At the outset, I have seen this place gathering large number of people everyday when I used to go to the Gym or return from Gym. So, the ambience from main road itself looks very cute. Seems really welcoming. It almost took me months, a really long time to finally visit them. So in February I could manage to visit this place and guess what really worth it. Trust me Flawless in almost all aspects.
1. Location : This is on the crowded streets of Aundh, Nagras Road. This location is right next to WA Tech Wabag Company. Prime location we can say. Adjacent to Cognizant, Westend Mall and other software companies too. So for location they score 4.5/5. Good location. Welcoming for Baner, Aundh and PCMC too.
2. Item Tried : Breakfast buffet. So when they just begun with Breakfast Buffet, I planned and finally thought to go there. It was saturday morning and so instead of going for diner we went for breakfast. We tried their wide range on South indian as well as English breakfast. This place is vegetarian and serves really delicious food. We tried Medu wada, Batate wada, Idly, Cut Dosas, Uttapa, wide range of special exotic Chutneys, Pohe, Upeet, Sandwiches, few seasonal fruits and finally ended with a cup of coffee.
3. Recommends : They have mind blowing ranges in Chutneys and these Chutneys can be tried with Dosa / Idly / Uttapa / Any Wada. Chutney are in Green, White and Red colored powdered chutney as well as the liquid runny one. I loved their sandwiches more than anything else. Really good.
4. Food taste : Really good. Those Dosa / Idly / Uttapa / Any Wada were really made tasty. Batate wada had tinge of giners-garlic-udid daal. That made it really good. Typical medu wada from the south is always yummy. They were good at this too. Now cut dosa is slightly difficult but they excelled in it. Uttapa was a little more thick than what we usually have tried so far. Those chutneys they served were so so so typical South Indian and yummmmm! I can go there again and again for only chutney and idlys. a healthier breakfast. Also, about the sandwiches. Oh god! Now see, the entire taste of any sandwich will lie in its chutney. So if they have amazing chutney the outcome of sandwiches is even more tastier. They stuffed sandwich with Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Onion and then toasted a little. Normally, my palate burns with toasted things but this sandwich was certainly exceptional man! Really nice. Fruits looked fresh, perhaps did not ry because of the other available delicacies. Upeet and Pohe were good and here I will not say really that good and delicious but yes Pohe is something that is good when my Mom does it. The entire taste lies in the art of how long to soak the pohe. Else they r either dried or turn to a rice. So these were a little dry but its OK. If other things are top-notch this hardly matters. So overall food ratings are 4.2/5.
5. Service : Speaking with the hosts we realized that they are South Indians although spoke Marathi really well. May be they were in their late 50's both, the host couple and were extremely welcoming, modest and took care of each person siting personally. I could also figure out that those people visiting this place are frequent visitors since they were clicking pictures in a very friendly way with the owners nicely mixing with the visiting family / guests. I got those really welcoming vibes from them. This behavior replicated on equally polite staff. Courteous staff and owners will always drag more and more customers and here's the perfect example. They get 4.8/5 for that gracious service.
6. Price : Well, today I am honestly not able to recollect the prices of buffet breakfast but it was approximately per head 200 - 250 rupees per person. In way not OK. Overall ratings for price will be given after I visit for diner.
7. Ambience : Beautiful décor. They have cute and very sweet walls decorated with frames. Light colored walls give a very soft and pleasant mood. This relaxed ambience of the cocktail lounge is popular with guests and also retaining the customers. I am sure to visit this place again and again for dinner, breakfasts, lunches and all meals. Beautiful spirit and nice environment will therefore rate them 4.8/5.
8. Lastly, Overall ratings : Summing it up to 4.6/5.
PS : I am sure to visit this place again very soon after this Quarantine gets off.
Amazing food experience with greens and olives , will give your taste buds a whole together good experience.The broccoli cheese soup is a must have delicacy.
I have absolutely loved coming to Greens and Olives. Authentic Italian and Mexican food served is really a delight to taste buds. Broccoli cheese soup, sizzlers and platters are too good. Will miss this restaurant after leaving Pune.
