Food anatomization : Yana Sizzlers & Wok, Kalyani Nagar - Pune
Yana Sizzlers is a well-known name in the genre of sizzlers in Pune, but I definitely cannot deem it as the best.
We were here for a team event.
The place is spread out, it can accommodate large groups of people. The place had about 15-20 tables on the floor - the seating by the wall had the cushioned sofas embedded on the wall while the others were the wooden table chair setup.The decor had prominent use of blue in it - specially textured tiles adorned on the walls.
As you enter, you would find a cartoon sketch depicting a dining hall covering the wall.
There was a small TV mounted on the wall - which was playing some old cricket and wrestling matches. There was a cute Buddha structure built in stone beneath it - loved it.
The place was well lit.
The other end of the room had the sauce counter and their open kitchen placed.
I loved the paper games on the table - word puzzle, tic to, cross word and find the shortest path - fun eh?!
We had a varied order ranging from delicacies in vegetarian and nonvegetarian sizzlers with cuisine ranging from Indian, Chinese to Malaysian.
The menu is indeed quite diverse - but a small description about each would have been of great ease!
Initially, I had opted for the combo sizzler meal - which as per the server included any chicken/lamb sizzler, a soup/aerated drink/lime soda and two scoops of ice cream. Prior to the reservation, we were told we could order anything from the non-vegetarian section in the combo meal - only to be disappointed to find out there would be no fish sizzlers included in the combo. Alas!!
So I settled for the MINI PRAWN MASALA SIZZLER with a choice of one sauce that was the hot chili sauce.
First to be served on the table was the MANCHOW SOUP - the soup was okay-ish, super hot I would say. With the addition of few sauces and the manchow crumbles, I managed to enhance the taste to suit my taste buds - yet a wee bit bland and a thinner consistency.
The Sizzler took quite a while to arrive on the table - and as it came - it just sizzled through. Siizzzzzzz......
Decked up on the sizzling plate was rice over which was the super hot and spicy mini prawn masala, with one side filled with yummy-licious finger chips and the other side with veggies like onions, peas, corn, beans, capsicum, and spinach.
I wouldn't deny the quantity on the sizzler was way too much for me to finish - I think it was impossible to finish even half of it.
But I loved every bite of my sizzler - loaded with tiny prawns, I absolutely gorged on them - the sizzler was delicious. The blend of spices, sauces, prawns, rice, and veggies was just the way I like it. Eating a small platter would not have killed the taste with monotony. - I wish they would offer small sized sizzlers too.
I tried the chicken from the CHICKEN KEBAB MASALA with HOT GARLIC SAUCE - so this was an Indianised version with similar contents minus the prawns masala plus the chicken cubes and an extra veggie of cauliflowers flooded in. It didn't find quite a fan following on the table. The chicken was tender, juicy yet lacked certain flavors.
Overall, with the range of sizzlers served - it was a mixed review - with some loving their sizzlers, with others not enjoying through that much.
An aerated drink or lime soda is a must with the sizzler, I opted for the sweet lime soda - perfectly made.
The KESAR PISTA ice cream was good - served with a chocolate stick and topped with a cherry.
The service is something that is little lagged - although they would do what we ask for - could sense a slight reluctance. The manager was pretty helpful with suggestions and he patiently took our order without any mix ups. Kudos!!
