Terrasinne is a wonderful place to spend a day and be served by people who care for you. It is a Multicuisine Restaurant located at F C road, Pune (near Tukaram Paduka chowk)
Once you are seated, a young girl comes and explains to you how the restaurant functions.
All orders are to be placed with sign language and the menu card has an easy to understand prompt for it.
The food takes some time to come but that is understandable as it is freshly made. The ambiance and the staff put you at ease and that helps you to relax.
The reverse triangle sign of Terrasinne is an Alchemy sign which means 'Earth' (Terra) and Sinne means World Cuisines.
This is one dignified platform for many - 14 disabilities like, blind, deaf, down syndrome, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, deaf and autistic spectrum, epilepsy..... (just a few to mention)
The founder, Dr. Sonam Kapse ensures that the kitchen does not use preservatives, additives or unhealthy ingredients. Terrasinne has collaborated with 200 plus farmers which encourages the propaganda of farm-to-table food.
Some of the photos I clicked while a food photo shoot was going on.
I heard that group discounts on party bookings are available. I feel more people should patronize the place as it is a win win situation. The joy and happiness you see on their faces is worth it.
I made a short two minute video of them in action.
Before leaving we had Filter coffee and cold coffee from Trelish, and that is something I would personally recommend for the coffee fans.
I like their tip box and I presume the tip is shared by all.
What an interesting idea. Your sign language is different from the one I learned, but I assume that's because I learned ASL (just a smattering of signs). A few of the letters are the same, but only like V and C and I.
I've been to restaurants staffed by people with disabilities before, but none that used sign language. That sounds like a great way to make things even more inclusive.
Hi Joe, This is really awesome! I didn’t know such kind of restaurant is existing in Pune…The snaps are amazing. Thanks for this blog. The name is itself down to earth …
Yes Sunil. Even though I knew about the place and location, this was my first trip when I could take my family along as I thought “ why not give them a grass root experience of Pune”
Hi Joe. I know this restaurant but not yet visited, now definitely I will take a chance to visit. Needless to say that your intro for the restaurant is inspiring for Punekars. Thank you so much.

The food looks delicious and it is a good cause; I hope this restaurant idea spreads to many countries. I see that the restaurant name begins with Terra, which is my first name and as you said, Terra does mean earth.
I feel we should start teaching all children sign language. I am sure it has variations around the world, but they can adapt. This way we can eliminate the communication barrier with speech/hearing impaired people.
That is a beautiful showcase of snacks
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed - Joe
DeleteInteresting and inspiring restaurant
ReplyDeleteA great initiative by the founder Dr Sonam Kapse. Your blog will surely help give it a wider coverage 👍.

ReplyDeleteTrue Liz. I too was wondering why she said “Indian sign language” (in the video) - Joe

ReplyDeleteTrue Kathy. That way the customers too get a feeling of participation and oneness with them. - Joe

Thanks Vinayak. I am looking forward for more and more people to patronise the place.

ReplyDeleteHi Pradeep, You are right. Long time no see.
ReplyDeleteThat's a place i would like to visit. There's more to it than food for body.
ReplyDeleteGreat concept, and great venture!! Let’s hope Terrasinne is patronized on an ongoing basis. - Ann Mary
ReplyDeleteGreat initiative that needs to be encouraged!
