Urbo, Baner, Pune

URBO, Baner just feels like the ideal space for everyone, paying little heed to what the occasion or tendency. Part-common with a dash of style, it's optimal be it for devouring in the outside, moving the night away, comfortable get-togethers or just to compensate for lost time with sidekicks.

For what reason would it be a smart thought for you to visit?

An inside fashioner by calling, the owner, Nitesh Kyada understands that one-gauge doesn't fit all. Segregated into four particular settings, URBO is short for Ultimate Dine, Reverb Lounge, Bespoke Deck and Open Street. The Ultimate Dine is the place you eat under the open sky, the Reverb Lounge is furnished with a move floor and bar, the Bespoke Deck stinking of ostentatiousness is ideal for private get-togethers and the Open Street is an understanding of a European street bistro. Taste on some in-house blended beverages and peruse a menu that offers Italian, Continental, Chinese and Asian sustenances, with consideration on veggie sweetheart and non-vegetarian Indian dishes.

What to Order?

Begin your involvement with The Blue Fairy or Grass Hopper. The Blue Fairy is a blend of smoked bourbon base with a hint of sweetness from the cinnamon stick. A lively drink that is ideal for nippy evenings. The Grass Hopper, on the other hand, is dainty and fortifying inferable from the liberal proportions of lemongrass in the refreshment. An intriguing canapé to join these refreshments with is Tandoori Malai Artichoke. Snack estimated fire seared bits of artichoke heart mince mixed with separated up zucchini and cabbage and arranged generously with green chillies are given pineapple salsa to tone down the glow. Assigned with a kurkuri bhindi, it makes for an acknowledged rest in the sea of uninteresting starters. The Jalapeno Corn Poppers, crisp ostensibly and disgusting, gooey inside joined on wooden sticks fills the job of the ideal, whimper free bar-eat. Curated by four Master Chefs from various pockets of India, URBO presents a phenomenal menu called as the Lost Cuisines of India which pays tribute to the neglected fixings and equations of the country. An unprecedented dish worth referencing is the South Indian Pomfret Parcel. Wrapped by a banana leaf, a full pomfret is marinated in flavours before steaming it. Flaky and flooding with flavours, it justifies getting your hands smudged for this dish. The Portion Limited menu is a once-over of hand-picked dishes that are a devour in itself. From this menu get the Chicken Roast with Appam or the Amritsari Chole Kulcha. Ideal for one, Chicken Roast with Appam is a platter with two normally made padded appams with a bowl of chicken canvassed in a thick tart sauce. The model North Indian recipe, the Amritsari Chole Kulcha combo goes with a grainy sauce of white chickpeas and layered kulchas stacked down with smashed potato. From the mains, choose the trusty Mutton Rogan Josh. Fragile bits of sheep swim in thin incredible sauce, which is best tidied up with naan.

Virtuoso tip

Every Thursday and Saturday night, URBO has unrecorded music gigs or DJs to set the moving floor on fire.

Phenomenal for

Its chic internal parts and ample structure are ideal for vivacious evenings with a get-together of friends, private social affairs or family get-together. Under the starry sky, the Ultimate Dine can play the perfect host to wistful meet also.

What can be better?

The Stuffed Spinach Chicken Tikka was overpoweringly singing, which does not allow spinach to exhibit its capacity.

So had been to this place on Saturday night with visitors at my place. the place appeared to be immense from outside and the open air seating is extremely marvelous! We were a gathering of 20-25 individuals so I am extremely not certain if any music was being played or not as our voices were sufficient! Going to the sustenance!

