Review for Pani, Camana Bay – Authentic Flavours and Exceptional Hospitality
Our recent visit to Pani at Camana Bay was an absolute delight. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting ambience, complemented by elegant décor and soothing Bollywood instrumental music playing softly in the background — creating a perfect blend of comfort and cultural charm.
We began with the Tomato Soup and Dhai Puri, both wonderfully prepared and beautifully presented. The soup was smooth and flavourful, while the Dhai Puri delivered a delightful balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy elements. We also enjoyed crispy Papad, a perfect light accompaniment. For the main course, we had the Paneer Biryani, which was aromatic and well-prepared with tender pieces of paneer and perfectly cooked rice. Do note, for those accustomed to traditional Indian spice levels, the medium variant may feel mild — it’s worth requesting a spicier version to suit the Indian palate.
A special mention to JayaPrakash (JP) for his excellent service throughout. He was attentive, polite, and ensured that our dining experience was comfortable and memorable. His professionalism and warm hospitality truly enhanced our visit.
As this was our first time dining at Pani, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary pudding, a thoughtful and delicious gesture to end the meal.
Overall, Pani combines authentic Indian flavours, refined ambience, and outstanding service. A highly recommended dining experience for anyone seeking quality Indian cuisine in the...
Read moreSaint Patrick dinner there. Food was quiet nice and good, nothing more, not too expensive for Camana Bay and Grand Cayman. Problem with my drink order. I ordered a Prosecco 40 Ci, the waiter didn't show us the bottle, fill our glasses and left. When I started to drink, I didn't recognize the taste of this wine. A quick look at the bottle, and I called the waiter. He said that it is the wine I ordered, I shaw him the bottle, there was no mention of prosecco, just Italian sparkling wine and honestly was a bad one (no more than 9 CI in a liquor shop). I called the manager, he said they have no more prosecco and they gave this to us (with no previous advise - means for the same price) Not professional and not HONEST at all... Finally, we ordered for cider... The manager told us that 'it is for the house', it means offered because they tried to lie... When I asked for the check, ciders were billed. I talked again with the waiter about it, finally, they canceled it. No more news of the manager... A bad experience, so be careful there and they have 3...
Read moreWow didn't expect Cayman to have such great Indian food with an ambiance like that of Pani! Great selection of food and friendly service. Highly recommend when in Grand Cayman!
[Ambiance] You're in the heart of Cayman Bay which is beautiful, specially in holiday season with so many lit up trees around if you sit outside. The inside space is huge, dimly lit and tastefully done. Funniest part is the songs they play which are very old non popular bollywood songs. Also try and spot the hidden bathroom dinner inside!
[Food] Very flavourful Kadhai Paneer and above average Dal Makhani. Tried the Sufiyana Paneer tikka for appetizer which was excellent. Portion sizes were good, we shared these dishes amongst 3 people. The best part is that every main comes with rice, but if you're not a rice fan like me, replace it with a bread (roti or naan) for no extra cost! Loved the paapad and mint chutney they serve too. Great place for vegetarians with so many...
