Went to this place on a weekend and the place seemed quite cool. The outdoor seating is quite good and there was some live music playing that day. Had a good time since the place serves some tasty food as well.
I loved there 212 burger which was humongous and tasty.
Loved their watermelon drink to the bits. It was so refreshing and tasty.
The service is fast and good.
Such a lively place to be.
Food was awesome really yummy though felt options for vegetarian were limited.
Tried jalapeño poppers(was the best), garlic bread(didn't like much was not fresh) penne pasta (red sauce which was good)
Though they had very limited options for mocktails I decided to go for shack and it was amazing banana butterscotch shake. The best part was they had various games available to play with.
The staff is friendly and onion battered rings and jallepino poppers were great... Main course is too flat taste wise but over all enjoyed the entire ambience and games with live test match was the cherry on the cake
Really great place for some good food with friends. Has a well lit comfortable outdoor seating.

Visited The Gymkhana Diaries Festival 212 All Day Cafe & Bar , Phoenix Mall with family Amrit Vijaydas . They have recreated old dishes with a Angrezi twist:)
Gora Sahibs mutton pate kebab -Gelawati Kebab in pita bread - is a must try. Another one we tried was Mr. Eggs Kejriwal , is a good pet pooja dish.
212 All Day has a fest called The Gymkhana Diaries running. The concept is that of Gymkhana food or simple club food, with Gymkhana prices, that is inexpensive prices. They have curated a menu to include the amazing club dishes from the clubs all over India.
Bombay Gym Batata Especial 185/-
This was more or less like Batata wada. It was a typical Mumbai style layered sandwich topped with cheese. It was non spicy.
Makhani Meet Pav 245/-
This was inspired by the Delhi Club. Paneer Makhani was served in a Pav. Personally, I am not a Paneer fan but in the sandwich form, I liked it.
Ramdins Veg Special 215/-
This is a special dish inspired by the Tollygunge Club. Rajma Gilawat is served in Pita. It also has pickled veggies in it which adds to a nice sweet and tangy flavor. The Gilawat is so soft that it melts in your mouth.
Chuuk Chuuk Cutles 195/-
Inspired by the railways, this one was without any doubt, my favorite from the menu. It was a very crunchy and crispy mixed vegetables Cutlet, served with ketchup and fries.
Mrs. Brown's Augratin 265/-
This dish is inspired by the Wellington Gymkhana. It us served with a slice of garlic bread. Augratin aka baked vegetable is usually has a sweetish touch to it at most of the places. I had expected it to be a little sweet but it wasn't that sweet.
Gora Sahibs Mutton Pate Kebabs 325/-
Inspired by the Delhi Club again, this one, we were told, is minced 17 times before making kebabs out of it, so no points for guessing that it literally melts in your mouth. It is served in a Pita with pickled veggies which add another dimension and texture to it.
Deekra Ando Bhurji 175/-
This bhurji is inspired by the Bombay Gymkhana. It is a Parsi Style Anda Bhurji. Honestly, I was not okay with its texture as I am more comfortable with the taste and texture of a street style bhurji.
Mr. Eggs Kejriwal 175/-
Inspired by the Bombay Presidency Radio Club. It has nothing to do with Mr. Kejriwal from Delhi. A simple yet yummy breakfast kind of dish. Ask them to add more spices if you like your food spicy.
Chooza Minced and Spiced 315/-
A kheema dish inspired from the Madras Gymkhana.
Croquettes Macha 465/-
Another dish which I enjoyed after the Railway cutlets was these yummy fish croquettes, perfectly crisp from the outside and delicately soft inside. Served with a nice dip, it made it a perfect dish inspired from the Royal Calcutta Golf Club.
All in all, an interesting fest running till the 9th of September to try club food without any membership. Also for those who are thinking about the alcohol prices, they are again at club rates.

212 All Day Café & Bar - The Gymkhana Diaries Festival!
212 All Day is located in Phoenix Marketcity in Vimannagar and serves Continental Cuisine along with good options in bar menu as well, the décor of this place is fresh and inviting, they have indoor and outdoor seating arrangements with comfortable seating space.
212 All Day Café & Bar has come up with an excellent initiative of recreating some iconic dishes inspired for the oldest and well known Gymkhana’s from different cities of India. The Gymkhana Dairies Festival has started on 10th Aug 2018 and will be running up to 10th Sept 2018, they are serving selected 5 types of veg and 5 types of non veg dishes paired with some Alcohol options which are priced less than 100 Rs. The food is served in old style stainless steel snack plates and the presentation of all dishes is really beautiful. I visited this place for #Foodtasting.
I was able to try all the veg dishes which are mentioned below.
Bombay Gym Batata Especial [Rs 185]: A thick layer of bread baked in house with mumbai potato sandwich sabji layer on it with cream cheese sauce and little bit of kachumber was superb in taste, the potato sabji was medium spicy and the creamy sauce went well with it. It was served along with crispy fries sprinkled with red chili powder and yogurt and mint chutney which was also very well done. The bread use was extremely soft and one of the best I have had. #Recommended.
Ramdin’s Special Veg [Rs 215]: Rajma kebabs prepared in a similar way like the famous Galawati kebab was exceptional in taste, kebabs done with finely minced rajma was served in pita pockets along with pickled vegetables. The kebab had burst of spices in it and was well balanced. #Musthave
Chuuk Chuuk Cutlets [Rs 195]: This dish is inspired from the famous veg cutlet that we get in Indian trains, a cutlet prepared from mashed assorted veggies with spices and green chili paste was coated with bread crumbs and then shallow fried, the cutlet was super crispy on the outside, I felt that the spice levels were slight less and can be enhanced a bit more, nevertheless it was good in taste. #Recommended
Mrs Browns Augratin [Rs 265]: Baked veggies and pineapple pieces done in a cheese and creamy sauce was slightly mild on seasoning level, it was served along with garlic bread which was slightly crisp and nicely done. It will definitely impress people who like to have mild and creamy flavors.
