Located in the Mills, this is one gastronomical affair. With just the right ambience and not harsh on the ears music, they've pulled off a sweet setting with elegantly done interiors and seating arrangement. The food is absolutely impeccable, from the presentation to the taste. Starters, cocktails, desserts, anything you order off the menu is a culinary bliss. The attendants are knowledgeable about the dishes and are extremely courteous & warm. Highly recommended.

Baobab : Used in foods because of its nutrients, possible health benefits, and as a natural preservative. . Baobab is a newly opened cafe bar in the wide area of the Mills . Situated behind sheraton grand this place has something to say about . The place gives you the vibes of internal specific fine dine and outer seatings are like on the beaches , wide , open , full of greens , tent like decor and a tree in middle . . The place has a gigantic bar counter with more than accomdative drinks you can think of . Serving some never seen before mixology and presentation of the drinks . . The food here is commendable starting from the bar bites , to the appetizer to the main course and desserts . We had a great chance to dine here with good atmoshpere outside which complemented it very well . Mentioning to be as good edamame with burnt garlic , nkcley fried and marinated to keep if soft and delicious . The spanakopita , a star shaped veg appetizer filled with gooey cheese and spinach , crunchy in outside , cheezy in the inside . . The 3 mushroom pasta served with garlic breads was another fantastic dish from them . Laterly we had paneer chlli bao , stuffed very well , bao was commendable as to say more than soft and good . .

Overall a great place to hangout , with wide spread area , good hospitality , fast service and eco-friendly natural vibes out there . . Go Enjoy !!

Cocktails/ Mocktails: Ordered Hawaiian Punch and Butter Beer. Hawaiian Punch had run with a fun taste of orange and coconut. Food: Dal Pakwaan - Hate the oily, unhealthy 'chakana' along your drinks? Baobab has this as a fantastic substitute with chana dala, chutneys , pomegranate and crunchy crackers. Also this dish definitely gives you the satisfaction of choosing a healthy but also a tasty option. Jalapeno Paneer - Hands down one of the finest & fresh paneer I have had so far. Extremely soft and delicious this dish can be a little heavy. Mushroom Po Boy Bao - Personal favorite!  To my surprise mushroom in this was crunchy unlike multiple mushroom dishes I have had. Spiced Spinach N Corn dimsum - well cooked and delicious. Not many places get dimsum cooked the right amount. This was not to chewy , not to stuffed, just the right amount. All points for the unique spinach and corn filling. Tostones & Cottage Cheese - Tried this Puerto Rican and I have no regrets. Burmese Khao Suey- No enough words to describe the delicious curry of this dish. This has coconut milk curry with garlic noodles which blend in to make it just the right amount of spicy and sweet. Burnt Garlic Edamame - An east Asian cuisine with immature soyabean. The health freak in me loved it. I liked the presence of water chestnuts in these. But would like to see a little more of burnt Garlic flavor in this. Desserts: Intense Chocolate - This was an intensely enlightening dessert. Just like they promised they delivered it extremely creamy and chocolatey. Soft and consistent throughout. Staff: Extremely warm staff. Highly professional waiters. They let me choose a table of 6 for a company of 2. That barely happens. But the minute you enter here you know you are going to be treated well. Ambience: This is quite a spacious place with beautiful ambience. They have outdoor seating too. Baobab has enough space to fit in a team for too.

