Pune (Maharashtra) [India], September 18: Dobaraa, an all day bar at Phoenix Marketcity, Pune is set to host a special culinary pop-up Menu “Zhanzhanit Kolhapur” showcasing the flavours of Kolhapur, starting September 10, 2025 till September 19, 2025. The new menu by Chef Reshma Mane will offer the region’s distinct food culture, celebrated for its use of multifaceted spice blends, flavourful curries and hearty preparations.
The curated menu will feature a variety of dishes that capture the true spirit of Kolhapuri cuisine, renowned for its ‘Zhanzhanit’, meaning spicy, fiery and intensely flavourful. Guests can expect specialties such as Kothimbir Wadi, Kharda Chicken, Kolhapuri Aloo Masala, Mutton Kolhapuri Masala and Chicken Kolhapuri Thali, known for their robust seasoning and depth of flavour. The menu has been created to reflect both traditional cooking methods and regional authenticity while catering to the palate of a wider audience in Pune.
To complement the spice intensity of Kolhapuri food, Dobaraa has also created a lineup of specially designed concoctions. These are intended not just as accompaniments but as part of the overall experience, offering balance and refreshment.
"India has a diverse food culture, and even within Maharashtra, every region has its own unique delicacies. Bringing the taste of Kolhapur to Pune, at Dobaraa, allows me to share these authentic flavours using the same preparations, masalas and ingredients, so everyone can enjoy the true essence of Kolhapuri cuisine." says Chef Reshma Mane.
Speaking about the Zhanzhanit Kolhapur Menu, Prashant Issar, Managing Director of Bellona Hospitality, says, “We’re really happy to bring Kolhapuri flavours to Dobaraa’s menu in the city. It’s all about sharing the real taste and spice of the region with our guests. We’ve put together dishes that honour traditional recipes, and paired them with drinks that are just right to savour the tastes. We hope everyone enjoys this mix of bold food and refreshing drinks when they visit us.”
With this new menu, Dobaraa showcases the rich diversity of Indian cuisine. Recently introducing Naati Cuisine in Bangalore and Pathare Prabhu in Mumbai, the Kolhapuri offerings in Pune highlight another culinary heritage.
