Food is an emotion and we Punekar’s love our food as well as the places that make us nostalgic. A glimpse of our favourite place is enough to take us through memory lane from where we seldom like to come back.
Today, we’re here to walk you down this very memory lane with our latest partnership with the very talented Shikha.
Meet Shikha– a Pune-based artist, a passionate Illustrator and a Hand Letterer. Being a food lover and a travel buff, her art is inspired by people, places and culinary indulgences.
In the ‘100 days of Pune’ series, she shares her most iconic experiences of the city, taking you on a nostalgic ride with the most historic monuments, educational institutes, places of worship, the hustling-bustling markets and lanes of Pune and much more…
Through this series, Shikha has explored the food scenario in Pune, right from the legendary restaurants to the current favourites in the city.
Here’s taking you through a virtual food walk in Pune through Shikha’s ‘100 days of Pune’ series:

Vohuman Cafe: Vohuman Cafe is a legend in itself for its delicious cheese omelettes, Bun Maska and Irani Chai. Not just it’s food, but Pune loves Vohuman’s founder -Late Hormuz Irani or ‘Bawaji’, as what Punekars called him fondly, for his cheerful and witty personality.

Chitale Bandhu Mithaiwale: Set up in 1950 by the late Raghunathrao Chitale, Chitale Bandhu Mithaiwale is now one of Maharashtra’s largest manufacturers of sweets and snacks. Chitale’s Bakarwadi and Amba Barfi are somethings Punekars swear by.

Blue Nile: The Blue Nile, located in Camp, is famous for its delicious Biryanis amongst Punekars.

Malaka Spice: Malaka Spice is another legend in the city that’s loved by generations. It has been stealing hearts with their delicious inspired South-East Asian cuisine since 1997.

Asha Dining Hall: Located on Apte Road, Asha Dining Hall has been serving unlimited Maharashtrian Thali since 1949. This place is a go-to option for many for a homely and healthy meal.

Le Plaisir: Le Plaisir, which started off as a quaint and cosy cafe in 2012, is now a large set up on Prabhat Road. This Pune’s favourite has been serving delectable European cuisine, and their Espresso Panna cotta is something you must indulge in.

Stay tuned to our Facebook page as we keep walking you down the memory lane!
With all honesty, I always wanted to give this place a shot, thanks to the fancy name, its all-eggs breakfast dishes, and value for money offers.
Thanks to #BejoyPeters (who sat here, waiting for me!) for suggesting this place, and ensuring that we didn’t move out from here, in spite of our plan elsewhere. So glad we didn’t!
The ambience of this quaint and quirky place is inviting, and there’s a tiny little shelf with the latest thrillers, fiction and inspirational books, available for a quick read, as one saunters through the not-so-confusing menu card available.
The lady at the counter was kind enough to suggest the specials at Andaground, and I’m glad we did ask her for help in choosing the best.
Egg Monaco
#EggMonaco – A thin #almostpizza, yet an omelette dish, with a generous topping of boiled egg cuts, chopped onions and parsley. Lest I forget, this pizza-esque delight was downed by both of us in a matter of minutes. The salad dressing sachets weren’t really required. Loved this dish, and recommend this starter to one and all!
#ChickenEggKheema – When in doubt, and dimaag karde mushkil jeena, just turn to Kheema. Scrambled eggs, minced chicken, pepper, garlic, butter, spices and a whole lot of taste! Add to this an extra serving of Amul butter, and grilled white bread; and lo! You have a winner. A heavy duty meal, and one where the calorie counter needs to.be neatly tucked away, while indulging into! A complete meal in itself.
Chicken Egg Kheema
#SpicyChickenWings: Not too spicy to our liking, and the mustard-based dressing was a bit too strong. I’d suggest 2 plates for each person, in case you’re craving for chicken wings. One plate won’t be able to whet large appetites at all!
#ExpressoCoffee: Loves the strong, pitch dark brew which was very refreshing and soothing for the throat.
The service was swift, the lady managing the counter was cheerful, and went to great lengths in ensuring that the food reached us pipping hot, and with the right set of accompaniments and cutlery too.
Two sets of high-fives to the team, and a shoutout to the management for maintaing a wonderful #eggsforlove establishment, where eggs rule the roost, and #egglovers can unite!
Ground Up is a 5-month-old venture at Viman Nagar which specialises in innovative gastronomy.
The concept revolves around understanding the ingredients, gathering and implementing a know-how of a plethora of food-related techniques and finally coming up with the cuisine.
