There’s not a single person who doesn’t enjoy a well-made kebab. There’s just something about the smoky and well-marinated meat veggies that can’t be messed with. Originally intrinsic to the north of India, now you can find it everywhere. By everywhere, I mean even on the street corners. And since it’s so well-loved, we decided to make a list of the best kebab places in Pune. Here we go!
1. Desi Aroma, Multiple Outlets
Just look at that juicy tandoori chicken on that plate just waiting to be devoured. Can you ever say no to that? I know we can’t and at Desi Aroma, the minute you step in, you know you are going to order platefuls of it. It’s that god. This place is going to be a hit with the people who love their tandoori chicken.

2. Tarsh Gastronomia, Hinjewadi
I always say that it is really difficult to nail a good seekh kebab. It might look easy, but making the dish is quite complex. You don’t want it to be too dry because that just ruins it. But at Tarsh Gastronomia, you can be assured that you’ll only get the best seekh kebab ever.
