highly recommend Exotica for those seeking a fine dining experience in Yerwada, Pune. The impressive menu, serene rooftop ambiance, and attentive service make it a noteworthy culinary destination.
It's a rooftop bar n restaurant you need to come to Panchshil Tech Park one. The ambience is 10 out of 10 and mostly the corporate office people visits here as it is in a business complex. They have varied foods and drinks it's a good place if you want to chill and watch cricket match. I came here with my office team and got corporate discount as well. They have dedicated veg list and food is awesome mostly you can find paneer items. For non veg I tried Lehsooni fish which was so tasty but the murg lababdar was not upto my expectation. Overall the food and drinks are good as well as the service.
Zafraan Exotica Rooftop Restaurant in Yerwada, Pune, is a fantastic rooftop dining restaurant. Great for cozy dinner date or family gatherings.
It offers scenic views and outdoor dining experiences. They have good collection of fresh cocktails.
They have indoor and patio seatings! Parking is valet parking, makes it very convenient.
Great ambiance with great service! Food is delicious with loads of varities. Staff is polite and serves the food on time! Must try to satisfy your Indian cuisine taste buds.. great food options. The live band was great!
Very nice place for outings with family and work colleagues. I visited during late lunch hours and was sitting in the outdoor dining area which interior and view wise was very pleasant but even with the cooling water sprays, was a little hot. They also have inside seating available but their outdoor seating area is much more beautifully decorated. My expectations from the food was very high but it didn't really live upto it but overall it was good. Visit at night for best experience.
Food was yummy. This place has a great ambience both in indoor and outdoor seating areas. Service was very quick. Staff is friendly. Food is a bit on the costlier side but doesn't fail to impress with the taste. Overall a great place for dates, formal dinners/lunches, etc. Would highly recommend to visit at night. They put candles on the tables and it just looks soo beautiful!
It's a costly place, atmosphere is great, food is average, parking is available.
Those times when you randomly decide to go out for dinner and that place turns out to be one of the most exotic restaurants. You should definitely visit this place if you are looking out for amazing food, great hospitality and some really nice cocktails. This place is as good as it looks in these pictures, even better in real. Looking forward to visiting again.
