  The place looks inviting and the staff is simple and serves with a smileFor the rest, it’s definitely not a Mediterranean place. The taste is very generic. E.g. the garlic prawns could very well be something you eat at an asian place or barThe chicken taouk was closer to the Indian style. Nothing to tAouk about itThe tapenade was the only one that tasted closer to the actualThe main course was an absolute disappointmentTurkish pilaf with fried chicken – the dish was unappetizing to look at. Thick, fried chicken that was bland. Rice was super dry.The chicken fracissa tagine was with a cream sauce – more Italian in taste and definitely not paprika sauceIf you look at this as a diner serving a mix of everything, then it’s ok I guessBut definitely not Mediterranean. Disappointing

  #ankzfoodreviewsOlive Wheat Grape, is currently hosting a #Seafood Festival starting from today till 20th October.Location : 96/B/97, Suvarnrekha Boulevard, Prabhat Road, Erandwane, PuneThis has a neat and clean open kitchen. With the guts to have so, this shows how transparent they are towards their customers and are confident about themselves #appreciatedA quiet and cozy environment , having a view of prabhat road, we started with a soup named#Italian seafood stew, a soup made by cooking crabs, prawns & clams together. It had little flavour of fresh basil, chunky tomatoes, cubed carrots and was mildly spicy. The herbs quantity can be increased a bit to take it near to authentic. Can be a good start to the rainy evenings too.Crab Potatoes & Corn #Croquettes, these fried fingers were made with fresh crab meat and boiled american corns with boiled potato mash to bind and was served with melted cheddar cheese dip. The covering was rightly crunchy, the filling inside had good seasoning to go with crab & corn. It wasn’t very oily. Don’t they look delish too?#dotrySeafood #Platter – it includedSmoked #Salmon Crostini – thin smoked salmon slice over baguette. It had good feta cheese dip spread between the the salmon & bread, which gave crostini a good taste. The smoked salmon was done well, nice smoky flavour was evident.Grilled #prawns, were served in two types of marination viz., cafreal & tomato. I liked the tomato based ones. They were grilled so need to be eaten hot, else they can be a bit dry later. Both the marination were full of flavours and unique for me.It also had deep fried anchovies, deep fried squids, boiled eggs, some dips on plating and salad. Altogether it was a okay combo.#Grilled lobster with corn cob, this was the show stealer for the evening. They had brushed the lobster with butter garlic and with minimal herbs used they got the best possible taste out of the grilled lobster. The dominant taste of lobster flesh was evident. It was served with a super yummy corn cob and herbs tossed rice. #musttryI even liked the homemade tagliatelle with clams, calamari & prawns, this in house string aglio e olio pasta had got flavours.Do visit this place to try out their hatke seafood dishes!

  I went in early on Sunday for a brunch and waited for my friends to come. The place was practically empty and I could choose the table of my choice, so I settled in a sofa and ordered a salad. I liked their concept of “Salads in a Jar” and I chose Chicken Broccoli. The staff was really warm and welcoming and made me feel very comfortable.In the meantime people started coming in and the place was getting full. A family with a baby entered and the attendants asked me if I could move in to one of the centre tables with chairs, and I didn’t really mind. But the attendants were so apologetic and penitent that I questioned myself if it was wrong of me to not feel bad at all!The salad looked appealing in a nice-looking glass jar, and when the lid was opened, it was steaming. To add to the effect, it was drizzling outside. A chipotle-like dressing was served on the side. The sizable quantity was more than enough for two people and it was the perfect comfort food for that kind of weather. I ordered “Alfredo” pizza (with mixed green leaves) and “Ravioli of Spinach and Ricotta” (served with creamy arrabiatta). My friends joined in and the food was served. The pizza however had no green leaves, so I sent it back 😀 They came back with it after sprinkling it with some lettuce leaves(!) but it tasted good anyway. The ravioli was good, the tangy arrabiatta balanced the creaminess of the pockets. Later we ordered minced chicken lasagna which looked like a grilled sandwich cut in two triangles, but it was really good. The only disappoint-er was “Cottage Cheese Kebab” – it just didn’t stand out. We were looking for a vegetarian appetizer, and the attendant recommended this to us, so we went along with it. We also found the dessert menu is quiet plain and limited. One of the things that I liked about this place is that it offers free parking – which is difficult to find especially if you want to go out somewhere in this area. Overall, a good place to have a relaxed Mediterranean meal.

