Orion Botanical Rooftop & Bar - Pune

This newly opened rooftop in Baner can surely boost your party vibes high. It welcomes you with a great decor and amazing lighting atmosphere. They have an ample seating area to cater every kind of group. Moreover they have a separate dance floor downstairs. We started our visit with a few cocktails.My personal favourite was Green Gin Giant which had a composition of Gin and Cucumber. It was moderately strong and tasted good. Bartender Suraj really made some great cocktails and also customized it as per our requirements which I liked. Orion offers a wide range of food items . We also had a variety of starters and some of my favorites were : ?Banno ke Kebab : Chicken Breast stuffed with cheese and char grilled in tandoor. It was cut into slices and served with onion slices. ?Dahi Kebab : It tasted really good. It was basically mildly flavoured dahi tikkis fried in ghee. ?Spinach Shahi Honey Shrimps : My fav dish of the day . Garlic butter tossed prawns served with spinach and honey. #highlyrecommended ?Golden Fried Chicken : A whole chicken breast stuffed with gooey spicy cheese. It tasted delectable and was scrumptious too. The other starters included Thai Fish Cake, Orion Special Kebabs, Char Grilled Prawns, Gong Bao Mushrooms, Korean Broccoli and Fish Basil Tikka. All had their individual flavours and taste and tasted really nice. Then a light main course comprised our dinner which included Khow Suey, French Style Poison and Moroccan Tajin. The French Style Poison was the star dish. It had steamed fish served with mashed potatoes , rice and vegetables. And how can a meal be complete without desserts. Chef Aloke made lip smacking desserts which had a Cheesecake, Red Velvet Cake and a Chocolate Mousse. All the 3 were just finished within a blink of an eye. Located in the bust streets of Baner this place is surely a tough competition for others in terms of its ambience and food. Would surely love to visit here again.

I visited this rooftop place with some of my friends on a weekend and had a wonderful evening. The place was well Liit and the staff service was on point. This place offers, under sky dining experience with the following of all the guidelines. The ambiance of the place was great and the live music was very much soothing and vibrant with its vibe. The crowd at the place was also decent and the staff service was commendable. Initially, we started with the drinks and we enjoyed Spicy Maiden (Guava juice-based mocktail) and LIIT (cocktail). Both the drinks were refreshing and they had a great punch in them. . In Food, we enjoyed Tandoori paneer tikka, BBQ chicken wings, and French fries. The paneer was very well marinated and had good taste. The chicken wings were perfectly coated with the sauce and had a very subtle taste. The fries were crispy and they were served with tomato ketchup. . In Dessert, we were overwhelmed by the Choco cigar rolls. Their quantity was good (5 No.) and the taste was absolutely tasty. The rolls were filled with the molten sweet chocolate from the inside and the crunchy texture on the outside.

This place has mesmerized me by its amazing decor and delectable food. This is a rooftop restaurant. The ambience would give you a soothing atmosphere. They have an ample seating capacity. They have a separate dance floor downstairs. The service is very fast. Their Music System is excellent. Started with some cocktails out of which I liked the Te-Kiwi. It had a natural taste of kiwi and it was very refreshing. Bartender Suraj prepared some amazing cocktails. In Starters: ◾Banno ke Kebab: Chicken Breast was stuffed with cheese, grilled in tandoor and cut into slices. It was served with onion and cherry tomato. It looked very appealing. ◾Thai Fish Cake: It was properly cooked and taste of fish enhanced its flavor. ◾Dahi Kebab: Kebabs were very soft and it tasted really well. It looked attractive and served with cherry tomato. ◾Char Grilled Prawns: Prawns were grilled and served in sticks. It was fun to eat and its taste was really good. It came with 5 pieces. ◾Spinach Shahi Honey Shrimps: Prawns tossed with garlic, butter and served with honey and spinach. This is a must try dish. ◾Golden Fried Chicken: Chicken breast was stuffed with cheese and was fried till golden brown. It was cooked well and crispy outside. In Main Course, I tried Khow Suey, French Style Poison, Moroccan Tajin. I liked the French Style Poison a lot. The fish was perfectly steamed and served with mashed potatoes and other veggies. Ended the meal with some Desserts. Cheese Cake, Chocolate Mousse and Red Velvet Cake were delicious. I would like to give the credit to Chef Aloke. Overall, I had an excellent experience. This place is meant for big groups, families and also for couples. Follow @hunger_above_mind on Instagram for more food feeds!

