Persian Bakery

It's situated close to where the Kalyani nagar Metro stop is coming up, so it is a but hard to locate and get to especially if you are coming from Kalyani Nagar towards the Aga Khan Bridge. The rum ball was not as wet as I would have liked. The chocolate was thick and quite sticky making it necessary to really chew it down. The lemon tart was a let down. The lemon curd was not fluffy rather stiff and artificial tasting. I found its texture grainy and lacking authentic lemon flavor. The tart pastry was delicious. The blueberry tart was heavenly. I would highly recommend it. The chocolate tart was also good. The eclair was another letdown. Instead of Custard they filled it with frosting. The size is also unreasonably large; it barely fits into your mouth.

The finest pastries and cookies in Pune (and Mumbai too!). I make it a point take several packets of their Shrewsbury biscuits for my relatives in London, who insist for it as an entrance fee 😄 to their place. I once ordered a strawberry short cake with fresh cream on short notice, and, they made an absolutely fabulous one with the freshest of REAL cream I have ever tasted! Normally cakes with cream tend taste synthetic because additives are added to make it last and stay in shape … this was not so here! At the party where I took the cake, all of it was eaten up in a matter of minutes with people wanting more!! Bijan is a master pastry chef at the bakery and his attention to details as well as passion for all things baking shows through in how well he understands his customer needs.

Love! Love ! Love….. simply delicious bakery and confectionery goodies. Finger licking blueberry cheesecake, Ferrero Rocher cake, chocolate truffle cake, rum balls, Hyderabadi biscuits and the list goes on and on…. Very reasonable prices and great portions…. I am sold to be a dedicated customer for life. My suitcase is always full of “ Persian bakery goodies “ for friends and family .
