Pune's Favourite Chinese Eatery Dishes Out Authentic Delicacies That Don't Cost A Bomb

Just off Bund Garden Road, is Suonmoi – a 15+ year old Chinese eatery. Their comfortable old-school vibe and quaint Chinese decor make it popular among local families and tourists, but it’s the food and warm hospitality that keep them coming back for more.

The cuisine here is primarily Chinese fare, with a recently introduced Thai section on the menu as well. It’s as close to the real deal as it’s going to get – this definitely isn’t your run-of-the-mill Indo-Chinese food. From tofu and Chinese greens to crab, prawns, beef, chicken, and even duck – there’s something for everyone on their vast menu.

We recommend trying their Sunmoi’s special soup {veg INR 120+, non veg INR 135+}}, hot garlic tofu {INR 255}, veggies with cashew nuts {INR 235+}, lemon chicken {INR 245}, garlic fish {INR 275}, duck in chili soya sauce {INR 575}, and the crab chili butter garlic {on availability}. We like their Thai massaman curry with tenderloin {INR 325}, and hear their ‘Kai Yang’ – spice island style Thai BBQ chicken {INR 275} is worth a try.

End your meal on a sweet note with their date pancakes with ice cream {INR 170}, or the classic honey noodles with ice cream {INR 275}. You’ll definitely have to loosen your pants after a meal here! Ask them to cook you something authentic and unusual, and they’ll be happy to oblige.

Their service is friendly, and the staff are always helpful with dish suggestions that are right on the mark. The portions are generous, and the prices are extremely pocket-friendly – you could enjoy an entire feast without breaking the bank! Home delivery is available {to select areas} the old-school way – by calling them over the phone.

They also serve a Chinese herbal tea here that’s great for digestion.
