Visited this restaurant at phoenix mall for a dinner. Tried few dishes. I liked prawns crackers. It was tasty. Also, tried crispy lamb. It was average. cornflour was more in quantity than the lamb. Also, it was very oily. In the main course we tried Singapore spicy noodles which was amazing in taste. Also, tom yum ramen was good. In desserts, I liked brownie with ice cream. Rates are quite high compared to taste and quantity. Ambiance is good. Service is prompt. Overall, good option to have Chinese food.

Tmc is a newly opened restaurant in Phoenix market City serving some best authentic asian pan cuisine A beautiful spacious place with lovely interior and wall paintings Here i have tried some specialities - Veg sweet corn soup- What else can be better than this for the start. I mean the this is something that would always taste yumm. Veg Manchow Soup - The strong accents of ginger and garlic make it an ideal soup to serve on a damp monsoon day. While the soy sauce gives it an awesome Umami flavour, the topping of fried noodles gives it an exciting crunch and makes it a bit filling too. Definitely one of the must-try's. Mushroom Chilli Dry - The mushrooms were perfectly fried and had the crunchy feel to it. Spring roll basket- The rolls were simply crispy outside and soft inside which gave superb taste. Prawn with chilli lemongrass - Lemongrass Prawns is an Asian main dish served with steamed rice. If you are going for something different, I would say go for it. Prawns schezwan dry - This was by far the best stir fry-ish dish I have had at any place. I would suggest it to anyone! Pork bbq ribs -These ribs were seasoned, and were very tender. Have it with barbeque sauce. That's it! Nothing better than this. These ribs were seasoned, and were very tender. Have it with barbeque sauce. That's it! Nothing better than this. Chicken dim sum, the classic Chinese delicacy, is an uniquely special dish to enjoy on special occasions with friends and family. Veg pad thai with tofu Veg black pepper with rice Veg hot garlic Tofu in hot chilli basil is delicious, flavorful and spicy dish prepared using tofu, fresh basil and sauces. Chicken red curry - This fragrant red curry chicken is a one-pan dish with chicken simmered in a bright, curry-infused coconut milk sauce. You’ll be so pleased with how tender the chicken turns out when you have the first bite Chilli Garlic Noodles - This was prepared with fresh hakka noodles with garlic and chilli flavour. I would say make sure to order it as a perfect starter for your next party. Tom yum veg ramen was loaded with tons of tender shrimp, veggies and yummy tom yum broth base. Coming to Deserts, Kiwi Sparkler is something that I had for first time and trust me, it's amazingly blended. Also the shakes, Brownie Shake & Oreo Cookies Shake had some unique taste which wasn't regular. If you are a snicker fan, then this is for you - Snicker Sundae. Last but not the least, Brownie with icecream gave a perfect end.

Phoenix Marketcity has a very good addition in The Mandarin Cafe and should be your go to choice if you are looking for some authentic Pan Asian food. The ambience is very soothing and has a very cool Asian touch to it. I was there last weekend, tried a few dishes and below are the ones I liked. Chilly Mushroom Dry - I am a mushroom lover and this was done perfectly. Bite sized mushrooms were fried to make them crunchy. Veg Spring Rolls - An assortment of spring rolls with a few varieties - veggie stuffing, cheese stuffing and mix of veggies and cheese. The outer was super crunchy and size was comparatively bigger than Vegetables in Black Bean Sauce - This was a stellar dish. Black bean sauce was amazing, veggies were fresh and crunchy. #DoTry Tofu in Hot basil chilli Sauce - Tofu was very juicy and I loved it. The sauce was also done to perfection. Tom Yum Veg Ramen - I have become a huge fan of Ramens lately as I feel it is a complete meal with a good mix of veggies, noogles and soup. The Ramen here was lovely and I highly recommend it. #MustTry Even with a full stomach I devoured Snickers Sunday and Chocolate Brownie with icecream. Darsan is a Chinese speciality dessert which comprises of crisp fried flat noodles drizzled with honey and served with a big dollop of vanilla icecream. If you have a sweet tooth and like to try new things, this is something for you.

