Hospitality

There has been a shift in lifestyle choices across all sectors. Fueled by the experience economy, delivering memorable experiences matters, and we at Urban Life Ventures are doing just that. We have made a mark by bestowing Pune with experiences like never before.

By the virtue of being a customer-centric brand, we craft experiences that appeal to every taste. Be it a regional and authentic cuisine experience with our Kerala Café or the nostalgia of old school gymkhana with LCR, we are always trying to create something unique. Expanding further, we plan ahead in the future, to bring forth niche experiences in the city.

THE LCR GYMKHANA

Law College Road

Inspired by the classic old-school Gymkhana experience, the LCR Gymkhana is an all-day restaurant. Featuring an Anglo-Indian palette, the menu includes some all-time favourites alongside classic cocktails. The LCR is a treat for the senses, where it serves everything, with the nostalgic bun maska and chai, variety of modern Indian dishes, Oriental and Italian cuisine, and a lot more.

Some evenings here are quite stimulating because of the live screening of sports or movies. Overall, it sports a warm and comfortable vibe and invokes a sense of belongingness for the patrons. The décor, ambience, menu, and experiences, all make it for a treasured place by all age groups.

KERALA CAFE

Kalyaninagar & Baner

The flagbearer of the cuisine of Kerala, the Kerala Café is a growing chain of restaurants in Pune and Mumbai. Serving the authentic culinary delights of Kerala, it makes for a part of the national trend of regionalisation and casualisation of fine dining.

It will journey you to the land of spices with its trademark recipes like Appams, fluffy Parottas, Fish Curries, and vegetarian meals served on a banana leaf. The winner of iconic awards like the Times Food & Nightlife Award for the Best South Indian Restaurant, Kerala Café is a reflection of the eclectic Malabar cuisine.

STEAKHOUSE BAR & GRILL

Kalyaninagar

Located in the heart of Kalyaninagar, Steakhouse Bar & Grill makes for an incredibly special place for intimate afternoons or fun evenings. A well-crafted beer garden and steakhouse, it offers a hearty menu complimented by a lively and welcoming vibe.

While Sunday brunch holds a special appeal, steak is our speciality featuring the choicest cuts, sizzles and seared to succulent sensation. Craft beers and fine cocktails are a highlight, with a delightful selection of gourmet burgers, pasta plates, and a lot more.

PAST HOSPITALITY ENDEAVOURS

MALAKA SPICE

Baner

Launched in 2013, Malaka Spice in Baner has been people’s favourite fine dining since then. Tucked away in the cosy lanes of Baner, this is frequented by corporates and residents alike.

With a gorgeous al fresco setting under a canopy of colourful lanterns, this place transports the guests into a world of peace and tranquility, like the Southeast Asian style. Revered as one of the most iconic restaurants, it dishes out the best of authentic Thai, Japanese, Malaysian, and Vietnamese cuisine along with some uniquely crafted cocktails.

FARZI CAFÉ

Kalyaninagar

Even though the word ‘Farzi’ has many connotations, at Farzi Café, it is only about creating a magnificent illusion. Nostalgia-soaked cocktails with a dramatic presentation, glamorous makeovers to Indian flavours, and modern techniques like molecular gastronomy, Farzi Café is quite an experience in itself.

Visually eye-pleasing and perfect for your taste buds, this restaurant focuses on blending the culinary art with the alchemy of modern cooking. This gourmet diner is a matchless experience of culinary presentations of global cuisine.

TAP ROOM

Baner

Inspired by the concept of a speakeasy, Tap Room by Malaka Spice is located in Baner. The rustic interiors, like the high chairs, large glass windows, and the views of the city skyline - reflect the taproom experience.

One can enjoy socializing with like-minded people while sipping on a variety of craft beers. Good music, an array of bar bites with other culinary treats, and a live screening for all sports fans, make this for a perfect hangout spot for all.

TVUM

Kalyaninagar

Tucked in the lanes of Kalyani Nagar, Tvum is a fine dine experience that nurtures and celebrates regional cuisine and eating practices. Derived from a Sanskrit word, the name literally translates to ‘you’, and brings forth unique flavours to the table.
