Any amount of words are less for describing the fantastic lunch I had at Koji. The dining room is tall, splendid and full of glamour designed by the famous design company Spin which from the very beginning of the experience; i.e entering the restaurant gets you engaged and involved in the upcoming unbelievable gastronomic experience. I went for the Dim Sum lunch and it was out of this world! Starting with the soup, I took the Chicken Manchow soup and it was fantastic; had delicate flavours and relishing it with fried noodles felt divine and an amazing start to the meal. Later an assortment of Dim Sums came flying to my table - XO Prawn, Pan Fried Shanghai, Classic Hargow & Sui Mai. Every one of them were finger licking good. The way they were presented, the flavours, the shape, the ratio of filling to dough, everything was on point and no room for complaints. Then came the Cheung Fun which was the best I ever had. The sauce which it came up with was really complimenting well with the Crispy Prawn Cheung Fun. At last the Dessert, Lemon grass Ice cream with Chocolate pockets was also decent. The ice cream had a hint of lemon grass flavour and the mouthful with chocolate pocket was delightful yet not extraordinary which is okay. Not a big deal at all. The only complaint I have is that I was told at the end that the portions that can be ordered are unlimited in the Dim Sum lunch on Saturday When the food is so good, you want to fill up extra lol. Also, server attentiveness is the area where Koji can work. But it’s fine, I can ignore that in front of such a wonderful experience because anyways what I was served was enough for a single person. I have to specially mention Chef Gopal & Chef Arun for taking the time out of the Kitchen for having a great conversation and cooking such amazing dishes for me. The special dim sum portion at the end was also very delightful. Also, Sarita & Boo Boo (sorry for the wrong spelling) deserve a shoutout for serving me so well! Koji by far has served me the best asian food I ever had in Pune and I mean it,...
