Exotica’s brunch is quite good - very reasonable in terms of price and have a lot of food options. The price differs for alcoholic and non alcoholic brunch options. The buffet has a bunch of starters and a large spread from salads, soups, Indian main course, Chinese options and a few live counters for sea food and desserts. The dessert section is also quite elaborate. The service could be slow sometimes but all in all it’s a good option for brunch. They have loads of outdoor seating space and also have live music sometimes. You will also find a full bar menu. They have valet for parking which is a nice bonus.

Very good place. Open air, covered from top. Good service. Multi cuisine restaurant and bar. Ambience is really nice. Clean washroom. Ample parking available. Good for kids and families.

Best place to hang out with family and friends, best thing is the ambiance it's rooftop and decent crowd. They follow the covid guidelines, staff is well mannered and mask done. Food is awesome and quality also good. I'll recommend this place for dinner date. Will definitely visit again 🙂🙂.

Very Extravagant place. Great for dining. Top notch ambience and great food. They have renovated the place. Was quite different earlier. They have a valet so do not worry about your cars. Being in a Tech Park, there are temperature checks done at the entrance respecting the covid norms. The place is at the roof top of Tower C. All the food is amazing so go ahead and explore. Our orders from the Bar menu included 1. Miracle Queen: strong with a mix of different spirits. A little Hard on the throat but a must try if you wish to go with something out of the box. 2. Step to Heaven: very strong and has a mix of 6 strong spirits and very harsh on the throat. The place could be a little heavy on your budget so here's a tip- Make sure you avail Zomato Pro over here and get a discount as it could drastically bring the figures down but over all it is a wonderful place for dinner.

Better luck next time they have stopped the buffet now only a la carte. A la carte, the food was good, tried Almond Brocolli soup, crispy corn, chicken biryani, chicken tandoori. Overall it's a good experience to dine.

Best place to spend time with your friends and family and for co-operate meetings. Mouth watering food with good ambience & quick service. Must try drums of heaven, mushroom in starters and in main course their butter chicken is one of the best butter chicken one could ever have in Pune.

It is better to book a table as this place happily consumes a few hours of your life. The location is lovely n windy esp during monsoons. There was no live music, the primary disappointment would be the noise. Despite the welcoming openness it was a cacophony of people n speakers music. Moving onto the food. The starters n mocktails were good, servers were prompt n friendly. Good spring rolls n baby corn. Nice chunks of tandoori chicken. Grilled fish n prawns were delicious. At the buffet spread, bad pastas, good hakka noodles n chilli sauce, clear chicken soup, chole recommended, chicken main dish was good too. Pani puri was terrible. Dessert section was limited. The kheer kadam variant is recommended, gajar halwa was over sweet. Pastry treats were normal, strawberry ice cream was surprisingly delicious. Compared to the price spread was limited. Worth your visit and judgement.

Very nice place for outings with family and work colleagues. I visited during late lunch hours and was sitting in the outdoor dining area which interior and view wise was very pleasant but even with the cooling water sprays, was a little hot. They also have inside seating available but their outdoor seating area is much more beautifully decorated. My expectations from the food was very high but it didn't really live upto it but overall it was good. Visit at night for best experience.

Those times when you randomly decide to go out for dinner and that place turns out to be one of the most exotic restaurants. You should definitely visit this place if you are looking out for amazing food, great hospitality and some really nice cocktails. This place is as good as it looks in these pictures, even better in real. Looking forward to visiting again.

It's always disappointing when a great-looking place falls short in some key areas, and unfortunately that was my experience. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the lovely decor and ambiance - the space is bright, airy, and beautifully designed, with lots of natural light and eye-catching details. However, my enthusiasm quickly faded once I started interacting with the staff. I found them to be quite unfriendly and unresponsive, with little interest in making my dining experience enjoyable. When I asked for recommendations or clarification about certain dishes, they seemed annoyed and uninterested in helping me. This made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable throughout my meal. Sadly, the food didn't redeem the experience either. Although some dishes looked impressive ,they were ultimately quite disappointing in terms of taste and quality. Some dishes were undercooked, while others were overly greasy or bland. It was clear that the kitchen wasn't putting much effort. About the charges- They applied service charges which government has already stopped long back, food is over expensive which is worth less. Adding two starts for the place and Removing three stars because food quality is average and staff attitude is very bad.

The place is Very Beautiful, greenery , wooden & stone interiors was very well. There’s Valet Parking available. Water being sprayed continuously from top all over made the atmosphere cool even in the burning heat outside. It was simply Pleasant. Good Variety in the menu and slightly over priced. mocktail was good. Overall the Food and ambience was good.

