The World on your Plate
Giving homegrown cafes tough competition, one of Mumbai’s favourite cafes, Indigo Deli, has arrived in Pune, bringing its smart decor and delectable food to the city. Spread across 3200 sq feet, the cafe has a show kitchen which is understandably the focus of the space, along with the bar section and the dining area that blend in seamlessly. There are different seating sections—open seating for larger groups and horse-shoe shaped booths for cosy dinners.
On the Menu Think global, eat local continues to be the food philosophy here, with creative twists to comfort food and nouvelle cuisine that stresses on light cooking that preserves the identity of local ingredients. Go for the specials—the rueben sandwich in which the pastrami is made in-house and the meat is cured over 21 days. If you prefer to stick to the bestsellers, order the popular smoky, spicy and sweet BBQ pork ribs and the homemade ice-creams. Other all-time favourites are the deli roast chicken, eggs benedict, and the signature citrus salad or the corn crusted potato and jalapeno burger. There’s no room for boredom as the chef puts up daily specials every day.
Shaken and Stirred Match the food with innovatively flavoured cocktails like the coastal ride martini, guava and sriracha margarita and the musk melon and kiwi mojito. With live gigs adding to the celebratory ambience, Indigo Deli has come to town at just the right time—when Pune is all set to party.
