Dumbbells and Drama

Those on my Snapchat (dumbbellsndrama) know how kick-ass my dinner at Evviva Sky Lounge, Courtyard Marriott City Centre was. A pleasant breeze blowing on a hot summer day while the city lights flicker all along the Pune skyline, a blood-red waxing moon to keep you company and some deep house / ambient music to complete the perfect picture- nights like these are date night worthy goals. I don’t think I am ever getting over this place. EVER.

And when you’re craving for some good food and are concerned about calories, what better than a kebab platter to satisfy your cravings? It’s been around a year since I’ve been going to Evviva and never have I ever had any reason to complain as far as the food was concerned. The Chef weaves magic with the kebabs and tikkas, and I was more than happy to be a part of their tikka-loaded Chandni Chowk Food Festival.

The fest ends on 31st March, and I suggest you take out one evening to go and try THIS out –

Aam ka Jaam(aam panna made from raw mango) was an absolute delight, and so was the Masala Chaas. The Mango Lassi was my favorite(I had to call for another round)

Dal Fry- eaten with rice, this is the perfect summer meal.I might have over-eaten this combo.

Haleem- A slow cooked mixture of mutton meat, wheat, barley, lentil and spices to a perfect blend. A little heavy on the stomach for the heat tbh.

Nalli Nihari – I’d opt for this one if I’m not eating any starters. It tends to get heavy on the stomach in the summer 🙁

Dinner ended with the rice-almond-pista phirni.

3 reasons I’d recommend this –

  1. The ambiance
  2. The starters – go only for the starters if you must, but DO try them out
  3. A perfect way to unwind on a day when you’re feeling too overwhelmed with life. This place, along with it’s food and service, is strangely therapeutic.
