FOC - Flavours Of China, Thane West — Restaurant in Thane

I urge everyone to visit this amazing place. We were looking for new Chinese restaurants on Zomato and our search ended on FOC. While searching for new places we definitely look at the menu and of course the pictures. We were very attracted by a specific dish/picture. It was chicken lollipop but green in color. We had to try this. It is called the FOC chicken lollipop. The sauce for this chicken lollipop was spinach and mint based. A must try dish. The chicken was very soft and not covered in nasty dough. We also had Prawns Lemon coriander (pls excuse me if the name of the dish is not correct). Perfectly cooked prawns in a very subtle sauce. The lemon flavor was not overwhelming. We also had the basic chicken lollipop (just in case the green lollipop went south). Again the chicken was well cooked, crispy, and very soft. Not covered in nasty dough. For main course we had Red Thai curry with chicken fried rice. The Thai curry was very well balanced in flavors, with nice veggies and soft well cooked chicken. Very creamy and very delicious. A big thanks to the staff as well. Very good service. Also, very good ambience. Highly recommended. Also they give very good kimchi salad as a 'timepass' along with the traditional fried noodles...

Ambiance: As I entered, the red lanterns and traditional decor immediately set the tone for an authentic dining experience. The blend of modern comfort and cultural elements created an inviting atmosphere.

Service: The staff’s attentive service enhanced the dining experience. Their knowledge about the menu and willingness to assist with recommendations added a personal touch to the evening.

Menu: The extensive menu boasts a delightful array of regional Chinese dishes. From the savory dumplings to the aromatic stir-fries, each dish showcased the restaurant’s commitment to authenticity and quality.

Standout Dishes: The Peking Duck was a showstopper, with its perfectly crispy skin and succulent meat served alongside delicate pancakes and flavorful sauces. Additionally, the Sichuan Mapo Tofu packed a punch of flavours, balancing heat and richness expertly.

Overall Experience: FOC delivers not just a meal but a culinary journey through the diverse regions of China. The combination of delectable dishes, attentive service, and inviting ambiance makes it a must-visit for both connoisseurs and newcomers to...

I recently visited Flavour of China in Thane and honestly, it was a huge disappointment. The food was absolutely not worth the price – highly overpriced and with a taste that doesn’t even come close to authentic Chinese. If you’re a true lover of Chinese cuisine, you’ll be utterly let down. The dishes we ordered were bland, oily, and nowhere near the standard expected for the rates they are charging.

Yes, the service staff was polite and decent, but what’s the point when the core experience – the food – is this bad? For the kind of money they are charging, one expects rich flavors, freshness, and authenticity, but what we got was the complete opposite.

If you’re looking for genuine Chinese food, I’d strongly suggest you save your money and go elsewhere. This place is nothing but overpriced hype with...
