You also get good felafel, pita and hummus at Grubshup on Law College Road and it is quite inexpensive ...

Galaxy Grill is a great location to enjoy an evening, but the joy evaporates once you see the bill. The food is no great shakes either ...

I would tend to agree with you...similar thoughts.

IMHO, avoid Galaxy Grill (or rather avoid all restos in Seasons Aundh). Its a rip-off. Taste wise its just okay and value wise its bad (prices high, portions small etc).

Salsa in Corinthian Club is a decent Greek (and continental) place. Its a bit Indianish though. I've tasted Greek food in Cyprus (which was supposed to be authentic) and the one in Salsa was "spicier" and oilier.

Laguna (aka Exotica) in Yerawada (Panchsheel Tech Park rooftop) serves some good Middle Eastern or West Asian. Their food mostly comes from Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco and some from Greece. Some of the menu is also Mediterranean. The ambiance is great and dinner should be 800-1000 per head. Their lunch buffet also sometimes features Mediterranean dishes.

Flags (next to Inox Bund Garden) has a few Middle-eastern dishes on their huge menu. Their Tagine is amazing and the Baklava is also good. Per person ~700-800.

Stone Water Grill also has a few options, but its very expensive - 1000-1200 per head.

There are many options street-food wise - places that serve falafel, shawarma etc - street style. Casa Lolo serves good falafels, shawarmas and arabic chicken. They have 2 branches - Kamla Nehru park and Wanaworie. Then there's Hite Bar in Camp. And a small resto called "3rd on 7th" in Koregaon Park Lane no 7 - good falafels here. There's one more in Lane 6, near Pizaa Hut - can't recall the name - "6th Lane Cafe" or something.

Try some of the items in the menu at Hard Rock Cafe. Not too bad.

As far as I know there are only 2 restaurants in Pune that serve Greek food. Galaxy Grill's Mezedes platter is good but at a ridiculously high cost of Rs. 450 for a starter...For vegetarians like me they have lot of choices in their menu...It is Ok for a one time visit. As Abhijit and Amit have said..you will not visit it the second time.

Smoke on the Water @ Central Park offers Greek cuisine in addition to the Continental spread.

Average meal cost for 2 would be Rs. 1000-1200

"Salsa" in the Corinthian Club claims to be a Greek Restaurant, but I believe that this claim is made simply because they are in the Corinthian Club which has a Greek theme (and because they were not able to satisfactorily answer my question as to why is a Greek restaurant names 'Salsa').

They're actually a multi-cuisine restaurant with some Greek dishes.

In any case, I did not like the food there much, but my understanding is that Amit Paranjape did like it, and so did @meetumeetu
