Its almost dark; Overcast Sky; Thunder, Winds and Rain; lights go off (so typical of Pune a bit of wind, a hint of rain and the electricity fails); a depressing evening. My daughter says: Lets go to Polka Dots. Its nearby and my friends tell me its good!



So we land up at Polka Dots a cute little eating place on DP Road near Parihar Chowk in Aundh, Pune.



The caf (I wouldnt call it a restaurant) is on the side of a house, the seating well covered, the cooking area open and airy.



Its a multicuisine eatery and the menu is confusing it features vignettes of all types of cuisine so one cant really classify the genre of this eating place so we order a Roast Chicken Lyonnaise for my daughter, a Chicken Corden-Bleu (I suspect the spellings may be wrong but thats how they spell it!) for me and a Mexican Corn & Jalapeno for my vegetarian wife.



The Chicken Corden Blue is excellent succulent breast of chicken in a bed of mint flavored mashed potatoes drenched in delicious sauce is exquisite. The Chicken Roast is scrumptious reminds me of the Roast Chicken I used to relish at the Sassanian Boulangerie near Metro in Mumbai. My son devours a Shepherds Pie I taste a bit its wholesome, nourishing and delicious. My wife tells me that the vegetarian corn and jalapeno was excellent too.



If you love a potpourri of cuisine from around the world, try the place; you may find it a bit expensive, but its okay once in a while. The crowd is young and the ambience is lively. And do let me know if you liked the place.
