The High Spirits, 35A/1 North main
road, Koregaon park, Pune
Till now, we have reviewed restaurants serving speciality, themebased or contemporary menu.
This time we thought of visiting a place which is not one of the above. It’s a well-known party place. High Spirits is already known for its amazing flares in spirits and cocktails. So a perfect sample to try out their food. The place has an ample amount of options from Chinese and Indian to continental. A new menu introduced in continental seems fascinating. We tried Buffalo Style Chicken Wings, Tempura Shrimps, and Multani Mushrooms. Buffalo Style Chicken Wings were very soft, juicy and the covering tasted well. Mushrooms, filled with cheese and cooked in tandoor, was also delcious. But, their mention in the menu about Tempura Shrimps – Japanese crisp secret batter - did not support what we were served. But the amount, quality and size
of shrimps are worth mentioning. For mains we tried out Vegan Pizza and Hunters Rustic Chicken. Pizza didn’t turn out to be well. The vegetables were raw, the amount of cheese and the base sauce were little. The sauce and the mashed potato in the chicken tasted well, the chicken though was rubbery. It should have been seared and braised so that the meat retains the juice and prevents it from becoming rubbery The ambience is at its best, along with the service. Visiting High Spirits and not ordering any spirits amounts to doing injustice to the place. Jacks Love was my choice and I loved it a lot! All in all no need to take a look at the mains, as the
bar snacks are very well planned out. The portions are good and pricing average. After all, very few guests go for the main dishes, otherwise spirits, music and thumps is all that matters here. For me, food still remains on the top spot!
MY OVERALL RATING: 5/10