Food was yummy. This place has a great ambience both in indoor and outdoor seating areas. Service was very quick. Staff is friendly. Food is a bit on the costlier side but doesn't fail to impress with the taste. Overall a great place for dates, formal dinners/lunches, etc. Would highly recommend to visit at night. They put candles on the tables and it just looks soo beautiful!

Located in the center of Yerwada - its a good place to hangout with friends or dine as couple. Went there for corporate team party for buffet dinner. We were served with 3 starters - Veg & Non-Veg. The main course options are varied but the dessert spread is the highlight. The ambience is colorful & amazing with gardens, small fountains & a huge fish tank and top it up has al fresco setup. Bit on the expensive side. Can visit here for special occasions.Always crowded - no difference b/w weekdays or weekends as this restaurant is in close proximity to lot of workplaces/IT parks. Valet parking is available.

A Memorable Fine Dining Experience at Exotica (AKA Zafraan), Yerwada, Pune Rating: ★★★★☆ (4 out of 5 stars) I recently had the pleasure of dining at Exotica, also known as Zafraan, located on the 7th floor rooftop of Panchshil Tech Park - Tower C in Yerwada, Pune. This fine dining establishment left a lasting impression on me with its exquisite ambience, impressive vegetarian cuisine, and attentive service. The location of Exotica is simply stunning. Situated on the rooftop, it offers a captivating view of the surrounding area. The setting creates a serene and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a memorable dining experience. Whether it's a romantic evening or a gathering with friends, the rooftop ambiance adds a touch of elegance to the overall dining experience. The restaurant primarily attracts a corporate crowd, which contributes to the sophisticated atmosphere. The professional and courteous staff members are well-versed in providing excellent service, ensuring that guests feel welcomed and attended to throughout their visit. Now, let's dive into the culinary delights I savored at Exotica. To start, I indulged in the Vegetarian Manchow soup, which was rich in flavors and had a delightful balance of spices. The Spinach Cheese & Corn Roll was a delicious appetizer that pleased both the eyes and the palate. It was perfectly crispy on the outside, and the combination of spinach, cheese, and corn was truly delightful. For a light and tasty accompaniment, I enjoyed the Masala Papad, which was crispy and served with a variety of tangy and spicy toppings. To complement the meal, I opted for the Fresh Tap Beer - Kingfisher Ultra, which was refreshing and perfectly chilled. Moving on to the main course, I relished the Butter Naan, which was soft and had just the right amount of butter. The Paneer Lababdaar, a cottage cheese dish in a flavorful tomato-based gravy, was the highlight of the meal. The paneer was succulent, and the gravy was well-spiced, making it a satisfying and comforting choice. Accompanying the paneer was the Dal Zafraan, a lentil dish that was cooked to perfection with a delightful blend of spices. The Jeera Rice, fragrant and fluffy, provided a perfect pairing with the dal. Overall, my experience at Exotica (AKA Zafraan) was fantastic. The combination of the rooftop setting, exquisite ambience, and delicious vegetarian cuisine made it a memorable dining outing. The restaurant caters well to the corporate crowd, ensuring a refined and enjoyable experience. While the service was attentive, a bit more promptness would have elevated the overall experience even further. I highly recommend Exotica for those seeking a fine dining experience in Yerwada, Pune. The impressive menu, serene rooftop ambiance, and attentive service make it a noteworthy culinary destination.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday brunch with Friends. The atmosphere was vibrant. The music was a bit loud which made conversations difficult. Service was top notch.

If you are looking to have good food 🥘 🍗🥓🧆🍲with sky view 🌌🌃🏙🌆and cool breeze 🎐🌬🌬then Exotica is the destination for you 🤗😇 Ambience is nice all the table and chairs are surrounded by natural plants 🌱 🪴🪴 And floor with small water bodies with fountains ⛲️ ⛲️ Food quality and quantity is great. One must try their talwar e chicken 🍗🍗 and in deserts i would recommend faluda kulfi which is quite delicious in taste. Overall the experience was nice good to visit this place during weekdays as the crowd is expected little less.🙂🙂

This restaurant is no more a exotic one. Food quality is ok but highly highly overpriced. They are minting in the name of legacy they have carried forward from Zafraan. The irritating part is, they have removed buffet in on weekends except Sunday lunch time, still showing buffet menu on zomato. When we inquired, they rudely said it’s Zomato to update, but who will intimate them? Serving Himalayan water like they are 5 star hotel, charging exorbitantly. Ambiance, nothing has changed over the years, coming days it will become Dhaba. Billing is also an issue. Corporate discount they gave, was looking like they did some favour by doing that. We can’t pay the bill via zomato app. Sick. Overall, not recommended at all anymore. There are plenty of options to look around.

