Five Fat Monks

Visited this place a few days back. They have ample of seating arrangement. The hygiene they have maintained here is quite impressive. The interiors are simple yet elegant . Coming to the drinks, guava hit was my favorite. A bit spicy and citric in taste. In starters we tried Kung Pao Chicken, Shanghai paneer and Pepper blast chicken. All of them were finger licking good 😍. The sauces used in kung pao chicken were amazing and gave it a mild sweet and spicy flavor. It was topped with fried cashews. Shanghai paneer was mild spicy. The paneer cubes had a great texture on it. The paneer was soft and fresh. Pepper blast chicken was basically different types of boneless chicken pieces wok fried with sesame oil, red chillies and black pepper. It was simple yet so tasty. Veg Malaysian noodles sure were amazing 😍. Flat noodles tossed in sesame oil, chillis, black pepper and veggies. They were even better than the chicken ones we tried 😋! The dessert Choco pops is sure delicious! Overall, a good place to try various flavors of Chinese cuisine.

Whenever I crave for Chinese or similar foods. Five Fat Monks is the name that pops up in my mind. This elegant restaurant offers you some of the best and authentic pan Asian cuisine. Ambience The ambience is quite charming. Interiors done very nicely using wooden art. And the lightings compliment it completely. Also an outdoor seating for people who love to dine under the open sky. A bar section specially curated to serve cool and refreshing mocktails. Beverages Watermelon Island - A simple n sweet mocktail with classic watermelon flavour. Lemongrass - A fizzy lemongrass flavour infused drink. Quite refreshing. Guava hit - A guava based drink with a bit dense consistency, salt n chilli mixture on the rim to give a spicy kick while sipping on this mocktail. . Food Shanghai paneer - Pieces of paneer marinated in spice mixture and secret sauces. The paneer was bit dry and the sauces were not penetrated into the pieces. Lemon chilli rice - This was my favourite dish. Nicely prepared with balanced amount of spicy and tangy taste. Just one bite of this will make you experience a rainbow of flavours. Malaysian noodles - great taste, awesome flavours. That's all I would say. This doesn't need more appreciation Pepper blast chicken - The best chicken dish of the day. Hot peppers and shredded chicken combined to form a bomb. Phat nin noodles and Kung pao chicken were also good. Fried choco pops - This dessert was an example of awesome creativity. Marie biscuits crushed and formed into small balls which are then fried and served with vanilla ice cream garnished with chocolate chips along with a bowl of hot chocolate sauce to pour over the ice cream. I would definitely recommend to everyone reading this, try to visit here atleast once. I'm sure you will thank me later.

Five fat monks, a place where you can expect some great Pan Asian delicacies. (as the name suggests). Situated in hyped Balewadi Street, it can be considered as a very good option for dinner or lunch. The ambience is really simple and cosy with properly arranged indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were very helpful and Cooperative. The service was quick and the food served to us was fresh and hot. Let's talk about food now. We started with some cocktails: Pina colada 2.0, Blue Ice and Guava Hit. Pina colada was light and refreshing. Blue ice was sweet and prepared with ice cream. Quite amazing. I liked the Guava Hit as its spicy and refreshing at the same time. Then the owner of the restaurant told us to try the veg Manchurian sizzlers which is yet to be added in the menu. The Sizzlers were delicious and yummy. Full Marks to the sizzlers. Then we tried their unlimited endless menu. One veg and one non-veg. I liked their concept of the "Unlimited endless menu".  You can have one rice or noodle with a gravy/ starter and one soup. And after finishing it you can also change the dishes ordered before. like if you have ordered rice earlier and now you can order noodles also. The concept is really amazing and innovative. Also, the quantity served is pretty good in one go itself. Then we tried the "Make your own wok" just to satisfy our curious nature.  Its basically a concept of making your own wok by selecting your own base, protein, veggie, sauce and garnishes. We ordered one veg wok consisting of Bao and veggies in sweet and sour sauce. And one non-veg wok with the base of rice with chicken cooked in oyster sauce. Both were delicious and worth trying. The desserts were the stars of the meal. We tried Honey Noodle with ice cream and Fried Choco Bombs. Both were amazing. Fried Choco bombs were quite different from the regular chocolate dessert. Must-try. Overall Rating : *Ambience : 4 /5 *Service : 4.5 /5 *Food : 4.5 /5 *VFM : 4/ 5

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.

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.

Visited this place few days back to try out their 2nd Anniversary special menu. Five fat monk is a Pan Asian restaurant situated in the busy lanes of Balewadi Highstreet. They have indoor as well as outdoor seating options. Ambience is cool and cozy inside. Coming to the drinks we tried Spicy guava that is a delightful combination of spicy, tart and fruity taste. Then tried watermelon cooler and virgin mojito. Both tasted good. Coming to starters we tried: ✓ Crispy spiced potato: Crispy potatoes tossed with lots of masalas and chilli flakes. It was served in a martini glass. ✓Cocktail prawns: Served in a glass, prawns tossed in cocktail sauce that was made inhouse. It's sweet and spicy in taste. Highly recommend. ✓ Japanese fried chicken: Perfectly cooked chicken nuggets coated with a crispy layer outside. Goes really well with mayonise. From main course I tried: ✓ The zen hen chicken: Asian style chicken gravy served with fried rice. Gravy was delicious and the chicken pieces were tender. ✓ Wok your own: So the best part of this place is that we can choose our own wok and toppings in it from the various options. I've selected plain noodles base with Kung Pao sauce and chicken in it. The large size bowl is more than enough for a single person. From desserts I tried ✓ Chocolate coffee bomb: layered with coffee flavoured brownie base, icecream scoop and topped with chocolate sauce and chocolate chips. ✓Fried Choco pops: Icecream scoops with hot chocolate sauce and small fried chocolate balls. Had a great time. Gonna visit soon :)
