Must try food recommendations!
I’m trying to curate a list of must have dishes/foods from specific places in Pune and I’d love to get others’ recommendations. Let me start with mine: Veg chutney sandwich - Marzorin, Camp Sev Batata Dhai Puri - Vaishali, FC Road Pav Bhaji- Kirti Juice Center, FC Road (yeah I know others might say Supreme but I grew up on this pav bhaji & their garlic chutney and veg pulao makes is like none other) Parsi style Chicken Biryani - Blue Nile, opposite Poona Club (I find Dorabjee’s a little too bland) Wada Pav- JJ garden, Camp Veg Pattice - Santosh Bakery, Apte Road Kulfi - Mohan Ice Cream, JM road (usually used to be found in oldest part of the city - my mom remembers eating it in leaf bowls!) Lassi - Shiv Kailash dairy, opposite railway station Uppit- IMDR canteen Zereshk Polo - Shisha Cafe (yes, I know they moved from KP) Top hats - Malika Spice, KP (the OG) Chicken Lollipop - Chinese Room, Camp Garlic Mushrooms - Zamus (controversial opinion - I prefer Zamus to the Place - the latter becomes a smokey den after too many sizzlers come out of the kitchen) mostly it’s for their garlic mayo dip - the mushrooms are just a carrier. :-) Kati roll - Kapila Kati Kebab Black Forest cake - Bakers Basket (but I think it is not like how it used to taste in my childhood - my ajji would occasionally get me a slice when she got her monthly pension and I would enjoy it sitting on our verandah) Chanya manya bore- gaavat ;) used to be 2 rupees for one cone - eating them and throwing the seeds at passerby’s from my grandparents apartment balcony was the height of being vaatrat. Okay, now I’m just getting nostalgic. 🥹 Bonus points for anyone who can recommend a good place for sabudana khichidi, pohe, and misal that doesn’t make you question your life decisions when you sit on the toilet the next day. I’m also hoping someone will throw in some good tandoor and chicken biryani recommendations. Thanks in advance for your recommendations fam!2
