This place has very good ambience, and the architecture of this restaurant is phenomenal. I visited this place late at night, and though it was half an hour before their closing time, they readily offered me. Food quality is really nice. Do try the veg peppered potato skin in starters. And yes, you do get drinks here.

Best option are to try the wok. Choose your own veggies and meat, select your sauce and chef combines it to perfection. Awesome ambience and tasty dishes. Must visit once

Nice ambience, clean and neet. Helpful and quick staff even at closing time late night (11pm). Take look at centre top, there whole glass waiting for you to experience different shades of light in day time.We went there to try WOK, specifically. And yes, its awesome and limitless and tasty.. you get a feel like half chef when you prepare your WOK amongst the available different types of noodles/rice, veggies and/or non-veggies options. Tell chef you choice of sauce and he will take of rest while you watch him giving stir to your dish.Tried gooey brownie for 130/- INR - tasty.Comparatively not that costly. Families were around having really good time. Located in the e-square building on ganeshkhind road.

The ambience is one of the best I could find in the city. The all-you-can eat continental menu is totally worth every single penny. Its healthy, tasty and hygienic.

Situated in a prime location with valet parking and a pleasant ambience, Oriental Connexions is a restaurant which caters to a wide audience - couples, family and friends. The menu has some good options for those who crave Indo-chinese food but want to try new dishes from this cuisine.The Quick Wok is one of the best options on the menu. We can choose from a wide range of noodles, rice, meat, assorted vegetables and seafood and ask the chef to prepare the dish with sauces and condiments of our choice. It assures unlimited food at a great deal. Drinks and desserts are quite good. This place offers a relaxed environment where we can have good food and conversations.

The place gives you a feeling of a different world all together, but the food and some of the staff does not do justice to it. I did not have a very good experience. The staff members were not polite, the captains were just lost somewhere that day. After waiting for more than 45 minutes we got the wrong dish and the momos we ordered were simply awful! It felt like such a waste of time and money. Think twice and read more critical reviews before visiting :)

Food quality is awesome but ambiance is not so good. This place doesnt look like what you can see in zomato. Its a big hall where you will sit and have your food. You need to book it in prior otherwise you will not get place specially on weekends.

A wok to remember!!!😋 I definitely recommend the wok. You can choose either the veg wok or the non veg wok. Choose your basic carbohydrate (flat noodles, regular noodles, whole wheat noodles, rice, brow rice), then choose from an array of veggies , protein ( cottage cheese, tofu, fish cakes, prawns, chicken, chicken salami, lamb, squid) Finally top it off with with the sauces of you choice ( sauces have been categorised into spicy, very spicy, non spicy categories) Add condiments of you choice ( crushed peanuts, chilly oil, sesame oil, pepper, lime juice,garlic flakes). After this your choices will be stirfried and given to you. You can take a second helping, third helping how much ever you want. The wok is really value for money. If the wok is not suitable for you you can choose from a myriad ala carté menu. The mocktail are pretty good, I recommend the virgin mojito. Alcoholic beverages also served here.

Review №16

Pocket friendly and good quality food. We opt for the unlimited buffet. They have many options which can be added to the wok bowl and the best part is - you can have unlimited bowls. They have 2 color bowls - Red for non vegetarian and black/dark green for vegetarians. One thing which I noticed on how it work notice board in this restaurant was - If you are vegetarian then inform our chef, they will make it separately. Since the bowl color is different then why you need to specifically inform the chef? 🤔Also, I had my own doubts regarding the in which they were preparing, whether those were washed or not.Overall I would rate it 4 to 4.5

Great ambience and very tasty food. If you go there after watching a movie you get 20% Discount too if your bill crosses 1000 mark. You also get your valet parking bill reduced from the food bill but you can get only either of the two. Those real Chinese food buffs can actually select the ingredients of their food that too for unlimited quantities.

Review №18

It’s not a regular restaurant as u think. It’s having a theme buffet. Earlier Name was stir n fry. You choose your noodles, rice, addons and sauces too. It’s good to try it once as it’s a different concept. You do have the option of a la carte. You can order regular Chinese and Thai food. No Indian food. Yes drinks are available both alcoholic and non alcoholic. I kinda didn’t like it. For 550 you can eat anywhere and good food. But had to try this so. If u are not a Chinese food lover don’t go there. It’s a no for family lunch or dinner. Office lunch and friends eating out can try it.also parking is whopping ₹60 and if u have taken valet parking then u r good they reimburse only valet parking charge.

Very nice place, offers a very good menu including a live wok counter where for 495 per person you select your bowl of all the things you want decide from a choice of sausage and condiments and get your wok completely customized. Very nice flavours, great service and polite staff...Besides that also there is a pretty nice a-la-carte menu with a range of options from Thai to Chinese, soups to desserts, etc.Ambiance is pretty good with light background music, dim and romantic lights during the evening great decor...

Great place for Asian food.Food we ate - Veg Tom Yum Soup, Prawns Lollipop (grilled), Chicken Know Suey and Brownie with ice cream, everything was brilliant.