Makhni Meet Pav [Rs 245]: Paneer Makhani served along with freshly baked pav didn’t live up to my expectations; the gravy was slightly thin in consistency, it was creamy but was lacking the buttery feel and also the spices were not blended properly. The paneer was roasted in oil because of which it became slightly chewy.
Overall: Service was prompt and restaurant was clean, the pricing for The Gymkhana Diaries festivals is very reasonable and the festival is definitely worth a visit. Quantity is sufficient for two or may be one person just in case you don’t want to try multiple dishes. Thanks a lot Kartik Ganesh for extending the invite and Svetlana Savant for hosting us. It was pleasure meeting you.
Location: 212 All Day Café & Bar, Phoenix Market City, Nagar Roand, Vimannagar, Pune.

A typical Punekar Granddad would love to tell you stories about his golden days. It would typically be a tale of how he spent the day on the field slogging and then enjoying the cool breeze and luscious delicacies in the Gymkhana by the evening. Celebrating this age old 'Gymkhana Club Culture', 212 Cafe & Bar is offering a glimpse of the culture for a limited time (Till 9th September).
Featuring delicacies from all over the country like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata etc this is something a foodie in me did not want to miss.
The menu aims at offering the legendary dishes at a pocket-friendly price.
What we had
FOOD
Bombay Gym Batata Espical
From Bombay Gym this is a typical Mumbaiyya dish. Masala sandwich with potato mash in special spices. ₹ 185/-
Makhani meet Pav
From Delhi Gym this is a typical North Indian Delicacy. Liked the rich flavorful makhni ₹ 245/-
Ramdin's Veg Special
Rajhma tikki served in a Pita Bread Pocket. If you're a Non-Vegetarian you can skip this and go for Gora Sahib Pate Kebab instead. ₹ 215/-
Gora Sahib's Mutton Pate Kebabs (Recommended)
Mutton galouti Kebab in Pita Bread Pocket. Finely minced Mutton which, I think is the best dish on offer. Melt in the mouth texture and the bread compliments the flavour o the kebabs ₹ 325/-
Chuuk Chuuk Cutles (Recommended)
As the name suggests this one comes from the railways. A crispy cutlet served with a green mint chutney. ₹ 195/-
Mr Eggs Kejriwal
Funny name. A nice twist to the sunny side up.. Dish which originated at the Mumbai Presidency Radio Club. ₹175/-
Drinks
Fine Spirits at a very reasonable price to go with the awesome food.
We were offered a choice of following spirits or any cocktails based on these.
Old Monk
House Pouring Vodka, Whiskey or Draught Beer
Verdict:
Overall this was a pleasing experience. Food was innovative and the hosts were more than willing to explain each and every dish along with its speciality and origin.

212 Cafe, The Gymkhana Diaries. (Phoenix Mall)
#WanderDriveEat (10th Aug to 9th Sep)
Old world charm, British era elegance, a spot of tennis and a quick swim. Followed by some healthy but tasty fare and a couple of relaxing drinks with the city's who's who. The good life. The Exclusive 'Member's Only' Club Life. So many craved for it, only a select few have it.
212 All Day Cafe and Bar brings you a taste of this exclusive 'Club' world, without the smugness or the guarded doors, with really beautiful ambiance at, well, relatively affordable prices. This is a new exclusive Mumbai or Pune Club style menu which lasts till 9th September. The most amazing fact about the menu are the alcohol prices. Can you imagine, Gin at Rs. 55, vodka at Rs. 65 and Whiskey at Rs. 75?!!
NON-VEG
Chooza Kheema Pav Minced & Spiced (Rs 315) - Absolutely smashing, spicy and packed with flavour chicken kheema with pav. It was divine, topped with caramelized onions giving it an even more edge of flavour. My favourite pick from the bunch.
Gora Sahib's Mutton Pate Kebabs (Rs. 325) - The softest and creamiest Galouti or Tunday Kebabs I've had in Pune. So delicate but flavourful. The meat is minced 7 times with carefully chosen cuts of meat to achieve this texture. The taste of the kebabs was super. But they were difficult to eat with the roti pockets and garnish of pickled vegetables. It would be better, in my opinion, to serve them separately or like a taco - the roti on the bottom with the kebab and garnish on top.
Mr. Eggs Kejriwal (Rs. 175) - Funny and rather controversial name, but nothing to do with the AAP leader. This dish was apparently invented by a Chef called Kejriwal in a Club in Bombay (Yes, it was Bombay at the time. Get over it.) 2 eggs sunny side up served in a really soft fresh pav, with chopped onions, tomatoes and green chilly with a really nice mint mayo. Absolutely smashing dish. So soul satisfying and simple. There are many versions apparently, so I can't comment on authenticity but for me, this was a definite winner. The accompanying green chutney was amazing with it.
Deekra Ando Bhurjee (Rs. 175) - Really soft, runny and creamy egg bhurjee with onions, tomatoes and green chilly served like above in soft pav and mint mayo. Really light and refreshing but can be bland for some. You can ask the chef to make it more punchy if your prefer.
