Spice It- ibis Pune Viman Nagar — Restaurant in Pune

Ibis has been a host to a lot of travelers and families since more than a decade now. But we have to acknowledge the fact that they are not just good hosts in terms of stay. Their restaurant has some delicacies to try as well. Spice It is a restaurant in the premises which has recently revamped the whole menu. They are working on fulfilling the needs of the Indian taste buds to a great extent. While many try their hands at fusion food and fail, Ibis can be ranked amongst the top successors. The menu which was been launched recently is definitely worth a try. What I tried :

Butter Chicken Penne ( Rs. 325) : Ever heard of this combination before? I bet you haven’t and even if you have , I bet you haven’t dared of having it! Well, I did! I can safely say that I do not regret making this decision. Penne pasta with chunks of chicken in a makhani sauce. I will definitely recommend this one to all you readers out there. Goan flavoured fish fingers ( Rs. 399) : A really fresh batch of fish marinated with goan spices and fried till golden brown. This can be an apt bar bite. It was served in a fancy cone like container. Bengali Mutton Cutlet( Rs. 499) : Minced mutton cutlets served with mustard sauce and some veggies on the side. It is very important that the meat is well minced while preparing such dishes, and it was well taken care of. The cutlets were so soft that they melted in my mouth within seconds.

Soft Phulka Tacos with peri peri Chicken ( Rs. 299) : A phulka is an unleavened flatbread which originates from India and is a staple in India and most of its neighboring countries. Considering the Indian palette, most of us don’t like Mexican food. But if you tell us that there is an Indian touch to it and that the covering is that of a phulka, we won’t even think twice before ordering it. Spice Level : High ( peri peri chicken). A good appetizer if you are going straight to the desserts after this.

Chur Chur Paratha , Dal Makhani and Raita ( Rs. 249) : 10000 points for this one. Me and my better half just could not stop binging on this. Well, I have this newly developed love for dal makhani and this one just satisfied my taste buds to the core. The Chur chur paratha has a choice of filling as well. We took the one with the aloo pyaaz ( onion and potato) filling , but the other options are gobi pyaaz and methi matar. The quantity is sufficient for two people.

Parle G Cheesecake : I’m sure everyone has their own stories to tell when it comes to Parle G. It acts like a perfect snack now that I’m in corporate and have no time to actually take a break to eat anything else. The ingredients of this dessert are: Parle G, Gems, Cheesecake, Rabdi. Yes!!! Rabdi!! I was a bit sceptical about this combination, but it turned out to be absolutely amazing! Cheesecake sandwiched between 2 Parle G biscuits topped with Gems on a bed of Rabdi. What else do you need in life?!

I recently had dinner at Spice It, the restaurant at Ibis Viman Nagar, and was quite impressed. I went for their buffet dinner, and it offered a good variety of dishes, from comforting Indian curries to some continental options. The food was fresh and flavorful, especially enjoyed the live counter which added a nice touch. The ambiance was pleasant and relaxed, making it a good spot for a casual dinner. The staff were attentive and quick to clear plates. If you're looking for a reliable and satisfying dinner buffet near Pune Airport or Viman Nagar, Spice It is definitely worth considering. It's a convenient and tasty option. They also have games and other stuff like massage devices, musical instruments, chess and most loved table tennis which I played a lot....
