 Packed with flavour -
Dorabjee's by Siddha3th
This tiny, rundown little Iranian restaurant is hallowed ground in Poona's cultural mindset. For well over a century (!), Dorabjee's has been preparing the tastiest helpings of chicken and mutton biryani north of Hyderabad. There's so much character to the place - speckled/ cracked walls, ancient tables and chairs - that you almost expect to be greeted by a waiter doused in sepia. Instead, what you receive is a no-frills service attitude - quick and simple. Almost as though everyone wants to cut to the chase, and get to the biryani asap!
You'll get here after a manic, twisting rickshaw ride through the little by-lanes of Central Street which adjoin MG Road. And such an adventure seems only appropriate, given the treat that lies in store at journey's end :) Leave a Comment

 The Shisha Café, all leafy and
welcoming by Siddha3th, 4 more photos
The best shisha place in the whole wide world
doesn't seem so tall a title now, does it :)
Run by a kindly old Iranian gentleman/ character by the name of Mr. Mehdi, the Shisha Café gives you that surreal feeling of deja vu, even if you've chanced upon it for the first time. Everything seems calm and just right, right down to the all important shisha itself. Aromatic old devils these are, with the apple and mint flavours taking top honours.
But the atmosphere takes precedence over all else... a lilting, hypnotic feeling.... where you find yourself drifting off in the gentlest haze of shisha smoke.
The Iranians know their kebabs, so don't miss the platter! Leave a Comment Theme: Middle EasternPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: At ABC Farms, in Koregaon Park.

 The Coffee House by Siddha3th
Situated in a happily bustling part of the city, The Coffee House is never found wanting for patrons. The place has enjoyed a facelift or two over the years, but its soul has remained pretty much intact. A happy, unfussy sorta' vibe that extends upto a second level as well, where you can partake of more 'serious' dining of the Chinese and Continental variety. Done with a most delicious meal, don't forget to stop off for some ice-cream at the parlour set up just outside :)
Dosas! Crisp on the fringes, and softer towards the center. Accompanied by bowls of hot sambhar, and a heavenly white coconut chutney. Lip-smackingly unforgettable!

 Marz - o - Rin, on a memorably
balmy day by Siddha3th, 3 more photos
This Parsi restaurant is a legend unto itself in Poona. Tucked warmly alongside M.G. Road, with a constant flow of traffic and people gracing its front porch. Home to some of the tastiest fast food in town. Not of the greasy, McDonaldized variety mind you, but stuff that seems as though it was prepared with much love and thought at home.
On returning to Marz - o - Rin this time around, I thanked God that it hadn't lost any of its old world charm and flavour. If anything, the cozy little balcony upstairs only seemed to have added oodles of atmosphere to the 'ol maiden. To visit Poona and not come calling at Marz - o - Rin, would be pure sacrilege.
Chutney Sandwiches & Chicken Rolls - soft bread, topped just right with a chili-sweet paste (in the case of the former) and a lovely helping of mayo-laden chicken goodness (with the latter).

 George, at the crossroads to
East Street by Siddha3th
While some of that old, evocative character might have disappeared from George, its knack for a deliciously divine biryani, thankfully has not. Opt for the mutton variety, and settle into a long afternoon of chatter, coffee and a good book.

 The German Bakery, in all its
hippie-like glory by Siddha3th, 2 more photos
The German Bakery is no more than a cozy battered wooden shack, perched precariously on the side of the road where Koregaon Park begins. But within its wooden benches and open-aired exits, lies enough spirit to keep you enraptured for days on end. With cameo appearances by an unmatched band of characters... hippies carving their trail through forever, filmmakers with aspirations towards Bergman, refugees from the Osho Ashrama nearby, or just the lone traveller who just can't get enough of his/ her masala chai :-)
The Masala Chai is so good, it hurts. Strong, sweet and potent. Best accompanied by the gentle patter of rain outside. Leave a Comment Theme: German/AustrianPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: Where Koregaon Park begins.

 Bye-bye, Mahanaaz by Siddha3th
it will always hold a special place.
This grubby Iranian joint was home to the most liveliest of discussions, amidst orders shouted across from all directions. Crisp tiny samosas, steaming hot glasses of chai, and other dirt-cheap stuff that was insanely delicious all made their way to you, a second after being ordered. All the while, traffic would be buzzing crazy all around you, the world apparently crashing down upon Main Street's fabled opening turn.
They might have folded up the last chair on this place. But there's no dusting years of memories under the carpet. Khuda Haafiz, Mahanaaz. Leave a Comment

This place is Air Deccan of the aviation industry i.e. no frills. The restaurant has a clean look consisting of simple table and chairs. But the place is clean, has ample light. They have also fitted air-Coolers to cool off in hot summers of Pune.
Biryani has always occupied highest place on the tastebuds of the food-lovers in India and also on the tastebuds of the guys coming in Indian from abroad !
A spicy preparation originated from the kitchens of Mughals and Nawabs consists rice as its key ingredient mixed with a variety of ingredients. Well, these ingredients play an important part in making the biryani tastier !
