Approach
Viman Nagar could informally be known as the land of restaurants, bars and cafe in Pune. Among a host of eating outlets in the area, there is one restaurant that will transport you to not just the Taste of Punjab, but the state of Punjab itself. Taste of Punjab is one of those restaurants where one would go to if having the authentic Punjabi experience is what they are on a lookout for.
Ambience
Like I said before, Taste of Punjab really offers you the whole Punjab package and you feel it as soon as you walk into this venue. There's a plethora of colours that will greet you first. Checked floors, red and purple curtains and different coloured chairs definitely makes the whole place look as if it's painted on a canvas. The chandeliers are basically lights inside huge utensils that will surely leave you both amused and impressed at the creativity. Punjabi tunes play in the background and as if that wasn't enough of a recreation of Punjab in this venue, the waiters here too appear in pagdis and the biggest smiles on their faces. It's a chill ambiance where you would want to break down to bhangra any moment and dance your heart out to the Punjabi tunes.
Food and Service
The restaurant has an outspread menu. There are so many Punjabi dishes that are unheard of if you're not a local of Punjab, but the restaurant true to its name, brings that experience to you. The flavours in each of their dishes are terrific to taste. The bar menu is quite widespread too– there's the good ol' beer and other varieties of cocktails and wines to go with your appetiser or main course. Lassis here are heavenly and greatly enhances the whole Punjabi style food dining experience. End the meal with some delectable dessert, and you wouldn't have the energy to walk out of the place from eating so much. The staff is very polite. They're prompt with their orders and serve you with the widest of smiles.