Manchow soup - it had cream in it and was sweet! Baffled! At the point when asked the server he said its combination thus it has cream in it. on the off chance that you like the first manchow kindly don't arrange it here l you will be taken for an amazement! 1/5

Chatpata aloo tikka - not that chatpata however but rather it was alright composes - 2/5

Paneer Malai Tikka - Paneer was extremely delicate and the filling and green chutney was extremely stunning! - 5/5

Corn cheddar popper sticks - adored the introduction. these sticks are served in little shot glasses. 4/5

Paneer Bhurji pav - presented with 3 pav bhurji n onion plate of mixed greens. the bhurji did not have salt subsequently was boring! - 2/5

Amritsari chole kulchay - kulcha was stunning with onions in it. chole likewise did not have salt in it! - 2/5

Exotica festival pizza - pizza was alright. fixings were well spread and tasted well subsequent to including the flavoring!- 3/5

Dal khichadi - dal khichadi however more often than not we never attempt yet having couple of seniors with us we requested it. be that as it may, amazingly, it ended up being better than average! All around prepared with onions n garlic it was a decent end to the supper!

The staff benefit was great. in any case, would have extremely cherished the place if every one of the dishes were better than average!

While visiting this newly opened classy restaurant, taking a left form Baner road, you will notice a giant hoarding, too fancy for a restaurant's advertisement. That hoarding, my friend, is promoting Urbo.

The place is huge, and its architecture and interiors are fascinating. You just cant help but give them 'the perfect score' for ambience.Here's why,

First you enter into a rich waiting area/reception. It has leather sofas, high ceilings, fancy chandeliers, LED TV and wooden furnishings. The waiting room itself is better then half the restaurants in city!

Then you enter into a humongous version of the waiting room itself. There's the dance floor, with a great disc jokey playing some great tracks. A bar housing good alcohol and tables with sofa as well as chair seatings. Upstairs, the interiors are similar fashion, except you have private party sections there. Its not entirely private, but you can conduct some business meetings or family gatherings and control the music volume.

On the other side of this lovely structure, they have turned the parking section into a sweet street themed seating section. Its a cute setting, but the rising plumes of smoke turn it into a less habitable zone( atleast for me) .

Then the other side, of the other side, where we dined is a large area with quite a few no. of tables. Dim lightings, tables seprated into different sections with using metal structural frames, use of small trees and so on make it a great setting for family dinners or even candle light dates.

It doesnt matter in how much great detail I try to describe this place, you will know for yourself once you experience it firsthand!

Now let me fill you in about the speciality of URBO. Apart form its great interiors and ambience, its a pure vegetarian restaurant, serving alcohol. So their concept is totally new, and I wish them luck for it. So if you cant stand the smell of non-veg food at tables around you, but still need a booze then this might be your paradise.

Now moving on to food. We tried a lot of dishes form the menu, and I will try to brief you in about most of them.

Starting with soup,

CREME DE MANCHOW SOUP - 4.5/5

A great fusion, which was well thought of and well executed. The good old manchow soup, warm and thick, topped with a slab of crunchy fried noodles. To make matters more yummy, a doze of cream was added. It didnt sweeten the soup, and the authentic chinese taste was maintained. The soup was consistent throughout, and its yumminess along with a growling tummy allowed me to finish the entire bowl in a minute!

Then came a good variety of cocktails and mocktails alike( just 1 mocktail if I remember correctly) . CROWNHEAD, TUBELIGHT, FLOATING HEART were a few of the cocktails. Just tasting a sip form each of them gave me the idea that all of them were a bit too strong.The presentation was great nevertheless.

The only mocktail, and the one I loved,

BASIL COOLER - 4/5

A tall glass filled with watermelon juice, a bit of fizzy soda and sugar to sweeten. My fellow bloggers found it to be too sweet, but I relished each and every single sip of it. Its light, its sweet, its watermelon! What's there to not like! ?

Appetizers had the following tempting menu,

CORN CHEESE POPPER STICKS - 4/5

Presented wonderfully, in small shots glass, half filled with thick cheese, and then crunchy corn poppers stuck on to a stick on the other side. The poppers were really yummy, but the cheese in the glass was half wasted as you are not able to fully utilize with the help of the stick and popper apparatus.

LYCHEE GALOUT ON ICE - 3.8/5

To be really honest, I dont know what a galout means, and even google baba isnt able to help. So its safe to say they may have invented a new dish altogether. All I can say is it was really cold, and tasted just like lychee, then once you bite it a nice burst of flavours engulfs your mouth. The papad sticks, dipped in cheese on the sides were yummy as well.

