Our Story
House of Mandarin is The Chocolate Spoon Company’s first foray into Asian cuisine, the Bandra outpost was launched in 2017 and building on its popularity and success, the Powai outlet was launched in November 2019. We opened our 3rd outpost in Pune at the Sheraton Grand hotel in February 2021.
The menu comprises both contemporary and classic dishes with an array of dim sum and an exquisite selection of sushi. Seafood forms an integral part of the menu with the freshest catch used in all preparations.
Drawing from Asian influences, the beverage menu features inspired signature cocktails and mocktails for the teetotallers. In addition, the bar is stocked with fine wines and premium spirits from across the globe. We also have an extensive, true-to-tradition oriental tea menu.
The desserts are quite the highlight, featuring signature creations by Rachel Goenka such as Seven Textures of Hazelnut and Chocolate, Belgian Chocolate and Mandarin Dome with Cointreau and Sticky Toffee Pudding with Caramel Sauce, Candied Ginger & Vanilla Ice Cream.
