Taftoon

Had a lovely lunch at Taftoon during a get-together with school friends, which also doubled as the launch of my poetry book "Knot: The Lifeline of Emotions." (Available on Amazon) The ambience was warm and stylish, perfect for conversations and laughter. The food was impressive, especially the paneer, and prawns which was served in a coconut shell, both flavorful and beautifully presented. The red naan added a fun pop of color to the meal. Staff was courteous and attentive, which added to the overall experience. We ended with a kulfi mix served with rabdi. While I personally didn't enjoy the rabdi, everything else was great. Food, friends, and memories, Tafoon made it all come together beautifully. Highly recommended for a cozy and memorable dining experience!

Taftoon is a great place for lunch and dinner outings. Their service is class apart , one of the best I have experienced and for that kudos to them for such wonderful service. Staff here make sure you get the best experience, they also provided us with complimentary drink and papads for this very reason I am giving an extra star. Now for the food, we ordered galauti kebab and moringa samon and I must say flavours could have been better , Galauti Kebabs were too gooey which I didn't enjoy and samon although was cooked good but could have been more flavorful as flavours felt muted. But the sweet dishes/ desserts in this restaurant truly excels without a doubt,we ordered Sheriyak and Doodh jalebi which were so savoury and delicious which made our day. Ambience is good and interior is quite unique and beautiful. Dishes were on costlier sides but with dining partner discounts it's acceptable. Overall a good place to chill out.

I guess second outlet of Taftoon, this one is in building that also houses many other good watering holes and fusion food restaurant. I visited their BKC outlet earlier and was quite impressed with their food. Taftoon attempts to take best of selected dishes from regional cuisines to serve some delicious food. Serving is lightening fast and staff is very courteous. It's a small place, suggest pre book table. Try red naan and also kahva. Plenty of other things to try.

I recently visited Taftoon restaurant located in Powai and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. One of the highlights of the meal were their freshly crafted mocktails. They were absolutely delicious and the perfect way to start off the meal. As for the food, we decided to try a variety of dishes. For appetizers, we ordered the Chotey Kulchey Chole and Pathar Ke Kebab, both of which were outstanding. The Chole had the perfect balance of spices and the Kebabs were cooked to perfection. Moving on to the mains, we ordered Murg Musallam and Kaali Daal. The Murg Musallam was tender and had a great depth of flavor, while the Kaali Daal was rich and creamy. We paired these with Laal Naan and Zafrani Taftoon, which were both excellent. To accompany the Daal, we ordered Bhapa Chawal, which was cooked to perfection and had just the right amount of moisture. And finally, we ended our meal with the Pista Jam Pie, which was a perfect ending to a perfect meal. It was melt in the mouth and left us wanting more. The staff at Taftoon were great and Kunal and Swakit in particular, made sure that we had a great time. They were attentive, friendly and added to the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend Taftoon restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great dining experience. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and the ambiance was perfect.

Taftoon have finally opened their doors in powai. Dropped by this today for lunch and hands down it was a fab experience. I have been a huge fan of this brand since the time I visited their Bkc outlet and the fact they are near to my place I was excited trying their new outlet as well. Talking about the ambience it was elegant and the bar here looks absolutely stunning. Taftoon has been known for its amazing interiors and very well thought decor overall and same we can witness in Powai outlet too. Moving towards f&b part, in drinks we tried grapefruit and mint cooler & Cucumber and basil mocktails which were quiet refreshing and could be the best option to quench your thirst this summer. For the appetizers we had 1. Dahi bhutteyan de kebab : Fresh and melt in mouth texture having corn , green and yellow chillies and having perfect spice balance to it. It's a must try. 2. Chatpate paneer tikka : Smoked paneer tikka having mildly spiced marinade on it and simply melt in Mouth texture it was fabulous. 3. Mirza hasnu tikka : chicken tikka pieces having that perfect smokey tandoor flavor and slow cooked to perfection with red marinade preparation. It was super juicy and tender 4. patthar ke kebab: very unique presentation as the name suggests it was served on a piping hot stone slab. This is honestly the best appetizer in chicken we have had offlate. You shouldn't miss out on this one if you are here. Later for the main course we went for lal rogani paneer which was this semi thick paneer gravy having lal rogan oil on top giving it very distinct flavor to it. In non veg we had murgh musallam which was very well prepared in my opinion unlike other places it had that premium touch to it as it was topped with ghee, dry fruits and edible gold on top. Fabulous gravies and it went just perfect with our assorted naan platter which they made on our request (it had lal naan, baquerkhani & zafrani taftoon). For dessert the captain recommended us to try shufta which is basically mixed dryfruits toasted in Desi ghee and stewed with lemon scented honey. It was served with two scoops of mango ice cream and almond shortbread. Incredible creation by the chef. Would definitely visit here again. Taftoon is truly about having that authentic flavors of Lucknow, awadh , kanpur , Bengal and many such northern parts of India. The hospitality is indeed amazing and it's one of a kind experience.

My favourite restaurant has opened up in Powai, closer to my home now and i had to give it a try. I tried it on a weekday for dinner post work and was surprised to see it quite busy. We were welcomed with Kahwah tea which opened up all my senses. I very healthy drink which i absolutely loved. For starters, i tried Ambarsari Pakoday which had baby corn, paneer, cheese, cauliflower and spinach fried in red Ambarsari batter. Absolutely tasty and didn't feel much oily. Next we tried Bharwan Mushroom Shish which was the best ever. Super tender and flavourful, highly recommended. Next for mains we tried Bharwaan Kadhai which had okra, brinjal, chillies and tomatoes stuffed with gravy along with Lal Naan. The combination was something very unique and we loved it. Next we tried Moong Matki Masala Daal which was crunchy, tasty and good in quantity for 2 people. The combination with rice was very satisfying and filling. For desserts, we tried their famous Kaju ki kulfi, anjeer and falooda. Super rich texture like rabdi and creamy. Highly recommend. Overall an amazing experience and would highly recommend this place
