Baobab - Pune

Overall it was a good experience. Only problem was the delay in getting the food. They took a lot of time.

Ate here a while back when restaurants were still open. I loved the vibe they had going with their ambience. Not too gaudy, yet it didn’t seem bland or boring. It was perfectly simple. I’m talking about the outdoor seating though, not sure how it looked inside. The food in general was really good, but I particularly liked this Thai fried rice they had. I think it’s called Pad Kaprao or something along those lines. We liked that so much we ordered two bows of it. In general a good place with a great atmosphere. I’m looking forward to go back when it reopens.

Baobab is one of those all rounder restaurants which serves you a variety of cuisines and drinks with an ambience suitable for dates /meetups and a prime location. As the name suggests we tried their Oriental cuisine and the taste was great. Also the service and hospitality was very warm. <br/ What we had <br/ Iced Mango Colada : I had this blend of mango and coconut for the first time and it was too good. The texture was just perfect, not too thick nor too thin. Both the flavours of mango and coconut with an essence of vanilla was distinguishable. A must have mocktail !!<br/ <br/ Starters :<br/ Spanakopita is a starter for Spinach lovers like me The filling of Spinach, corn, onion and cheese inside phyllo sheets was scrumptious. The chutney they're serve alongside also compliments the pies very well. Malay Penang Cottage Cheese was diced Paneer, onion and bell peppers tossed in peanut sauce and garnished with parsley. The presentation was upto the mark and so was the taste. This was somewhat similar to chilli Paneer.<br/ <br/

If you are looking for a date place, or dinner with family, or hunting for good dinner place, or want to experience a fancy dinner, Baobab is the answer! We absolutely loved this restaurant. Especially the ambience as it is located in a well made complex called 'the Mills '. The uniqueness about this place is the menu. I think the preparation is very well crafted and there is always someone from the staff helping you out for selection. The people suggesting you are very well versed with the food items and it 's taste flavours. They also ask you what your choice is and accordingly suggest and even arrange for something if it 's not on the menu! The feel of this place is superb. You can sit in the open and overlook the wide area in front of the other restaurants or sit inside in the amazing chairs. I 'd love to try all items from the menu!

Great food at a great price! Love the fish plates as well as the salads. Chain restaurant that doesn't feel like a chain! Love this place!