Croquettes Macha (Rs. 465) - Really wonderful fish and cheese croquettes. Perfectly fried, crispy on the outside with a really creamy and flavourful filling inside. Real comfort food.
VEG
Bombay Gym Batata "Especial" (Rs. 185) - A wonderful twist on the Bombay Sandwich. An open sandwich with boiled potato, loads of vegetables, cheese and a creamy sauce.
Ramdin's Veg Special (Rs. 215) - If a vegetarian ever wanted to experience what the fuss was all about a Galouti Kebab, this is what you need to try. Super creamy and soft minced Rajma kebab in a roti pocket with garnish of pickled vegetables. It was so flavourful too, really delicious. in spite of me being a hardcore carnivore, I would order this on it's own. really nice stuff.
Chook Chook "Cutlets" (Rs. 195) - Parsi style veg cutlets. Super crisp loaded with vegetables. I found it a little underflavoured, but apparently this is exactly how they are supposed to be.
Mrs. Brown's Au Gratin (Rs. 265) - This was a stunner. Creamy and comforting white sauce with cheese, a healthy bunch of vegetables fragrant with herbs and pepper. Really amazing Au Gratin. Loved it, the garlic bread was excellent too.
Makhani Meet Pav (Rs. 245) - This was a bit of a fail for me. The paneer was chewy and the curry just lacked flavour and there was zero butteriness, which is expected in a Makhani. There was a refreshing hint of cinnamon, but nothing apart from that. It needs a rethink.
So overall, this is a really exciting and fun new menu to try when you're in Phoenix. 212 anyway has been a favourite of mine. Really great food, drinks and beautiful ambiance. This menu gives us another reason to try it out again. The prices of the food are slightly on the higher side, but I think the alcohol prices just trumps that. Definitely worth a try.
Phoenix mall is definitely Makkah for food lover. Whenever I passed through this place I was always curious to try cafe, As the ambience and vibes just look awesome. But today I got lucky enough to cross the door. And I am glad I did.
Quinda Bowl: This look a bit appleling and different. So I thought to give it a try. It was as ok, but u can miss it.
Veg Sandwich: when this arrive I was already impressed with the presentation and the taste didn't disappointed me. It was just perfect as we want to have something light and this not filled unnecessary with mayo or any other veggies. Fries provided very equally good.
Choco Lava Cake: they say it right "life is short eat desert first". I can assure that is one of the best Choco Lava cake in Pune. You just control yourself. The Choco filling inside the cake and vanilla ice cream with this are a match made in heaven. Just go for this. Presentation was again amazing.

Love to go back again.i just wish I must have got any other server as the one taking our order look a bit confused and clueless.
A nice restaurant. Should try atleast once. The starters are good. The staff is helpful. Ambience is good. The crowd here is decent. Overall experience is good.
went there to grab a quick dinner after a movie. Came out to be sooooper handy. It was quick service and somehow we were placed right outside the service window. we could see the chefs working. It was a pleasure to see an open kitchen and there was a sense of transparency which i liked. So we ordered:
A farm pizza ( thin crust loads id veggies) 5* to that
Crisy sausages: didnt find them too appealing or anything extra ordinary about them as they were just simple sausages battered deep fried. But i likeed the idea behind making them that way ! liked them.
Drinks we ordered some kinda bacardi breezer some cocktail pitcher. loved it.
We were not very hungry as such so that's all we could order.
our girl enjoyed playing jenga while we sat and enjoyed our meal. it was peaceful! 😊 212 All Day Cafe & Bar
This is a very pretty place to hangout!
They offer pretty good food buffet deals along with drinks too. Also, this places has 2+2 on drinks with zomato gold.
You will never get bored here as they have various different chill pill like live music, games like uno, tic tac etc, good music, live screening and more!
Service here is good and with no delay, staffs are really helpful while you're stuck on deciding a a new meal or confused with the names. The outdoor sitting area is really cool and gives good vibes for sure. ❤️
A must go place.

Food 5/5
Service 5/5
Ambience 4.5/5
Amongst so many restaurants in Phoenix mall i decided to give cafe 212 a shot because of it's menu that went with our choice.
Ambiance was quit soothing.
Food is great.
I tried -
1.BBQ Burger
2.non-veg platter
3.Pan seared chicken breast
4.kit kat shake
You have to visit this place at least twice to try their menu.
Non veg platter I will recommend.
Went for a sunday brunch. Lovely ambience and decor and wide spread of breakfast buffet including moctails as well. The best thing was how they serve as per person. If you are ordering pizza for 2 they will provide you with 2 slices (you may order as much as you want though). But it is a great idea to minimize wastage of food in buffet system. Very simple idea applied very smartly, must say. As it is the whole spread is huge, so per portion serving is more than enough. Each and every item is freshly prepared/baked. The cold cuta, salad, dips, bakery items and the hot servings were worth the price. Very cordial staff and cozy atmosphere.
Food has never been disappointing at 212 the ambience outside is refreshing and the management is super friendly. Love 212! You guys should do more music events!
A true sample of excellent hospitality
This feedback is just to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional services that we got from Miss Swati.
Her mesmerizing smile, behavior and helping nature is definitely something to fall in love with
I went there with my parents and had an awesome birthday celebration... Miss Swati's suggestions helped us a lot... She made various delicious and mouthwatering dishes for us that experience was something out of the box...
This birthday was something beyond my imagination for me... Thanks to everyone and Miss Swati again for all the hospitality... Would love to visit again
Cheers🥂
A cool restaurant to hang out with friends with amazing delicacies , specifically chicken roast which was splendid and ravioli which tasted authentic to every bit. service & ambiance was great too.
