Arihant Misal — Restaurant in Maharashtra

Arihant Misal House in Chinchwad has rightfully earned its reputation as one of the standout spots for Maharashtrian breakfast and snacks in the PCMC area. It's the quintessential place for anyone seeking an authentic and flavourful Misal Pav experience. The star of the show is, without a doubt, the Misal Pav. Unlike some overly fiery versions, Arihant strikes a perfect balance: the rassa (curry) is robust and deeply flavourful, often described as having a pleasant, subtle smoky undertone that enhances the taste without being overwhelmingly spicy. For those who want to indulge, the 'Nadach Khula Misal Thali' is a fantastic choice, providing a complete meal with mattha (buttermilk), dahi wada, and all the essential accompaniments like farsan and matki. What truly sets Arihant apart is the quality and variety. The popular 'Desi Ghee Misal' is an absolute game-changer, with the richness of pure ghee elevating the traditional flavour to a gourmet level—a unique twist you won't easily find elsewhere. The restaurant itself is clean, with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff are generally polite and efficient, ensuring a good overall dining experience. It's a busy, bustling place, which is always a good sign of local popularity. If you're near Chinchwad and craving a perfectly balanced, soul-satisfying bowl of Misal Pav, Arihant Misal should be at the very top...

Long been to my list, we finally visited this place. We ordered two Misal Pav plates, a small bowl of Dahi and one Solkadhi.

Food - Solkadhi was good. Misal Pav was amazing in taste as expected. However, everything else apart from that was surprisingly very disappointing.

Ambience and Seating - It was just pathetic. Upstair seating setup couldn't accomodate heighted people. I banged my head several times to the roof. That was really annoying. Altogether, everything looked really congested.

Location - We started off from Wakad in a two wheeler to this place. The roads are fine, but are narrow and congested at several places. My recommendation would be to avoid taking a four wheeler.

Parking - Well, you could easily get a place to park your two wheeler, but if you reach there in a four wheeler, it could create lot of hassles. This place has no dedicated parking slots for four wheelers.

Billing - Pricing looked fine, but the GST component in the bill surprised us.

Overall - An...

I used to take parcel of misal. Besides charging for extra pav, Somees they forget to provide extra pav in parcel.

The staricase of the shop are very steep with very inconvenient side bar at only one side. They should provide side bar at both sides.

Further two chairs kept near staricase are very dangerously placeed with chances of falling is very high. They should do something to prevent falling of customer.

Since bann of plastic carry bag, Arihant Misal stopped giving parcel of misal in plastic bag. However like other reastaurant they didn't not find any solution for parcel of misal, instead they bluntly refuse to provide the parcel or asks the customer to bring their own container. As many times person while he is out of house plans to take parcel of misal to home and he do not have any container with him, he and his family get very disappointed after knowing that misal is refused due to not having container. Owner should find some solution for...
