Malaka Spice

Top choice in Nashik


This excellent branch of Pune's best restaurant is hands-down the most scenic spot to dine in Nashik wine country, with postcard-perfect views across Vallonné Vineyard, Lake Mukane and the dramatic Sahyadris mountains beyond. Tack on a cavalcade of Southeast Asian flavors and a Slow Food, stay-local philosophy and it all adds up to a dining destination worth travelling for.