The Mandarin cafe Pune is a newly opened Pan Asian restaurant in the sprawling Phoenix market city mall. I was here to try their delicacies and was impressed by the fare. Let's start! AMBIENCE (3/5): The restaurant features dimly lit interiors with comfortable seating arrangement. The hung cylindrical lights add a touch of beauty and accentuate the decor. FOOD(4/5): I loved the food here. Barring one or two, everything was just delicious. STARTERS:We tried the dimsums, soups, crispy mushroom dry and totally loved all of them. The crispy mushrooms need a special mention, and you must try them! MAINS: The mains were equally fantastic as well. Starting with tofu pad Thai noodles , we also had veg black pepper with rice, veg hot garlic, veggies in black bean sauce, tofu in hot chilli basil and finally finished it with a delicious bowl of hot ramen. The ramen was a burst of fresh flavors and the watery broth sipped slowly gave a nice, warm feeling. The other items were excellent in taste with the perfect balance of ingredients and that shows the skills of the chef. The black bean sauce curry and ramen should definitely not be missed. Ended our scrumptious meal with a hot brownie topped with vanilla ice cream and darsaan(flat fried noodles tossed in sugar syrup, honey and served with a side of ice cream). Both the desserts were fantastic and we ended on a high note. SERVICE (5/5): Full marks to the service, the waiters are friendly and are polite. The orders were served in quick time and the entire atmosphere was quite nice. VALUE FOR MONEY (4/5): If you're in the mall and craving some Asian, then look no further. The place has normal prices and doesn't compromise on the quality or quantity. A good place to try if you're all for Chinese!

The Mandarin Cafe is all you need for some quality Pan Asian food when at Pheonix Mall. We were called in here to try out their menu , and here's my recommendations should you visit the place- Prawn Shezwan Dry- they have big pieces of prawns, Trump would call it HUGEE , and so is the case with the portion size. The prawns are mildly spiced and tossed in veggies and are delish. The Tom Yum Veg Ramen, I had the vegetarian version , but they have their noodle game on point , and should you happen to go in for the non vegetarian versions, I think this is gonna be some straight up soul food, but works great as a vegetarian option too. Chilly Mushroom Dry- Bite sized pieces of fried mushroom and works great as a starter. Veg Spring Rolls- whatever be the filling, is all in the wrap, and the crispy golden crunchy outer goodness they have is on point. Black Bean Tofu- There's been a very few places in town where Ive had good tofu and liked it, this place is one of them. The place has a clean ambience and can be your go to for having some quality Pan Asian cuisine , as they have food influenced from Indonesia, China , Vietnam , Malaysia, etc. and not your regular Chinese fare.

If you are in Phoenix mall and looking for Chinese, Thai and Asian food then Mandarin cafe is must visit. Recently visited this place and tried so many things from here. Listing below the dishes which are highly recommended. Kiwi Sparkler: The best beverage to start the meal with, Kiwi and hint of lime made an awesome mocktail. chilli Mushroom Dry : Juicy and fried Mushroom, it was too good in taste even non vegetarians like it more than the nonveg appetizers. Veg Spring Rolls : It was basket of Spring Rolls ,one with just veg filling and one with Veg and cheese filling. Both were good. The Tom Yum Veg Ramen There are very few places in pune where you get good Ramen and this was really good. #musttry Tofu in Hot Basil Chili Sauce Tofu in this was fresh and soft, flavors of Basil chili sauce made it more juicy and tasty. Vegetables in Black Bean Sauce I tried the Black Bean sauce for the very first time. And I must tell you this is the bestest dish I had from here. The vegetables were crunchy and full of black bean sauce flavors. Veg Burnt Garlic Rice The rice was cook to the perfection ad the Burnt Garlic added charm to this rice. I just loved this. The Burnt Garlic chunks were too good. In desserts I tried Snicker Sundae, Chocolate Brownie with Ice Cream and Darshan , all three were good. Overall a must visit place for Chinese, Thai and Asian food!!!

A Fine dine restro which have great vibes to be celebrated with any loved ones. Serves asian authentic cuisine at pheonix market city which is great place to be after shopping. Ambience is soothing. Coming to food : Veg Malha Sizzler - Burst of flavours and spices in the taste. The sizzle adds more aromas to it. Must have for vegetarians. Veg Spring Rolls- the Outer layer was perfectly cooked crisp. The fillings were also optimum . Tofu in black bean - Healthy and delicious. Week cooked tofu with black bean saucy base. Pork Ribs - Cooked to perfection was bit on oily side which could be perfectly managed. However taste was promising. Chicken Dimsums - soft and thin outer layer with juicy fillings and chutney to accompany is what perfect Dimsums is to expected. Kiwi Cooler / Browine shake / spicy mango mojito recommended in drinks. Finised with Browine with ice cream which was perfectly choosen to end the meal on happy note. Quality and Quantity is what they believe in so Can seem overpriced but do give it a try.