Most of the stuff they get for you at the table is in-house or thoughtfully sourced and then smoked, dried and cured for months together to arrive at the final resultant to be used for cooking. They even apply a best out of waste concept , as almost everything is used/reused. Also, they go to a length of procuring vegetables/fruits which is about to be thrown by vendors.
Recently, I was at their place as part of PEO connect on New Year’s Day.
#Ambience As you enter the place, you get to see various plants, many of which are used in the cooking of their dishes. You can also notice a setup which they use to smoke the ingredients.Going further, inside you have a cozy cafe-style setup. The seating comprises of beautiful white textured tables and extremely comfortable chairs. And, for people who want to spend some lazy time, they even have a mattress where one can happily squat and enjoy their meal. You would also notice some books related to food, cooking and related stuff.
One can also find some ingredients placed on the counter.Behind the counter, you can find their lovely crockery. There is also a staircase which leads up to a place where a majority of their ingredients are placed in jars for pickling, curing, fermenting or for undergoing any of such techniques.
#Service During our visit, we were there for a set 5-course meal. We were asked of our preferences for the 3rd and 4th course- veg/chicken/pork.
As our food was being prepared, served and consumed by us, we were acquainted by Rohan (who along with Gayatri)is at the helm of things at Ground Up about the concept. Each of the dish was explained in the most articulate and detailed manner.
The focus with which I was listening, if I had even half of it during my studying days, I would have been amongst the toppers. Such was the passion and depth of knowledge which was being shared with us. On a day, if given chance, I wouldn’t mind paying up just to have an informative session by Rohan and Gayatri. I was absolutely delighted,overwhelmed and humbled as being a foodie I got a realisation that there is still a way lot more to learn about food, ingredients, techniques etc.
All this going around, we never had to wait for food, and all our needs were being carefully looked after by the staff.
#Food Well, to start with, it was a meal of a lifetime, as I had never tasted any of such food before.All the dishes were new to me and even had ingredients I had not even heard of.
First Course:Bean Tostada, Smoked Chillli Salsa– It had black Ghevda Beans, along with smoked chilli, tomatillo salsa,queso fresco cheese made from raw milk (without any preservatives) and vegetarian rennet and coriander on top.It was insanely delicious and well cooked. #HighlyRecommended
Second Course: Potato Salad,Frozen Vinegar– It had roasted potatoes along with milk mayonnaise made of mexican chintexle chillies and onions being the hot side. Kodo millet salad along with in house strawberry vinegar granita, parsley , coriander and scallion being the cold side of the dish. They source the millets from Karnataka. As for the granita, the vinegar is boiled until it reaches a proper consistency level, Further it is cooled down, sugar is added to it and then its frozen. #InnovationAtItsBest
Third Course:Broth– We had a choice between soy milk broth or chicken bone broth.I chose the latter for myself, but got to have a taste of the other one as well. Soy Milk Broth had roasted pumpkin,hence the yellowish colour.It also had mushroom,watercress, in house prepared flat rice noodles and Rice fungus soyabean Miso. Chicken Bone Broth had double smoked chicken bones along with naga peppercorn oil,watercress,green radish, flat rice noodles and miso. Both of them were quite filling and delicious. FlavourfulTummyFillingFood
Fourth Course:Banh Mi Sandwich – We had a choice here to choose between Pork/Chicken/Tofu.As earlier, I chose the pork one, but tasted the other two as well. Pork Banh Mi: It had minced pork along with fish caramel sauce,parsley,onion chives,cucumber and Ambat Chuka (Green Sorrel).
Chicken Banh Mi: It had chicken marinated in lemongrass (taken from their own plants) and garlic,charred on the grill ,minced, and finally mixed with fermented hot chilli sauce.
Tofu Banh Mi: It had house made tofu, braised in sweet soy broth, smoked with babool wood and then topped with a cold peanut sauce.
All the three were kickass, in terms of taste, but the star for me was the bread they had used. It was #KillerStuff and I loved it. I would have liked the sandwich even more, had the quantity of tofu/meat was a little more, and other ingredients a little less.
Surprise Course:Post this, we were treated for a surprise dish of Silken Tofu.It had silken tofu with Naga Peppercorn Oil and Sweet Soy. Usually, we are used to Tofu being a substitute of paneer, and we get it in hard form almost everywhere.But as the name suggests, this was silken Tofu and was as soft as curd.Other ingredients included scallion and sesame seeds (both black and white).This was quite heavy on the stomach. #RevelationDish
Fifth Course: We had two desserts to choose from here.
