The place is strictly average and very much costly for the quality of food they offer. The place is not maintained at all. They have tried best to offer a good experience but the food quality and variety spoils all the good things like ambience. For the amount theu charge there is nothing special about the food items. All items are average to below average in taste and quality. Overall the price they charge (Veg 578/- and Non Veg 678/-) does not justify the experience.

Very good restaurants with village culture theme. Food is very tasty and delicious with variety of options like pani puri, bhel puri, dahi puri, dosa, pav bhaji, main course, welcome drinks and sweets like jalebi, gulab jamun, moong dal halwa, barfi etc.Ambience is quite good. Overall good experience. Recommended once.

Pure vegetarian buffet restaurant with every Indian cuisine imaginable.Ambience is set to its name and there are birthday/anniversary celebrations, puppet shows, filk dances and musical chairs for children as well as adults.Starters and sweets are good in taste, everything else is average.Good place to have a function with close friends and family members.

Village - The Soul Of India is a very good restaurant for family. Theme is different than other places. You will find different activities there like puppet show, musical chair, Garba, making clay pottery etc.Ambience is colorful. Rural theme has adopted. For food you must try Panipuri. Starters are ok. But main course is not so special. Overall you can visit at least one time.

Ambience is beautiful.events are good.But food is not that great.Many options are available but all have just ok taste.We got 50% off with eatigo so didnt felt that bad but not worth the original cost.They should work on their food taste and quality.South Indian was good though.

Great concert based place where everyone in ur service is wearing jail based dresses and location is designed and setup as a village in such a great urban market city various games and fun events are conducted here. A great place to go with group, family and friends. Birthdays are either celebrated here you can book area for your group.

A place for some activities, puppet show, bangle making etc and buffet food. They have pani poori, chat, baraf ka gola, pakode and a number of indian dishes. Food is of average quality. It is crowded on weekends and when sound system goes on, its very noisy. If you like a peaceful, cozy and open place, this place is not for you. Furnitures give rustic took but not very clean. Sometimes the utensils are a bit greasy. If you are planning for a group event, avoid weekends.

A very lovely place. There is so much to do and experience in this small place. The staff is sweet and enthusiastic and make sure your experience is good. The food is very very good. Be it the golguppas, the starters or the buffet! Each dish is cooked with amazing flavours and served with love. And amazing choice if youre planning a group outing or something with kids since it was a small gift shop and a puppet show. For adults there is a shooting activity, hand reading person, many places to click pictures! Is a very Instagram-able place with amazing food!

Those who are born and raised in the city like Pune, really unaware about village culture. As everyone says if you want to know about Indian culture then you should visit Indian villages first.But guys wait, if you are in Pune and dont want to travel far to visit villages, this place is totally designed for you. Its like mini village in Amanora Mall.While entering they welcomed you by Tilak Ceremony and some delicious drinks. They opened small small chaat outlets, sweet outlets and separate buffet food. And its totally self service.Now fun part is they have toys for sale, tarot card reading, tattoo artist, Bangles makers, katputli show etc.So my suggestion is to visit this place at least once, so that you will get sense of our Indian culture.

Recently we went here as had heard a lot about the place from family and friends. We were surprised to see that once you enter you don’t realize that your inside a mall. We felt like we were in the middle of of a village with traditional craftsman. There was a potter, bangle maker and tattoo artist involving you and making your experience wonderful. We sat and made ourselves a little pot to take back home as a memory. There was also desi music going on where somebody was involving the crowd to dance along with them on all cultural beats.Finally coming to the food, there was an array of desi snacks from Pav Bhaji to chaat to dry snacks. After which we tried the buffet, there was a variety of mains. Fresh hot rotis from tandoor, desi chinese, dal bhati, sabjis, kadi, daal, every possible thing.As many options as there were in mains, there were also in desi sweets. However our favourite was GOLA which was super nostalgic and delicious.The whole experience took us down a memory lane and made us feel very rooted.

Review №22

Overall okay experience. Start with starters like samosa, dhokla. Pavbhaji and chat counter are there for you to satisfy your craving. Avoid eating chinese food there, not upto par. South Indian food is available there but try authentic Rajasthani delicacies. Eat some and dance more on music played there. Ice cream and baraf gola will make you soothe your body heat.

