Trikaya

Was hungry on the way home, wanted to catch some quick grub, and the power cut meant the Dominos was in the dark - and I ended up at the beautiful lounge cum restaurant, Trikaya, at the roof top of the Aditya Shagun Mall in Bavdhan, Pune.

With over 200 covers, spread in three sections of the sprawling, tastefully done restaurant, including a beautiful open air lounge, Trikaya also has a dedicated party floor for 300 guests. The menu spread is large and interesting, although a tad expensive. I did not get a chance to indulge in too much food, given that dinner was waiting back home - but the crab meat soup was delicious, and the grilled prawns with lemon basil were good, but the masala papad and the tandoori mushrooms disappointed. Service was OK, but definitely lacked the polished approach you would expect from such a do.

I will rate it extremely high for the ambience, and location of the building, but the empty mall, the lack of a staircase entrance, the service, the food and the price leaves a lot to be desired.

Will pay a couple more visits before I pronounce the verdict :) If you have been there already, do share your experience.

Footnote on 30th Oct: Extremely disappointing follow up visit today. See my update on this visit.
