visited this place based on it's unbelievable rating of 4.9 on zomato and it also falls in close vicinity :)
since we visited @8 pmish, we got easy parking and had no issues with it as that was the major concern raised by many friends.
this place is located on 5th floor with some excellent ambience. 
ordered chicken shawarma kebab, bruschetta, asian roasted chicken in starters & peri peri fries. in cocktails we had red mule & becks beer for the first time along with imli soda.
chicken shawarma is one of best dish i had in many months. i can visit this place just to have this dish again. bruschetta was okay (slightly less salted though) & asian chicken sauce was reallygoodyou can have, chicken was slightly dry (scope for improvement). peri peri fries isgoodas you get.
red mule was slightly tasting bitter due to some reason. imli soda was slightly was spicy.
we had buddha bowl with paneer tikka combination on the day of buddha purnima :) it was a unique combination & very much relished it. something different than usual business. the chicken main course was stuff chicken parmigiana with chicken breast piece stuffed with cheese & cooked to perfection with noodles & salad.
the service & staff was very friendly & courteous. 

overall it was agoodexperience & something different with some new versions of dishes after many days.

a superior level of food comes to kothrud
a modern bistro serves just perfect gourmet food from across global cuisine. located conveniently at erandwane, a plush tall building branded by the takshshila group of hotels. you will find level 5 just above - new kalinga veg.
a very cozy woody ambiance is very reminiscent of old english era. the place is spacious and is perfect for big groups and families. the dim lighting and soft music makes it a hot spot for couples as well.i personally liked the combination of brown and white tones around, very rustic yet classy. posters of different destinations of the world such as rome, paris etc can be seen on the walls adding to the artistic feature. glass windows with wooden frames and natural green view from it makes the atmosphere quite refreshing and comfortable. the walls are done aesthetically with brick lamination and lamps hung from the ceiling are quite picturesque.the dessert counter at the entrance is very smartly placed. a live bar counter at situated in a corner suits the entire ambiance.

the most special quality about this place is its food. precision and presentation at its best.almost everything i had was flawless but let me begin with the special mentions. something you must not miss by any chance

#special_mentions.

1) passion fruit cocktail - very thoughtful of trying this. its a thick yet smooth blend of vodka that's infused passion fruit. crushed green chillies add to the extra zing. the result is an incredible blend! loved the mixology of sweet fruit and spicy chillies. totally my kind of drink.

2) the seafood chowder - a soulful soup that will transit you to the divine. i totally loved every sip of it.the moment this was placed in front of me, i knew it was gonna be amazing as it filled the place with its soothing aromas. a creamy super-soft soup comes in a bun bread bowl. yes the most attractive thing about this is the presentation. served in freshly homemade bun garnished with a shrimp.dip the bread in the soup and finish the soup with the bread. this soup is a treasure mix of squids, prawns, baby octopus and fish. potatoes and sweet corn contribute starch and sweetness to the soup. a hot herby soup that is a satisfying and hearty meal. #avery_strong_recommendation

3) pork ribs( 4 hour pork ribs) - for me this is the ''superstar dish at level 5'' #fantabulously_mesmerising_pork. rarely in pune will you find such a gem that will satisfy your craving of a perfectly cooked pork. gorge this with your eyes and wait till it melts in your mouth. a burst of spicy caramelized flavors will leave you hankering for more.the bone falling off the meat is a significance of perfection that has been aced by the chef. along with this your plate comes with a dash of green sauce thats perfect to go with the pork and caramelized onions wit cinnamon and star anise that compliments the balance completely. have this and thank me later. #mustmusthave

4) signature pizza - creamy spinach, caramelized onion and feta - 12 inch thin crust pizza that is crispy and wowoliciously delicious.i'am not a pizza person and even then if this is on my list of special mentions then it must be really worth a try. its not like your normal heavy dose pizza, its light and crunchy and the the minimalist toppings make it a perfect appetizer to go with drinks. #dotryit

5) level 5 gourmet ice-cream - if you have had the best of natural ice-creams and yet feel something missing go have this.their ice-creams are simple yet the best one ive this season. they serve handmade liquor ice-creams that are swanking in fantastic flavors. the one i tasted was the rum and raisins ice-cream - loaded with the goodness of rum thats outstanding. a very strong flavor that will keep lingering in your mouth for long. #musthave

apart from the above we also enjoyed some great food that was coming quickly one after the other.

