Dinner at Flying Duck Pune

Published May 8, 2016

First visit to the much spoken about Flying Duck Pune and it was a good one. Had been hearing about this eatery for quite a while now, thanks to photos and reviews all over social media so a visit was in order.

We made plans to visit on a Tuesday, only to realise they’re closed that day, and eventually went on a Thursday. It’s a small joint with 6 tables and a seating capacity of around 24 but one thing is for sure – whether weekday or weekend, better make a reservation to avoid any disappointment if you just land up there hoping to get a table.

That slip, which is time-stamped when issued, allows you a grand total of FIVE MINUTES in which you have to pick up the passengers, load their luggage, and head out of the airport premises.

The Lunchbox from Khanabadosh Pune

Published February 11, 2016

Over the past few weeks, we’d been seeing this flyer of Khanabadosh Pune and were somewhat intrigued – by the name as well as the menu on offer. I vaguely recall coming across the name last year but maybe they weren’t in the neighbourhood back then and I didn’t come across any mention either.

Nowadays, all newspapers come with a bunch of various pamphlets and flyers shoved in – right from some tuition classes to furniture sale, food delivery, standard restaurant menus, broadband plans etc, so this was quite an interesting change.
