In a bowl the Farsan is added and on this the madki curry to added. It is served with finely chopped onions and coriander. Slices of lemon are given as accompaniments.

If you are in Kolhapur, Gavran Misal Pav is the place to be! Hands down one of the best hotels to have authentic misal pav in the city.

The moment you step in, the ambience sets the tone – clean, vibrant, and welcoming. The staff is friendly and quick, making the experience even better.

Now coming to the highlight – the misal pav. It’s absolutely outstanding! Perfect balance of spice, flavor, and crunch, with that unique Kolhapuri touch that makes it unforgettable. The pav is fresh and soft, and the tari (gravy) is rich and delicious. Every bite feels authentic and satisfying.

What I loved most is how they maintain both quality and consistency – you can tell they really care about their food and their customers. Portions are okayish.

If you’re a foodie, this is a must-visit. If you’re new to Kolhapur, this should be your first stop. And if you’re from Kolhapur, you already know why this place is so special! 🌟