So this is my second visit On my first visit I gave them 3 stars but now they have improved a lot in taste, service and offers too. Haha. On our first visit I had Ramen which was ok in taste but this time we have tried their non veg combo which was so pocket friendly and yumm. In the combo they are serving 3 food items and 1 drink. And the experience was good. We liked the quality and portion of the combo. Must try the combos if you are in Phoenix Marketcity.

So we recently visited this newly opened cafe in Phoenix market city and were hoping to binge on some good Chinese food. And this indeed was a good choice. They had Indian Chinese along with twist of authentic flavours in some of their dishes. For appetizers we tried - Sichuan chilli baby corn, Crunchy veg Vietnami style, Honey chilli potato, Black bean tofu And Veg chinese pizza. For Mains - Vegetable in hot garlic sauce, Exotic vegetable sizzler & Chilli garlic veg noodle. And Desserts included Darsaan (Honey noodle with icecream), Dates Pancake & chocolate brownie with icecream. Must try if your tired of shopping and looking at a change in mood & flavour!

Visited this restaurant yesterday afternoon. I am going to post this review basis my and my friends experience. Pros & Cons: * Space is good * Very neat and hygienic * Staff was good and cooperative. They were all wearing masks and gloves * Alternate seating to maintain social distancing * great offers on food. We got a good deal @ 299 + taxes that included rice/noodles + veg/non-veg Manchurian + 2 piece momos + 1 mocktail * All other food items were also available on a discount * Quantity of food was good for one person. * Food - Noodles/Rice - Quiet nice Veg/Non Veg Manchurian - Average Momos - Quiet good (beat out of the lot) Mocktail - Sugar injection (not good at all) I would recommend restaurant to add fresh lime or soft drink with the combo meal. I would like to visit again and shall try something other than the combo. 😇👍

The only thing phoenix mall was missing is an authentic Pan Asian cafe and finally they have got one in the form of the mandarin cafe and trust me this place is marvellous. Recently I got an opportunity to visit this exquisite cafe and here's what I think:- Ambience:- When I first walked in, I was completely flabbergasted with the gorgeous paintings, beautiful lobby and cute little seating booths. Its a tremendous setting for not just friends reunion but a family dinner as well. Food:- The food was very unconventional yet authentic, we tried a lot of things and the few things I loved in particular were:- 1)Black Bean Tofu 2)Veggies with Black Pepper Bowl Rice. 3)Tom Yum Veg Ramen 4)Veg Spring Roll Quality:- The food was served piping hot to us and everything was very fresh and delicious. Service:- The service was pretty amazing and the serving staff was very understanding and attentive as they were serving all the dishes once we were finished. Hygiene:- The place was really hygienic and the dishes were change after every course. Cost:- The cost is on a little higher end but its all worth as we get the taste of uniqueness and authenticity at the outlet and that is priceless in my opinion.

Had Asian Authentic cuisine at themandarincafepune located at Phoenix Marketcity.Started with refreshing Kiwi and Lime Margarita.Veg Chinese Pizza was very delicious and cheesy.Vietnamese vegetable was something unique and crispy.Honey Potato was the best part.Berry and mint mojito was more into sweet berry side than mint.It was just the tofu in black bean which wasn't that great. Ultimately,brownie with ice cream gave an amazing ending to the evening.Nice ambiance and good food ,perfect for fine dine !

Undoubtedly among the best Chinese/ Asian restaurants in Pune. Appears bit pricey but considering the portion size its VFM for a fine dining. They changed their name from yo!china but the full flavors, balanced taste and aromas confirms everytime that the chef here is the same culinary masterchef! They accept dineout discounts etc. Ambience is good for family, groups and couples too. The best part is the tap Beer... unadulterated pure bliss!!!

Well i guess this cafe is renamed recently as i have visited the cafe 2-3 times earlier. I liked the ambience although the space is not abundant but the good choice of furnitures and ergonomics makes place a cozy one for 5-6 member group. As i always order for some ethenic food, so this time i eyed on some bowl food with soupy base and the waiter just got my choice hot and delicious delivered within no time. Even they have brought additional bamboo shoot streaks when i asked for it when not found in my miso soup bowl.