Phoenix has a lot many options to eat out. I was just searching on zomato a restaurant/pub with a good rating and zomato gold tag in the mall. I saw that 212 has plenty of good reviews & pictures and this is how it became our choice of the day!
So Ambience is like, you'll feel relaxed after being tired roaming in the mall. Their menu is spectacular, one will have many options to choose from, especially desserts. Frankly speaking I haven't seen any place with these many options in dessert and moreover all were "Available" 😀
So we ordered Onion Rings, Cheese Omelette, Spaghetti Bolognese, Penne with Sundried Tomato Cream, Molten Lava Cake & Peanut Butter Pie. And I must tell you star of the show was Molten Lava Cake. Checkout detailed description about each dish below,
1. Onion Rings:
Crispy, Hot served with tomato sauce. When you ask for mayo, you'll be provided the same happily. Taste is Good, not spicy, a very subtle taste.
2. Cheese Omelette:
Very cheesy, Hot stuff...tasted good when we ate with perfectly cooked tomato & potato wedges.
3. Spaghetti Bolognese:
Just one word...Awesome!!! Full of taste...again served piping hot. Don't expect it to be cheesy.
4. Penne with Sunsried Tomato Cream:
I customized this dish, I asked for Bell peppers instead of broccoli. Also I asked if it's possible to make a pink sauce, they agreed without any hesitation. However I did not fell in love with this because it was on the sweeter side...Don't know why! The good thing was that, the chef was generous with the cheese. 😍
5. Molten Lava Cake:
Oh My God! Superb plating!!!
I was really impatient as soon as it arrived, I felt like no need to take picture just dig into it because it looked so tempting...Finally I had a bite of cake crust along with icecream, Lava and the powder which was provided...OMG...it was heaven. Perfect combination of cocoa, salt, sugar, Vanilla.
All chocolate lover out there, YOU MUST TRY THIS!
6. Peanut Butter Pie:
After trying lava cake, obviously my expectation bar was raised quite high but peanut butter pie is a "no-no" ,reason being: Very Very Sweet. You can't taste anything else apart from peanut butter and sugar. Also you can feel a little bit sour taste in some bites. Pie crust was of crushed peanuts. It would have been tasty if the crust was of any biscuit mixed with chocolate. The bottom line is I don't recommend it.
SERVICE is good, still there is a room for improvement.
PRICE was not a pocket friendly but not even heavy on your pocket. We had two zomato gold ids so for us it was quite light on our pocket.
Our OVERALL EXPERIECE was very good, I'll definitely find some time to try their brunch and update this review with some more pictures.
Ambiance
Specious, Comfortable, Bright, and Decorative!
Food
Pan Tossed Chicken
It was nice and crispy, but chicken was bit raw. Taste was good.
When Mac Meets Cheese (MacNCheese)
Best ever dish I ever had!!
Service
Service speed was average but staff was very friendly!!
Cost
Costs are on the higher side, but if you have zomato gold then you need not worry about it at all!
Really great place to chill with margarita and LIIT pitchers. The fried calamari and chicken loaded nachos are perfect accompaniments to the cocktails.
The service at this place was amazing! Our server recommended some really great starters. Their pizzas are a must try if you like thin crust and cheesy pizzas.
Good place, nice set up giving 4 star just becoz they run an offer 50% off but they only serve premium drinks when the offer is ON.
But the staff is too friendly
Rest is all good
212 All day cafe & bar is famous for its sunday brunch and cheesy meals! Yes you can find a lot of cheese dishes on the menu and each and every dish is a winner!
I have been to this place a lot of times(they have zomato gold) and tried quite a lot of dishes.
Their mac n cheese is superb, extra creamy and the jalapenos add ons make it drool worthy!
I love their cheese fondue, its amazing and must try. I bet you will repeat the order in same visit.
The deserts are good as well, havent tried much yet!
Overall, nice ambience, good service and amazing food!
Really glad to have tried this place. We ordered Chargrilled Chicken Breast, When Mac met Cheese pasta, Spicy House Special Pizza and Chicken Skewers. The skewers were really soft and the tomato dip served with them were absolutely tasty! We also loved the pasta and would highly recommend it for pasta lovers. The pizza had a very thin crust and rich toppings..descent taste again. I am a big fan of chicken breast anyway and this place made me fall in love over it again. The black peppercorn jus and mashed potatoes served along makes it yet another must-try from the menu.
Cheers!
Mr Moses . He was the kindest on floor and the service was great . The brunch eas completely filling and satisfying. One of the Sundays where you don't care for quenching hunger but taste buds. I just loved every bit of moment with my another half . Thank you Moses and team for amazing cheesy food .
I was out shopping and stumbled upon this place. I was searching for white owl for a long time and finally got it here. The place is nice with indoor sitting as well as outdoor.
They have a flat 50% discount on the alcohol and zomoto gold for food.
The place is good, slightly on the higher side.food I can't say as I just had the beer and was in a rush. The staff I would say is very friendly and really helpful. The service is really quick.
Will update once again when I try out their food.
This place is so cool.... i mean at first it seemed like a very quiet place you know....But then we were checking out the menu and there were a lot of things that we wanted to try.... So first we ordered a chicken spaghetti since we were craving some noodles... sand i have to say this dish was definitely worth it, it was absolutely delicious and then we felt like we were still hungry so we went ahead and ordered a chicken steak with veggies, the sauce went well with the steak. But i would still prefer the spaghetti. And then we came back to this place the next day as well wherein we had a baked new york style cheesecake and a chicken hot dog with it. I really love the way food is served here... It even looks great that's the best part. It makes you wanna eat the food prepared. Overall this place is great if you love Italian cuisines. Plus the cheesecake i had here was one of THE best cheesecakes in Pune.