Black Sesame and peanut milk pudding with pink guava and lemon balm: The pudding was delectable and can make up for a spin-off dessert alone. The crushed pink guava and lemon balm added colour and flavour to the dish. #Pudding Love
Sourdough Ice Cream with Smoked Salt, fig, preserved kumquat slices and cold pressed oil. It was a novel dessert by all imaginations as I have never had a sourdough based dessert before.It was crunchy,exotic and an incredible end of a superb meal.
Kudos To Ground Up for gracing Pune with their exquisite offerings.
To Conclude, I have some suggestions for everyone-
Foodies: Do some favour to yourself and visit this place as soon as you can. One more way this place differs from others is that the menu is ingredient specific. Hence , it keeps changing everyday. So, either you can call up and ask them the menu for the day, or even better, pamper yourself with a blind date with some divine food.
To GroundUp (Rohan And Gayatri): In my 4 years in Pune, I have witnessed that for non-regular cuisine restaurants like yours, there is a gap between you and the customers in terms of familiarity with food.
Now , food lovers/food connoiseurs/ people open to experiment will always throng your place. But, if you want to reach the masses, you need to educate them about ingredients, techniques, your cuisine. You may apply several methods including videos/written posts on social media or maybe some better idea. But , having been to your place forged a connect with you, I seriously hope, entire Pune should know what GroundUp is all about.
To Restaurateurs and owners: You may call biased, but instead of resorting to theatrics like Molecular gastronomy which in my opinion is a visual treat, but not that wow in terms of taste.
One can always look up to GroundUp , get back to basics , experiment with various ingredients and techniques, and come up with rarely seen stuff which can appeal both to the eyes and taste buds.
With chilly winter evenings setting in Pune, a mug of hot chocolate is a must-have. From classic to various flavours, your hunt for some of the best Hot Chocolate in the town ends here.
Image Credits: Shilpy Bansal
The Blue Plate: If you love thick Hot Chocolates, then you must head to one of our Friends of PEO, The Blue Plate. A mug full of the rich hot chocolate here, topped with whipped cream is all that you need on chilly winter evenings. Where: No.3E, Seasons Rd, Sahil Park, Sanewadi, Aundh, Pune, Maharashtra 411007
Piatto Dessert Studio & Cafe: While Piatto’s name is on everyone’s lips for their amazing desserts, the hot chocolates here are something you shouldn’t miss. Right from the Orange to the Aztec Hot Chocolate, the hot chocolate here is milky, creamy and filled with the goodness of chocolate. Where: 5A, Hermes Waves, Kalyani Nagar, Pune, Maharashtra 411006
Midnight Kakery: Pune’s current favourite Hot Chocolate is the one at Midnight Kakery. This place offers some interesting flavours to choose from; Classic, Cinnamon Spice, Peppermint, Salted Caramel, Mocha as well as Hazelnut. Chocolate Lovers, do not miss their ‘Death by Chocolate’ Hot Chocolate made with fine Belgian chocolate. Where: Shop No.6, Sairang Apartments DP Road near Paranjape School Complex, Kothrud, Pune, Maharashtra 411038
300 grams of Butter to make 1 serving of Butter Chicken. It’s called swimming pool butter chicken. Available in Tales n Spirits Hunters Bistro Viman Nagar. No onion tomato gravy, it’s a butter gravy with cream and a dash of sour curd. #PEOTASTING
Cute little Rotis topped with Botis, Juicy to the core, I promise you won’t find it a bore. Hell, they even had small onion rings on top, made me feel rich.
Kachoris from UP went abroad and came back to TnS as East Indian Khasta Puff Pastry. Damn, the bhaiyyas would be proud.
Cantaloupe Melon Caprese Salad
Cantaloupe Melon Caprese Salad – Liked a Salad after a long time. The presentation was a 10/10.
Kandahari Malai Paneer Tikka had Paneer as soft as Hema Malini’s cheeks (as per what I’ve heard). Came on a live grill smoking it’s way to glory.
Also tasted the Mamma Mia Chicken, Roasted Cauliflower Leek and the Glazed Pork Ribs.I don’t eat pork but damn, the ribs were looking so appealing that I couldn’t resist having a bite and they were juicy, moist and had a sweetish tinge. #Baconbaba Rahul Majumdar would be proud.
Jhinga Mirch was slightly dry. Had a hit and kick of spice.
