SISA - Some Indian Some Asian
Monday, August 14, 2006
G1, Metropole, Next to Inox Multiplex, Bund Garden Road, Pune - 411 001
Phone: 56229945
Food: The name says it all.
Ambience: Pretty good for a quiet dinner. Not very crowded (like Flags next-door).
Rates: Rs. 500-600 for a three course dinner for two.
Short Review: We went at around 8:30pm and found ourselves to be the only customers there! It is a dimly lit place with decent interior. Soft music (Kenny G) was playing, which suited the mood well. Another night, with a different set of friends, it would have appeared too depressing perhaps! Any ways, food was good, service was decent. Kinda pricy for the quality of food.
I recommend:Sheesh Tauk (this was the highlight of our dinner), Tom Yum soup.
The Sheesh Tauk is a mild, mediterranean Kebab dish which was a welcome change along with the spicy chicken. The Hummus was quite tasty. I think the mediterranean food there holds promise.
Buyer Beware:Chicken in garlic sauce was VERY hot and we were not warned.
Nothing spectacular and nothing you do not get in a regular desi chinese place.
NO NO:Jalapeno poppers were a complete disaster. Obviously neither the chef nor anyone on the management has ever seen or tasted the real thing. God, forgive them for they don't know what they are selling ;). This was more of a cottage cheese + all purpose flour with regular indian mirchi chopped fine made into inch size balls and fried. D-UH!
