And All That Jazz - Shisha Cafe, ABC Farms

But of course, this is about jazz. And where else can you find a great jazz cafe in Pune but in ABC Farms?
Shisha (because of course, this is what I refer to) is a wooded getaway from the deathly traffic and unending trauma of the city. The minute you begin the walk up towards the entrance you start to feel at ease. The cafe is spread across quite a large area on the ground floor and there's a sort of terrace level that a narrow set of stairs leads to.
The trees and seating which is nicely spaced gives you the feeling of being separate from the other diners, and also lets a nice calmness settle over the whole area. They have live jazz performances at times, apart from which they play soothing jazz over the whole space, making the world slow down and allowing you to relax.
Best time to visit? After a particularly screwed-up day at work. Take a trip to Shisha and lean back in the tastefully dim lighting, allowing yourself to calm down.
And for nourishment of body (along with that of the soul) you can open their menu.
If you want comfort food, nothing can beat their lasagna. It's a beautifully created piece of comfort-food heaven. One serving allows two hungry people to eat and feel happy, satisfied and, if paired with a pitcher of beer between two, even full.
If you have the resources of a student, a visit here won't hurt you much (especially if you stick to the gorgeous lasagna and beer combo) and if you're working, then... Well... Indulge.
There's potential at Shisha for indulging shamelessly on food and drink as well as for keeping it simple. They don't serve only continental fare either. They have the tikkas and makhanis to satisfy the desi-food craving as well as your almost-global fare.
With cocktails, hard liquor and beer, and desserts that can satisfy any sweet tooth, Shisha is your go-to destination for winding down either after a hard day, or a hard week. And you can always just go to Shisha for the cosy, "let's cuddle" atmosphere on a winter evening.
