Rhythm Rooftop Bar and Kitchen — Restaurant in Maharashtra

Undoubtedly One of the Best Rooftop restaurants in town! Located in Pimple Saudagar Was definitely worth the visit Was even better than what we had expected having been to many rooftop restaurant recently On Arriving we were greeted by Miss Cherry who was very courteous

It’s an 8 storied building so the Rooftop view of the city Skyline is truly Spectacular. There’s a separate entrance and a lift for this restaurant. There’s a Huge parking space just before the restaurant building which is very convenient. We went there around Sunset since it wouldn’t be crowded and to avoid the traffic and trust me that’s the best time to visit. The Sunset View is out of the world. Post clicking some pictures and enjoying the view we ordered a few drinks made by the Stylish Mixologist Mr Prathamesh . Drinks were Refreshing and delicious.

After Sunset the Cool Breeze , the lighting , the Fountain in the background and some soothing music ( Bose speakers) sets the Perfect Mood. We ordered a few starters which were Lip smacking. The biggest Prawns I’ve seen in Pune, unique marinades, definitely a must try. After 8 pm it starts getting crowded ( even though it was a weekday) and why not since it is a place everyone would love to visit .

The Main course was great too and quantities are very good Dishes are different from the regular ones you find everywhere Menu is Elaborate If That wasn’t enough we still had to try the desserts , and was totally worth reserving some space in our tummy for it .

Chef Jaswant personally visited our table and was nice talking to him They have covered areas too for daytime The Bar is designed very well with a white tent shaped Canopy and offers a Spectacular view from the opposite side

Perfect setting whether for a date , a family outing or get together with friends.

Keep calm and listen to the Rhythm of my voice.... my voice... the Rhythm! I was reminded of this 90s pop song when I visited Rhythm Roof Top Resto and Bar.

Perched on the rooftop of a High Rise in Pimple Saudagar, this diner is the talk of the town now.

They have a direct access lift to the rooftop which is really cool. Once you enter it is a mermerising Kaleidoscope of decor and lights! Pillared canopies adorn most of the sitting area and a half moon canopy on towards the starboard side overlooking the Cocktail Lounge Bar. Lamp posts are interspersed all around lighting up the area and your spirits as well.

Tried two Cocktails -

The Pink Lady- Yeah... I tried to discover my feminine side by ordering it! Just kidding! It was for my wife- as per her it is fuschia in colour- some pink variant only women would recognize. Phew! Whatever it is as per her it was damn good.

House special Cocktail named Forbidden Apple- probably a reference the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden in the Genesis Chapter of the Bible. It had flavours of coffee, notes of spice and a hint of whiskey garnished with spices of green, red and golden apples. One of the finest cocktails I've had. Very very strongly recommended.

Also tried a spiced thai shrimp soup which is kind of a combination of Tom Kha and Tom Yum. Lovely, light creaminess of coconut milk, infused nicely with galangal and lemon grass.

Vodka Flambe' Prawns- Plated in a frying pan and torched with spirits by adding Vodka; it is a feast for the eyes. The shrimps are large sized and very flavourful with garlic chips and condiments. Must try here!

Shrimp Ceviche- ceviche is a a South American dish of marinaded raw fish or seafood. This one is a Peruvian variant of it inspired by lime juice, onion peppers, mango diced and lettuce. There are many arguments on the origin of this dish but food historians attribute it to the Incas! Of you like Sushi you'll definitely love this.

Another dish which was spot on was the Kerala Pepper Chicken- as good as the ones dished out by ethnic Kerala eateries in Pune like Maaveli Kr. The spices of malabar transport you to the coastal regions of this seafaring state- strikingly remarkable dish.

Pan Ice-cream- very very ethnic flavours of benarasi sweet pan, full of dry fruits- nicely presented with a betel leaf to garnish.

Rabdi Mousse- this is a delicious mousse made if rabdi and flavoured with rose syrup and kevda. Very thick, luscious and creamy.

Mermerising and haunting Indian pop and Bollywood numbers were played by a live band which had a soothing effect on the already balmy air.

Special thanx to Sachin Rai, the steward who...

I recently visited Rhythm Restaurant in Pimple Saudagar and ordered the Paneer Tikka Schezwan Fried Rice along with Soya Chaap as a starter. Here's my detailed review of the experience:

Food:

The Paneer Tikka Schezwan Fried Rice was excellent. The flavors were well-balanced, and the paneer was cooked just right, retaining its softness while being flavorful from the marinade. The Schezwan sauce added the right amount of spice without overpowering the dish. It was a satisfying and enjoyable meal.

On the other hand, the Soya Chaap as a starter was a bit underwhelming. The texture wasn't as good as expected, and it lacked the flavorful punch I was hoping for. It could definitely use some improvement.

Service:

The service at Rhythm was commendable. The staff was attentive and ensured that we had everything we needed without being overbearing. They were polite and quick to respond, which added to the overall dining experience.

Ambiance:

The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance, providing a comfortable setting for a meal with family or friends. The atmosphere is casual yet welcoming, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable.

Parking:

One slight downside was the parking situation. The restaurant has limited parking space, and it can be a bit of a hassle, especially during peak hours. If you're planning a visit, you might want to consider this in advance.

Overall:

Despite the minor issue with the Soya Chaap and the parking, the overall experience at Rhythm was good. The Paneer Tikka Schezwan Fried Rice was a highlight, and the friendly staff made the visit enjoyable. It's a great spot for a casual meal if you're in the Pimple Saudagar area.

Would recommend trying it out, but you might want to skip the Soya Chaap if you're looking for a more...
