🍴 What We Tried:

🔹Bar Bites: • Mutton Boti Bhel: A street-style bhel taken to the next level! Tender mutton chunks tossed with crisp sev, onions, and masalas — the perfect spicy & tangy bar snack. A bold desi twist you’ll keep munching on. • Kothmir Crunch Bite: These were bite-sized, herby-crunchy pops packed with flavour — fresh coriander, spice, and a golden crust. Pairs brilliantly with cocktails.

🔹Mains: • Mutton Nali Roast: Rich, slow-cooked marrow bone mutton that’s hearty and indulgent. It comes with soft pav, perfect for soaking up the intense gravy. A must-try for meat lovers! • Butter Chicken Surf & Turf: This fusion dish caught us off guard (in a good way!). Classic butter chicken base served with prawns and grilled chicken. Creamy, smoky, and satisfying — this dish pushes boundaries. • Peri Peri Non-Veg Sizzler: Served sizzling hot with a mix of spicy chicken, veggies, and rice – this is the kind of dramatic dish that turns heads. The peri-peri marinade adds just the right kick. • Nasi Goreng (Non-Veg): Their take on the Indonesian fried rice doesn’t hold back. Packed with umami, topped with a fried egg, and served with satay – it’s comfort food with global flair.

🍸 We Loved: • Grapes Monitor: Refreshing, fruity, and not overly sweet – a grape-forward drink that’s perfect for summer sipping.

• The Backfoot: If you like your drinks strong and layered with flavour, this one’s for you. It hits the spot without being overpowering.

🍰 Desserts: • Layered Chocolate Decadence Cake: Rich, moist layers of chocolatey goodness – indulgent yet balanced. The kind of dessert you won’t want to share. • Dark Matter: This one lives up to its name – mysterious, dark, and dreamy. With hints of chocolate & coffee, it ends the meal on a luxe note.

💬 Final Verdict:

The Studs Baner nails the balance between a chill hangout spot and a serious food destination. The menu is a fun blend of Indian, global, and fusion dishes, the drinks are creative, and the vibe is consistently upbeat.

Must-Try Dishes: Mutton Nali Roast, Butter Chicken Surf &...

This newly opened sports bar is in Baner. Ambience - a well decorated sports vibing pub with space for live music and some indoor games ( snooker and foosball). The light up is wide and loud which could have been a bit dim and cozy. A white background makes it look even bigger but gives more of a cafe feeling than a pub. Food - we tried: Sizzling scarlet tandoori chicken (3.5/5) - chicken tandoori served in sizzling plate. Some parts of the chicken were juicy but the middle pieces had to be a bit more flavourful. Fish and chips (5/5) - served with 3 big pieces along with white tarter sauce. This was tasty and is a must try dish in this outlet. The basa fish was well smeared in the batter and was soft and juicy in the mouth. The outer coating was crisp and you will enjoy it with your beer. Tamarind prawns (2/5) - this was a little off the taste, it was tangy and blunt! The marination of the prawns had to be better as it was blank and a tinge of extra salt into it made it worsen! Death by wings (3/5) - spicy chicken wings with a tinge of sour and chilly. If you like spicy food you can opt for it. Stuffed cheese chicken tikka (4/5) - chicken tikka with cheese filling was a good option. It was soft with cheese popping out when u bite it. Have it while it's served hot. 6.Chicken Hakka noodles(4.5/5)- another must try dish. The noodles were well cooked with a good blend of chicken and egg with proportionate veggies. Well cooked in olive oil with a smell of oyster sauce. Cantaritos El Studs (5/5) (cocktail) - tequila based cocktail with pineapple juice, pomegranate and Tabasco sauce & tagin. This was the best cocktail out here and is recommended for everyone who likes it a bit sweet yet punching a good hit. We used pineapple juice as a replacement to orange juice. Liquid Bubblegum (4/5) - if you like milk based then try this cocktail. Served with baileys, banana and blue curacao. Dark matter (dessert) (1/5) - it goes by the name, the taste is indeed dark and better to avoid. It contains chocolate ganache, sea salt caramel, moist chocolate cake with roasted almonds and vanilla ice cream. It sounds and looks great but trust me it's a waste for Rs 600/-. You will have to find out the ganache and the vanilla ice cream. Overall the pub is good with live music playing in the background, but the noise needs to be lower given the space. Cost for 2 Rs 1500-1800/-, you can avail zomato...

There's something on the menu for everyone, and they have 16 homegrown brews on tap. Including one ifbmy favourites by Big Little Brewing. 🍻

Here’s what we tried:

Fried Okra with Chilli – crispy, spicy, and hard to fault.🌱 Dangar Chutney Prawns – minced prawn patties paired with chutney, snack-sized and easy to share. 🍤

Since the weather was calling for comfort, we leaned Indian: Dal Makhani – creamy and mildly spiced, though I found myself craving a deeper hit of flavour. Chicken Pulao – served in an adorable mini pressure cooker!

To wrap it up, we entered dessert orbit with Dark Matter – chocolate, vanilla sponge, and caramel layered into a galaxy-inspired plate. Props for the creativity and the celestial theme, obviously 💫
