Nice place to visit with family. Had a nice vibe. Also a nice place for taking pics. Service was quite slow. Quality of food was good. I had ordered paneer chilli which was for Rs 310 but the quantity was less compared to the price. Satisfied with chicken crispy quality and quantity wise. Manchow soup also 1by2 quantity was less and not hot but warm. And Spl biryani was good. Overall nice except a few things.

Quantity or the portions are very small for that exorbitant price. Salty food. Had to send back the soups. One moctail that too very sweet for 240/- 🙄🙄🙄 come on?????. The prices are too high. Fantastic place no doubt but whats the use. After paying nearly 500 to the forest toll got to see nothing. Pitch dark outside.

Its not the same it was earlier, no live music. No upper deck seating..and limited options to eat and drink...I guess they are more focused on the weddings and such events. Place is not well maintained.

A very nice place to have any of your functions. It is fairly far away from the city. Almost like a hill station atmosphere. good amount of space and accommodation is provided and parking is also available which makes it convenient if you are driving your own vehicle. The staff is good and friendly and the food is tasty as well. They should be more number of washrooms for ladies and gents.

The ambience is really good. But they have very limited menu items due to Covid and limited staff. So kindly confirm on call before visiting. We just left after having starters since they had very limited main course items

Weekend vibesHilly tripsFresh airLong driveSunny noonHappy moodGreat Chinese lunchThis weekend destination was totally unplannedJust before lunch time, a thought came into my mind..Lets have lunch in hills, quite near to my place, around 2 hours drive.Reached Yeoor Hills in Thane district, Maharashtra. That lies in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park.Majority of people population comprises of Adivasis.Its a paradise for hikers, bird watchers. Great picnic spot.Had a lovely Chinese lunch in Exotica Tropical Resort - fine dining restaurant.Hot soupsChinese fried rice with spicy chilli chicken with gravyPerfect after a long driveNot much options in desserts except Gulab jamun.So I skipped the dessert there.Had a chocolate icecream on the way while driving back.Exocita is a beautiful place, lots of picture-perfect spots.Plan a drive to hills with family, let me know about your experience.

It’s very cool & soothing place . We feel very relaxed & chill in its green & calm environment. Staff is courteous. Though the food is ok but still it’s one of the best place to dine out . Ambience is super relaxing . It’s situated in Yeoor greens 🥬 away from hustle bustle . Best part is live music 🎶 by guitar 🎸 artist 👩‍🎨 .

Review №25

I didnt had good experience at this place. The ambience is definitely good but not well maintained. There are mosquitoes every where and no precautions taken specially in rainy season. Washrooms not well maintained. In this covid situation after taking pre-booking of table we were not informed that the food menu is limited and there was hardly anything to select from list . You need to inform when people are coming from far away to visit the place portrayed so lavish and multi cuisine. Overall disappointed with the service. Improvement would be appreciated.

Best place and the best restaurant in yeoor hills, vibrant ambiance with a pool inside the restaurant. The sitting is too good. Service is too slow. The taste of the food is delicious. The portion of the food is sufficient for 2. The rates of each dish are bit higher. Ample of parking space on front of the restaurant. But too much of water logging in front if the restaurant if it rains bit also.

Very nice, confy place to dine out with friends and family. Very spacious and also suitable for business and casual functions. Situated atop hill of Yeoor hills within the boundaries of Borivali National park(Sanjay Gandhi National Park) and Thane west. The only DOWNSIDE going to this place is the hefty entrance fee that needs to be paid while entering the National Park.Please be informed that one needs to pay for individuals as well as any vehicle they take along with them in the National park.

I had a bad experience. The place had very limited menu. No soft drinks or Moctails, not even fresh lime juice. The fridge had got spoilt so no icecream or any other dessert. The Chinese starters which I ordered were horrible. No taste. I would never visit this place again.

Review №44

The place is really nice, but the lake does stinks since the water is not changed regularly. Also the service is very slow. Too slow to digest your starters till you get the main course. Waiters are rude to each other and the customers, since when one of the waiter was getting our payment done with card, ithe waiter was just trying to grab the machine even before the transaction was complete. The manager is mostly clueless and clumsy. Waiters forgetting your order or you getting wrong order or getting no attention from the waiters or the manager to place your order in the first place is very common experience... So be prepared for a breathtaking experience.