I have been here thrice now. Really liked the place. They have scrumptious food options. And you are definitely gonna love the way they serve you, plating is wonderful, which gives you the first impression about the dish you have been served. The staff is very cooperative polite. They also organise live music, comedy shows on some specific days. Place is a bit congested though and they do not have a dedicated dance floor. Enjoy your visit

‘Orion Botanical Rooftop Bar’ or I’d rather say Orion 2.0 version is definitely one of the best rooftop bar in town. It’s swankiest than the old Orion and it’s got much more cooler. I was there on a Sunday evening so this place was already giving me sundowner vibes. Coming on to their food, their food and drinks never disappointed me before so I kinda hoping the same this time. They serve some really amazing cocktails. I was really amazed by variety of cocktails they offer. and was quite fascinated by such drinks. I have tried couple of them like Smoking fear, Summer Fling, Te Kiwi, Green Gin Giant, Red Headed Slut, Surfer on Acid and Tropical Sangria but my picks are Tropical Sangria and Green Gin Giant (totally based on my preference of alcohol). And after some boozy cocktails it was time to try out some food. They have done a really good upgrade in their menu in terms of variety of food that they have added recently. You just can’t get enough of it and also there were few items in the menu which were new to me too and I was really intrigued to try them out. So let’s start with their appetizers. The first one and also my favourite one was ‘Thai Fish Cake’ which literally melted in my mouth the moment I took the first bite. Subtle flavours and little crispy is what these fish cakes tasted like. Would definitely recommend this one.‘Fish basil tikka’ was another my fav one (yes I am a seafood lover  ) as the Basa fish cooked in basil sauce in Vietnamese style along with Indian spices. ‘Dahi Kebabs’ on the other hand was just average as it could have been softer rest the taste was good. Then there was ‘Gong Bao Mushrooms’ , ‘Korean Broccoli’ and both of them had a good taste. Apart from that their ‘Rosemary Chicken Wings’ were simply scrumptious and one could literally tell that just by the glaze it had when it was served. And ‘Banno Kebab’ which was made from tender chicken breast and stuffed with cheese, marinated and cooked in Indian spices and later grilled in tandoor had that perfect smoky flavour. Last but not the least ‘Spinach Shahi Honey Shrimp’ which simply won my heart. Not because of the spinach which I totally hate but the way they cooked prawns which were garlic butter tossed and served on a soft bed of spinach and honey soya mix, made me totally love them. And henceforth their appetizers did their job very well and made me tempt to try their main course which already sounded interesting to me. ‘French Style Poison’ was my ultimate fav because I haven’t tried something like that before. This was basically made from fish where they have served steamed basa along with green and pink mashed potatoes. It looked really colourful when it was served and the pink, green mashed potatoes were new to me. I simply loved this dish. Another one was ‘Moroccan Tajin’ which again was new to me but little did I know about Tajin that it basically involves process of cooking meat in a soupy way by boiling it for good amount of time along with other vegetables. It was moreover the same where the classic lamb stew was served with quinoa and vegetables. It had a mild, rich taste. I loved both of their main courses but French style poison is my pick. And just when I thought that I’m full already, I saw some of delectable desserts in their menu and couldn’t resist myself to try them out. I have tried their ‘Chocolate Mousse’ which looked beautiful as the glaze of chocolate was enough to tempt anyone. The another one and my fav one was their ‘Red Velvet Cake’ which was heavenly. So far one of the best red velvet in town and I’m really not a red velvet person but this was goddamn delicious. Definitely something you should try.I’m glad I didn’t miss out on their desserts and even though I was full, I decided to try them and made my tummy happy. So, to sum up my experience, this place has totally lived up to my expectations. I’d highly recommend this place

The second you enter the place you immediately feel a weekend vibe going on cuz the interior, the sitting and the roof top really gets you happy vibe going you know! Some cool neon signs to click selfies with, some secluded booths in case if you want to have really chill time with your closest friends. Let's talk about their food shall we? Things that really impressed me are... Food Menu Veg 1. Wild Mushroom Parcel with Basil Couli - This was too good that I actually went there few days later and had the same thing again. The pocket 2. Paneer Angara Medium spicy starter. Well Marinated, tender and you don't feel like going for the side dish, yeah it's that good. 3. Rosemary Wings - Perfectly cooked cooked rosemary infused wings which are favorite among low carb family. 4. Chicken bulldog - This for the record I had the longest cheesepull in my history of cheesepulls,. ? Even people at the other tables started staring at us ?. This had gravy which went really well with boneless chicken bits and that cheese pretty much made my day. 5. Chocolate Cigars rolls - Crispy finger long rolls which I'm pretty sure had Nutella inside, had me just close my eyes and drool ?. Let's rate this place shall we? Ambience 5/5 Food 5/5 Vfm 5/5 Overall 5/5

Good place, a little small for my taste. But they have managed well in the space that's available. Staff is friendly and customer centric. The washrooms were the only downer. They need to be cleaned frequently. Food and cocktails are a definite plus. Ambience is good and post 10:30 the DJ certainly makes the atmosphere electric. All in all, do visit this place once to experience the atmosphere and have a good time.

Tasty starters and main course. Good drinks and deserts. Great ambience and service. A little expensive.
