BANYAN KITCHEN — Restaurant in Pune

🌟 Banyan Kitchen (बन्यन किचन) – Honest Review 🌟 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4.2/5)

📍 Location & Ambience: Tucked away in a peaceful spot, Banyan Kitchen offers a serene, semi-rustic vibe with a touch of elegance. The outdoor seating under the shade of a large banyan tree truly lives up to the name. Perfect for both family dinners and casual hangouts. Cleanliness is well-maintained, and the decor has a subtle traditional charm.

🍽️ Food Quality & Taste:

The food is flavorful and prepared with noticeable attention to detail.

I tried their Paneer Tikka and Butter Chicken – both were rich, well-marinated, and cooked to perfection.

Roti and naan were fresh and soft.

Veg options are just as good as the non-veg – their Dal Tadka and Veg Kolhapuri stood out.

Portions are decent and satisfying.

👨‍🍳 Service: Staff is courteous, prompt, and attentive without being intrusive. They were happy to customize spice levels and made great menu suggestions. Service time was around 15–20 minutes, which is reasonable.

💸 Pricing: Slightly on the premium side, but worth the experience. Average ₹300–₹500 per person depending on the order. Value-for-money given the ambience and quality.

🚗 Parking & Accessibility: Ample parking space. Easily accessible via main roads. Family-friendly location.

✅ Pros: ✔ Great ambience under the banyan tree ✔ Delicious, well-balanced food ✔ Clean and hygienic ✔ Polite staff

❌ Cons: ✘ Limited dessert options ✘ Gets a bit crowded on weekends – advance reservation recommended

📌 Final Verdict: Banyan Kitchen delivers more than just food – it offers a calm, memorable dining experience with a focus on quality and comfort. Ideal for a peaceful dinner out or a special occasion. Definitely a spot worth...

This restaurant is a must visit when you're close to Pune junction and should never miss it! I ordered a combo meal through the food on track app on the way from Chennai to Mumbai on train. The way they served the meal on my seat was so sweet and i was amazed. The packaging was good, they brought the food in a nice quality jute bag (without extra cost), and the quantity was great (even sufficient for 2 people!). There was also a small box written "surprise" on top which had a piece of gulab jamun! That was sweet man! I admire the efforts of the people to please the customer even though we're train passengers who may not visit them frequently! Moreover the taste was simply delicious. And there was a small packet which had a napkin, packet of salt and toothpick and also a small packet of sanitizer! Mark my words, please don't miss ordering from this restaurant, u won't be disappointed for sure! I'm ordering during my return trip from Mumbai to Chennai...

Wow really confused from where to start. Let's start with food. Amazing awesome no other words to describe it. we ordered chicken korma which was amazing finger lacking good. Thing we ordered was chicken Biryani which was also awesome. good quality rice used so was the chicken. good size pieces were there.everything was perfect.about packaging both dishes were packed properly as the pricing is quite low so was little sceptical about the packaging material but even no point to finger at. Again there was a bottle of water along with the food which we didn't order. 3 sachets of hand sanitizer,tooth picks pickle all were up to the mark. means I order food from many places but this1 was wow in every factor. Also the food was packed as per their instructions given in menu. They were keeping me informed about the delivery status all this & the pricing is like nothing for that tasty food. I dont think ill ever order Indian food from any other...
