Lane 5, Koregaon Park, Pune
This used to be a cozy little place that reminded you of street cafes in Italy. However, with a change in the location, the owner has made it slightly more upscale with an indoor and outdoor seating. Commenting on the ambience would not really be fair because the interiors are still underway. However, the food just makes up for everything.
The eatery has shifted its location numerous times around Koregaon Park. I hope it stays put this time because getting a hold of the location proved to be rather tedious.
I love that the menu keeps changing. But what made me truly love this place is that it serves you gourmet dishes at a very affordable price. You often find these places that try to have ambitious menu cards that get you really excited and the food is pretty much a bag full of air.
It took us quite a while to pick out our appetisers and entrees.
We ordered the Burnt Garlic Prawns for starters. If you're wondering if it tasted as good as it looks, the answer is yes. It lived up to our expectations entirely. We're very big on prawns- thus, very judgemental when it comes to a prawn dish. It had that amazing smoke filled flavour to it. You can never go wrong with garlic and prawns man!
For the main course, we ordered a Roasted Chicken Pizza which comprised of capers and cheese. When the pizza arrived, we were a little worried because it was fairly large and we had to still chow down a whole other dish shortly after this one! However, the crust was so beautifully thin and light, it melted in your mouth. It doesn't make you feel weighed down and stuffed the way a regular pizza would make you feel.
The other main course was a Philly Cheese Steak. I wasn't quite impressed with their version of it. It was smaller than a regular one, didn't have cheese oozing out and the beef wasn't juicy enough. It just made for a mediocre sandwich. Ah, well...everything can't be perfect I guess =].
I was happy to find that they still had the Fresh Fruit Sangria on the menu. It was delicious the last time I had it. Has fresh pieces of apples and clementine. They used to have a breakfast menu that had amazing bagels. I'm not sure if they still do though =[.
Been here before? Let me know what tickled your palate! =D