PANEER HARI MIRCH TIKKA - 3.5/5

Being a vegetarian restaurant, I was mentally prepared to try on different cottage cheese variants. Hari mirch tikka being one of them, was good. Not on the spicy side, it tasted more like pesto paneer tikka. A good dish.

PANEER CHILLY GARLIC TIKKA - 5/5

The presentation made it seem like a delicious fish preparation, but then I realised that this place is pure veg, but the dish was delicious nevertheless. Big succulent cottage cheese cubes, tossed in chilly garlic flavour, along with veggies like onions and capsicums. The taste was really good. Try it and you shall know.

PANEER BURNT CHILLY TIKKA - 4/5

Another paneer variant, this was somewhat like the regular paneer tikka we generally have. Tasty, yummy and may be. I said, may be healthy as well?

MUSHROOM STUFFED SOY CUTLET - 5/5

Never knew I would love mushroom so much( or is it cause I was relieved to get a break form paneer? ). This dish might have been the least presentable, but it was the tastiest. Two long cutlets, open at the sides so that you can see the inside fillings, served along with thick and yummy mayo. The chinese flavour given to mushroom and other chopped veggies was admirable, and it tasted all the more good with the mayo! Highly recommended!

MAINS consisted of,

AMRITSARI CHOLE KULCHAY -

Two warm kulchay, all crumpled up and topped with butter served along side a bowl of yummy amritsari style chole. A heavy greavy, filled with the finest quality of chole. It makes you wish yoi were a punjabi so that you can enjoy this everyday at your home!

THE UNNAMED DISH - 5/5

I apologize, really I do, but I was so engrossed in having this one that I forgot to ask its name, and even if they told me, I wouldnt have remembered, it was that tasty! A couple of long slabs of paneer and mixed vegetables gravy, served with a laccha paratha. The dish was simple, and I throughly enjoyed every single morsel of the entire laccha paratha with this sabji! Loved it, and you will love it too!

Moving form Indian to Italian, they serve live stone oven pizzas!

EXOTICA PREMIUM - 5/5

One of the most authentic and delicious pizza I ever had! It practically had every vegetarian topping known to man, except paneer ( for which I am eternal grateful to them! ). The pizza was a synonym  for perfect. Loaded with tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, jalepenos, olives, mushroom and a couple of more toppings which I may not be aware of. Not to forget more than 3 types of cheese, and what really made it so tasty is the thin and crunchy crust. It not only excludes the excessive taste of flour, but makes the pizza light so that you can enjoy some more of its goodness! DEFINITELY TRY IT GUYS!

BASILICO PESTO - 3/5

This pizza is what you will have if you are too serious about your diet and still wanna enjoy a pizza. Its filled with basil and other green 'stuff' and the pesto sauce makes it look all the more green. A perfect meal for the diet freak in you!

But honestly, I didnt enjoy it a bit.

Desserts, unfortunately, were not liked by me. They really made a great effort in introducing some new desserts and ditching the sizzling brownie and gulab jamun, but they were not enjoyable.

CHOCOLATE BROWNIE ENVASION - 2 big slices of brownie served along side a tiny scoop of vanilla icecream. I took a bite, and was not able to make out why didnt I like it. We all enjoyed the ice cream on the side though!

PURPLE GRASS UNDER WHITE LAND -

The name is too, too fancy for beetroot halwa. Yes, you are right, why would anyone have beetroot halwa for dessert. But thinking that this place is a family restaurant as well, and thinking about the elderly who dont prefer sweets, they would just love this one. It tastes purely of beetroot, and the orginal flavour without any sweetning agent is bitter- sweet. Crazy enough to experiment it? Sure, try it on, oh fearless foodie!

So URBO is the next big thing in Baner. With its awesome ambience, and being a vegetarian restaurant with bar, I suppose all the gujjus will be having their business meetings here it self!

Their pizzas are really top class and so are their starters and mains! Have fun guys, on the dance floor as well as the dining table!

Happy Burping!
