Address: To be posted
Directions: This is about half a kilometer from Sarjaa in the same lane. Its on the left, you should see a board for Natekar sports once you go past the first entrance of Chroma. Skips is right outside Natekar sports. It is kind of hard to locate. See the map below.

Food Review: This is a small joint owned by a passionate chef. Your basic sandwich place with a twist. They also have turkey, ham on the menu and the sandwiches are about 40-70 rs a piece. Usually not seen in India. They use the bigger bread slices, so one sandwich can fill you up quite well. Note: Neeraj ate two and I had one and half. (we were famished!!)
The chicken burger is awesome. The patty is much different as compare to what you get in MacD or even Venky's burger patty. This has a more smokey flavor, reminds you of the burgers in US. It took a good 10 minutes to get the burger and it was well worth the wait. If you are expecting Subway kind of speed, don't! Each burger had a warmed patty, toasted bread, veggies, pickle, optional cheese, mayo.
For the second round, I opted for the ham and Neeraj wanted something veg. Sharayu (the owner) offered to make something veggie for him. Again it took a good ten minutes.
This sandwich was extremely good too. The ham, like most cured meat, was a little salty. Neeraj does not like that. His veggie sandwich was again great. It was a tasty combination of veggies with seasoning.
Ask them to go easy on the mayo and butter, or else the sandwiches are pretty greasy. All sandwiches are served with potato wafers (not the chips/fries). We also tried the mango milkshake, can't go wrong there. You could pass the watermelon juice.
We were told that they plan to start home delivery soon.
The chef makes sandwiches with a lot of passion and precision. I would strongly recommend this for someone who loves a quick lunch/ dinner (but not in an hurry! - plan to wait about 10-15 minutes for your food)
Tip: They are closed on Mondays!

I just wanted to say that this is a pretty good blog. I've already added it to my Google Reader subscriptions.
How about putting a GoogleMaps mashup to indicate locations of the restaurants you review?
hey, wonderful blog !!! I am ex-puneite in the US and not been home for couple of years- your reviews will help me embrace new Pune restaurants with a flair of confidence!!!
thanks,buddy!!

Hey buddy, I came across your site and find your reviews really good!
The reason you have mentioned to start this site is
"I've often struggled to find the address, directions and phone numbers to the restaurants I've heard of. There's no one good site to turn to for that. So here's my attempt. I'm going to try and enter the information of all restaurants I visit. Let me know if you would like to contribute to this."
But I guess there some sites which have this information such www.tastykhana.com, burrp.com then we have idhq.com
Yes some sites above are still to have entire Pune covered.
Do you also contribute to these sites or do you also plan to start your site on the same lines> ;)
Anyways just want to add that you doing a great job!