It is a rooftop restaurant. It has very nice ambiance. Food quality is also good. You can have candle light dinner over here. Nice place to visit for your special day.

Recommended for date nights, family celebrations, friends party. This rooftop restaurant has the beautiful view and pretty lights and decorations. It’s best for couples to have a candle light dinner plus I visit this place in rainy season that just made it much lovely. Food quality is good and service is excellent.

1 star for the ambience. Rest food was way below average. Starters were very oily and lack taste. No live counters. Food when over took almost 15 min to fill in buffet.very limited options for desert. U don't expect this kind of poor service when paying almost 1000 bucks per head. Won't recommend this at all.

One of the best place to have awesome delicious and exotic food. Starter, mocktail main course all awesomely dishes. It is located in panchsheel IT park on don Bosco road. Also for few near by IT companies they give a corporate off which is a plus.

Great atmosphere and food. Location of Exotica is also a plus point. It’s at roof top and you can see lots of corporate offices from roof top. It was disappointing to know that happy hours were not there due to Sunday visit. We thought of taking benefits of happy hours before 8pm

This place is the best place if you want to go on a date . nice soft music and perfect ambiance.Food quality is too good. The staff is proactive. Best part is they have taken all the safety measures in current covid situation. Food quality and ambience is 5*

It was the popularity of this place which brought us here for a Sunday brunch. Getting a table was easy as were among the early ones. On Sundays, the restaurant offers only Buffet - so weren't left with much choice. The spread was decent, though for a restaurant of its stature you would expect much bigger spread. The 'starters' service was a bit slow and needed reminders, and when they finally arrived, they seemed average. The main course too seemed just about average. Overall, come to this place for the decor and ambience and not just for food

Had a Friend’s birthday party here over Saturday Brunch The place is Very Beautiful, greenery , wooden & stone interiors go very well with the theme. There’s Valet Parking available at Tower C. Live Music was Very good Water being sprayed continuously from top all over made the atmosphere cool even in the burning heat outside. Was Pleasant Good Variety in the Brunch menu and reasonably priced Mocktail was good Overall the Food was good Starters: were delicious and fresh Live grilling counter : Fish was perfectly marinated and grilled , prawns were undercooked Salads : except for the Tandoori chicken salad all others were too dry and stale Main course : Most dishes were good , though mutton biryani had previous days mutton pieces probably as it had gone bad , my husband did eat a piece and ended up with a stomach upset definitely expected better from them ! Desserts : Superb desserts. Hot gulab jamun , very delicious gajar ka halwa and another rasmalai kind of sweet was very good Ice cream was good too. Timing was 12.30-3 , main course was till 3.30 Staff was in a hurry to close all counters Should be extended at least till 4 Note : The management should make sure that everything served is fresh !

We didn't even plan to come here, saw a random board which was looking too classy to ignore. Came here for dinner, astounded by the ambience. It's on the 7th floor with a beautiful view and excellent lighting. I'd recomm everyone to go for the buffet, both veg and non veg were brilliant without any rate difference, spellbound by the taste and variety. They served us so many starters and I loved everything, again so much variety in them. Definitely looking forward to paying this place another visit.

A very beautiful ambience with lovely staff & hospitality. We had a great time as family and amazing food. They had done a lovely decoration for a birthday celebration. The birthday boy loved it totally. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great place for get togethers... we were a group of 10 and we celebrated a birthday here. Very good service... lot of options to take good indoor photos... food was fresh and tasty... good service... courteous and non intrusive staff... our party went late... and we all returned happy...

