Pincuk a.k.a. Lord Folklore — Restaurant in Navi Mumbai

The land of Asia has always been replete with the freshness of natural as well as healthy flavours. The subtle yet delightful delicacies of Asia have been gradually conquering hearts. One more such place which is all set to win hearts and has an equally exquisite name is Pincuk! Pincuk- the word basically means banana leaf and stands true to the theme of the restaurant. Stepping into the place and looking through the pieces of artwork and the colour schemes, it gives you an undercover vibe. A dim light on the ceiling and a portrayal of Buddha on the wall surely does have to say something! However, do not mistake it to be a dull one! Instead, the other walls show an equally chirpy and contrasting side of Asia with some brilliant decor ideas. We pretty much liked the setup out there. Coming to the food, we had quite a bunch of dishes out here. We started off with the exotic tofu starter and it definitely was a good start. The tofu was stuffed with a whole load of veggies. Topping it was a spicy and delicious flavour of the chilli bean sauce. The texture and smoothness were on point. If tofu is the choice you make, then this definitely is one hell of a dish. The next dish was the paneer pattaya starter. Perfect blocks of paneer coated in green curry paste made for a soft as well as a delicious surprise. The basil and the curry meddled well with each other to give a great taste overall. We loved this dish. Next on the list was the hakka wonton. Chopped up spring onions, cabbages and many more were wrapped up in sheets of wonton. They were dripping in the sweet spicy sauce with a flavour of garlic bits and an essence of garlic in the sauce as well. To go along with our meal, we ordered a red riding hood drink along with the bubble berry drink. The red riding hood was a fresh watermelon based drink with an essence of lime. The drink was great and had a flavourful taste too. The bubble berry drink had a bubbly and tangy flavour and was equally good. To go with all their dishes, they have a range of dips like the spicy schezwan dip, zesty Pineapple chilli dip, green chilli dip as well as the sweet sour light soya dip. They go well with the food and definitely are a hand in hand combination. For the mains, we tried the massaman curry served with rice. This was a coconut based curry loaded with veggies and had a Thai taste to it. The rice was served perfectly boiled and the food was soulful and comforting. We even tried their Butter tossed noodles in soy sauce and wine. These were lovely and had a very subtle flavour. A hint of wine with these noodles made it slick and tasty. We loved these dishes. Our meal ended with the khanom thuai dessert and fried banana pancake dessert. Khanom thuai is a traditional thai dessert with the base of coconut. This coconut pudding was topped and served with caramel sauce. The combination was good and had kind of a toffee touch to them. The fried banana pancake was one of a kind dessert. Rolled up pancakes with slices of banana were served with a dollop of ice-cream. Soft fluffy and delicious, they were really great. We loved these totally. Overall, the place is amazing. Delicious food, and a perfect ambience is what defines them. So roll your way up to them to dive into the richness of Asian cuisine!

The place was surprisingly small. The interiors were different from the usual with rustic chairs painted in red, yellow & green colors. Street style painted walls giving it a different aura. I think they mostly get delivery orders because the place was empty when we arrived at 1pm. But i would recommend to go there and enjoy your meal as the service is good and thier dishes tastes good when it is piping hot. I was dissapointed when they said miso soup was not availiable as i had gone there to taste that in particular. So i tried other stuff on thier menu.

Veg Tom Kha Soup (4/5) - Very rich, creamy and healthy full of vegetables and tasted like coconut curry.

Sichuan chicken dumplings (4/5) - This was full of black pepper and chilli flakes so was too spicy which numbed my tongue but I liked it.

Scallion prawns (4/5) - You could taste the prawns in this. It was awesome and goes well with thier special soya sauce which deserves a special mention as it had so much of flavour that a small drop was enough.

Niwatori Ramen (3/5) - This one was not as good as per my expectations.The shitake musrooms saved it as it had such a deep flavour and they had put so many here. Noodles were not that great and soup was decent.

Khanom Thuai (4/5) - This is a Custard having milky coconut flavour, they had served this with chocolate sauce. I don't usually like custard but this one was amazing.

Red Riding Hood (1/5) - Please avoid this one as this was nothing but sugary water with sabja.

I'll surely visit again to try miso soup and...