  Olive Wheat Grave or OWG as popularly known is restaurant specializing in Mediterranean and continental cuisine. At present they are hosting a selective veg menu in the spirit of on-going Shravan Mas. We were invited for a special tasting to suggest how to create and satisfy cravings for the veggie lovers in town. A quick insight into our experience from the tasting:We tried a few mock tales like spicy kokum fizz and orange crush. I will admit that mock tales were a lot better than typically available. The kokum fizz had burst of multiple flavours from tangy to sweet syrup to spicy chilli imparting some heat to the drink. I will say I really enjoyed the spicy quotient to my drink.In soups there were two options to savour from: Roasted garlic cauliflower & cheese soup and creamy green pea’s soup. While pea’s soup was tempting and a close relative of broccoli soup, the cauliflower soup was simply ecstatic and raised the expectations bar couple of notches higher. The thick, cheesy soup had a perfect consistency; adequate salinity and a mild burnt buttery feel to it which simply stirred the soul. Unfortunately the garlic bread served along was unimpressive and should be looked into. Once perfected, I can visit the place just to have this combo over and over. #MustHaveArancini balls: They were a great start to the meal ahead and I appreciated that they were not at all oily since they have a tendency to become oily at times. The balls made from arborio rice were golden brown, adequate crispy and paired really well with the accompanying Pesto Calabrese sauce. I would appreciate a slightly generous use of mozzarella or parmesan within balls however this could be slightly personal and I will give the recipe a nod. #GoodStartRatatouille pizza: the name itself had me intrigued. Ratatouille originally an Italian peasant’s dish is getting popular in the town and in a fusion avatar least to say. I had eaten Ratatouille earlier many times but a R-Pizza was a welcoming change. Apart from the bell peppers, sun dried tomatoes et all it has garlic, zucchini and aubergines for toppings. The cheese used will be less as veggies need to stand out essentially. Mix variants of cheese can make the dish more tempting but full marks for the dish so far. #ShouldTrySpaghetti in carrot sauce:, A spaghetti in a carrot sauce is certainly something rare to find on the menu and we wanted to make the most of this opportunity. Carrot sauce was very well made and blended in perfectly with the spaghetti. The sauce can turn cold and sticky quickly; so be sure to savour it asap. #KnomKnom Harissa Hummus: This was more of a desi hummus side dish served with pita bread. While the hummus was perfected and has adequate spicy quotient and olive oil drizzled over it; the in house pita bread needed some correction. A little more porous and less flour would have been nice. The dish in itself can be a good side dish and may be a bit of a palate cleanser too. #LovedItSpinach and Mushroom: A dish that uses mushrooms in a mash potato base with cheese sauce. While the dish concept was brilliant we suggested few ways of the changes that can make the dish outstanding. I would personally prefer it a lot more cheesy (fluid cheesy sauce) and a lot less of mashed potato for the mashed potato took away all the subtle flavours the dish had to offer. #ConvincingDish Jibna Paneer Kebab: These were green chilli and mint marinade kebabs which made a sorry figure for the other delicacies on the table. It was not upto the mark at all and I would give it a pass. #PassOm Ali: Please make way for the sweet tooth’s in the house for here comes – Om Ali/ Umm Ali. This national dish of Egypt is made from fresh puff pastry and condensed milk. A scoop of vanilla or a fresh cream dollop is the most suitable topping for this dish. Simply loved the dish. It had diluted condensed milk with just enough sweetness for everyone’s liking. It had almonds and pistachios flakes drizzled all over.7 layered coffee and chocolate mousse: This was another sad affair after paneer. The name was misleading for starters. It is a 7 layered mousse but it does not have 7 layers of either coffee or chocolate flavours as we envisioned. It has about 3 distinct flavours packed in repetitive 7 layers. The portion size by serving it in a shot glass was also not convincing. We discussed lot of ideas on how to overhaul the dish completely; for the dish in its present avatar, was just blah! #Skip In a nutshell, with its central location and a wide selection of Mediterranean dishes, Olive Wheat Grape is simply OMG and sure to satisfy your taste buds..