This is a pleasant place to have brunch with friends or family. The Atmosphere is calm and the music gives it an extra Star. You want to enjoy Beer / Whiskey again a lovely place as It will give you the experience of Cool Breeze as it's a Roof Top. Candle Light Dinner - You can find the same here too, but you need to find the Table which is in more Dark Side. Food Quality is Super and The Bar Counter is catchy too. Only Cons - If you are visiting during Football Or Cricket Matches - You will not find the Big Screen. Rest a Must Visit Place.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Zafran Exotica, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! The moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was immediately struck by the wonderful ambiance and positive energy. The decor and lighting created a captivating and inviting atmosphere, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience. The food at Zafran Exotica was simply outstanding. Every dish I tried was expertly prepared and bursting with flavors. From the first bite to the last, I was delighted by the culinary journey offered by the talented chefs. The quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail were evident in each dish, making it a truly enjoyable and satisfying dining experience. What impressed me even more was the impeccable service provided by the staff. They were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of my visit was taken care of. Their genuine warmth and professionalism added to the overall positive experience, making me feel welcome and valued as a guest. Zafran Exotica is definitely a place where great food and a great vibe come together seamlessly. It's a testament to the passion and dedication of the team behind it. I left the restaurant feeling not only content but also inspired by the culinary journey I had just experienced. I highly recommend Zafran Exotica to anyone looking for a remarkable dining experience that combines a fantastic atmosphere with exceptional food and service.

Great place for Fine dine . I have given 4 stars for food because they have served bad mushrooms to us . It was changed and replaced with other dish but you can't expect this kind of mistake from EXOTICA. Its costly but the food , ambience and service is awesome. The veg manchow soup was exotic Zaituni panner tikka was also very fresh and good Paneer chilli was awesome. Just wow experience. Must visit.

Zafraan Exotica Rooftop Restaurant in Yerwada, Pune, is a fantastic rooftop dining restaurant. Great for cozy dinner date or family gatherings. It offers scenic views and outdoor dining experiences. They have good collection of fresh cocktails. They have indoor and patio seatings! Parking is valet parking, makes it very convenient.

A good terrace top to enjoy your evenings with family and friends. Slightly expensive place. But during corona times the kind of management this restaurant is doing is remarkable. The sitting areas is spacious. Tables are segregated. Food delivery is prompt even in rush hours. On top of the food quality is fantastic. Quantity can easily be enough for 3 people at a time for a single dish. Their butter chicken and most of the waiter recommended starters were good. Valet service is prompt.

Really disappointed with the overall experience this time.Simply overpriced for no reason. Seems to be charging customers double rates for pandemic period losses, without proper service. Found insect in my drink, taste wise quality of food also has degraded as compared to earlier visits.

To me this is the best restaurant Pune has to offer. If you are looking for excellent vibes and crowd around with fabulous food this is the place one should be at. However, pricing of the food is obviously high. This is usually crowded at weekdays too so if you reserve the table in advance that would be great.

Happy dining place with soft ambience. I liked the service and the food, though both have scope for improvement. Hygiene, seating options, settings.. all a thumbs up.

One of the best rooftop restaurants in Pune. Service is beyond amazing, and food in general is delicious. Variety in food is limited but there are a lot of drinking options - alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic. Ambience makes up for everything else. It's generally crowded on weekends so better to do reservations in advance.

Excellent setting and good food.. very good service and well maintained hygiene... But too many internal floor levels makes this place difficult for kids/ elderly and challenged people...

Amazing experience once again, place for a romantic candle light dinner, with the cool vibes and great ambiance, the food is very good along with good quality. Overall an amazing experience.

Tasty food , amazing service ! Loved the vibe !

Loved the place. It has everything you need in a rooftop restaurant. Great ambience, delicious food, live music, polite management staff. Would definitely recomend.

Awesome ambiance.. cool place.. rooftop seating..

Very nice place for outings with family and work colleagues. I visited during late lunch hours and was sitting in the outdoor dining area which interior and view wise was very pleasant but even with the cooling water sprays, was a little hot. They also have inside seating available but their outdoor seating area is much more beautifully decorated. My expectations from the food was very high but it didn't really live upto it but overall it was good. Visit at night for best experience

We were a large group visiting and on enquiry (a few days before) were even offered a good service deal. The staff was VERY accommodating and super helpful. The food was delicious!! The buffet had a great variety, the salads were so tempting, and desserts had us all drooling. The live counters were a success and the drinks were so much more than we'd imagined. All in all a wonderful time with Exotica.

Yes as said by every other best place for rooftop candle light dinner.. Good mocktails and soup We did tried their chicken starter named murgh chaap which was really juice, tender as asked was also made spicy.. Must visit

Lovely ambience. Was there for Saturday buffet lunch and I felt it was good value for money. A decent variety of appetizers were served at the table - mainly Indian with a couple of Chinese options thrown in. The main courses were the usually suspects, everything from Dal Makhni to Green curry. The desserts though were disappointing! Less variety and everything sort of tasted the same. All in all, a good place to visit particularly for the Saturday or Sunday buffet lunch.