After an evening of shopping and going through a fashion transformation at Phoenix mall in Viman Nagar, we were famished and looking to eat something hearty and filling. Thankfully, we didn’t have to go very far as 212 cafe was right there for us.
We decided to sit outdoors because it was a pleasant evening. Before we sat down, we noticed that they had board games which got us really excited. We picked Scrabble and got so engrossed in the game, that when the food arrived, we wanted to continue playing rather than eating! But our rumbling stomachs made us pause the game and devour the food first.
Coming down to the food. We ordered 212 spaghetti carbonara and tenderloin steak. The carbonara was creamy, cheesy and delicious, exactly how good carbonara should be. It had a little less bacon than we would have liked. The tenderloin steak, on the other hand, failed to impress. The meat was too chewy and closer to well done. The black pepper jus was not too flavorful and the garlic mash was not garlicky enough.
Overall, we had a great time at 212 and would go back there again. But we would not be ordering the tenderloin steak again. Looking forward to trying other dishes though.
Really nice place! Loved the concept of food 80 percent cooked! We tried pizza and pasta thr both were just great! They have happy hours too on drinks! So must try :))
Not much crowded place , located on the ground floor of Phoenix Market city, we dropped in for light dinner.
Ordered some cheese overload Fries and Charr Grilled Chicken. Food was good, accompanied by a prompt service.
They have seating location both inside and outside.
LOVED the BBQ chicken pizza and the Rissotto was ultra creamy. Billing process was a bit slow and staff is inefficient and bit grumpy-got the wrong bill and had to wait for a while to get it again. Will definitely visit again :)
The food is awesome . Staff is courteous. Definitely a place to go to in Pheonix if you want a change from the crowded food court. Recommended- Pasta, Panini.
Loved the ambience and more than that loved the food.
The BBQ chicken pizza was really awesome having a thin crust and perfect cheese.
I’d never had a chargrilled chicken breast better than this ever in my life so far. The smashed potato and barbecue sauce were amazing.
The choco lava cake was also good but could’ve improved.
All in all, the food was amazing. Loved it. Service was also good.
Had a lovely experience here. Friendly service. Prompt service. Perfect ambience. Retro English music. Delicious food. Bacon Pasta is a must have. Mashed potatoes with the chicken steak was a treat. The pizza from the specials was really well made. They have games in the outside setting which is a really pleasant area for sitting. Good deals. Perfect value for money. Definitely recommended.
After an infuriating experience and being made to wait for over an hour at another restaurant we decided to dine at 212. And it was so refreshing!
Staff: polite, friendly and prompt
Ambience: if you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the centre court the inside seating is perfect. Music is wonderful too.
Food:
*Chicken wings are always a favourite here. Tasty , tender and clean
*Barbeque chicken pizza: if you're going for a bland palette American style pizza this is on point
* water melon mocktail was impeccable.
Thanks for an amazing meal 212 👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
This place is the best for hangout. Staff provide the best hospitality. One of the best joints in all of Phoenix mall... Worth visiting... No... Worth returning back to it again and again and again # Sandeep
Absolutely brilliant staff, who are courteous as well as acquainted with the menu and the flavours that each dish offers. Good food, lively ambience with the option of indoor and outdoor seating.
My favourites are jalapeno and cheddar poppers, mushroom soup, spicy house veg pizza (I think that's the name), cheese poutine and chocolate mud pie.
Bonus - they have a huge selections of games like taboo, connect 4, uno etc. that you can use to play with your friends and family while waiting for and enjoying the delicious food.
P.S. - Photos are from multiple visits
A beautiful restraunt, really empty on a weekday though. They have happy hours from 4-9pm and their LIITs are really hard. 2 got me tipsy
Moving to the food,
Cheese fondue with bacon - a small fondue pot with Swiss cheese and extra bacon to dip is as close to heaven as you get!
Carbonara pasta - White sauce pasta with poached egg, pulled pork and bacon. It had lots of chunks of bacon and was really filling for one person, though the sauce lacked cheese and creamy smooth texture.
Spinach and ricotta ravioli with mushroom sauce- thin ravioli chunks with a delicious and flavorful mushroom sauce.
Would love to come back for more!
Have visited this place twice and both occasions were for family dinner and it was AMAZING. We sat in there outdoor seating area. We ordered a lot of food so I don't remember any dish any particular but all veg and non-veg dishes are equally delicious. One dish which I very prominently remember is cheese fondue which was yummmm. The food and drinks is really worth every penny spent.
The staff and manager are also very hospitable. They made a perfect sitting arrangement for all of us and we had a gala time.
It was an amazing evening.
On the other other occasion we had taken the lunch buffet and it is totally worth it especially the starters, pasta and the desserts. The drinks are also worth it. For non-alcoholic people do have the Virgin mojito.
This place! Woooo.
The ambience of the restaurant was nice. The lady serving us was knowledgeable and friendly. We ordered starters based on her recommendation. The presentation of the dishes were nice and she made all the efforts to explain every items to us. Awesome service...
Talking about the food, the taste was very very ✌.
Worth visiting "212 All Day Cafe & Bar"
Food is good. But variety is little less when yiu are vegeterian though their sunday brunch has so much variety but normal menu lacks variety but the food tastes really good and ambience is good too.
