Karlo Art Kitchen Cafe - Pune

There are quite a few places which makes you fall in love at first sight only, Karlo is one of them. The restaurant not only gives you an experience of a lifetime but it also helps you to forget all your stress. The whole Bungalow has a unique positive vibe which enhances your mood and adds up a energy. The food you get here is Globally inspired as the Chef here has done her Education abroad and worked in a Michelin star restaurant and now came back to India to give us the same level of experience. The Food you get here is Influenced by all the global cuisine but the ingredients are all local so you get to taste same dishes with a local touch in it. There's a story behind every dish, some are inspired by travel, some by culture, with great ancient ingredients or a penchant for innovation. If you're die hard non vegetarian, I can undoubtedly say that you won't miss your meat after having food over here. The restaurant is actually an old bungalow which is then transferred into Portuguese, Goan themed rustic looking restaurant. They've done some minimal changes and converted the whole bungalow into a paradise. The rustic look appeals more and they've kept it very simple. Everything here talks and welcomes you with a story of their own. It's a complete package which will truly satisfy your needs. Let's get started with the main thing, Shall we? Mocktails: Dr. Apple Coastal Reverie Pom Pom On strict no sugar diet so didn't try anything but Dr. Apple was best as I heard from my friends) Soups: 1. Stewed Tomato I was blown away by the taste of this Soup. The flavor of tomato was so fresh and intense that it never felt that we are having something else. The texture of the soup was thick and it had the in depth flavor of the freshly stewed tomato. I mean this soup can not get better than this. If you love tomato soup then you should definitely try this. 2. Chewy Corn Broth Well, it was a watery broth which had lots of corn in it. The amount of corn was too much and it didn't feel good. I was expecting a lesser corn so it goes well with the watery broth. The broth was flavorful but the excessive use of corn ruined it. 3. Roasted Garlic This soup was on another level. If you love garlic then you must order it. The consistency was on the medium thick level and the broth was made up of roasted garlic. The dominant flavor of garlic was overwhelming. The balance of the two flavors was just perfect. 4. Warming Carrot Kaffir Lime This one was on a mild flavor. The texture of the broth was semi watery but the mildly sweet flavor of carrot was there. However, I didn't find the Kaffir lime taste in it. Salad: 1. Panzanella We do take a lot of time to click pictures but the salad was still holding all the flavors in it which was a commendable job. The salad had all the local ingredients like bright pepper, tomato, cucumber, red onion, black olives and chewy garlic croutons. The salad offered us a bit everything in flavors, it had the tanginess of fresh tomatoes with a slight sweet texture of onions and hint of pepper and garlic. It went perfectly with the garlic croutons. Starters 1. Bakarwadi Millet Chaat A chaat lovers pride. This dish can not go wrong. The chaat was plate was arranged perfectly and it was eye appealing good. The stuff was heavy though, it had all the needed flavors in it which a chaat must have. The chaat was crunchy and the flavors were perfectly balanced. 2. Butte ka kees panki Had this one first time. Its a fusion Tikki made out of spiced corn from Indore and lush Gujrati panki. It was fusion Tikki of rice flour panki and mashed spiced corn and was given with imli chutney. The texture of Tikki was good and had that slightly sweet taste of corn followed by floury thick texture. The chutney definitely enhanced the overall flavor and went well with the combination. Tandoor platter: The tandoor platter was colorful and truly satisfying to eyes. Lazeez Paneer Well, the spiced paneer didn't appeal to taste buds at all. The paneer was a bit hard and the marination only had the red chili in it. I tasted a dominant flavor of red chili only, nothing else. Brocode Literally it was bites of heaven. The mustard mix marination gave another level of taste to the tandoored broccoli. The marination was thick and it really helped the overall flavor and enhanced the taste. Veggie Seekh Kebabs Veg seekh kebab was good. It didn't taste dry at all and I actually loved the veg version of seekh kebab. Baby Potatoes Baby potatoes coated in mild herb salsa marination and finished in tandoor. The coating was done perfectly which had char flavor to it with slightly burnt edges and the inner side was soft and gooey like it suppose to be. Magic mushrooms It was a bomb of juicy heaven. The marination was on some another level as it complimented the mushrooms perfectly. The marination coating was thick which gave us a two different taste. First, we had the secret recipe marination which I'm still yet to find and then the juicy mushroom. Tapas 1. Sev Tamatar Pintxos Too much of single element ruins the whole dish. This happened here, roasted cherry tomatoes smeared onto toast and topped with sev. The cherry tomato had a dominant flavor which overpowered everything. First I had the bite of toast then till the end, I tasted the only tomato. The overdominant flavored ruined the actual dish for me. Eggplant roll ups A gem of a dish. Highly recommended if you'll ever visit Karlo. I find out the eggplant thing when the Pr told me about it. I had no idea that the gooey soft roll thing was made up of eggplant. The roll was stuffed with walnut studded creamy minty labeneh. It was too good, the gooey soft roll introduced us to the minty creamy sauce which had slight bits of pomegranate too which added a hint of sweetness to it. The overall sauce was an ocean of flavors. Main Course: Koomu Curry It's a delicacy from the Famous region of Coorg. The curry was made up of freshly grated coconut, mushrooms, tart tomatoes and caramelized onions. It was served with soft Appams. The curry had a thick texture but the taste was really good. It had the floury taste of coconut I guess with the tanginess of tomatoes and a sweet hint of onions. Overall a good curry to go with appam. Overall Verdict My experience was pretty good. However, The service part was a bit slow and I can understand as it takes time to settle down in this area. The waiter should ask everyone at least for water. I will definitely visit the restaurant again and try their other things.
