Dumbbells and Drama

Effingut Brewerkz : Baner

Loud singing, noisy oompah bands, crispy chicken strips lying in pools of mustard, wooden tables that have many a drunken story to share and a lot of beer: these big, boozy bashes are such a hit with the fun –seekers of across all ages, they’ve been replicated world over in the form of Oktoberfests and […]

Le Kebabiere Opens Its Doors Once More!

Time to fire up our winters with some super hot stuff- Ladies and gentlemen, Le Kebabiere is back with a bang. With a unique touch to the Indian cuisine that only Chef Shailendra Kekade can conjure, Le Kebabiere is set to be one of the hottest restaurants in Pune’s fine dining circuit. With winter in […]

Running through the by-lanes of Chandni Chowk

Snarled by traffic, crammed by shops selling silver jewelry, saris, blouses and mannequins dressed in lehengas, marking the entrance to stores filled with excited women shopping for a shaadi – Delhi’s most famous shopping street is characterized by drama, pandemonium and an old world charm quite lost in the otherwise buzzing metropolis. No visit to […]

ChatRoom #2 – Aditya Kakodkar

Back with guest number 2 on this blog : everyone say hey to Aditya Kakodkar. I’ve met him a total of 3 times, but I couldn’t help noticing his enthusiasm for all things strange, his determination to push himself to the next level, and his thirst for knowledge. It’s always fun sitting with someone who […]

Mexican Food Fest- Melange

There are so many food festivals happening all over the place, I have almost lost interest in them. Once in a while I do come across something fun, so of course I had to jump oat the opportunity to check out the Mexican Food Fest at Melange. I have always been a fan of Mexican […]

Mineority Cafe and Bar

I have lost count of the number of places that have opened up in Koregaon Park-Kalyani Nagar in the last year. By the time I get down to trying out one place, there is another one begging for attention. In fact I visited Callow only this weekend, and I still haven’t eaten the deep dish […]

My Comfort Food

I’ve noticed how food has gained this sort of importance in my life that nothing else could. Bad day- I think of food to calm me down. Bad meeting- I take comfort in the fact that there was food. Bad date- at least there was food! Bad weather- there’s something in the fridge that will […]

Ramen Menu at Shizusan

We have some good news for Ramen lovers here in Pune- Shizusan, the friendly neighbourhood fusion restaurant has introduced a new Ramen menu last July, and from what I’ve seen, heard and experienced, people have a lot to thank Shizusan for. Shizusan, the hipster mascot, is back from his tour of East Asia, and he’s got […]

The Sunday Brunch at Conrad, Pune

There’s a regular brunch buffet, and then you have the brunch buffet at Conrad. You eat 2, ok maybe 3 rounds of food at a regular buffet, and then you struggle to taste everything that’s on the menu even after 5 servings at the Conrad buffet. But you eat anyway. True story. I was invited […]

Kobe Sizzlers, Pune

It’s probably the first time we’ve done this, and we have returned with good memories. Date nights are fun, but date nights with a lot of food are better. This time around we did things the traditional way- we decided to visit a restaurant with minimum frills, known for great food. An eatery popular with families […]
