The 7A Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Pune

Friends, Food lovers, Countrymen.... lend me your olfactory senses! I happened to visit the 7A Restaurant and Bar, Kharadi and boy am I glad? You bet I am! It's not even a month since they opened up for business and they are already capturing the culinary scene in Kharadi, specifically and Pune, in general. This is by far the bestest ever experience I had in terms of epicurean delights and mixology both, in Pune City. If you haven’t been here; you haven’t lived. I normally keep these statements to the end of the review but in this case I am making an exception- that is how good this place is! It literally captures your olfactory senses. Firstly- the place is a behemoth, rather gargantuan in size, with two mammothic indoor dining areas and a whopper of a roof top plus two very functional bars. The ambience is exquisite, chic, artistically flamboyant and it reveals that each part of the Restobar and Rooftop has been given a characteristic personal touch by the masterminds behind it. It has all the makings of a fine dine and yet can take on a casual party as well. Come night and the whole place turns into a magical kaleidoscope of lights and the lighted up bar looks like the mother tree from the movie avatar. The place is pet friendly as well! So we took Atlas, Alaska, our Husky pair and Havana, the golden retriever, who instantly made friends there, especially with the staff. The staff was enthusiastic in posing with the furry ones for a pic and video. The mere lighting of the bar is enough to let you swoon to the lure of its mixology. I tried the classic Bull LIIT, every drop of it is perfection and bubbly- instantly lifting up my spirits- you know what I mean! Also got to try a delightfully unique  Margarita named White Cloud infused with ginger and lemongrass- this clears your throat, the intense flavours of the ginger and lemongrass tickling your nostrils and setting the gastric juices flowing- enchante Hot Garlic Basil Sauce Prawns- Consequent to the Indo-Chinese food evolution revolution starring Chinatown, erstwhile Calcutta, the modern take on it has assumed verily ingenious and inventive dishes. This is one of them; a subtle fusion of hot garlic infused with thai basil- just delightful! Thai Basil Fish- Feast for the eyes of the beholder (and more for a beer holder... you get the drift?). Brilliant dish, indian basa, slight batter fried, sautéed to perfection with basil, garlic, slight hint of fish sauce, galangal- must try! Shish Touk- This Turkish origin Lebanese grilled chicken (you can call it a Kebab if you want), is reimagined with a tinge of Indian spices(auspiciously  to suit the Indian palate of course), marinated nicely in lebanese yogurt, squish of lemon and garlic. Hummus Edamame- This is the newest innovation in Arabian/ Mediteranean cuisine. The most talked about middle eastern- Mediterranean dish; Hummus made of edamame beans instead of the traditional chickpeas- out of the box and very delish served with an extra virgin olive oil dip. Braised Lamb Rack- Invariably and unarguably their flagship dish. This is a honey glazed braised lamb rack chops, exquisitely plated, the chops so evenly glazed with honey and bbq sauce, a small mound of mashed potatoes, veggies and a thick bbq honey dip- luscious, juicy and moreish lamb chops- just the way I like it! Mutton Rogan Josh- the quintessential Kashmiri mutton dish, an integral part of the Wazwan feast, Rogan josh or Roughan Gosht, is one of the most iconic curried mutton dishes of India- Inspired by the cucchinis of the Mughals who used to spend their summers in Kashmir and laden with the Kashmiri paprika and a host of spices, rich texture and the characteristic, effervescent red colour! Darsaan- Archetypally served with a dollop of Vanilla ice-cream, Darsaan or daarsaan is a Chinese origin crispy honey-noodle with roasted sesame seeds added for good measure. Staff is very affable and caring! Special thanx to Shubham the manager and sincere gratitude to the curator of the dishes- the culinary magician Chef Dutta and...
