Maharashtra's shining culinary moment is a fury of Southeast Asian fantasticness; trying to choose one dish among the delectable stir-fries, noodles and curries – all strong on seafood, vegetarian options, chicken, duck and mutton – is futile. Dine alfresco under colourful tree lights and relish the spicy and intricate flavour cavalcade from star chefs reared on a Slow Food, stay-local philosophy.
Many of the ingredients used come from its own farm (50km from Pune; you can stay there, too). It's also a good spot for a drink, with creative cocktails (curry leaf and orange mojitos), craft beer, Indian wine and mead. Reserve ahead and starve yourself all day in preparation.
