Step into Farro, and you’re instantly enveloped by an earthy elegance—lime-plastered walls, teakwood accents and handcrafted terracotta details that create a space both contemporary and rooted in tradition. It’s a reflection of what Farro truly represents: a journey of flavours that bridge the past and the present.
At the heart of Farro is Chef Vardaan Marwah, whose culinary philosophy is steeped in personal stories and global experiences. But what makes his menu truly special is how it’s anchored in memories—many dishes draw from recipes passed down by his grandmother, reimagined through his modern lens. It’s comfort food, but elevated, thoughtful, and bursting with character. Joining him in this culinary adventure is his partner, Aman Talreja, whose passion for hospitality shapes Farro’s warm, welcoming vibe, creating not just a restaurant, but a space where food, design, and culture converge seamlessly.
The menu is an ode to seasonal produce and bold, clean flavours. Start with the Thirty-Layer Truffle Latke, an indulgent, textural masterpiece layered with herbs, brown butter, fresh truffle, and parmesan crema. The Parmesan Jalebi is an unexpected delight—a clever twist that marries the savoury sharpness of parmesan with the nostalgic form of jalebi, served with saffron aioli.
For something playful yet comforting, the Lentil and Yogurt Chaat brings together lentil vada, strawberry chutney, passionfruit chutney, and yogurt snow—a vibrant, tangy explosion of flavours. And don’t miss the Textures of Corn, a dish that surprises with charred corn, corn foam, brioche, and a hint of chilli oil.
Mains like the Alleppey Cottage Cheese, grilled to perfection and served with coriander pesto, pepper relish, and flaky paratha, are a testament to Chef Vardaan’s mastery of flavour layering. The Flower of the Forest, with its pan-seared arborio cake, creamy enoki, and fungi, is earthy, umami-packed, and visually stunning.
No meal is complete without dessert. The Strawberry Mithai Pudding, with dulce-vanilla rice pudding, roasted cashew cake, and cardamom espuma, is both decadent and comforting. If you’re more into bold, punchy flavours, the Manjari Ice Cream and Burnt Milk Ice Cream will leave you swooning.
Farro’s beverage program isn’t just about cocktails; it’s about storytelling through ingredients. Their signature cocktail menu, aptly titled “XI,” features eleven meticulously crafted drinks, each inspired by ancient civilisations and cultural legends.
From the Pharaoh and Nile, a briny-sweet concoction of gin, dates, and pomegranate mist, to the Sone Ki Chidiya, a tart, spicy-sour blend of coconut gin, kokum, and saffron, every drink feels like a chapter from a history book. If you enjoy something earthy and complex, the Earth & Spirit, with cacao gin and lacto-fermented plum, is a must-try.
Farro isn’t just another restaurant in Koregaon Park; it’s a thoughtfully curated experience where every dish tells a story. Whether it’s the nostalgic flavours inspired by Chef Vardaan’s grandmother, Aman Talreja’s vision for community-driven spaces, or the inventive cocktails that span ancient civilisations. Farro invites you to sit back, savour, and connect with food on a deeply personal level.
