Dumbbells and Drama

Hard Rock Cafe is back with a food festival and this time it’s what I’ve been dreaming about- burritos, nachos, tacos, the works! Yeah, there is a Latin American food festival going on at Hard Rock Cafe Pune this month. And should you be excited about it? HELL YEAH!

I dropped by for lunch this weekend, and oh dear lord. Oh oh dear lord. Leaving you with pictures, I hope you understand the feels *sigh*

I was genuinely surprised to see that they’ve gone out of their way to spruce up the place a little bit.

hard rock cafe  cocktails
The Fiesta Menu has an exclusive list of cocktails. We got the chance to taste all of them-Strong cocktails that taste good-please feel free to order any one of them. They are all superb!

hard rock cafe  white cocktail
This is a kiwi based drink (called Spotty) which is a little too fabulous to be honest. Brilliant stuff!
hard rock cafe  red cocktail
A pomegranate based cocktail (Pome & Malta Margarita)- surprisingly EXTREMELY delish.
hard rock cafe  pink mocktail
This one was my favorite- my litchi based concoction minus the alcohol 🙂 This one is my “Cranberry and Litchi Virgin Margarita” SO super delish it’s not even funny.
hard rock cafe  prawn tacos
The orange tequila prawns are to die for. I can’t even begin to explain why I think you need to come down right away and give this a try. So good, it reminded me of butter chicken feels.

Looking at this I think I want to go back again.
hard rock cafe  chicken skewers
There’s chicken skewers, and then there’s this. The Char Grilled Tex-Mex Chicken Skewers are huge, chunky pieces of juicy meat grilled perfectly. It’s easy to cut and chew the chicken even when this cools down (chicken skewers tend to get a little hard) Definite reco!

hard rock cafe  chicken burrito
Chicken Burritos for lunch. This looked extremely filling and intimidating, but I was overjoyed to realize I finished my half with ease. Loved the absence of oil or grease messing with the palette. And the FRIES!!!! Let’s talk after you try this one out 🙂

hard rock cafe  brownie
Sizzling brownie with ice cream- good stuff, but nothing very unusual about it. Would have preferred something more Latin American. Churros maybe?

 

What worked-

1. The fest is on for a good one month (ends on 6 Sept) Usually their fests end in 2 weeks, not leaving us with much time to plan out a visit.

2. The food. I have always had a good experience with the food at Hard Rock Cafe, and I think it only keeps getting better. I’d recommend each and every  dish I tried. 

Suggestions-

1. Service- the energy levels were too low…it’s not what I expected at Hard Rock Cafe, you know what I mean? There’s ample room for improvement.
