Recently I was invited here for a tasting and given below is the list of some amazing dishes that I got to try my hands on:-

TEA:- Welcome Drink was literally chai, Although I don't have tea but I could see it on the faces of Chai Lovers, what could be better than A Cuppa Tea?

TEA

STARTERS:-

Paneer Banjara Tikka (240 NR):- Paneer Banjara Tikka is a North Indian recipe which is made using paneer and curd. A colourful platter dishes out different yet simple flavours to fall in love with but it's Veg so Meh!

Paneer Banjara Tikka (240 NR)

Paneer 65 (190 INR):- I have always believed that If you are a "paneer makes me crazy" person you would like to enjoy it with your favourite cocktails or mocktails and can call yourself a party animal but we all know the truth. Anyhoo, While this one reminded me of every other paneer 65 I had at the people's party who call themselves...} but the coating was a little bit more crunchy and could save the deal for me.

Paneer 65 (190 INR)

Lemon Chicken (220 INR):- As soon as a fellow blogger took the first bite of the dish, she told me that can't recognize the presence of lemon, and I could also agree with the same that the flavour of butter and garlic was overpowering the presence of the lemon but for some reasons that worked out for my taste and that's something I can;t deny.

Lemon Chicken (220 INR)

Chicken Achaari (250 INR):- This was was one of the best from the lot we are talking about and this was totally dope in terms of the presence of pickling spices and you could feel that with the every bite, You couldn't just ignore the marination I would say.

Chicken Achaari (250 INR)

Chicken Angara Tikka (280 INR):- Secret of a chicken recipe lies in its marination. Boneless chunks of chicken marinated in chilli flakes, garlic, yoghurt chargrilled to perfection, as beautiful as it looked the well marinated this one was.

MAINS:-

Veg Toofani (180 INR):- A well cooked veg recipe was a deal breaker for the veg people table and I must say it was well cooked indeed but Veg and always Bleh!

Veg Toofani (180 INR)

Daal Makhani (190 INR):- This one was on fire you guys, A total attention seeker, As yummy as it tasted, It has my eyes on fire, I mean the fire they had on the daal.

Daal Tadka (140 INR):- Daal Tadka is one of my specialties too, and I mean cooking and not eating when I say that. But maybe that has led me to raising my bars of expectations from wherever I wish t have it. And I must say that I like it a little bit more on the spicy side, and This one that I had at at PACINO was totally at the spicy side.

Daal Tadka (140 INR)

Butter Chicken Dry (230 INR):- Who doesn't like Butter Chicken? If I would've answered this question an year ago, @freakyfoodiepune would've beaten me to death. But that's a perk of friendship or blogging or let's say a blogger friend that you start liking the same things before you even know about it just like the butter chicken at PACINO's. However, some of you who like Butter chicken just for the yumilicious gravy, don't be sad I'm sure you're not gonna miss it that much.

Butter Chicken Dry (230 INR)

Bread Basket (320 INR):- This is a complete assortment of different styles of bread and is perfectly what you need to be choosy around your preferences or to have a variety of tastes to experience a satisfactory meal.

Bread Basket (320 INR)

Triple Schezwan Rice (230 INR):- Well, I don't have my way with noodles yet, Yes its true it contributes a major part of diet plan and for those of you who's laughing and yes I have a diet plan and I follow it too but I'm still learning to break the habits that 2 min Maggie has put in our lives. So, While this Schezwan fried rice had a proportion of noodles, I was just happy that only rice could reach my plate lol.

While Food is a thing I can't stop considering the fact this is a giant addition to Pune's food scene to celebrate a party, birthday, or maybe even to take your family, a college gang, or a whole bunch of teammates or colleagues.
