Sky Garage, Pune
The Basics - Spacious, quick service, very easy to get tables, dingy and dark, average food, LCD screen to watch cricket matches, 700-800 for two without alcohol.
The Address - Nanasaheb Gaikwad IT Park, above Chroma, ITI Road, Aundh, Pune.
The Verdict - Go only for the biryani and milkshakes
One would think that Sky Garage has everything going for it. It is in a beautiful location and has a splendid view. But look carefully and you realize that the swanky building it's located in is just a farce.
Sky Garage is dingy and can come across as cheap. A hookah bar-cafe, it is dimly lit and empty. Car number plates from around India and some parts of the world decorate the walls and various car parts jut out from different corners of the spacious, rooftop room. A large screen hangs to a corner where only cricket matches are screened. It is over-staffed and doesn't attract the crowds during the day or early night. It comes alive when the rest of the city shuts.
It is perhaps safest to order their Chicken tikka biryani (Rs. 200) and nothing else. The biryani is made of basmati rice, and comes with a chicken tikka curry in the center of the bowl, surrounded by rice. Mix well, and dig into it. It is medium spicy and the quantity is large. It comes with a small bowl of raita.
If you're really craving a starter the Chicken Kalimiri won't disappoint. It is peppery and the meat soft and juicy. Yet Sky Garage is best known for its milkshakes. Their chikku chocolate milkshake and chocolate milkshake are both thick, creamy and overall, rich.
While they do have a bar, I never tried their cocktails to give my opinion here. A pint of beer costs Rs 170, which is slightly on the more expensive side.
Don't expect much from here. The service may be quick and the waiters attentive but that is usually not the only thing that counts towards a successful restaurant. It used to be popular in its heyday but it has lost its charm and sits quiet now.
What's hot - Chicken tikka biryani and chikku chocolate milkshake
