If I have to make it simple, Mystic Flavours was very basic ambiance serving extraordinary food ! My visit here was planned a month back and I could not go due to several reasons. But I am so glad that I could make it. This place is a totally new discovery for me. And it has become my favorite in the first visit itself.
Staff is very welcoming and eager to serve the new innovations by team. Chef Pramod Singh is from Uttarakhand and he definitely brings the the skills of the region. Testing menu was decided by the chef.
From the food menu that we tested, Paneer Prunes Kabab, Dhaniya Tandoor Pomfret, Rajasthani Chicken Curry, Mixveg Kofta in Coconut Curry are #HighlyRecommended by me. If you are here for a meal and a paneer lover then dont miss Paneer Prunes Kababs. Stuffing is so unique between the layers of fresh paneer. Tandoor Pomfret was so spot on with its green marination and freshness of the fish. Rajasthani Chicken Curry was a spicy, thick, heavy, slow cooked delicious gravy. I can't stop revving about the Mixveg Kofta curry. Navratan koftas in rich malaidar gravy sweetened with fruits only unlike generally used sugar.
The Laksa Veg Soup was also very flavourful and wholesome. It was a kind of mini meal. Crisp Fried Sichuan Chicken with Smoked Peanuts was another #MustTry. Tender juicy chicken.
All three mocktales served were amazing combination which I tried for the first time. I can recommend all three without a doubt. Sandstorm was a mix of passion fruit syrup, mint, orange juice, a unique sweet n sour taste. #LovedIt. To serve the Cranoelder mocktail, the bartender himself came to the table. A little theatrical of burning the fresh Rosemary and infusing the some in the drink through a pipe took place. Loved this one as well which was a mix of elderflower syrup, rosemary syrup, fresh pineapple, cranberry juice and that fresh Rosemary smoke.
Post lunch I had a small chit chat with owner Gauri ji. Our eureka moment was both having kolhapur as hometown ! She and the chef both are exprimentive and take pride in what she is running here. I am super happy about discovering this restaurant. Do try and share your...
Read moreMystic Flavours is in Warje and the highway touching restaurant is whatever you want it to be. It’s perfect for a casual lunch, and it works just fine for a dinner with some parents. It’s also nice enough for a quaint anniversary dinner, but it isn’t so prohibitively expensive that you couldn’t come here with a friend on a Friday night. And feel free to bring whomever.
If you are a classic soup person then a small bowl of traditional Tomato Basil Soup will lift your spirits or if you are experimental one then try the unorthodox Potpie Soup which has a rich, creamy, hearty soup along with flaky, buttery pie crust crackers and it comes in a cup.
Health-conscious visitors can get Watermelon and spinach salad with balsamic vinegarette dressing and the vegans will surely like the Beetroot Cottage Cheese salad with mint and maple syrup.
The flatbreads here have a thick base and the toppings are not overwhelming. We would advise not to go for these, but if you do then the Spicy Chicken and Shrimp Pesto are a decent bet.
Next on the list of must-order is their Shakshuka. This Israeli one-skillet dish of eggs poached in a spicy, vegetable-laden tomato sauce, pepper, garlic, onions, cheese and herbs. Order it for breakfast or lunch or dinner. It works perfectly! The Shrimp Coconut Tacos with Pineapple is something that requires a developed taste. Stay away if you like your tacos spicy, but if you have an open mind then these soft shell tacos will surely impress you.
The Jerk Chicken available here is one of its kind and will surely satisfy your cravings for a good chicken sauce. In other chicken dishes, the Chicken drumsticks with mashed potatoes and reduced orange vodka sauce is something worth a try and their Orange Chicken and Pineapple Glazed Chickenwings are quintessential if you have drinks on your table.
Offering a variety of hand-picked desserts, The Walnut Maple milkshake served in a skull-shaped jar and the Popcorn Milkshakewere our picks. A massive array of ice creams and cheesecake will make you visit again just...
Read moreI recently had a great meal at Mystic Flavour in Warje, Pune. The restaurant has a cozy, welcoming vibe, and the staff were friendly and attentive.
Here’s a quick look at what we tried:
Harissa Chicken- The Harissa Chicken was delicious! The chicken was juicy and perfectly marinated in a smoky, tangy harissa sauce. The heat was balanced well and didn’t overpower the dish—just enough kick to keep things exciting.
Fettuccine Pasta - This dish was a pleasant surprise. The pasta was cooked just right—soft but not mushy—and the creamy sauce was rich without being too heavy. Topped with some fresh herbs and Parmesan, it was simple but very satisfying.
Red Chicken Thai Curry - The Red Chicken Thai Curry was a standout. The coconut milk-based curry was creamy and comforting, with a nice balance of sweet and spicy. The chicken was tender, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. Paired with rice, it was a perfect dish.
Pomfret Masala - The Pomfret Masala was probably my favorite dish of the evening. The fish was fresh, flaky, and cooked perfectly, with a tangy, spiced masala that didn’t overpower the fish’s natural flavor. It was amazing with naan!
Paneer Chilli - The Paneer Chilli was also a hit. The paneer was crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the sauce had the perfect mix of spice and sweetness. The peppers and onions added a nice crunch, making it a great vegetarian option.
Why 5 Stars? - I’m giving Mystic Flavour a well-deserved 5-star rating. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The service was excellent, and the overall experience was relaxing and enjoyable. If you’re in Pune and looking for great food with a mix of Indian and international flavors, this place is a...
