Start your evenings with Babaji Ki Booti, Pehchan Kon and Baba Ramdev – they are served in cute-looking tea pots, and are high on taste. Next, savor your taste buds with their signature Bunta cocktails in the flavors of Kala Khatta Vodka and Aam Panna Bunta. To say the least, they were equally good but not less.

Just because it is a bar, don’t think the food served will be of okayish standard. In fact, the food menu is full of eccentricities; pure desi touch is found in every dish rolled out from the kitchen. In starters, try to order Chakna Platter, Mangodi Vada and Baigan Bharta taco and for main course, treat yourself with Rajha Chilli Pork, Kasundi Fish and Mutton Curry.

When in college people need to juggle between several stuff, like relationships, friendships, financial independence and most importantly studies and living on a stringent budget.
