Terttulia

Terttulia is a strange name which doesn’t trip off the tongue too easily. It is apparently a Catalan word for a social gathering of friends, usually at a cafe, and this is exactly what this cafe/restaurant/bar/tapas bar offers. The young, enterprising Imrun Sethi has introduced a lovely hideaway with the help of Eefa Shroff. It feels more like a European cafe in Goa or Bali than in Koregaon Park. The cafe is open-air and is fenced off from the main road. I started with a refreshing Orange ‘n’ Basil Mojito and also tried the Watermelon Caipiroska and the Dirty Martini - all three were excellent. They do have a decent wine list and a great selection of cocktails. The pizzas are thin-crust... I prefer the Vegetarian Creamy Spinach, Tossed Rucula and Scarmozzarella, which is definitely one of the best pizzas you’ll find in this city. There are plenty of well-thought-out and deftly executed options for vegetarians. Specials change every Friday, important for those who hang out here a lot and look forward to seasonal twists. A real breath of fresh air in the Koregaon Park area and exceptional value for money.