This place was on my wishlist for a while for the Sunday brunch, I was expecting it to be alright nothing too good but it was better than I expected it to be.. The 1198+tax comes to around 1400 per head,, I was surprised to see LIIT ( LONG ISLAND ICED TEA) in the cocktails list along with Mojito, red and white sangria, wine and premium beer, that's quite amazing for the money you are spending, we chose to sit indoors owing to the scorching heat, seating was nice, salads were good, the starters were good, didn't try the wings, ordered a cheese omelette and pasta Alfredo, the omelette was alright but the pasta was pretty good, read in the reviews that pizzas were disappointing so didn't try them, the desserts were good but I liked one of them the most, don't remember the name but was served in a small glass and had cream and strawberry sauce, attaching some pics. I also ended up drinking 3 long island iced teas, 1 sangria and 1 mojito, the LIIT was nice they did not dilute it or serve it in a small glass or something, overall a nice experience and would visit again someday.
Place: Phoenix market city, Viman nagar.
This was the first stop during our zomato gold powered eatery hop at Phoenix.
What we had?
-Cheese Fondue.
Now, here's a thing about fondues... temperature is a key determinant in taste and texture of the dish.
This one caught the right chord in all aspects. The cheese has the correct consistency, bread-lets were aptly crisp, the quantity can be finished by about 3 people, unless u have a voracious "cheesy-vore" in the group. You might need to ask for an extra serving of bread to finish off the fondue.
-Tripple truffle hummus with lavash
Delectable dish with a passable replication of the flavours of the middle east, tahini showed its pleasant prominence... much to the delight of the tastebuds.
Service and decor:
Service :OK.
Decor:olive green themed contemporary decor. Both inside and outside seating is available.
Shat I would go back for?
-All day breakfast
-Amazing offers on select range of alcohol
we ordered melon mint coolers, ham and cheese sandwich and spaghetti bolognaise. The sandwich was very good and nicely served, while the pasta sause was amazing! It had the perfect mix of tomato, basil and the ragu (lamb) cooked to perfection! Being a pasta lover, i would love to try the rest on the menu on my subsequent visits! :)
Great food Awesome ambience exemplary service by harsh and ashru, must visit its unique set up .. The fish n chips was fabulous, and the lava cake was delightful

We sat outside , watching IPL. So the Ambience is awesome. We had ordered sea food pasta and veg lesagna. Sea food pasta was slightly over tangy in taste. But lasagna was very good. Good to visit place.With Sneha Jadhao

212 is a nice cafe in Phoenix Marketcity. However, the dishes here are unnecessarily overpriced, but tasty. The burrito bowl was super yummy, and the Jamaican jerk chicken was pretty good.The service was quite slow, but overall we had a good time :)
mooseessss
amazing service, cheap and great drinks and great food, overall had the best time on my weeklong visit to Pune... the staff is very polite and friendly, suggested some great food and the environment and ambiance is amazing.... had a great time.. would love to visit again :)
Good food and variety in drinks with good offers. Friendly staff and great customer service. Value for money. Have visited many times before and definitely keep visiting many more times.
I had an amazing Sunday few weeks ago at 212 All day cafe and bar. It was my husband's birthday and I wanted to treat him with some lovely brunch with continental spread and live music. So I zeroed down to this place in Phoenix mall. And boy! it was a good decision. the staff was courteous, the food was great and the live music made our afternoon. I liked the mini salads and mini pizzas the most along with flowing cocktails to go along with great food. the dessert section was equally great. the brunch here is total value for money. :)
This is an awesome place to dine in and this is our second visit here, We dined in there outside area and luckily we got the same table :p. We had gone this time for trying the gourmet pastas and we ordered one lasagne pasta and beetroot aglio olio pasta. Both the pastas tasted amazing. Then we ordered a choco lava 🍰 which too was really mouth watering. Overall we loved the food and ambience. Our service guys Moses was really a charming personality. We would really like to come back everyday if guys like Moses will give us service.
Thanks guys, we will come back again.
Easily one of the best cafes in the city, the loaded nachos and cheese fondue are a must try and so is the chocolate mudpie. The pizza was the only turn off for which I decreased a point or else it was a 5/5 rating. Amazing food. Great ambience.
Recently visited this place. The restaurant is situated in Phoenix and has both indoor and outdoor seatings. I would recommend sitting outdoors if you go in the evenings. The servers are really polite and make sure you enjoy your food. We tried the jalapeño cheddar cheese poppers, ricotta cheese and spinach ravioli and spicy house pizza. I would recommend trying the ravioli if you are a mushroom fan. It was delicious. The pizza was average we thought it was slightly dry. Their menu has changed a lot from the one we see online. The options are less. However, a place for good food and spending a pleasant evening. Do try to drop by !
Quiet and laidback ambience, prompt and polite service and a fine flavour when it comes to food. I ordered Spaghetti Aglio Olio and Italiano Flatbread. The latter could do better in terms of toppings but overall it was a nice lunch.
Ambiance- Because this is the first thing you notice when you enter in a restaurant, I shall write about it first. Brightly lit indoors, huge space in total and also in between tables, which is always a good thing! ;) Various board games available to pass your time while you wait for your order.
Drinks- I ordered a Mojito, since it was a hot Friday afternoon. Took them a bit longer than usual to prepare it, but was refreshing and perfect when it arrived. Also ordered the Chocolate Shake (Disclaimer: calorie-conscious people, please avoid). It was HUGE in size (enough for 2 people). It was decorated with gems and fresh cream on top. Although it was super delish, I would advise to cut down on the size of the shake by one-third.
