One of a Kynd pure veg cafe in Pune! As soon as you enter the place you will fall in love with it. Kynd is owned by a famous designer and the artistic interiors shout the same. The interiors consist of many plants, beautiful glasswork, amazing artworks, and a huge Giraffe. The cafe is pretty big with spacious seating, the entire place smoking friendly also it has a huge fully stocked bar. The service is pretty quick, the entire staff well trained and they will make sure you have a worry-free experience. Let's talk about Drinks and Food now. We tried following cocktails Copper Monkey (Whiskey, coffee liqueur, bitters, orange twist, and smoked hickory wood) The Comfort Of Kynd ( Vodka, fresh passion fruit, and pomegranate, lime juice, bitters, sugar ) Galactic G&T ( Gin, elderflowers liqueur, tonic water, blueberries) All these are their signature cocktails, all were super delicious and nicely potent. The bartenders know their job and they are really good at it. My personal favorite was Copper Monkey & Galactic Gin perfect blend of fine Whiskey with coffee and orange worked beautifully, their G&T with blueberries was very refreshing and yummy. In food they have European and Oriental cuisine, we had the following entree, Five Spiced Potato Skin (Oriental) Perfectly crisp potato shavings flavored smoked pepper sauce and garlic aioli. This was a very delicious and spice-packed dish, not spicy but well-balanced dish. Bok Choy Dimsum (Oriental) I'm a big fan of Bok Choy, it's very delicious and contains lovely flavors. These Dimsums had a very thin outer layer which did not overpower the filling flavors. Loved them! European Themed Mushroom Broccoli Dimsum (Oriental) A really delicious combination of Mushrooms and Broccoli packed inside a thin Dimsum sheet and steamed to perfection. If you like Shrooms and Greens then you should try this one. French Colonial (European) It's an assorted Bruschetta platter with 3 varieties consisting Mango + Avocado, Tomatoes + Basil + Cheese, and Creamy Warm Mushroom. All three toppings are really delicious and the best part is their bread is made in-house. This was something really good and different, you get to try a variety in one plate. If you are a bruschetta lover like me then this is one is for you. My personal favorite was the creamy warm mushroom one.
In the mains, we tried Jalapeno Risotto (European) Mic Goreng (Oriental) In my life for the first time, I heard and had a spicy Risotto. Jalapeno flavors were just beautiful, the tangy and spicy taste was blending very nicely and the overall taste was enhanced. The creamy texture and delicious taste made the dish just perfect. Mic Goreng once again is a new dish for me. This Indonesian fried rice was flooding with flavors. I like spicy oriental food and this one was just hit the right spot. I wouldn't call it very spicy but a balanced spicy dish. My friend who was dining with me found it very spicy so if you are not a spice lover then think once before trying.
Dessert We ended our meal with Baked Yogurt. I have always liked Baked Yogurt and this one was good. We had ordered Lemon Grass flavor which I think lacked overall in the dish. It had small pieces of lemongrass which gave out the flavor but for me, it was not sufficient I guess. I liked the dish just the extra flavor would make me love it.
My entire experience at Kynd was really good. I want to visit the place during the daytime to see the vibe and overall look. This place is a real treasure for vegetarians, I would really say...
Read moreLocated next to Westin Pune , Kynd cafe offers us a visual as well as a savory experience. They have a all vegetarian cuisine with multiple cuisines . Mocktails and cocktails both are served. Here is what I tried at: Breakfast: Veg cheese masala omelette- being a vegetarian I was astonished on how good this eggfree omlette was.It was cooked perfectly and the wonderful fact was that the bread that they served was made inhouse. Corn n spinach Tartinie-For healthy options what better than some spinach ,this was very tasty and complemented the omlette really well. Rainbow hummus platter-not just did it look amazing it tasted even better .I tried hummus after a long time and I must say this was exceptional. Highly recommended. Mains: Jalapeno risotto-The Jalapeno risotto was an amazing add on to the wonderful treat I was having .It is cooked very well and the quantity would easily suffice two people . Mushroom kheema pao-a kheema pao with anything non vegetarian is surprising isn't it ,but the taste did not seem like anything different.If you visit this cafe and you are craving for it you can definitely try this one . kynd pizza-unlike the typical pizza this was as the name suggests exceptionally kynd . The quantity and taste was good and it was made in thin crust . You can try this one if you are bored of having the typical pizzas at other places .
Dessert: chocolate sacher torte- the cherry on the cake It was super yummy and even though I was full I tried creating some space because the taste was exceptional.
Cocktails: copper monkey, smokey chocolate martini Both the cocktails were amazing but i loved copper monkey more since the coffee and whiskey blend was outstanding.
All in all this cafe is perfect for vegetarians who love to party and have delicious food with a picture perfect ambience. Must try if you are in and around...
Read more// KYND Cafe & Bar // Kynd is pure vegetarian place and I bet non-vegetarians will love this place too. The Ambience here is just amazing. Not too fancy but yeah they've used this small place (not very small) very nicely and full of creativity. This place has is full of vibrant colours definitely will give you good and positive vibes. Seating arrangements are very comfortable. I personally tried their cocktails Galactic G&T and Copper Monkey. Galactic G &T consisted of Gin, elder flower liqueur, tonic water and blueberries Copper Monkey consists of whiskey, coffee lequer, orange twist and smoke hickory wood both were exceptionally good be it the elder flower liqueur or coffee lequer. Coming to the food
SOY MIRI MARINATED MUSHROOM: mushrooms cooked in mirin and soy sauce until soft Accompanied by sour dough and with pesto sauce. Slightly sour with a touch of sweetness.
SMOKED BAKED SWEET POTATOES: Healthy option for fitness freaks with a hint of olive oil, sea sall and smoked paprika. It switched from sweet to savoury in few bites which was utterly delicious. Potatoes absorbed some great smoke flavor without getting overpowered.
PANEER KUNG PAO: Kung Pao with authentic flavours is always a win win situation for vegetarians. It had that depth of strong flavours that is sweet, sour, savoury which were balanced. With crunchy peanuts it taste amazing.
KHOW SUEY: Could have been more better. The Thai ginger overpowered the exact coconut taste of khow suey. Accompanied with various condiments. It was creamy and the noodles were cooked to perfection.
BAKE BISCOFF CHEESECAKE: It tasted more like caramel alpenlibe which gave a good nostalgia. Size of this cheesecake was good enough. Having this you will get both the delicious caramelised spiced flavour and dense creaminess.
Over-all a treat to vegetarians. Good place...
