IT hub of Pune, Hinjawadi, attracts youth across nation to work for IT Giants. Hence there is always demand for hotels serving good food and entertain your great mood. Let me take you through our gastronomic adventure at Tarsh. We opted 4 Starters as : Smoked Fish Pomfret : 4 pieces of Pomfret were pleasure for tastebuds. Fish was very fresh and blended with perfect spices. Smokey feel of fish was mesmerizing. Jhinga Koliwada : We wanted to have Prawns but not in regular variants like beer batter, pan fried. Here we tried Jhinga Koliwada. Prawns tasted lovely with this distinct twist of flavors. Dish was presented nicely with salad. Tangdi Butter Garlic : Name of this dish caught my attention and we ordered it. After say 20 minutes, this dish came simply to surprise us. For sure it was a treat for eyes and for palates too. The thick gravy they gave with this prep was something unique I have came across. Murg Peshawari tikka : One of my foodie friend insisted to order this dish. When I had the first bite, I could feel the blast of flavors and spices together. Spice level was exactly as desired. Trivia : They have interesting green and red chutney which one shouldn't miss. Starters made a spectacular mark on us. While deciding for mains, we had Indian theme in mind. Hence our choice of mains was completely Indian. Mutton Rogan Josh : I enjoyed Mutton Rogan Josh. One of the best I have tasted ever. Flavors of spices made this dish really fascinating and I am not exaggerating my friends. Mutton was very fresh and cooked as desired. I remember having 3 4 spoons of Gravy without roti. Chicken Matka : I felt that due to Mutton, I couldn't give due justice to Chicken Matka. However I liked this dish too. : Main course also included Jeera rice , plain Roti, Garlic Naan. All three items were served as desired. Desserts : Sizzling browny with ice cream : Browny served was moist from the core as desired. Presentation was done very nicely. Browny went well with vanilla ice cream. Moong Daal Halwa : Though we were full by now, we agreed to taste a small portion of Halwa considering recommendation from Manager Mr. Jakson. Halwa was great in texture. Exact replica of what we make at home. Rabdi Jalebi : This is one preparation where most of the places flunk. Sweetness of Rabdi should be balanced. Rabdi should be thick not watery. These are two difficult things to maintain. Making crisp dollar Jalebi is relatively easier. Jalebi should be optimally sweet so that it complements the Rabdi to offer a nice experience when had together. Tarsh was successful to offer us the finest Rabdi Jalebi. To summarize my food safari, I would mention that in my view Tarsh has got great potential to win hearts through food quality, presentation, ambience and hospitality.

One floor is set for thanks and another is for ala carte offerings. Kothimbir wadi A preparation which can be part of meal or tea time snacks. Freshly fried pieces of Kothimbir wadi tasted great. The core part was also fried neatly and had balanced moist texture too. This is something that is gained after a lot of practice. Suralichi wadi One of the special Maharashtrian Gujarathi receipe. It takes a lot of iterations to carve out this gem. Mixture of tram flour, coariander and tadka are the ingredients. Evenly spread gram flour on a surface then cutting rolling it up with minimal breakage/wastage is an ordeal. Practice makes it possible, no doubt. It tasted lovely. Tandoori Manchurian I was curious to try Tandoori version of Manchurian. Outer surface was dry and sprinkled with masala. Inner portion was soft and moist as expected. It's a nice combination in veg section where tandoori variants are limited. Rawdi Paneer Tikka One of the best paneer starters I have had. The secret spice used for this dish will always attract me. Very well marinated supersoft paneer. Loved it. Raaga Special Maharashtrian Thali Thaali had typical Marathi recepies like Pithala, Maasvadi plus Bhendi fry. All receipes taste homely as spices used were mild and not overpowering taste. Chapati was served hot as required. Raaga Special veg It had 2 vegetables with red and green gravy. Mix veg was in red gravy and the green one was Palak Paneer. Both were good preparations. Dal Makhni Mild, flavorful daal was lovely. Went well with roti and rice too. Paneer Biryani : Biryani served had nice portions of marinated paneer. Liked the fine lng grains of rice with desired quantity of masala. Desserts Amrakhand : This was another surprise. It was a in house preparation. Presence of minute chunks of curd in amrakhand is a differentiator. It acts a a taste enhancer for me. Use of sugar was moderate. Usually amrakhand is made like a sugar bomb at most of the places I have visited. The ones with excess sugar get a glossy appearance. Ukdiche Modak One of the best I have had ever at any hotel. The covering was done nicely and carefully. It's not an easy job to keep coating intact after filling and steaming Modak. This was a Showstopper from my food experience at Raaga. Something I would love to come back for. Fruit custard with ice cream : Nicely done. Custard had right amount of sugar. Enjoyed having this after a long time. My experience at Raaga was great. I will make sure to visit Raaga again in near future. Adress Raaga Thali Pure Veg Restaurant. Chinchwad Station, Chinchwad.
