Restaurant Review: Dravida's Bistro, Dhole Patil Road, Pune

So, after peeling myself away from the India-Pak match, we reached Dravida's Bistro. 1st up, the overall decor of the place is beautiful. Its quirky and chilled out, with comfy sofas and all.
Well, based on the recommendations we (wife, mom and I) decided to go in for the "Grand Sadhya Thali" which is a 5 course meal containing 27 different items. And it was a revelation.
Dravida's Bistro is all about clean, organic cooking. And the 5 course meal takes you through a culinary journey that will clean your entire system, and leave you feeling full, but not stuffed.
The whole meal is served on a banana leaf, taking the experience to a whole different level.

Course 1: Juices - there were 5 different types of juices, including a mixed vegetable, a kaju coconut, and a brown rice one. "Cleansing" was what it did.

Course 2: Salads: Very tasty, small servings which meant that even a salad hater like me wiped it all up. Included Mix veg pickle
Puffed rice, coconut jaggery, vegetable Salad, banana stem

Course 3: This was served along with course 2 and mainly consisted of small servings of vegetables called 'thoran'. Yellow pumpkin khichdi
Banana flower porier, Beet root pachadi, White pumpkin olan. 5 different sabjis on the plate. Each having a unique flavor, and tasting beautiful, combined with the salads.

Course 4: This was a 'Rice' course. Red rice, white rice, dal paste, kadhi, butter milk, Spinach porier, cabbage thoran, avial, coconut chutney, and of course, Sambhar and Rasam. Again, small quantities, but insanely falvorful. Mom and Sangeeta couldn't even finish the rice, thats how full they already were. The red rice is extremely filling, and wholesome. Sambhar was nice and thick, with no traces of oil. Rasam... We drank the rasam till the last drop, thats how delicious it was.

Course 5: Dessert: was a red rice payasam. Stron flavours of coconut, gud (jaggery) and ghee, this reminded me of the flavours mom's coconut laddoos!

The bonus course was a pan, with a spoon full of honey! Excellent way to clean the system after a meal.

By the end of it all we were pleading the owners to not send out any more food! Thought the quantities were 'limited' and portions were small, the meal is designed to be extremely healthy, filling, and full of nutrition. The  cooking style used is organic and pure. That's how we felt after the meal. Clean, beautiful, purified.
HUGE Thumbs up to Dravida's Bistro. This place is beautiful.