It was the happiest day for my friend and me as we got placed. And we wanted to celebrate it. So we went through places on Zomato finally decided to dine in at Baobab. I reserved the table prior. At the entrance we were greeted by the staff of the restaurant. The table was already arranged for us. The guy at the entrance escorted us to our table. And as we entered inside,we were welcomed by this amazingly warm and elegant indoor ambience of the restaurant with this huge seatings. Every staff present inside greeted us with the smile. We finally were seated. And as soon as we seated,we were offered the 'moongfallis' as welcome finger food. Then with this huge smile on the face,the waiter handed over the menu card to us. I was so delighted to see their menu card. The menu card had all dishes described in details right from the ingredients to spices. So we had very less doubt about the dish and how is it gonna be. So in a very less time we ordered the food. 1.) Cocktails and Mocktails. We ordered Hawaiian punch in cocktail. It contained rum blended with tanginess of orange and sweetness of coconut. In mocktails we ordered Sapphire Fizz. Blend of pineapple fizz mixed with coconut served extremely chill. I would suggest that there should be less mixture of coconut juice since it dominated the taste and I could feel less pineapple flavour in it. But overall I term it Oh-be-Joyful 😄 2)Starters. In starters we asked the waiter to suggest us some dishes. So after considering his suggestion,we ordered jalapeno paneer tikka,Kumbh ki Galouti and Shanghai chicken dimsums. In Jalapeno paneer tikka,the paneer were amazingly tender and soft. The texture of the paneer was consistent throughout and it could kinda melt in your mouth. The first bite into your mouth gives you the feel of crunch of jalapeno with the paneer.This starter was very heavy on stomach. Then Kumbh ki galaouti. Now this was something new,yet interesting for us. We were excited for kinda presentation they made. Kumbh ki Galouti were the kebabs of finely chopped and minced mushrooms. Even this was very soft and you could feel all the flavours as soon as you take a bit Outta it. I suggest it to be a bit more juicy. And we had Shanghai chicken dumplings. The chicken was so finely cooked. The dish was served hot and steamy and every bite tells you about the freshness of chicken used. Try this along with the sauces to add to the taste. 4) Main course. Since we were very high on the starters,we decided to go with single maincourse. So we ordered Moroccan Vegetable Tangine. This is North African dish,as the name suggest, comes with fresh veggies cooked properly in tomato stew. The dish is slow cooked in traditional earthenware dish. The veggies are not too much cooked as it could loose it's flavours. They were perfectly cooked and served with very delicious khus khus. You would enjoy this dish as it was both a bit sweet and sour. This was my favourite dish among all the one. But I would suggest that the quantity of the khus khus against that of the veggies should be more. But other than that,the dish was a perfect treat to us. 4) Dessert. There is no happy ending without desserts. And chocolate is a treat on the trail. We ordered intense chocolate cheesecake. This is one of the most amazing cheesecake I have ever tried. Very soft and consistent texture throughout. The amount of chocolate was very accurate. Inside you could see the layers of chocolates. A must try one. It was an amazing experience at this restaurant due to its staff. So friendly and ready to help. There wasn't a moment,were I had to wait for them to come over. They were always available near you to help. Also the service was quick for the kinda dishes we ordered. The restaurant has also got an outdoor seating with a huge tree in the centre adding to its ambiance. They have got this huge Oriental, continental, African, Italian and many more cuisines to try from. The restaurant has good clean and seperate washrooms for ladies and gent.. You would not find this restaurant easy on you

Baobab is a tree found in the African continent, having an enormous trunk capable of storing water in the rainy season, to sustain drought. Known as 'The Tree of Life', every part of this tree is valuable. Ambience:- Ohhh don't get me started on the ambience of this place, it's hands down charismatic and it's filled with captivating things which will blow your mind, a gorgeous tree, a small peanut stall, delightful tables with unique names and much more. Food:- They have a very cute tradition of serving boiled peanuts until your food comes to your table and they prepare that on a very pretty cart which I found very vintage and authentic. We ordered so many dishes in both veg and non veg and almost all the dishes left us wanting for more. Some of the dishes we ordered were:- * Dal Pakwaan *Jalapeno Paneer Tikka *Cappuccino Fungi Trifolati Soup *Chilli Paneer Bao *Aloha Sling *Mulberry Spritzer *Broccoli Cauliflower Alfredo *Intense Chocolate *Mango Cheesecake and much more. Quality:- Everything was absolutely top notch, I really enjoyed the crisp garlic bread, Al Dante pasta, soft baos which will melt in your mouth, fantabulous desserts and the exceptional presentation. Service:- The best and the most outstanding service I've ever seen 4 people were ready and on their toes, they absolutely made sure that we had an splendid evening. Hygiene:- The place was really hygienic and they were very careful about every small detail and that is a very important factor for me., the plates were changed after every cost and everyone was in proper attire to give an experience of a life time. Cost:- I would say I wouldn't even think once about the cost after such a magnificent experience. i would highly recommend this place.

I visited this place last week it is located in center city at The Mills and found it amazing and Baobab is enormous. Parking space, indoor section, outdoor section, couple section, family space, bar – everything in one place. An absolute gem of a club and an absolute gem of a restaurant. As soon as you enter you get mesmerized but the amazing vibes this place has to offer. With the addition of The Mills vibes, the weekends for the people living nearby are sorted. They have a bar an indoor and an outdoor setting is also good. The outdoor space is huge with ample amount of seating space. The drinks are trippy, exotic and majestic. I have tried the following dishes - Starters and main course - *Gilafi Kebab *Khusrao Chicken Tikka *Chicken Buldak *Aloha Sling *Nati Koli Fry make spicy *Salli Boti *Naans Flavoured btr+garlic *Jeera Rice Cocktails - *German Snipper Liit *Margarita *Mojito *Goan Soul *Blue Tea Gimlet Desert - *Two Berry Cheesecake Mango *Cheese Cake Summing up, food was finger-licking good and drinks..... I have real hopes with this place. Hope they do good.
