BarBerry — Restaurant in Pune

BarBerry

Barberry is located on the busy FC road. It is located on the first floor in the building and is easy to locate. They serve Finger Food, North Indian and Continental cuisines. The décor of the place is simple yet elegant and the seating is comfortable. There is a huge glass wall and seating alongside the same which gives you a roadside view. I was invited for food tasting at this restaurant.

Mocktails

Barberry Business: Banana, Rasberry, Milk, Cardamom, Sugar Syrup. It was nicely blended and was good in taste. I liked the addition of cardamom to this mocktail. #Recommended

Santa Banta: Guava juice, Imli Banta, Black Salt & Chat Masala. It was spicy and tangy was served in fancy bronze vessel with chilly powder over the edges of the same which complimented the guava flavoured drink. I loved this one. #Highlyrecommended

Soups

Creamy Broccoli -Almond & Mushroom Thyme : Both soups were served piping hot, and rich, creamy. Perfect on consistency level and were superb in taste. Mushroom thyme was thick in consistency while the creamy broccoli was not too thick. My personal favourite one was the Creamy Broccoli-Almond.

Salad

Smoked Chicken Salad: The salad had fresh lettuce, black olives, green olives, croutons and smoked chicken pieces and the dressing had lots of mayo bcos of which it became soggy and was not crunchy.

Starters

Crispy Stuffed Mushrooms: It had mushroom stuffed with finely chopped veggies with creamy sauce and was coated with bread crumbs and deep fried. It was crispy on outside and soft inside. It was medium spicy and good in taste. #Recommended

Paneer Tikka Lasooni: Paneer cubes marinated in garlic, green chilly and yogurt was excellent in taste. The paneer was soft and it was perfectly tandoored. It literally melted in my mouth. #Highlyrecommended

Chicken Pahadi Kebab: The dish had tender and juicy boneless chicken pieces done in mint and coriander based marinade and was covered with form. The chicken was perfectly cooked and was medium spicy.

Chicken Sholey Kebab: Bonless chicken pieces done in a bit spicy marinade and was mild on flavours. It was topped with egg omelette and was good in taste.

Paneer Tikka Naanza: The Naanza had generous amount of cheese with paneer tikka pieces along with onions, and was garnished with finely chopped coriander. It was medium spicy, nicely baked with crispy edges and the topping was spread evenly. It was truly delicious. #Highlyrecommended

Mains:

Thai Red Curry Chicken: The rich and creamy red curry was prepared with chicken broth and coconut milk along with spices and had a great depth of flavours. It was mild on spice levels. The curry went well along with steam rice. #Recommended

Chicken Kadhai: A popular north Indian recipe which was prepared with tender and juicy bonless chicken pieces in a thick and rich tomato based gravy and ground spices. It was topped with butter, the masala was nicely blended and was medium spicy in taste. It was served along with naan and steam rice.

All main course dishes at Barberry are served along with Roti, Steam Rice or both and are a complete meal in itself. The portion size is good for one or may be 2 average eating people and is priced reasonably.

Desserts:

Gulkand Cheese Cake: Exceptional! It was one of the best cheese cakes I have had. Perfect on sweetness level and the gulkand flavor was well balanced. It was soft and creamy. #Highlyrecommended.

Berrymisu: This was also a good option in desserts. The cake was soft and creamy and slightly sour due to the berries used in the same. It was finished in no time. #Recommended

I was really impressed with the desserts, both were brilliant but somehow gulkand cheese cake was the best pick for me.

Overall: Service was prompt, Restaurant was hygienic. The restaurant is located on busy FC road and seems like a good option to visit along with your friends. Rates are reasonable and the food quality is really good. Staff was polite and friendly.

Location: 1st Floor, Nandadeep Apartment, Above AU Small Finance Bank,...

Restaurant like Barberry was highly needed at this part of the city as it's always tedious to travel KP or Kalyani Nagar where most of such restos are available.

I was pretty excited to visit Barberry as I have heard lot of good things about it.

Visited Barberry on last Saturday night when they had live performance of "Sabali The Band"

It's easily tracable on FC road, with the facility of wallet car parking.

They have high chair seating as well as normal seating with the view of FC road. Sound proof environment just separates you from outside world.

We reached around 8:30 PM when crowd has just began to start and atmosphere was building up with live performance.

Now, let's have a look at food part.

We tried the following dishes.

Nachos with Salsa and liquid cheese : This is Mexican delicacy often served as a snack item. Corn nachos served with fresh salsa sprinkled with herbs and liquid Cheese(which I like a lot). Great starter to begin food journey till the time drinks arrive.

‎Barbecue Chicken Wings : Whenever and wherever I see it on the menu I couldn't resist it as I love them like anything. Especially when they are served in bbq sauce. Absolutely fleshy and big size chicken wings with the hint of burnt bbq flavor and greased with BBQ sauce. Polished off plate quickly. #Recommended

‎Saute Chicken Chettinad : Chettinad is a region in Tamil Nadu. Their Chicken in Chettinad style is world famous. So far I have eaten it's gravy version but I was amazed to have it's Sauté version. Perfectly blended spices like red chilli, poppy seeds, shredded coconut and curry leaves were absorbed by it. On the top, it was served with creamy coconut milk which was divine.

It should have been little more Spicy. But overall it was best dish of the evening. #HighlyRecommended

‎Hummus with Pita Pockets : It was good in taste. Nothing so special about it. They just missed topping olive oil over it.

‎Biryani style cooked rice with Prawns : We ended our maincourse with prawns Biryani rice. Prawns were fleshy, juicy and we'll marinated. Portion was enough for 2 pax. It served along with raita.

Over all it was highly satisfactory experience for me. When we visited it was full house, still I could see serves were very swift in serving every table. Owner pays personal attention at every table and also suggests the dishes.

Potent and innovative cocktails, delicious food, cozy seating and classy crowd makes this place worth visiting.

All the best team Barberry for...

A newbie on FC road is an awesome place for hanging out friends or family. Thee ambience is calm, colorful and lovely. The service is quick, the manager, owner and the folks are friendly and nice.
