Food anatomization : Village Rooftop, Pune
After a short span of being shut down, this place has re-opened with a bang renaming itself to The Village Rooftop and Lounge from just The Village.
The first problematic thing is the non availability of a parking space - finding a parking spot is a task on the busy roads of Kondhwa.
My my as you enter you would find that the place so crowded over the weekend from eight-ish itself and it does not stop, people just keep pouring in.
They have brought about major changes in their décor and furnishings. As you enter through the village door, the numerous lights overheard add a beautiful charm - definite to bring about a smile! :)
Their attempts to incorporate the lounge format is not very impactful. The place is dimly lighted in the inside.
They have tried to accommodate more of the crowd which in turn has resulted in the tables being placed too close to each other - at least where we were seated we felt that way.
The walls are filled with some classy one liner posters on one end, yet looked little vacant comparatively.
They have a in house bar which looks quite fancy with chairs by it.
They were projecting football matches during the time we were there.
Rooftop allows you to enjoy the breezy and cool evenings.
Coming to the food - the menu is humungous - literally a big placard sort of a menu. They had almost 100 plus dishes on their menu - wow!!
We ordered for the TANGDI KABAB - standard preparation, well tandoor-ed tangdis - spicy and tasty!
The ANGARA KEBABS were grilled to perfection, balanced taste and went excellent with the green chutney.
Tried their famous JUJEH KEBABS - is an Iranian dish having chicken breast plainly marinated in lemon, salt ,pepper, turmeric powder and oil. A very simple dish, but I could not find my likeness for the dish - the chicken pieces had gone little tough for the teeth and the sour taste was not even. This one failed at my verdict.
For the mains we went for the MURGH PATIALA with the NAANS - a delicacy in itself. Tender pieces of chicken engulfed in an egg preparation served in gravy - impressive piece of delicacy. The garlic naans were just the icing on the cake. Just perfect! :)
The service is slow - you have to make hard attempts to draw the attention of the servers to your table.
