I don't even remember now how many times I visited BN since 2011, but I always enjoys their hospitality and food.
This time I went with my parents at Wakad and no complaint at all, online booked without any concern, restaurant was almost empty as weekdays lunch time. Complimentary drinks were good for lunch. food was good as usual with Crabs in main course.
Good option if you want to enjoy only Indian flavoured food especially non-veg!

I have been trying to contact the MoMo cafe on +91 20 4212 2222 and +91 20 4212 2080. But the numbers just disconnect once a call is made. After doing this many times, Called the USA Marriott number, the guy said I need to add 011 before 91 while calling these numbers. Tried that, but no use. Called USA number again, no use. Then I arranged an Indian SIM card and called +91 20 4212 2222. I was transferred to the dining department, and I was asked my email address and was told I'll be contacted soon. (this happened just 2 hours back, still hoping an email with prompt service). My point is even if it works out, the process to get this done should never be so complicated. I've still rated this place very good because this is what I was looking for and found it, and I have good hopes once this works out.

Colorful, Decorated, Vibrant and a perfect a combination of Punjabi Dhaba and Chinese restaurant. Visited Punchin for Dinner and It didn't disappointed us at all.
Was greeted with warm hospitality and smiles and soon we are soaked into the place. Menu card is printed on DAFLI or DRUM and you are gonna love it. Service time was quick but not sure about service on a weekend or heavy crowd.
Menu is quite limited with basic Punjabi and Chinese options and one can try dishes as per there choices. Fusion dishes are the reason why we have visited this place and they didn't disappoint at all.
Just one suggestion If they should introduce more combos in Fusion part or they can also keep on experimenting fusion as a "Today's Special".
Overall a big thumbs up to ambiance, Menu Fusion dish and will definitely visit Punchin again

This restaurant is very close to my home. I visit here at least twice a month as I'm a pure vegetarian. The service and the quality of the food is very good. The staff is very friendly. Ambiance is pretty decent. Do not try out any pizzas as they're not so good.