Restaurant is on rooftop, amazing view and ambience. Food is slightly overpriced but taste is amazing. Main course gravy items start from above 500 but the quantity was good enough. Service 5/5 Ambience 5/5 Food 5/5 I had gone here for celebrating my marriage anniversary and my Overall experience was awesome

It's an experience not just a food place. Every table has its own vibe. The place has life literally with the flora and fauna, water flowing beneath, the entrance having bamboo decor, the Buddha statue. The place boasts of a large open bar, a lounge, multi choice of tables, an open glass view kitchen and mist sprayers to keep the place always alive. Coming to food. The quality of food is unmatched. Chinese and indian food presentation as well as taste with the quantity is unmatched. I just hope they start a continental menu too. And yeah, do not miss the garlic infused yoghurt. Ambiance: 5* Valet service. √ Reservation desk √ Waiting lounge √ Food 5* Service 5*

Nice ambience. Good food. The service can be improved a bit. Also they seems to not have many options of beer available on menu.

Love the food always

Staff were excellent, they accommodated our last minute family visit in a very quick manner.

Good options for starters

I had a confirm booking for valentine's day and after reaching the place the manager said they are facing a technical issues because of which the confirmed booking is not valid for a couple but they have place for two large group. They told us to wait for 2 hours to get in. The manager was extremely unprofessional and rude. They were allowing groups to enter without reservation.

The restaurant is beautifully setup, however the food was disappointing

Service was very slow

Very Nice and polite staff

Nice food quality, awesome ambience and good service by staff.

This place isn't exactly as it was before 2020. They have cut down on their menu, some confusion in taking orders, but the food quality was good and overall experience was also pleasant.

Place is very good but seems they are not following rules.They are charging 1 Ltr water bottle for 80Rs whose MRP is 20Rs.

Average food, Water bottle at 80Rs, Ambience is good, service is average and you need to wait. On Valentine's eve they stopped ala carte and only had buffet dinner at 1300Rs per person. Which had comparatively less menu.

Nice Food. Nice Ambience.

Awsome place

Dal makhani is must try.

Nice ambience good food

Nice food and ambience

Fantastic Food after pandemic closure first visit for family dinner, great taste as always

Nice place🙂Decent food👌 Not much social distancing norms are followed though🙁Buffet tables could be better managed to avoid crowding.

Very good ambience, perfect for couples. The food is ok and not worth the pricing. But the dining experience is memorable.

Well, The ambience is good however service can be improved. When serving buffet starters, they should keep the track of items served. We didn't get all items from the starter menu. The quality is also downgraded from the last time I visited. Rest all good one can try once this place.

Very disappointed with the steep buffet price for Valentines and no Alicante option available. They tried to fit 7 of us in a table of 4 or 5. Really disappointed. Expected much better from Exotica.

The restaurant decor is just awesome. The buffet is quite good especially non vegetarian starters. Overall really nice place

I’ve been to this place for couple of times and I always get refreshed by their service and ambience. Food is great and they are maintaining hygiene wrt COVID-19.

Food test not good

Dined at this place after a long time after pandemic. Nice place. Delicious food. Great ambience.

One of the best place for dine out in Pune. Ambiences are just too good. This is a perfect place for Couples/Friends/Family. It has a small but perfect bar. For couples best timing is Dinner time where you will have candle light dinner with proper lighting which makes the place perfect. Apart from the ambience, food is the second reason why you should go to "Zafraan Exotica, Panchshil Tech Park, Pune". Every dish from starters to Deserts was so delicious that you will love this place.

Always a good experience dining here. Their varied spread of buffet menu has lots to offer for hardcore foodies. Good ambience.

Good One

Great Ambience and good food

Taste of the food was great. Excellent Ambience

Awesome place

Staff behavior is very rude.They don't know how to talk change ur staff otherwise no one will visit again to ur place...

Very nice ambiance , best service, tasty food ,

Nice

Awesome ambience.. food quality is average.. quantity is less.. for corporate drink parties good to hang around as ambience sets your mood.

good location, decent food....

Great taste and ambience

They should include continental food too ....

Good tasty food

The buffet is extensive but the services leaves something to be desired. I was travelling with my toddler, who can't handle spicy food but the server refused to accommodate any request to tone down the spice levels.

Food was awesome

Food was great ambience was cool service was not upto the mark but the food covered it up

Awesome place with great ambience... Starter was perfect

The food is literal happiness in a physical form :-)

lovely place
