  This is a place that serves amazing street style Pan Asian Food. A small place with a good ambiance, indoor and outdoor seating. The vibe of the place is very positive.When it comes to Oriental cuisine, the burst of flavors in the food is just mind blowing. So the food served here is typically like the proper street food.Drinks that I had here were,Watermelon drink, which was a refreshing drink, sweet and melony after which I had a drink named Guava Hit which actually will give you a hit after you drink. A drink which is the best for all the spicy drink lovers. There is a drink by the name Lemongrass and Ginger Lemonade which is extremely refreshing not too sweet but the flavors were outstanding.Coming to the Food these are the dishes that I had here,Veg Manchurian which was a really nice dish, flavorful and tasty. Spicy Basil Chicken was also served. This was an amazing dish having a really nice flavor of basil also was spicy, the chicken was tender and cooked well, crisp and juicy. The next dish was the Bao Wow Schezwan Paneer, a bao preparation which has schezwan paneer as the filling. Quite flavorful and crispy. Then we jumped to the main course in which we had Zen Hen Goes Green which had a rice preparation with a green chicken gravy, which was my favorite of all. Then we had the Devine Soy, which had a red gravy that was served over crispy noodles. All the flavors balanced and the taste was also very pleasing. I had always hear about burnt garlic noodles, but here I had the Burnt Chilly Garlic Chicken Noodles which was a kind of Indian street style Chinese, full of amazing flavors and spiciness.We then had the dessert course in which we had crispy noodles with ice cream and Fried Choco Bombs from which I liked the Fried Choco Bombs, served with ice cream and chocolate sauce.In a conclusion if you are looking for a place to have some Asian street food this is the place you can drop by.

  Without a doubt, this was the best Chinese I ever had. Five fat monks is a completely authentic restaurant with large variety of Chinese food. I ordered soup, dumplings, starters and rice. Everything was served hot & fresh and was super tasty. Must must try place for the Chinese food lovers.

  Delicacies from the orient have a special place in my heart. Club it with making your own wok and Indian twist to it, Voila, we have a winning combination. Five Fat Monks is one such place where an individual can enjoy the perks of putting together various ingredients with a variety of sauces, proteins and base. Food- We started our lunch visit with their new Mocktail options. We opted for Spicy Guava, Virgin Mojito and Water Melon Mocktail. The Spicy guava had an overpowering spice taste which was a let-off! The taste was good though. Spice lovers do try. Water Melon Mocktail comes with a fizz while the Virgin mojito can be a classic choice to help down Asian food.For Starters, we had a plethora of choices. To begin with, we ordered Crispy Spicy potato, exotic vegetable stir fry and cocktail prawns. Crispy Spicy potatoes are baby potato served with chilli flakes and other seasonings. The crunchiness can be enjoyed both in the potatoes and also in the seasoning. Stir-fries are the quickest and the best answer to hunger pangs. The exotic veggies were served and vanished instantly. Cocktail prawns were the real winner. Beautifully arranged prawns with a sweet and spicy honey chilli dip served in a Margherita glass. Wow! Must try. I’ll suggest hold on to that dip while you can enjoy other food options also. Wok of my own- A) Non- Veg, B) Size- Small, C) Base- Flat Noodles, D) Protein- Prawns, E) Shitake Mushrooms, F) Sauce- Hunan, G) Spring Onion. That was my wok. Yes, I made a safe and simple choice and it worked brilliantly. The portion size of the Wok is generous. Go ahead and make your own wok! Service and Ambience- The place is located at the happening junction of Balewadi High Street and has an upscale get up. Unfortunately, due to too many constructions going around the premise the outdoor seating is not recommended. The interiors are elegant and air-conditioned with sofa seating which is cosy and comfortable. The Service is superfast as every oriental place should be. And the waiters are alert and responsive. Overall- A cosy place amongst a crowd of lounges and bars where one can enjoy Asian food and leave with a content heart. We were lucky to visit the place during their anniversary celebration which will last throughout the month of December. One can try their Anniversary special menu as we did.

  It’s a small and cozy outlet in the heart of Balewadi with both indoor and outdoor seating. My friend and I landed there on a warm Saturday afternoon to enjoy some nice Asian food and we were not disappointed. We ordered the schezwan chicken bao for starter and veg phat nin noodles with prawns in devil sauce for main course, along with a ginger lemon soda and a spicy guava mocktail. The bao was quite spicy and it tasted amazing. This was followed by the main course and the refreshments which I would say was of more than enough quantity and unless you have a large appetite, eating more than the main we that we had ordered would be quite difficult. Nevertheless, the food and service were amazing and I would recommend everyone to give it a shot.

Overall had a great experience and will surely visit this place in the future. beyondtheposts.net