Mushroom Baklava Sizzler had a patty like a pastry that any chef would be proud of. Came with herbed rice. Perfect for this weather.
Purple Ombre
The Purple Ombre dessert had so many Colors and Textures that there was a spoonfight to see who can dig in more. The sizzling Nutella brownie came with all razzle, sizzle and ramble. The Ombre won the show though.
Tales N Spirits Viman Nagar has a huge outdoor seating, a relaxed Goan kind of vibe. It’s already made a name for itself in a short time and I see this place as the best addition to the Viman Nagar food scene where restaurants were aplenty but none with the vibe, ambience and feel of TnS.
…khrr.. (indistinct radio disturbance).. Cool breeze of this early winter night ruffles through my barely-existent hair. Helicopter blades whirring in the distance.. Men dressed in black suits and black goggles (- at night! You know they mean business when they’re ready to give up such a large chunk of one of their major senses). Me, dazed and confused, thinking I’ve come for a tasting, not really fathoming what’s happening. I’m more concerned about my dust allergy looking at all the dust being thrown up by the helicopters, which seem to be approaching uncomfortably close by the minute.
“In the Marvel Universe, that is called a Fan-os”, I hear from behind, I turn around and see, Amit Dharwadkar pointing up at the helicopter. (…khrr.. ‘what was that?’, I hear a strong voice inquire on the radio. One of the men in the black suits, with a bewildered expression on his black goggles, hissed “Ignore that, sir”.. …khrr..)
I hear laughter from around me, as I turned around and realised I’m surrounded by PEO-ple. I tried to say something or understand what’s happening, but suddenly, from the rising dust, a wild Aniruddha Patil appeared and said, “Comrades, I have a mission for you, should you choose to accept it”
(…tense upbeat action music..)
Suddenly, I hear Rohit Loya comes up behind me and says, “Sir, my new iPhone has so many lenses, I’m ready for anything.” His expression intensifies, as he whispers, ‘It even has x-ray vision, and face recognition’. There are multiple oooohs and aaahs.. Everyone cheers, as enthusiasm and anticipation swells!
(..khrr… ‘Bird’s on the ground’..)
We are swept away to a far off land. Still trying to make sense of it all. Slowly something comes into focus. A beautiful regal house in the middle of nowhere, with a stark blue pool, a huge wooden deck and grounds, as far as the eyes can see.
We are ushered onto the deck in front of the house as the radios chattered again, ….khrrr.. ‘Assets in position, I confirm, assets in position’. We were all befuddled and bamboozled by everything that was happening. Everyone was in intense discussion about where we were and what was it we were going to face. We were furiously trying to figure out strategies and plan of attack while also flabbergastedly taking in all of this magnificence! We just couldn’t take our mind off, of how beautiful and suspiciously “legendary”, the whole set up was.
Suddenly, the doors opened and we assumed ‘defence positions’, fork and knife in hand and waited in anticipation as a very royal, familiar and well loved figure stepped out, his entourage in tow!
“I am, Manu Gulati-en”, he exclaimed, “The Kaiser of Effin-Gut-berg, here to show you an Effin-Gut time. We have gone and doneth something awesome, like we always do’.
‘What all you good folk are summoned here-th, is to savour our new delicacies and spread the word – Effin-Gut-berg will have a new lease of life, great new eats and of course, the legendary ales and drink. So cometh, make merry to our humble abode, and have the Effin-best time of your life!”
We cheered and rejoiced as we gathered around and settled on the wonderfully appointed long-table. Glasses full of ales and wine, beautiful flowers and scrolls describing what our senses would be treated to. The new menus, with a special ‘PEO’ section as well as a whole page dedicated to succulent pork! Magnificent!
Dishes arrived one after the other, as we feasted, surrounded by friends, making merry and engaged in some stimulating conversation with the Kaiser himself. Hmmms and ummms, ooohs and aaahs. Flavours and ingredients with incredible twists!
———– THE FOOD! ————
We started off with the ‘Crispy Corn Jhol‘, a crispy spicy mingling of deep fried corn along with onion, tomato and spices! Like a bhel but with corn. (After reading ‘Jhol’ I was hoping for some mustard, and it would definitely have been a very different and wonderful combination.)
Bacon Swirls
Bacon Swirls – One of the new specialties from the ‘House of Pork’! Imagine 2 breakfast-y things, crashing into each other, from worlds as far away from each other as can be. But fusing to become something just unimaginably scrumptious. Imagine your humble ‘Cream Roll’ you had at the local tapri with cutting chai this morning, had, instead of cream, bacon! Imagine, it being so crispy and crumbly on the outside, like delicate expensive pastry, but with meaty, smoky, fatty bacon swirling up inside like a snake.
