Ice and fire Sky Lounge
One of the best rooftop places in West pune on the main highway.
Best pick for a romantic date under open skies, dazzling lights and an airy atmosphere with an amazing view. This place also has a modern bar that is quite intagramable.There is also a lounge on the other side for all party lovers so one gets best of both the worlds - thus the name Ice and Fire. Location - Pune Bangalore highway, Baner( besides Renault Showroom)
Food - The spread us more of finger food and a good mix of thai continental and Indian food. But I enjoyed the mains more than the starters.
Drinks - cocktails and mocktails are worth trying here with a lot new stuff on their menu. I tried 2 of their mocktails - The #Frozen_Rita - A completely refreshing drink with the flavours of kiwi and curry leaves. Loved it❤️
Our of all the things we tried below are my fav picks -
Black pepper Mushroom - Quite decent option for vegetarians apart from the regular paneer items. Stir fried mushrooms with generously spread black pepper and garlic. Simple yet appealing.
Paneer Shashlik - Another amazing veg item that was plated beautifully in skewers. Paneer was cooked well and tasted amazing too. Slightly spicy, not overdone with unnecessary spices. #DoTry
In Nonvegtrn starters I liked almost all of them . The fish fingers served were really good.
The spicy chicken drumstick had a thick coating but it was presented really well .
Char grilled chicken was amazing too. but the best of all was their - Prawn tandoori - served in tequila glass this was made perfectly and served with a green chutney. Outstanding appetizer.
In mains I tried nonveg only and loved thier - Chicken Chettinad - Spicy fiery red hot chicken curry was made beautifully with top notes of curry leaves and gundu chillies. A must have here.
Grilled chicken steak - The showstopper item of the evening and a must have at ice and fire. Perfectly grilled juciy chicken served with garlic sauce,cream, veggies and spaghetti on the side. #HighlyRecommended
Overall had a beautiful experience amidst the starlit ambience, some great music and some...
Read moreIce and Fire Lounge and Retro Bar is a disappointing establishment that I would not recommend for a night out with friends. The overall experience and ambiance of the place are far from desirable, leaving much to be desired.
From the moment you step inside, it becomes apparent that this place falls short in creating a vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere. The overall vibe is lackluster and fails to create the desired excitement or energy that one would expect from a lounge and retro bar. It feels more like a place that caters to individuals with limited income who wish to experience a taste of the business class lifestyle. However, this illusion quickly fades as you realize that the ambiance and everything about the place are simply not up to par.
The ambiance, in particular, lacks the sophistication and charm that one would expect from a lounge and retro bar. Instead of feeling enticed to socialize and have a good time, the surroundings make you question whether it would be more enjoyable to stay at home. The overall atmosphere fails to create an enticing or inviting environment for a night out with friends.
Considering the disappointing experience and lackluster ambiance, I would advise exploring alternative options when it comes to choosing a place for socializing with friends. There are certainly better establishments in the area that offer a more enjoyable and vibrant experience.
In conclusion, Ice and Fire Lounge and Retro Bar is a place that falls short in delivering an appealing ambiance and enjoyable experience. It may attract those looking for a taste of the business class lifestyle on a limited budget, but the illusion quickly fades as you realize the overall quality and atmosphere do not live up to expectations. It would be wise to consider other options that provide a more vibrant and engaging setting for a night out...
Read morePlease please please do not go to this lounge for Sunday brunch.I went their with my fiancé on Valentine day and was really disappointed with my decision.Firstly we had booked a table by calling the restaurant and I have asked them to decorate the table.They said that they will decorate the table without any charges as it is Valentine day.But when we have reached there the table was not decorated and when we have asked them they said that there will be charges for table decoration.Here there is not brunch buffet ,they will give the brunch menu and will have to order from that menu which was horrible .Also waiters are not at all aware of the brunch menu ,they showed some different menu at the start and when we have ordered then after 15 min they said sorry we have shown wrong menu to you.Then they have given the correct menu and we had ordered the food . The food was tasteless and was very cold. The waiters were also not aware of the drinks which were included in the brunch menu which was pathetic. Also from the brunch menu we had ordered Chicken fried rice in schezwan sauce .But they have given us normal fried rice and we have been told that fried rice in schezwan sauce is not available.Then in the dessert menu brownie and red velvet pastry was written which we had ordered . Our order has been taken and after 15 min we have been told that brownie and red velvet pastry is not available .It was so disgusting that half of the dishes are not available .They will simply take the order and after some time they will come and tell that it’s not available ,if the dish is not available then why the hell it is mentioned in the brunch menu?Really really disappointed with service and food .This lounge has the worst food and service in Pune .It has spoiled my Valentine .It’s a request to all that please go to some other place for brunch but...
