Poona Republic

Located in Baner (Sai Empire Building). Visited on late Saturday evening for dinner in a group of four. Had booked table via Zomato and got table immediately on arrival. The ambiance is a top notch like a five star hotel. Dim lights which is perfect for Dinner. They have indoor seating on two floors and outdoor seating as well. We went for indoor seating on ground floor. Some light music so that you can chat comfortably. Coming to the Food, the review is as below: 1. Garlic Bread - One of the Nest Garlic Bread in Pune, The bread was fresh and soft. And cooked with garlic till perfection. It was so sumptuous that we had to order it again but unfortunately it was out of stock. 2. Paneer Chili - Must of Paneer Chili lovers. The Paneer was soft and had adequate amount of Masala. It was served with sauteed onions & capsicum. 2. Margarita Pizza - A Thin Crust Pizza cooked with 4 cheese. This was good and on the lighter side. 3. Mutton Raara -  Delicious gravy with soft pieces of Mutton. The Mutton was well cooked and in fact this is one of the best Mutton Raara in Pune. 4. Tandoori Roti -  Wheat based Roti, a hard to find they serve it here. 5. Baileys Irish Cream Whisky - This drink is for non-drinkers, its like smoked cold coffee with hint of smooth whisky. My friend's favorite drink and we were glad they serve it here. The bottle is quite costly, especially if only one person has to drink one peg. 6. Watermelon Cocktail -  Classic watermelon cocktail with real watermelon juice. Service is excellent. You don't need to call the staff here, they keep checking and help you out with order as well. For example I had insisted for dry gravy and Mutton Raara was perfect dry gravy. The pricing is a little high but justified with the quality of food and service. I am surprised it took me time to visit here after long to check in here. Will be definitely visiting here again.

Very nice restaurant to hang out with friends and family, very neat and clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating avaiable. The food taste is nice however is on the higher end. We were 6 people and paid 8k+ bill for food and alchohol. They have some cool options for deserts as well. Vallet parking is available. Reservation is recomended.

Lovely ambience combined with deliciously tasty food make this a restaurant where you will have a wonderful meal. The service staff are also very good, efficient, smiling, courteous and helpful. They have a vast menu, we chose to have Indian cuisine, had corn gilafi kebab...good. The subji hand of mixed veggies and Dal Makhani together with lachha parathas was delicious. Also loved the desserts of chocolate mousse and pan( betel leaf flavour) mousse. Excellent place. Definitely recommend a visit.

Visit here for a pleasant ambiance, great food and friendly staff. Their buffet is good and certainly value for money. Must try, Chicken Fry, Chicken Tikka, Moong Dal Halva and Kheema Chicken. The ambiance is just right and inspiring. Big screen makes a delight to watch high octane sports while guzzling spirits. On Fridays you can enjoy DJs. Enjoy Madi!

There's nothing Poona about this place... It has tandoori and indian and some Asian (Chinese)... with some cafe food. The Tom yum soup was not quite how I remember the dish... The starters (tandoor mushroom and jalapeno poppers) were a tad spicy butt tasty. The main course was good... (stuffed capsicum and the chicken gravy) though the garlic roti was below paar.

I visited the place with my office friends twice and we really liked the ambience. Staff was very good and polite and very active. This place has got big screen and there are some books which you can read. Only problem here I feel here is parking. Parking lot common between all shops so you need find your place for parking specially on weekends. Food quality is good. But this restaurant is little costly. This place has its dedicated bar as well. Would love to go once again.

¦¦¶WOW¶¦¦ what a AMBIANCE really AMAZING Awesome place with a attractive ambiance which they divide into 3 parts as casual dining, lounge and balcony section. A well presented place with huge number of seating arrangements. It's place for casual dining or casual party with a glass of drinks. The restaurant has huge variety of dishes and drinks. The menu contains a mix of Indian, Chinese and continental dishes. Let's try some lip smacking food. We ordered salt & pepper prawns : it was yummy because I loved pepper but the one demerit is the quantity as per the price. Sichuan tandoori tikka : it was awesome as the tikka was grilled very well. The taste was really good. Peppery cottage cheese : it's a bit different dish i had but the taste was average. Corn cheese gilafi seekh and chicken rassadar: I haven't tried these but as per my friends views they were average. One overall view on all starter is the quantity which is not proper for the price what they are charging. On main we ordered one chicken gravy dish, one mutton gravy dish and mix veg. The taste are really awesome. Ambiance :4/5 Food:4/5 Service:4/5 Value for money:3/5
