Pantry D'Or is one upscale cafe whose desserts can rightfully be categorized as superlative. They have a superfluity of variety on offer and are high on decadence and as luscious as you get. They have pastries in all colors, shapes and sizes and clearly walk the talk and call the shots in being one of the finest there is especially on the dessert front.
We were on a dinner invite to this place on a weekday evening. This cafe too as per the recent norm is constructed out of a quaint old home and is placed in a quiet little suburb off Cenotaph Road in the Sriram Nagar colony, Alwarpet. The interiors are minimalistic and the color palette is under played giving itself an old world feel. Nothing seems over the top on any count and feels like just the right set up for a modern day cafe. The cafe as such is large in size being placed in a 2 storey canvas and is polarized pretty well into different enclaves and there is ample space to hold large set of folks.
Desserts are obviously their forte but they also possess a pretty variegated continental spread. We started our course with the immensely refreshing strawberry sorbet to get our systems underway. Then followed the Broccoli soup which was well delivered with the suitable level of thickness and creaminess. We had starters in the form of Nachos with the tortilla chips being infused suffusedly with cheese and veggies and going off the cuff were the pani puri's which were a bit of a surprise in a patisserie of this kind. The puri's however were ballooned with a tinge of avacado which didn't really set the ball rolling.
For main course, we went with the veg pizza which was made on a base layered with cheese aplenty and there was further more cheese oozing over the base with a handful of veggies to boot. The abundant amount of cheese might feel a little over powering for some but I certainly enjoyed this slurpish triangular delight. The Aglio Olio penne pasta was fairly okay but felt a little too plain for the liking. Just felt that something was amiss on this one. The egg plant dish however was presented really well and was top notch on the taste front. The veg stroganoff had an interesting curry with plenty of cottage cheese, broccoli's and onions and was well curried and apt to eat along with the yellow rice and potato wedges for company. The shakes however turned out to be a bit of a disappointment with none of them being really impressive.
Of course the end was on a heartwarming note as we got to splurge on a handful of desserts with virtually each of them turning out to be marvelous. Apart from the cake based one's, we also got to have a crack at a waffle and pancake which were also pretty good.
Thumbs up on the service front as we were treated really well and the time taken in between each of the dishes were right on the mark. It isn't fair to comment on the pricing but must say you cannot expect such fine quality desserts at rates better than this.
Overall, it was a very engaging dinner and without a shadow of doubt Pantry D'or can be recommended as one of the finest outlets for rejoicing rich, sinful and creamy desserts. The fact that the place also happens to serve a diverse continental spread adds to the fore and is certainly a nice little cafe to head over for a laid back and relaxed meal.