All this catapulted into the stratosphere by a dip that will blow your mittens off. Imagine a ‘Makhni Mayo‘! Creamy, savoury with the unmistakable flavour of chicken makhni! And not just any, but Effin-Gut-berg Chicken Makhni!
Something very different, then, fell into our laps. Potato Skins, deep fried to crispy perfection and garnished gracefully with salt and spices. All this to be dunked into the most blessed of concoctions – Wasabi Mayo! Creamy and delicious spiked with a noseful of the green Oriental hurt-y stuff. I would have loved it to hurt a bit more but that, turns out, seemed to be my personal issue.
Thai Devilled Eggs – Taking something as simple as eggs to a another level altogether. The yolk, creamy, with musings of mustard and spices from the Land of the Thai. Lemongrass, kaffir lime and chilly! Delicious affair, I must say.
Spicy Kheema Bunny Chow – Spicy, scintillating mutton kheema, residing within a crisp fluffy round loaf, all topped up with a heart warming and soulful curry, singing merrily with garam masala. One of the best dishes of the evening!
Pork Ribs in Classic BBQ Sauce
Pork Ribs in Classic BBQ Sauce was the epitome of porky goodness. Ribs from Belgium slow cooked to fall-off-the-bone perfection in a smokey, sweet, tangy and rich sauce! An absolute stunner of a dish, all for you to demolish your meaty cravings. I would have loved it to be a bit restrained on sweetness, though. But you also have many more sauces to choose from in that case!
Prawns Laksa – A generously flavoured Malay curry, exuding chilly, lemongrass, turmeric and shrimp, all wrapped up cozily by creamy coconut milk. Hit of spice and soothing to the throat, this curry does it all. I absolutely loved it! My favourite oriental curry, Effin-Gut-ified!
Sloppy Chicken Burger – Juicy pulled chicken, amazing tangy, spicy sauce between a pair of crisp butter toasted buns. One of the best chicken burgers I’ve had in eons!
Lemon Crusted Fish – A crisp crusty fish with tanginess from lemon, richness from parmesan cheese, served with green garlic pilaf or rice. Abso-fishing-lutely delectable.
Tiramisu
For dessert, we devoured a creamy sinful Tiramisu. The creamy and coffee flavours with the rich moist cake was excellent. I did miss the light airy texture of lady fingers, but this is an excellent tiramisu, for sure. Fit for a coffee addicted king!
Well, there it is. This has been a secret for long, but now you know! Kaiser Gulati-en has done it again. With the excellent grub and drink, I assure a long lasting, happy and peaceful kingdom. Long live Effin-Gut-berg!!
PS -I understand I went a bit overboard and I know many of you are really confused! But this is literally how we felt during this incredible event. The experience, the place, the food, all extraordinary. -No, we didn’t actually go by helicopters, nor were we surrounded by Eff-BI or anything, but sure felt that way. -There was a lot edited out, so I did save, whoever is still reading, from an even more unnecessarily long saga. Hope you enjoyed this slightly different take on this tasting. Kudos to the legend himself, Mr. Manu Gulati and the wonderful team who arranged such and exciting and enjoyable evening.

Let’s make 2020 most happening by having the best street food of Pune.
I was in search of the best chole bhature in town. I’ve tried Raju uncle which is the most famous in Pune for chole bhature but it’s not for a person like me. Next stop was Jogis chole bhature suggested by Vijay Jadhav and trust me whatever he recommends never disappoints.
So coming to the Jogi, the restaurant is at the end of khau galli and it’s hard to locate so go with google again as always. Simple open seating, everything was clean and hygienic.
Chole bhature (70/-) – Chole was the best ones I had in recent time. The masala was perfectly blended and gave a nice balanced flavor. The chole had medium thick gravy which is much needed for chole bhature. I don’t prefer watery gravy because it then become like rassa. The chole was cooked perfectly and the gravy complimented it very well. The bhature was huge and to my surprise wasn’t at all oily. Mostly we get oily bhature because of the way it’s made but the ones you get here are dry and fluffy to the core. The best combination for me.
Gulab Jamun (50/-) – Two big gulab jamun which is must after having chole bhature. Balanced sweetness and it really does the work.
So if you really into street food and can travel any distance for stuff like this then definitely visit this place. It won’t disappoint for sure.