Food- Their white-sauce pasta just melts in your mouth, it's so fresh and well-made! Their pizzas also are their specialty.
Ordered some fries on the side, which were crisp and looked like they were made from scratch, not like the factory-made, thin, dry, ready made fries you get sometimes in some restaurant, which I'm sure they just buy from the market and dump in the oil. ewww!
Service- very courteous staff! There were 2 people serving us, both with warm smiles and eager-to-help attitude.
The place is not for budget eating, guys. It's causal chic dining, where you can bring along your family or loved ones and have a great time.
I have been to 212 several times, mostly for their big Sunday Brunch. The brunch spread is lavish. Starting from a variety of salads and cold cuts, there is a wide variety of tasty items that one can enjoy on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The choice of eggs is also plenty. Special mention for almond french toast (perfectly done, can't have enough). The grill items can be improved a bit in variety and taste.
Overall, a wholesome experience.
From al-a-carte menu, grilled and roasted chicken, fries and other items are good too. Warm choco lava cake in desserts is a must have. Nice and warm, firm from outside and filled with liquid chocolate that oozes out of it, is irresistible.
The service speed can be improved tough.
Nice place. Good food, good happy hours offers. The location is very well suited for a perfect relaxed evening. The staff is very helpful and the food of the place is good.
212 is one of my favourite restaurants in phoenix mall... The best part of this restaurant is the food. Though the prices are little bit higher, I would definitely recommend this place..

When tired of shopping at the massive Phoenix Market City, 212 is the one place I look to for a chilled meal!
They have a lot of options on the menu, especially after they upgraded the menu, adding more global cuisine options!
The quantities are massive, as evident from the burgers in the pictures, and the quality is always maintained. I love how they serve salads and fries with burgers and sandwiches, and it's more than enough for 2 to share!
212 has an amazingly generous happy hours, and I usually make it a point to avail their offers!
Book an outdoor table for one of the nights when there's a live performance and you're bound to have a fun date night!
P.S. Do try their desserts as well, especially the Tiramisu!
It's on ground floor of Phoenix mall.
As I entered, I was greeted by a sweet girl. (forgot her name, she was very sweet and smiling, already felt happy coming there)
Pros:
- As I said, Awesome service. Happy and great staff :)
- Good food.
- Enough seating.
- Zomato gold offer without any problem.
I visited with my mother and she was happy. So no cons as of now :)
Very few places where I give a All Out Score, but trust me guys this place deserves it. When in Pune visit to this place is a must. Went for a Sunday Brunch and the spread was simply awesome. Every item on the buffet was delicious, there are very few places in the city which would give you above average food in a buffet, but 212 completely blew off my mind. Also ordered Champagne to go with the food, as any other beverage would just would have not complimented the food they served. Also Live Music lifted the spirits all the more and it felt that the Brunch should go on forever. N it is a very reasonable deal when the charge you only 600 for a Brunch and serve you such delicious food. Must visit.
Nice place for chilling with group
Food 4/5 quality 👍🏻 quantity 🤞🏻
Ambience 4/5location is best
Service 4/5

Staff is polite and respectful
Very active and nice service
Menu card is little bit tricky to understand but staff helps you to get whatever you need..
212 All-day Cafe & Bar situated on the ground floor in Phoenix is a good dining destination with a menu which consists of cocktails, comforting small plates, pizza, pasta, home-styled flatbreads and desserts. It makes for a perfect place to enjoy a decadent brunch, afternoon coffee and cake, or an evening of board games, beer and pizza.
The indoors of the cafe is air conditioned. They also have a lovely large outdoor area.
I had gone for the Sunday brunch along with my sister. We chose to sit outdoors to enjoy the food and the live performance.
For brunch, we were first served with lovely hot chicken soup in a small cute cup. Next came iced tea and virgin mojito, a Non-Veg and veg pizza, pork sausages, fish, chicken wings among the other small plates items. They also have pasta, a bread station salad station, mezze station, along with the mains and not to forget the sinful dessert station. I was looking forward for their famous peach baked cheesecake for dessert but unfortunately it wasn't on the dessert station for brunch.
We thoroughly enjoyed having brunch here. Some of the brunch items were delicious but a few failed to impress us. I liked the southern style fried mushrooms, fried green tomato with creamy zesty sauce, chicken soup, chicken wings and salads.
The fish item and paneer from the grill station, non veg pizza and the red velvet cake roll were dissapointing.
212 cafe and bar caters to people of different age groups and so is a good choice for casual dining with a group of friends or families to enjoy Italian, American and European Cuisine. A nice ambiance, good service and quality food is what they offer with board games and live performances.
Food: 3.5/5
Service: 4/5

Great ambience and food.. service is awesome
Would definitely recommend Bellini and caprese salad and pasta aglio olio (one of the best that I have had in india)
Awesome place for lunch/dinner. The food is good and you get 50% off on alcohol till 9PM. Their peach baked cheesecake is a must try. The music nights on Thursday is a great way to spend your evening.
Awesome brunch..And lots of options to choose from and also good service and nice ambiance to hangout...keep the good work 212 Cafe.. Thank you
Went for a sunday brunch. Lovely ambience and decor and wide spread of breakfast buffet including moctails as well. The best thing was how they serve as per person. If you are ordering pizza for 2 they will provide you with 2 slices (you may order as much as you want though). But it is a great idea to minimize wastage of food in buffet system. Very simple idea applied very smartly, must say. As it is the whole spread is huge, so per portion serving is more than enough. Each and every item is freshly prepared/baked. The cold cuta, salad, dips, bakery items and the hot servings were worth the price. Very cordial staff and cozy atmosphere.
