Food and drinks- To start with we had a pour out of Mocktails and cocktails all tasting different and amzing. (Pics Below) I had a molecular Drink called - Great Gatsby - Vodka blended with Honeydew, apple infused tea, Orange and Kafir lime smoke. This looked amazing (Check the pic) with white smoke pouring and tasted awesome too. Do hav this wen ur around.

#The TurkishTandooriWings -This tasted different from the regular tandoori that I've had, very juicy tender in a yogurt based marinade and served with the same marinade too.

Salli Boti - Cooked and served in a different style again. Squeesed up quantity. Lamb cooked in a fragnant thick masala having strong flavours of cloves, ginger and garlic. Spicy to the accurate level of taste. I would go back to fulfill my craving of this dish.Undoubtly a *HotSeller.

Wild Mushroom on Khari toast - Champagne saute soft and creamy mushrooms sandwiched between our traditional ol khari was a great combination of soft and crisp textures.

Rava Bombil - I was glad to see this on the menu as its a rare entity and you find it only in seafood joints. Crispy Rava fried Bombil in spicy green masala was a killer. The best thing abt this item was the raw mango chutney served along with it that tasted great with the fishy Bombil taste. Again a brilliant combination.

Kheema Pav Skillet with Cheese Fondue - Awesome presentation and mind-blowing taste. Five stars to this one. Juicy mutton kheema topped with generous amounts of cheese was a pleasure to the palate. #HighlyReccomended for hardcoreNovegs

Malvani Prawns - Another feather in the hat, loved this Baraza style Malvani gravy. No dnt expect this to be authentic. In thier own style they hav created a delicious creamy gravy with a strong flavour of curry leaves. #Musthav

Mushroom Risotto -This was One of the best Risotto I've had. Premium quality and texture. The mild creamy Taste is very soothing in taste.

Chicken Khurchan - had a strong flavour of Capsicum and was a good contrast gravy. Shredded Chicken maintained the scrapped khurchan feel.Served with butter Roti it made up for a superb choice in Mains

For deserts we tasted - The Nutella Creme Brulee with Pistachio and almond biscotti, The Blueberry cheesecake with fresh fruit compote and The Hazelnut Mousse with homemade vanilla Ice-cream and honeycomb crumble - All of them very well presented and tasted equally delicious. My favourite was the Hazelnut mousse.

Overall a Superb tasting, was introduced to amazing combinations and great Company over some great drinks, had a rocking time here enjoying the atmosphere, service and exemplary food with some awesome music. Cheers team Baraza for bieng an...

Baraza Bars & Bites!

Baraza is located in Creaticity mall in yerwada and serves North Indian, Asian and Finger food. The décor of this place is simple and elegant. They have multiple seating arrangements like alfresco, indoor, and bar area, the seating closed to street lights in the outdoor area impressed me a lot and is something which I had never seen. We were seated in the indoor area which was comfortable. The restaurant has a good seating capacity of around 220 pax and the space planning of this place is nicely done and doesn’t feel congested. I visited this place for #foodtasting

Mocktails

Soul Burner: Kokum, Chilly, Cilantro, Lime, this was one of the best mocktails that I have tasted, the kokum, lime and green chilly punch was perfectly balanced and was truly refreshing #Musthave

Basil & Ginger Fizz: Muddied Basil, Ginger, Lime with Fizz, it had grated ginger and muddied basil; I felt that it had excessive amount of crushed ice which diluted the punch of the drink.

Starters

Rawa Bombil [Rs 290]: Bombil a.k.a Bombay duck was coated in a green masala and rawa and then deep fired was brilliantly done, it was cripy on the outside and was not oily, it went well along with a raw mango dip which had a sweet and tangy taste. #Highlyrecommended

Turkish Tandoori Wings [Rs 290]: It was a chicken tandoori lollypop done in mild spices was well cooked and was good in taste, it was served along with a thin yogurt and coriander based dip which was also nicely done. #Recommended

Malwani Prawns [Rs 395]: Medium sized prawns prepared in a malvani masala was not prepared in a traditional way, but in their own version with a creamy gravy having spices and curry leaf, it was good in taste, it was served along with buttered garlic pav, I was really impressed with the pav quality which was in house prepared and was soft and fresh. #Recommended

Veg Shanghai Dumplings [Rs 220]: A veg dumpling which really impressed me a lot, it had thin coating and was stuffed with mixture of chives, sweet corn and broccoli and herbs was superb in taste, it was served along with a sweet spicy soy and garlic based dipping sauce which was full of flavors. #Highlyrecommended

Misal Fondue [Rs 220]: Misal in a buttered brioche bread & goat cheese fondue didn’t impress me, I love to have misal in the most simple form and don’t prefer to alter the recipe by adding cheese to it, the misal stuffed in the bread tasted like a sprouts bhaji to me and was lacking flavors and spices, however the brioche bread was nicely done, it was crispy on the outside and was dense in texture. #Disappointed

Mains

Chicken Khurchan [Rs 360]: The dish had boneless chicken pieces pan fried along with onion rings, capsicum, tomatoes, spices and mustard seeds and was superb in taste, it has slit green chilies which made it a bit spicy than the usual and the thick gravy was aromatic. It went well along with butter roti. #Highlyrecommended

Desserts

Hazelnut Mousse [Rs 245]: Hazelnut mousse was served along with vanilla ice cream and was truly heavenly. The mousse had small pieces of crispy hazelnuts in between the layers and was creamy, light and rich in taste. #Highlyrecommended

Nutella Brulee [Rs 225]: The Nutella brulee was rich, creamy, perfect on sweetness level and was excellent in taste, it was paired up with a crunchy toast with dry fruits which was good but I think that the brulee tasted well without it as well. #Highlyrecommended

Overall: Service was prompt and restaurant was hygienic, Staff was polite and courteous, Special thanks to Mr Victor who was taking care of our table and he made sure we had a memorable evening. Thanks to Sasha Anand for extending the invite and hosting us.

Location: Unit No 10, Pubtown, Creaticity Mall, Shashtrinagar,...

Baraza Bars & Bites at Ishanya Mall, I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish!

The warm lighting, spacious seating, and artistic decor create a cozy yet vibrant vibe, making it an ideal spot for casual outings, date nights, or even group gatherings. They also have an outdoor seating area that adds to the charm, especially in the evenings.

Food & Drinks The menu is diverse with a mix of Indian, Continental, and fusion dishes that cater to all taste buds. Some of the standout dishes we tried were: Chicken Ghee Roast – Absolutely flavorful with the right balance of spices. Peri Peri Prawns – Juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Truffle Fries – Crispy and addictive, a perfect bar snack. Paneer Tikka – Soft, well-marinated, and grilled to perfection. Pasta-

For drinks, their cocktail selection is fantastic! The Baraza Special Cocktails are a must-try. I highly recommend the Whiskey Sour and the Baraza Special Sangria – both were perfectly mixed with the right balance of flavors.

Service The staff was extremely courteous, well-trained, and prompt with their service. Despite the place being crowded, our orders arrived quickly and were served with a smile. The bartenders were also very skilled and happy to customize drinks based on preferences.

Music & Vibes The music playlist was a perfect mix of commercial, retro, and lounge music, setting a great mood. They also have live music and DJ nights on select days, adding to the overall lively ambiance.

Pricing The prices are on the higher side, but considering the quality, portion sizes, ambiance, and overall experience, it’s worth every penny.

Overall Experience Baraza Bars & Bites is one of the best places in Pune for a great evening with friends or a relaxed dinner with good music, food, and drinks. Highly...
