I was the part of First Bloggers table held at Sheesha Pune.
Ambience: Restaurant have huge space. They have three option of sitting the regular Tables and chairs, second one is the cabana style sitting for small group or family and the Round table with separate area.
As we settled down, we started with some mocktails followed by the starters to cool down ourselves.
Soup: Tomato Sorba: Basic Tomato shorba nothing fancy about it.
Cheese Corn Kurkure: Deep fried stuffed with googy cheese and corn was good to start with. The cover was enough crunchy to hold the cheese and with the first bite the cheese was oozing out.
Makai Malai Seekh Kebab: This starter was served on a sizzling hot plate. Nice and mouth melting Keba, distinct in taste and aroma.
Paneer Shashlik: Again this was served on the sizzling plate. Flavoursome Paneer mixed with roughly chopped vegetables which were tossed in a tangy tomato base puree, this give a nice colourful presentation.
Baby Corn Amritsari: Deep fried Baby corns in Amritsari species. I my opinion
it was bit over fried which tend to lose the tenderness of the babycorn.
Main Course
There was huge spread from we had to choose, which made our task bit difficult. The main course was much better than starters.
Tawa Sabz Banjara: This was the winner of evening. Perfect in taste, Spiciness, rich in aroma, roughly chopped vegetables served in a flat tawa style plate. This goes will with Butter Garlic Naan.
Dum Aloo Nawabi: As the name suggest, Soft Dryfruits stuffed dum aloo cooked in Cashew gravy and cooked in rich creamy gravy to get the perfect consistency.
Dal Bukhara: One of the best dal in the town, slow cooked for hours to get the thickness without adding any thickening agent which can be felt right from the first bite. This goes well with Kadak Roti and Jeera rice.
Veg Biryani: Moist, Flavourful, rich in aroma, perfectly cooked with equal amount of spice.Vegetables were perfectly cooked and chunky. No issues at all.
Desserts:
Avadhi Lasooni Kheer: This was something unusual in the dessert section so we ordered that. Basically it was Kheer with very finely chopped garlic mixed with the kheer. If you don’t like garlic’s after taste, then this dessert is not ment for you. It’s different and unique.
Gulab Jamun: Small in size soft and dipped in sugar syrup.
Overall a good experience apart from some teething issues. And of course they serve different flavours of Sheesha and they have weekly Sufi nights to enjoy along with good food.
A Big shout out for the Shivangi from Carpe Diem for invitation and Team Sheesha for hosting us.