fried calamari - a simple dish with a great taste. crumb fried calamari served with a mayo dip. crunch crunch all the way. its an unstoppable snack,goodto go with your drinks. the quantity you see in the pic below is actually half of the actual one.

kerala style chicken -( chef spl menu) - a typical southern style dish with a lot of omph. big red chillies, lots of roasted coconut and curry leaves leave an unending impression. lipsmackinglygoodsukka chicken cooked to perfection again. one look at it and you will start to feel hungry again. #dontmissit

chicken steak burger (rs 350) - huge and grumpy- fully loaded burger with- no - not a patty- its real chicken steak inside juicy and succulent. crispy lettuce in layers with chicken and gooey yellow cheddar cheese add to the glory of this burger. the entire dish with two side salads , and french fries is a complete brunch for a single person.a complete guilty pleasure.
p.s - the smoked tomato sauce is a golden hat to this dish #maddening

chocolate bomb- a dark chocolate sphere topped with goodness of berry compote. polished this off with chilled vanilla icecream and whipped cream. #fantasticdessert

while we were enjoying the food i noticed the swelling crowd on a weekday. the service was commendable not only at our table but also the other tables, the food looked beautiful and people were having a merry time. the owner herself looks into customer service and delight. i found her to be very compassionate towards the restaurant and the food which is under her scrutiny. i had a great time and will be back to try more stuff from the menu. i so wanna try the octopus.

p.s - must check the fully automated parking space. the technology is definitely worth a watch. applauds to the master mind behind this. it accommodates more than 80 cars. customers can visit this place without any fear of parking issues.

very tasty food and reallygoodpackaging.........

this restaurant is one of the best in this area, offering delicious food with the perfect ambiance.

coming to the food, we ordered the following:

peach mint slushie- a perfect mocktail to beat the heat this summer.

creamy spinach, caramelized onion, and feta pizza- the thinnest and crunchiest pizza with the perfect toppings. what more could you ask for?

veg mexican burger -a perfect gourmet burger and definitely agoodvalue for your money. highly recommended.
i can’t wait to visit this place again for their burgers. 

overall, a must-visit 😊

level 5,

as the name, like is the place....5 stars to level 5!

a restaurant for family with twist to the regular desi menu choice. you get here almost of the international cuisines.

we had chicken banjara kabab, chicken manchurian (dry), paneer tikka pizza, italian cassata semifredo

chicken banjara kebab, we expected it to be roasted, but likely this was boiled before roasting, not my type. kebabs aregoodif are roasted, though still tender to eat. little disappointed!

chicken manchurian (dry) just the perfect one i could have got! perfect blend of the soy sauce with other ingredients! you should definitely go for it!

well, not to only have starters, so ordered p.t.p (paneer tikka pizza) thin crust, 12". another great choice with thin crust. it works well when you still want to pamper your taste buds with delicious paneer tikka, and not just full up eating bread.

last and the most awaited, what we also see trending on instagram, we ordered italian cassata semifredo.

truly lip smacking experience!

recommended, do visit!

thanks to caiptan narsing he suggested usgoodand tasty food

amazing food! definitely visit this place, you won't regret it. best food in pune i've tasted so far, and have been to many places. everything was on point, from the hummus to the dumplings, loved the cocktails as well. cosy ambience, great service andgoodvalue for money.

starters
1) mezeh platter - the highlight of the evening for me. hummus, feta cheese and beetroot falafal was great

2) smokey cottage cheese - wasgoodbut way too overpowered by the clove and cardommon, left a strong after taste.

3) classic cheese pull apart - was tasty but smaller than my expectation

4) wild mushroom soup - no salt and garlic - seemed a rushed preparation of just cooked and mashed mushrooms

5) dessert tiramisu - wasgoodbut how do you eat without a spoon?

2 floors -
5th floor:- a lot more noisy and chaotic loud music. dark negative energy and drowsy drunken. it seems like people want to hide from other people in that crowd and darkness and hence choose level 5 :).
4th floor :- ambience is inviting. great for a group dinner with friends or family. much more positive feel than the negative dark pub bar feel upstairs.
service was lousy. it might be because of low staff availibility. even shortness of cutlery and again slow service.
no soup spoons or dessert spoons.

food could have been better.
for a place that serves almost all dishes/cusines from half the globe it was as if cooking was rushed, even though there were only around 20 25 people on the whole 4th floor.

it's still a 7 out of 10 for me.
