Reading Gaurav’s post on Tekdi brought back lots of pleasant memories!
I was there in Pune for 2 1/2 years. But it was like a life time
Its a very small city, but a wonderful place for bachelors. The cost of living is very less. And its so green. Some of my favorite haunting spots in Pune
Will cover from north to south
River View Restaurant beyond Osho Ashram (Very peaceful)
ABC Farmhouse (Best place to take someone special)
Kalyani Bakery near MG Road (Shrewsberry biscuits)
Inox (1st Multiplex in Pune)
Sizzlers at Zamu’s,Dole Patil road (If am not wrong I have seen a sizzler called as drunken chicken. he he)
Just Baked, Dole Patil Road
Joshi vada Pav near the Pune Corporation (Very tasty vada pav)
Pizza hut at JM Road (Its kinda mini pub. Loads of fun)
Subhadra hotel(Very simple but tasty maharashtrian food)
Dosa Diner at Deccan (Dosa with paneer and all. But bit on the expensive side)
Pune Coffee House at Deccan Gymkhana (The cheese sandwich)
How can I not mention Rupali and Vaishali?
I forgot this place name. The junction of FC Road and Bhandarkar road. There is a very famous and old hotel. People used to say that was the favorite dating spot for NRN and Sudha
There is a restaurant in law college road right next to the HDFC Bank and bang opposite law college road. Again forgot this place name
Darshini at Paud Road (Decent south Indian food)
Shabari at Dahanugar colony Kothrud. (I stayed very close to this place. The fruit salad you get here is delicious)
Garden Court (Near Chandni Chowk). A real garden restaurant atop the hill. In the evenings, it is wonderful. You can see the entire Pune city filled with lights. If you are planning to visit Pune do visit Garden Court.
Oasis(This is beyond garden court. Place is good. But lots of mosquitoes)
Banjara Hills (Here they serve curd in that clay pot. And the Dal fry was very good too)
Ambrosia (The ambience here is wonderful. Its on the way to mulshi. But the food is not that good)
Apart from this, so many road side hotels where you get this misal pav, kachchi dabeli and all
I like misal pav a lot, and havent found any place in bangalore which serves misal pav
Miss you pune ![]()

The NRN-Sudha place is Goodluck.
The HDFC-Law college place is Rangoli.
Dosa Diner is gone now.
Btw its not Kalyani tis Kayani and btw Inox wasnt the first multiplex. There was this place called city pride on Satara road.
