SG,
Nice post!!
Long list of places to eat out on my weekends in Pune.

Hopefully, you will do a round-up of places to enjoy a drink at :)

@Aarti: Yes, have tried both hotels. I have reviewed the Japanese and terrace-top Indian restaurants in O Hotel some time back. As for Sayaji, I tried their lunch buffet today; will post on that soon.

Glad you have come back to food blogs in Pune..it was much awaited...Btw have you tried out O hotel as well as sayaji? and is the food there good?

@Harekrishnaji: Hmm, surprised about Sigree. However, I usually avoid these 'special days' for dining out. The restaurants are usually over-crowded and the experience invariably underwhelms.

Yesterday we went to Cream Centre in Ferns. We stay near Cream Centre, Chowpatty and I have been going there since childhood. The Icecreams served in my wedding, my and my son's thread ceremony were from Cream Centre.

It's a good place but nowadays I feel it too costly . We end up spending almost Rs.1200 for snacks and little here and there which wasn't worth. Buffet in Cafe Momo would have been hundread times better.

Actually I wanted to go to any other place as suggested by you in the blog after watching Avatar.
(houseful no movie either )

But I was so hungry my brain stopped receiving signals and I couldn't remember a single name except Mainland China and Sigree.

In Mainland China the waiting period was unbearable , so we decided to go to Sigree. I was little nervous one we went inside, I think their downfall has started. It was almost empty on Christmas day, the staff wasn't looking decent, with dirty cloths and the atmosphere was disappointing. We walked out. Then my son suggested Cream Centre.

@Sharmila: Thank you. Yes, Rahul does have some great stuff outside of seafood. It is safer to stick to the waiter's recommendation though (rather than pick from the menu).

@Nisha: Thank you!

@Lakshmi: Let me know in advance if you do visit Pune.

@kyh: I have to agree with that. India can be a foodie paradise for vegetarians (and also those with special dietary restrictions).

@Ashish: Thank you! I am honored. :)

@GMG: Hi, my friend. Good to see you back here. I guess some much-needed rest is necessary after all the travel you have been doing!

2009-12-24T19:50:11.014+05:30

@Chica: Thank you! I will try to be more regular with the local updates. :)

@Prats: Curious to know how you liked the Cafe.

@G: Rahul's a good choice for seafood in Aundh. However, lately seafood lovers seem to flock to Nisarg in Karve Road, Kothrud (Phone 25442921).

2009-12-19T22:07:50.161+05:30

One of the reasons I so want to visit India besides its rich cultural offerings is the availability of vegetarian food. Since I love curries and Indian cuisine, I think I'll have no problem fitting in the local food culture! :)

Am glad too that so many new places have come up in Pune ... the oldies were getting boring. :-)
I liked a particular naan at Rahul ... kind of sweetish and stuffed with dry fruits. Just wanted to know ... where is that full meal (thali) snap from? Much thanks for this update. :-)

2009-12-18T14:43:18.688+05:30

This is a nice consolidated update on Pune joints. In spite of staying in Aundh for so long, we never went to Rahul, which is quite surprising. We ended up doing take-aways from Tareef and occasional dinner at Sarja's. Now Rahul and Maroo is on the top of the list. Thanks, nice initiative this.
