Pune’s relationship with Asian cuisine has evolved considerably from the run-of-the-mill Chinjabi menus of the early 2000s. Today, the city has a diverse and considered Asian dining scene that spans hand-rolled sushi in Koregaon Park, Sichuan stir fries in Baner, Vietnamese in Kalyani Nagar, and Thai curries that will transport you back to the streets of Bangkok. This evolution has been driven by diners who are increasingly curious about regional Asian cuisines and the stories behind them. Whether you’re looking for an exclusive Omakase experience, a quick bowl of ramen, or a dim sum lunch on Sunday, Pune’s restaurants have an answer for every craving. These are the ones worth seeking out.
