Hotel Gavran Tadka — Restaurant in Maharashtra

We found this place randomly while searching for good budget dine out options on new year’s eve.

And we just loved it because we wanted kids friendly hotel as I have a 2 year old toddler.

This place has few play rides available outside for kids like sliding, sea-saw and Duck wheel. My daughter enjoyed this place because of these play rides.

Then I liked the sitting inside. You have chair and table option as well as sitting down on carpet with ease and enjoy meal 🥘 in relax mood.

We chose sitting down on carpet option as it was better to dine in with our toddler.

Then the Food was really good. We ordered Special Chicken Thali, chicken biryani and Chicken lollipops as we don’t eat Mutton. There are options for Mutton as well.

Chicken thali was really good it included Chicken sukka, gravy, kheema, soup, Bhakri and rice. I loved it 👍 the taste was good.

Chicken Biryani was little bit oily but taste was good and lollipop was just awesome 👍 even my daughter loved them.

Wait time was around 10-15 minutes which I thought was normal.

So overall it was a good eating experience here. Would recommend it to non veg lovers 👍

There are vegetarian options...

Not a good experience. Poor quality meal. There were many vans parked outside, but very few customers inside — that should’ve been a red flag.

We ordered chicken fry, expecting the dry and crispy version as discussed, but were served chicken with masala and gravy. When we pointed it out, the staff insisted it was the same item we had discussed. We requested a replacement, but they brought back the same chicken pieces with less masala — it seemed like they had just wiped it off and served it again.

We also asked them to serve the rice later so we could eat it warm, but they refused, saying since it’s part of a thali, everything has to be served at once.

While ordering, we specifically asked for spicy rassa, and they served handi with mirchi tadka. It was extremely spicy — so much so that every bite made us sweat — and there was more oil than actual rassa.

Don’t waste your valuable time...

Good place for Authentic Maharashtrian food. Taste is good and looks hygienic. Regular food items also available...

Their signature dish are all chicken and mutton dishes. For non vegetarians this restaurant is perfect. Taste is typically dabha style and very spicy. If you are not eating spicy food then you have to give special instructions for less spice food at the time of order. Also try their Jawar Bhakari and Indrayani rice. It's very nice... For vegetarians also they have good food options like Baigan Masala, Akkha masur and some regular Paneer and veggies dishes...

Ambience and service is ok. Table and ground seating is available. I would suggest to use ground seating. It's very nice and comfortable...

Ample of free parking available. Small playing zone for kids is available...

Overall good...
