This casual dining restaurant offers Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian and Thai.
Meaning of the name: Pincuk= 'Banana leaf'
Address: Shop no. 1, Sul Building, Sector 20D, near NKGSD bank, Airoli, Navi Mumbai- 400708
Food: Great in
terms of taste and affordability! I loved that they serve large portions here
(no need to order too many food items!). We had ordered ‘Pincuk ramen’ (Price= Rs. 330) and ‘Nasi
Goreng rice’ (Price= Rs. 310). Pincuk ramen is ramen noodles served with chicken, prawns, egg and shiitake mushrooms. The ramen broth, noodles and prawns were amazing. Shiitake mushrooms
were ok (or maybe it’s just my taste buds which don’t agree with their taste)
and I am sorry to say that the chicken pieces tasted a bit undercooked in the
centre. Refer menu page no. 8, item no. 605 on Pincuk's Zomato page.
If you are a fan of seafood, you will looooove Nasi Goreng. Pincuk's version of Nasi Goreng is rice tossed in Thai herbs, chilli and shrimp paste, with prawns served with fried egg, satay chicken, prawns crackers and sambal sauce. There
are two versions of the sauce- the spicy and the non-spicy one. We went for the
non-spicy one. The taste of the fish in the sauce could have been more subtle.
While the sauce is a wonderful addition to the rice, the rice tastes delicious
even without it! Refer menu page no. 6, item no. 409 on Pincuk's Zomato page.
We were given this 'aale paak-like' item (Maharashtrians know what I am talking about) which had a light taste of ginger to it, after our meal. This is the equivalent of 'saunf' given in Indian restaurants and hotels.
Service: Is
impressive. In spite of being a small place area-wise, the staff was pulling
out chairs for customers. One could see the owner serving food with the rest of
the staff. Everybody cared a lot about our opinion on the food. Staff answers
everything you have to ask about the place. Name tags for every staff member
would make the service even better.
Ambience: Is
spacious and has minimalistic décor. Don’t want to give away any more spoilers.
Go there to experience yourself!
Will I go there again?: Yes. Looking forward to another visit. :)
