On our previous visits to Pune, we dined extensively at Japanese restaurant Kinki on Balewadi High Street and Soy Como Soy at Kalyani Nagar, which offers Nikkei cuisine—both previously helmed by Chef Rohit Vishnani. So when we heard he’s turned entrepreneur with Tiger Naan in Koregaon Park, we were excited to put it up on our must-visit places to eat on our next trip to the Queen of Deccan.

Chef Vishnani’s Instagram hints at a fusion of modern tastes and comforting flavours. One afternoon, we visited to experience his reimagined cuisine—bold Indian flavours blended with Japanese techniques. The space features warm, breezy interiors with wooden accents, wicker furniture, and a green-tiled open-air area adorned with vibrant Manga-inspired lamps. Large tables dominate, making it perfect for families and groups.
