Silk Route

Dec 31, 2007

A great Eating Experience

Directions: From Koregaon Park road, take North Main Rd. Take a right at lane 6. Silk Route is on your left at the first crossroad.

The first thing that strikes you as you enter Silk Route is a very authentic oriental ambience, a golden lion sitting pretty between bamboo plants and the waitress’s dressed in traditional Thai costumes. The place has a garden seating as well as an indoor seating arrangement. They also have a small lounge on the first floor, which is ideal for a small private party (there was a party on when we went there this weekend and that place can easily accommodate 35 –40 people). The waiters are very friendly and the service is quick, which was good as the place had decent crowd in for a Sunday afternoon. The best part about the place of course is the food. People who are used to the Indo Chinese taste may not like the taste here cause it’s authentic and hence a little bland, but otherwise the place definitely has the best oriental menu in Pune. Apart from the regular Chinese and Thai dishes the place has good variety of Korean, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Japanese dishes. Unfortunately I was there with all veggies so could not taste the non-veg food, but the veg food was definitely worth the money. You can try the Ginger capsicum rice for sure; also do not forget to order the apple banana toffee and the honey noodles in sesame. Both deserts come with vanilla ice cream and are absolute delights. The food presentation also is very interesting; one of the starters that we ordered came with a carrot carved out in the shape of a bird.
The food portions are slightly small especially for the starters and don’t really justify the cost. A meal for one including starters and soft drinks would be around Rs 350/-
Overall a great eating experience!!!