If youre looking for a family restaurant (well to call this place just as a restaurant would be an understatement) in Hadapsar then Village is an apt place. As the name suggests, this really is an authentic Indian restaurant with filled with desi style. Right from welcoming you till you leave, youre treated as a guest (literally). The staff, right from Manager to the waiter staff, everyone is looking after your arrangements. They even make you play some games to relax you a bit.The place is very colourful & heavily influenced with Bollywood, as one can witness a lot of filmy stuff on the interior.Moving on to the food, I personally, really like the food. They have everything you can think of in desi cuisine (mostly Rajasthani food). The vegetable dishes, sweet items, chaat everything taste really well. I would definitely recommend this place if you want to go with your family.Scores (out of 5):Food - 4.5Service - 5Ambience - 3

This place is quiet good. But its became too old. Everything in there is too old.. I think they didnt had a maintenance since couple of years. Food spread had many options but quality of food was worst. The only interesting part for me was the fun activities they have like Dandiya, Dance coaching, Lezim Dance, Free Dance. Enjoyed it.

This is a fun place when you go with a big crowd. They have many entertaining activities starting from musical chair to santa banta dance. It remains open till 11 and you can merrily enjoy the food from with dj music. Food is simple and after tasting all, I cannot pinpoint any special dish in their menu. However the variety is from dal bati and khichadi to noodles and dahi-papadi chat.There will be folk dance, santa banta dance, garba and whatever you request for.Above all the ambience and the service is great which overcomes the shortcoming of food quality.

This place is in Amanora Town Center Mall in Lower Ground Floor.The best part of this place is the ambience and the hospitality you experince , it gives you the feel of a small village, those wrongly spelled words used for shops name.And not only the ambience but the food is amazing as well, very homely taste.Must Try in Starters : Samosa Chat, Pani Puri, Chicken Tawa Kebab.Best in Main Course: Pitla-Bhakri, Roti-Dal Fry, Methi Chicken with Tandoori Roti.They even have pottery corner where you can get your hands dirty on pottery.A must visit place.

A completely stunning restaurant with a village theme....you have to pay for one Thali and enjoy a variety of refreshments with fun games for entertainment.... Once you pay for a Thali everything inside is unlimited.... You get a feeling for peace in village in a metro city....they also organize parties and small family functions which leaves the customers with complete satisfaction.... Your pockets need to be heavy for it...

It is a good place if you are looking to spend time with family and enjoy dancing. The main attraction is the ambience that is created once the dance and other activities start. The food is average and not that great, in an attempt to provide many varieties the taste has been compromised. This is a place worth visiting once.

Village-The souk of India, best suited for group hangouts with veg and non veg options but no liquor. It is located inside Amnora mall, can be accessed directly from main entry of amnora mall, near Decathlon. I had 50% off coupon from etigo app. They have 4 or more activities inside, i specially enjoyed musical chair and DJ time. Food was good, buffet, i had everything veg and non veg. Environment was good inside, tattoo maker, pot maker and some kind of bangles makers are inside available.

I have visited this hotel on my anniversary. I was very excited to visit this hotel after checking photos and reviews on google.I reached there at 2 pm And hotel closing time is 3 pm. I never knew this. I entered and I started roaming in the hotel as they have good ambience like village. So clicked some pictures. At 2.30 pm I came to know that it will be closed in next 30 min. Till then I havent eat anything. Then I rush to the stalls and tried few dishes. At sharp 3pm they switch off all the lights of hotels even if customers are inside and there staff moved outside. This is worst experience I ever had.

Never had this kind of bad food in any restaurant. The worst restaurant in entire pune . The food Quality is not even worth 100 rupees. I would stop everyone i can from going to this horrible restaurant. Save yourself some money and eat something at home and i promise you it would be 10 times better even if you only make Maggie at home. What a waste of money and time. Bad food and to complement it they will provide worst service.

Good place for Birthday celebration, but the organizer is not so active. He will not announce the cake cutting celebration properly, which will result kiosk. Also please dont ask for any photographer, because he sends one photographer who does not know anything, how to take photograph and is very irritating. And the organizer Vijay will take Rs. 2000 for photography and we dont know how much he is giving to photographer. And photography is worst, even you can take good photos from your mobile. So please bring your own photographer. So Village restaurant organizer/owner, please take a note of this, I am victim of this.

First experience in October 2018 was good the food and service was excellent.Went with some guests today and it turned out to be a total disaster. The non veg buffet was charged in full and the variety was half of last times experience. The starters were empty and we waited for half an hour for the main course to be served. This time there was no one to serve , it was self service , and not to miss on the cockroaches that were seen on the crockery and furniture around. Total disaster I strongly feel they should close down as they are cheating the customers by not delivering what we are paying for. It was an embarrassment for me to have taken my guests there who were also disgusted and disappointed.
