My TripAdvisor Review No.223: Tvum, Pune.

“A Celebration of the Diverse Cuisine of India.”
Reviewed 2 days ago
NEW
‘Tvum’ literally means ‘for You’. Tvum is a fine dining restaurant serving ‘Gracious Indian Cuisine’, as they call it, in one of the quiet bye lanes of Kalyani Nagar, Pune. It is just opposite the Jogger’s Park of Kalyani Nagar, and the restaurant provides valet parking. They serve vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian dishes, slow cooked in the traditional Indian way.

As you enter you are greeted by the receptionist who guides you to a suitable table if you have not made advance reservation. They have different seating areas on the ground and first floor levels. The ambience is that of a heritage Kerala cum Colonial mansion house with a small well lit lawn below and a layered sloping wooden roof on the first floor. There is a separate section for smokers and non-smokers. All the tables have candlelight to enhance the romantic ambience.

We got seating in the Gymkhana section, which included a bar. The waiter introduced himself with a placard which carried his name and photo. First we ordered the ‘Papad Platter’ which had an assortment of different types of papad. The ‘Chutney Platter’ had an assortment of different types of chutneys and pickles of India. After ordering ‘Bisi Bele Hulli Anna’, a rice dish with vegetables from the state of Karnataka, the waiter suggested we try the ‘Allepey Vegetable Stew’ with ‘appam’ from Kerala.

Drinking water was served from copper jugs, as it is supposed to contain vital minerals, which is good for the human body. Service was very courteous and friendly.
The menu card gives a brief description of each dish under its title. Rates are on the high side.

This restaurant is worth a visit to get a unique Indian fine dining experience.