This place is located a bit off from the city buzz. I found something unusual because we were stopped buy a cop and he asked us to pay 400 for a family of four and a four wheeler. I strongly believe that the money the asked wasnt an entry tax. However, the place is slightly overpriced and the food wasnt worth the overpriced rate. The ambiance is surreal for sure. We ordered-▪️Masala Papad▪️ Prawns Koliwada▪️ Chicken Ladak▪️Tandoori Roti▪️ Chicken Fried Rice

One of the best Restaurant in Yeur..They have a very good space for parking and the food quality is also good. Peaceful location for a dinner with friends and as well as family. Service is good. You will also enjoy a hill drive for 10-15 mins in Thane location. Climate here is always cooler than City life.

The biggest advantage is its on Yeor Hills, in Thane city. Ample parking place and the ambience. The seating is open air surrounded by trees and water bodies. The bar has a quiet a few options and food is very much a value for money. Enjoy the open air and the hospitality of Exotica.

When you entered this place you will find a land with new atmosphere & there is some freshness in the air. You will love the location as well to reach it here. Ambience & interior decor makes it different from other dine&bars. The word Exotica perfectly suits this place. Quite spacious & well maintained for spending some quality time.

Very bad experience.. I had booked table one day before..still this restaurant gave preference to walk-in customer and asked us not to come when I was already enroute.. just bcoz we were reaching 10mins late due to traffic..very rude staff. Very much insulting and disappointing behaviour. This is how they treat their customer. Thank you!

Very bad service. Food has no quality, no taste, unhygienic. Staff never behave well & do malpractice. They deal with you but don’t provide service as per deal. Waste of money.There must be a mechanism for minus rating. These types of service deserves minus rating.Never plan any of your events here.

Review №75

I have been to this restaurant twice. Both times my experience here was same. The ambiance of this place really lives up to the name. It is an open air place. However that is the only good thing about this place. The food was not very tasty. It was almost cold. Even the soup The meat was cold, dry and overcooked. The only item with appropriate temperature was the finger bowl. The waiters and hotel staff is very rude. We asked the staff 3 times to pack the leftovers, but they did not pack it. When asked for the forth time, the waiter said Ghai mat karo (no need to hurry). There are fruit flies and house flies all over the place. There was a medium sized spider at our table. Also there were bees and mosquitoes. Service is lousy and horribly slow. It took 20 minutes to receive our bill. At the time of paying the bill when we expressed our concerns to hotel manager she said that it is because of the rush. I would never recommend this place.

This is very nice place to enjoy dinner. It is situated at yeoor hills. Where you can get cool breeze throughout the year. You can arrange some functions like wedding ceremony, reception, birthday party, g2gthr etc. Just because of its classy ambience it looks very catchy at night. They are having facility of decoration too. You can ask for the same. Depending upon scale of decoration they charge the amount. Like for small decoration for around 7-8 people it ll charge Rs 1000. This place is even very good for couples for candle light dinner. Only one drawback is you have to get your own vehicle. On yeur hills you may not get Ola or uber cabs.

Good presentation and cleanliness. Various cockatiels and moctails available.Lovely boat shaped area with water bodies around, its a wooden hotel giving you different experience of dining.Good staff and manager, they also have few other holiday option and you can get all this information there itself or on their website.

Review №88

The photos and online reputation may look this place a good option however due to heavy traffic movement on ghodbunder road have stolen the green effect (cool environment due to its location near Sanjay Gandhi National park)...This is yet another small resort with a basic small swimming pool and decent rooms... The food is good though costly than normal... For Mumbaikars this cannot be a cool place to go for a weekend instead in the same budget of RS. 5000 that we spent for food and one night stay of a couple you can try for Matheran as a better alternative even though traveling to Matheran is bit more than this place...For people who are lethargic to travel can explore this place but I wont recommend it highly as my travel quotient is more than this place offers mein terms of location, resort amenities and services for the prices charged...

2 star. One for the food taste and one for the cottage ambience.Rest, a very disappointing service. No one pays attention even if you are there sitting on the table and waiting for the waiter. You have to call them twice or thrice.One lady from staff considers herself the owner and keeps giving you rude looks all the time forgetting that she is into hospitality service and not a jailor. She will give you answers rudely and behaves as if were there to eat free of cost.Average lightings. Average pool side lightings.Not so good management.