Reviewed By Jaideep G - Bengaluru, India
Sep 2014: My first visit to Papajees. I had the privilege of meeting Sunny at the PEO Meet at Malaka Spice and we instantly hit it off. The very next day, as fate would have it, I was in the vicinity and decided to visit the place. The food then was fantastic but I’m not going to dwell on that experience because what I’m about to share with you was nothing short of superlative. So here’s what we ordered:
Starters
Veg: Paneer Tigade Tikka
Non Veg: Murg Bharwaan Tangdi Kebab
Mains:
Veg: Subzi Patiyaala, Bhatti da Dal Makhani
Non Veg: Ghosht Labaalab
Rotis:
Butter Naan
Lachha Parantha
Desserts:
Gulaab Jamun
Paneer Tigade Tikka: In all my trips across the length and breadth of this country, I have not had such soft and well-cooked paneer. And this is not an exaggeration because in most places, vegetarian offerings revolve mainly around Paneer. Inevitably it is what we select. The Paneer Tigade Tikka was Paneer Tikka made in three very distinctive flavours. The base of each of the marinades was hung curd and malai with a heady mix of spices and condiments. The first (Paneer Chatpata Tikka) was a chutney consisting of three types of green chillies, pudina and coriander. The problem with such a marinade is that it can completely kill the taste of the paneer. But not so in this case. The malai and the hung curd team up with the paneer to retain its character while the chutney amplifies the taste and takes it to another level. This was my pick amongst the trio.
The second (Paneer Ambarsari)was composed of tomato, ginger and garlic. This gave it a very distinctive taste when compared to the Chatpata Tikka). Again, the tomato, ginger and Garlic combination did not overpower the Paneer.
The third (Paneer Banjara Tikka) was made with a very simple marinade of turmeric and roughly chopped ginger-garlic. It had a very rustic taste and was perfectly moist. With 4 pieces of each, this is one helluva heavy start but worth every bit of it. When you to a place like this, you really need to wear expandable pants and for us this was just the start.
The Murg Bharwaan Tangdi Kebab was a leg of Chicken stuffed with kheema and heavily roasted in the Tandoor. My non-veggie partners-in-crime stopped conversing throughout the time that they were savouring every bit. BTW, they are hardcore Punjabis and impossible to keep them quiet unless the food is outstanding. When a Kheema dish that is already cooked is stuffed into a leg of chicken and put into a smoking hot tandoor for further cooking, it can tend to be overdone. Not in this case, though. The kheema was absolutely perfect as was the chicken. This dish is a trademark at Papajee’s and has been invented by them.
Now on to the mains:
Sunny suggested we try the Veg subzi Patiyaala. Dual-layered initially in terms of its flavor, the dish comprises of wok-tossed vegetables encased in papad and topped up with a subzi kheema gravy. I first tried separating the papad and wok-tossed veggies from the kheema gravy. Whilst the kheema gravy on its own was very good, the flavours that surprised me were the ones present in the Papad and the veggies. But all that doesn’t really matter once you’ve mixed the two the distinctive flavours merged to give you one solid dish.
Bhatti da Daal Makhani: Daal Makhani is a dish very close to my heart and more often than not, it ends up being the benchmark for me when it comes to assessing a place. The Daal Makhani here was served with a hot piece of charcoal nestled in the middle. The smoky flavor was spot on. One of the better Dal Makhani’s I have had and quite different from the standard offerings that we are more accustomed to.
Ghosht Labaalab: The single most epic dish (which even I tried despite being a vegetarian) has got to be this. Mutton slow-cooked for over 4 hours with khada masalas and oil results in the most finger-licking experience I have had. No matter how much I write about it, the dish demands that you drop whatever you are doing (including Reading this experience) and motor all the way there just to try this dish.
Combining the mains with the butter naan and lachha parantha meant culinary nirvana. The butter naan was made by mixing milk during the kneading giving it a very flaky texture and melt-in-the-mouth softness. The Lachha Parantha made with wheat rather than maida was a superb combination of crispiness and flaky texture at the edges while the center was soft.
By the time we reached the Gulab Jamoons , we could barely get up but then we shook and jiggled our bellies a little bit to create some room and voila, room was created for steaming hot and freshly made Gulab Jamoons which vanished before I could say wow. Ended up with a burnt tongue but smiling like a Cheshire cat.
So that was our experience at Papajees. A special mention must be made about the patience and love that Sunny and his father shower over all their guests. Yes, that’s right! I call them guests and not customers. Because not once do any of them shy away from their efforts to make sure you are not just happy, but delighted.
Thank you Sunny and Family, for one of the most superlative food experiences I have had in recent times.

Went there for a new year party. Paid Rs 9k for this party. They served only Vodka,Some Whiskey and very badly tasting wine - no premium drinks no Tequila orther premium shots - so unlimited drinks was a gimmik - Music was good, the manager Nitik was good and friendly - but the drinks spoiled our night as we are not used to such drinks and expected it to be premium conisidering Marriot is a 5 star hotel.

It was a pleasant experience to visit Raaga and have both Veg and Non Veg food over there.. the staff is very friendly and have good understanding of the menu and propose good recommendations...
Best part was that they were accommodating enough to modify menu to suit the taste buds and spice level...

Food is clearly overhyped and interiors and clothing of the staff is fairly overdone and exaggerated. I think the lower half of the place is grossly underutilized and a holding place with no value added is great knock to todays real estate prices. You enter and there is a huge holding place and thrice that I have been to this place always saw the holding place is fully occupied. Why have the holding place at first place which could be better operational parallely. Anyways may better management decisions prevail. The interiors are confusing and all you can interpret is shiny and glittery piece of work. Even the clothes of the staff is overdone. Not taking away any credit at all the hard work in investing so much. Now on to food. Ordered some chicken shorba and boneless chicken biriyani. Where on earth is a shorba sweet. And biriyani was totally bland and tasteless. With likes of A1 and Hotel Hyderabadi Dum Biriyani house offering lipsmacking biriyani at half than less price this place offers. Big let down and IMHO the prices are on higher side with no VFM. Going in with 1.0 because of a friend of mine once ordered a Paneer Dish and I hate paneer and this dish was extraordinary in taste.
