INTRODUCTION It’s a typical family plus bar kinda of restaurant located in the remote part of the Kondhawa Pune. Its pretty oild restaurant. They have now started a party hall kind of thing where they only take party orders. This place is known for its cheap liquor and its serves mostly North Indian and Chinese food.

FOOD

Cream of Chicken Soup Its soup made from cream and chicken broth. Its base is made of the flour mixed with chicken broth and added some cream and to taste some black pepper. The cream of soup tasted more like a sweet corn soup. It had ample amount of chicken pieces into it.

Cotton Paneer 65 It was cheese which was wrapped by grated paneer. This paneer was then tossed a sauce which had more south indian touch to it. It had spicy sauce base with lots of curry leaves on to it. It was confusing what is the dish exactly. And the combination of the paneer cheese dint went well was both paneer and cheese went to loose in density.

Veg Seekh Kebab Veg seekh kebab is a kebab made finely chopped veggies mixed with gram flour and cooked in a tandoor. The veg seekh kebab here taste more like a sweet corn kebab. It was over sweet and we could only taste corn and no other things.

Spicy Chicken in Black Bean Sauce It’s a continental preparation, having some fried chicken tossed in black bean sauce along with some veggies. The Chicken was coated with a all purpose flour batter and deep fried. The sauce was made from black beans but it really like the taste of the black beans, it tasted more like a normal chicken chilly sauce. The chicken was bit hard and chewy.

Murgh Bhattika Kebab It was chicken kebab marinated with curd and spices like green chilli some black pepper red chilli and turmeric. The kebab was marinated very well. But the chicken was overcooked and was not that fresh which supressed the marination taste.

Veg Mastani It was a mix veg gravy having finely chopped beans, carrots, peas and some paneer. The gravy was onion and tomato based gravy. It was lacking in seasoning there was no salt in the gravy. Though the veggies were sautéed properly and cooked well. The gravy was infused with the taste of the veggies but it lacked the seasoning.

Chicken Gulmosh Half This was their signature non veg mains dish. It had boiled egged covered with chicken mince which was pan seared. The gravy was tomato and onion based. It also had some small pieces of chicken into it. The gravy was thick gravy. I felt if the gravy would be a bit thin would make this dish more better.

VERDICT This place is quiet old place, the service was not that upto mark. The food was okish not that expectation great food. Small small improvements in the food can make this food...

There are total 2 different ambiences here one of which is formal family diner type and other is one which we explore when we go to a vacation spot, like Goa. Let's talk about the vacation vibe ambience - There are 2 lively spaces with different themes, one of which is posh friends and family space with family table which can easily fit around 16 people, then there is kinda couple tree house tube type which is pretty booked here as it is very popular among the couples. The second one is green themed, comfy cushioned chairs, perfect for evenings in the warm cozy evenings. If you wanna enjoy a sunset, this is the ambience for you.

The Bar - This has amazing collection from medium to super fancy liquor bottles. No doubt the mixology is particularly good here. I did try few things here:- Now me being non alcoholic person I tried few of their mocktails out of which one particularly stood out.

Alien shuttle :- From my view, there is chocolate dressing on side of the glass, then carcao syrup in the base, then a mix of few secret syrups, well shaken and dressed with pinch of sea Salt. Wowww this is surprisingly Appetizing,refreshing and well balanced.

Let's talk about the food :-

Chicken dakshina kebab - This is slightly green BBQd kebabs which are marinated in coriander, fenugreek, black pepper served with green Chutney

Veg anguri masala - Scrumptious mix veg tikkis paired with slightly sweet red gravy, topped with cheese shavings. This goes well with butter garlic naam.

...... MOUNTAIN HIGH SPECIALTY........

MALAYSIAN CHICKEN MASALA. This is very colorful in nature and it gives a very sea food vibe yet being a chicken dish. Shreaded chicken strips and bits coated in colorful batter, fried till crisp and topped with Malaysia green Curry. (Normal butter Naan pairs beautifully with this) ............................................................................. Paan Gulkand Ice Cream Another Mountain High specialty, the ice cream is house made with infusion technique and this is very well made as the consistency, buttery smoothness and texture was off charts. This is a must have for current weather and a perfect end to a very delightful meal.

Last weekend, my two friends and I decided to dine at Mountain High Wanorie in Pune, a restaurant that offers a unique and versatile setup. The place is perfect for hosting events, with a variety of seating arrangements to suit different moods—be it a garden-style open area or cozy indoor spaces. Adding to its charm, they feature talented local singers performing live on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, creating a vibrant and entertaining atmosphere.

Now, let’s talk about the food—an absolute delight! Known for their seafood, Mountain High truly excels in dishes like Surmai Tawa Fry and Pomfret Tawa Fry. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, with just the right blend of spices that enhanced the natural flavors of the fish. Alongside these, we also tried their Chicken Badami, a dish so tender and flavorful that it melted in our mouths. Each bite was a burst of rich, creamy goodness.

The restaurant goes the extra mile by serving dried prawn fry as a complimentary treat with their Surmai Tawa Fry. The accompaniments were just as impressive—the chutneys served with the fish were incredible, and the grated coconut salad added a refreshing and authentic touch to the meal.

The ambiance deserves a special mention. The decor is both elegant and welcoming, giving the feel of dining in a star hotel while maintaining a warm, local charm. Whether you're there for a casual evening or a special occasion, Mountain High Wanorie ensures a memorable experience.

All in all, the combination of great food, inviting ambiance, and live music made our visit truly unforgettable. If you’re in Pune and craving some top-notch seafood or indulgent chicken dishes, this place is a must-visit!