Lovely place to visit for asian food.... The food is a little heavy on the pocket but its worth it... The ambience is also pretty good... The management and service are spot on... I had ordered a blue lagoon and was not happy with it... They replaced it immediately... You have an option to choose from the À la carte menu or to make youre own wok...All in all a very good experience.

One of the best places to have woks. You🍜 can try as many combinations as you want, for a mere few bucks. Worth the money. Have visited the place a number of times, with no disappointments so far. Also, the cheesecake is a must try 🍰 😋😋

Review №32

This place is my sons favorite 💖!We first visited this place when it was called All Stir Fry, and have been regular since then.Best part: Unlimited deal allows you to try multiple combinations of rice, noodle, veggies and meat, which we do each time 🙂.Taste: Most combinations of sauces, condiments, veggies and meat taste good, but we prefer mild sauces over medium and spicy.Consistency: Sometimes we do find variation in taste, but not sure why? Maybe different cooks on different days of week use different proportion of sauces or condiments when preparing the wok. On the last visit, my first wok with the regular ingredients tasted very different (very salty), which my son also felt when he tried the same oyster sauce.Pain: Parking and security check. Valet parking charges of ₹100, adjusted in bill if amount is ₹1,000 or more, but only one per bill.

Great decor, ambience and service. You can order from the menu, or go for their famous Wok option. For 500 rupees, one can get unlimited wok. The vegetables and meat are super fresh and the cooks suggest some great sauces depending on your taste. Overall an extremely delightful experience.

Yummy taste. Best Venue. Best Menu. Wok dishes are a speciality. Enjoyed wok with beer. Wallet Parking. Reasonable pricing. Veg & non veg, both. I feel, diabetic patients will love to visit here because there are number of vegetables/fishes etc in wok. And the beauty is one can select the items to be put in wok in any quantity. This helps maintaining your diet. Cook will just add up spices/sausages, heat them & serve you hot.

I absolutely loved their interior! It’s totally in sync with the cuisine of the restaurant.Their food is amazing. No two thoughts on that!I loved their Roasted Pepper Chicken and Burnt Garlic & Pepper Rice.Their ‘Quick Wok’ is also an interesting option if you’re up for a Wok-hog! 🍲However, there is a huge scope of improvement as far as the service is concerned.

One of the best Asian fine diners in this area. Small one but not usually crowded. Food quality and taste is awesome. Service is good. Ambience is great as well.One can opt for wok (stir fried preparation where you can choose your vegetables, rice/noodles, proteins, sauces,etc and ask chef to prepare the same. )

Great food and experience. They have assorted veggies and different meats that you choose and pick and they stir-fry them immediately. Service is good. They do charge 7.5% service charge. Also use the valet parking as the restaurant refunds the RS. 100/- parking fee but only valet parking. View is good.

This is a very nice restaurant for Chinese food. Its not very well known among local people. The food is tasty. You can also prepare your own wok. The only surprising thing for me was that they do not have Thai and Korean variety that much considering they are supposed to cover the whole South Asian menu.

Review №45

One of my favorite places !! Lovely place, Nice ambiance the food is exceptionally awesome!I like their concept of Wok which is what i will recommend to eat. Its like you choose your ingredients and sauces with vegetables and they toss in a pan. Vegans need not worry as they use different pans for non vegans.a tip try mixing 2 sauces of asking the chef to surprise you! its not that expensive, rather I would say good value considering unlimited servingsrating out of 5Food 5Ambiance 4.5Service 3.5Value 4

Review №48

I like the Wok there. Take little, experiment with the different ingredients, sauces and condiments. Sometimes a combination may just work out for your taste buds. There are other Chinese cuisine items in their menu. Food is great and so is the ambience. One can combine a movie with lunch/dinner outing. Parking is a problem, but one can always opt for valet parking, and get the ticket discounted from the meal bill.

Good wok options. A suggestion for hotel management is to keep an additional small counter for curd rice varieties just like the wok counter. This should be a nice cool conclusion, especially if your wok turns out spicier than you think, which is not uncommon.

If it’s one of those days when your hunger knows no limits, head to one of these five places and eat like there is no tomorrow. Work up a good appetite before visiting these places and make sure you wear your stretchy pants!The Wok Box at Oriental Connexions is the unlimited food fix you have been looking for. Their live wok counter lets you choose from the base (rice, noodles, pasta), choice of meat or seafood (fish, prawns and squids) and vegetables. After you have chosen everything, head to the live counter and ask the chef to cook it for you with the sauces and the condiments that you like. Help yourself with as many servings as you want. To end the fabulous meal you will be served a fortune cookie with a mystical message.Timings: 12.30 pm to 3.30 pm; 7 pm to 10.30 pmPrice: Rs 480++

Good Food but poor service. You have to hunt for stewards, they are too busy with their mobiles. They dont believe in changing the crockery and cutlery for main course, expect the guest to eat out of soiled plates. On being requested for change they give you an unwanted looks. People need more training. Overall a bad experience.