Nice place of cafe and bar. Dine in here Pasta, Bbq Chicken Pizza, Cocktails, Masala Fries, Tiramisu, Chocolava Cake, Calamari.
Courteous and Friendly Staff. Service was good. Good decor outside and inside with live music.
Nice food.nice taste . nice staff .. nice music as well.. but no alcohol...
Very good service and great ambience and good rates for happy hours
Went to 212 on a lazy sunday for a heavy yummy sunday brunch and i was not at all disappointed. Wide spread of food to choose from. Desserts are just amazing. I loved the crab salad. Live music, food, ambience, staff everything was so good about this place. A must go for all sunday brunch lovers. A total value for money place.
Food is great. Serving portions are perfect. Buffet spread is good. And they have now started to serve alcohol as well. Service could have been better.
I liked this place a lot. They had awesome offers during happy hours. My favourite wrre the nachos and a dish of chicken breasts. The ambience was all good. They had board games like Scarbble, Jenga etc. But alas! They have shut down now.
An All New 212
212 All Day has already dialed itself into the hearts of its patrons however have recently introduced a lot of new items on their already burgeoning yet impressive menu.
My preferred drink of the evening was the Strawberry R&R. Lovely refreshing flavors, this one hit all the right spots.
Breakfast All Day
The breakfast menu at 212 saw the addition of a few new dishes to rev up your morning. Mrs. Beaton’s Eggs had masala scrambled egg, buttered bun pao, potato slivers and tomato hollandaise while the Curried Porridge was made with lentils, dry red chili, curry leaf and peanuts. Absolutely delicious, both of them however the porridge did remind me of the gharwali dal khichadi. Healthy stuff!
Appetizers
The Eggplant Bruschetta on brie bread, and served with fried onions and fig relish was delectable while the American Fried Chicken with lemon scamorza cheese dressing too had some lovely flavors.
Unfortunately the Grilled Black Pepper Tenderloin was overcooked and over salty. On the flip side, the Chettinad Prawns with spiced mayo had some amazing flavors. #DeliciousDelicious
Poutines
Both the Cheese Overload, with caramelized onions, mushrooms and green peppers and the Shepherd’s Bowl, with minced lamb, corn, peas and sour cream were bang-on in terms of flavors. The mine lamb poutine in particular was brilliant. Gimme a large bowl of these and I’m settled for the evening.
Salads
The 3 Hummus Pita comprising of beetroot, edamame and burnt garlic hummus with crispy pita was decent fare just like the Buratta & Edamame Salad with roasted tomatoes, balsamic drizzle, pink peppercorn and Himalayan salt.
From Mexico and Latin America
From the land of the salsa [the dance, not the dip. Well, the dip too], came a Trio of Chips and Salsa with sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, chipotle, tomato and habanero salsa. Hip gyrating good but not enough to make me break into a passionate salsa.
The Prawns Chimichangas looked a lot like our karanjis. And tasted equally yumm.
Burgers & Sandwiches
From the burgers & sandwiches menu of 212, we tried a few options however it was the Monster Chicken Burger that stole my heart. Filled with chicken kheema patty, fried egg and crispy onion rings, this was some humongous awesomeness. #YumYum
The Mediterranean Panini, with grilled zucchini, yellow squash, black olives and hummus and the Roast Chicken Sandwich with mint mayo, cream cheese, caramelized onions, garlic and spicy coleslaw were pretty good as well.
Pizzeria
The Chettinad Cottage Cheese and Cajun Spiced Chicken pizzas were archetypical examples of Indianized pizzas with typical Indian flavors. Mind you, not everyone liked those. But I was quite taken by the CCC.
From the Grills
From the grills at 212, we tried the Green Pea, Baby Potato & Celery Cakes and Grilled Tiger Prawns in tangerine butter sauce. The cakes were prettily plated wrapped in grape leaves and were tasty however the prawns felt a little undercooked.
Mains
The Pumpkin, Parmesan & Ricotta Tortellini with onion and cilantro sauce had some good flavors but pasta was thick. A little thinner and it would have been the perfect mains.
The Guajillo Lamb Shanks, on the other hand, *was* the perfect mains. Made with quinoa, root vegetables and mint relish, it had brilliant flavors, all thanks to a good combination of meat and quinoa. #YumYum #HighlyRecommended
Desserts
Another thing that 212 All Day is famous for, are their superlative desserts. And it was no surprise that their new dessert options too are kick-ass.
The Tiramisu Éclairs had mascarpone cream and coffee dust on a crispy base of the éclair. Gorgeous to look at and equally finger-lickin’ good to eat. #DeliciousDelicious
The Peanut Butter Pie was everything a peanut butter pie is supposed to be. Anyone who loves peanut butter would love this dessert. Anyone who doesn’t; well, go gorge on the éclairs.
212 All Day has managed to remain firmly lodged in the hearts of Punekars with their fantastic offerings and this new menu is only going to endear them even more.
I tried their pizza and burger both taste amazing.The quality and quantity of food is upto mark.The prices are reasonable.
One of the best bars in viman nagar,Phoenix mall. The place is serves the best beer cocktail that I have ever tasted.
Very nice & wholesome food, good size portions. Quality ingredients, presented impeccably.
Decent place for something new
A nice place to hangout and have some good and delicious food.
Lovely ambience, friendly staff, awesome pizza
Decent menu, fresh produce, comfortable ambience
