Where to Eat in Pune: The Best Restaurants and Bars

August 20, 2017 Enriqueta Cusson

Education, the arts and music are staples of life in the culture-rich city of Pune. The Pataleshwar Cave Temple, dating to the eighth century and dedicated to the god of the underworld, is a marvel of rock-cut architecture. For a panoramic city view, climb to temple-topped Parvati Hill.

Barbeque Nation

Reviewed By Sachin_Voyager - Pune

I don't even remember now how many times I visited BN since 2011, but I always enjoys their hospitality and food.
This time I went with my parents at Wakad and no complaint at all, online booked without any concern, restaurant was almost empty as weekdays lunch time. Complimentary drinks were good for lunch. food was good as usual with Crabs in main course.
Good option if you want to enjoy only Indian flavoured food especially non-veg!

Spice Kitchen

Indulge in an array of crafted multi-cuisine delicacies. Experience a lavish buffet spread as well as a selection of a-la-carte options.

Reviewed By IntelligentIdeas

Decided to celebrate "Gudi Padva" at the Pune JW Marriott's acclaimed SPICE KITCHEN. A restaurant with, now,a fast growing reputation for Superb food and it's amazing value for money offering. Today, being a Sunday, the Spice Kitchen, at the lobby level at the JW Marriott Pune, was extremely tastefully decorated, the entire staff was dressed very smartly in traditional Maharashtrian outfits, which made the ambience go up several notches. The chef's had outdone themselves today! The food was absolutely outstanding. I must say that the incredible food and superlative dessert selection, more than justified the highly priced buffet. It was evident that every single item on the buffet was made with love and significant efforts. This quality and taste would have been impossible otherwise. I met a Chef called Rajan, who came to our table, and ensured that we were very comfortable and happy. Must add that he went out of his way and way beyond his duty, to ensure our satisfaction. Recommend that you say hello to him when you go to the Spice Kitchen.
The spread today was extremely satisfying, the variety was mind numbing and everything to their credit was very aesthetically placed and decorated.
I usually don't write such long reviews, but the Spice Kitchen and it's team totally deserve accolades and applause for the wonderful experience they provide. Don't hesitate to visit it, I am certain you'd be as happy as we were today. Bon Apertit!

Chingari

Adjacent to the outdoor swimming pool, Chingari is an idyllic place to explore the exotic flavours of North India while enjoying the cool breeze that sweeps over the rooftop every evening. The Seating area is covered by a high wooden roof and separated from the pool by beautiful open latticework screens. The wide parquet floor is embellished with ebony inlay. Square wooden tables are flanked with locally crafted wooden armchairs. Copper-coloured water goblets gleam in the candlelight-adding to the earthy rustic charm of the setting. The open-air kitchen gives guests a prime view of Master Chef Quereshi at the grill, creating his daily assortment of signature marinades and savoury Indian breads. Apart from the menu's enticing selection of fragrant curries, pickled vegetables and delectable appetizers, the restaurant is particularly beloved for its grilled meats, seafood and vegetarian options. Also not to be missed are the signature Chingari Dal, the Ran-e-Chingari and the Galoti kebabs. After enjoying a meal of exquisitely prepared local delicacies, each guest is offered a finger bowl of lukewarm water infused with fragrant fresh tea leaves.
