Hotel Kamal — Restaurant in Maharashtra

While traveling from Pune, we took a lunch break at Solapur. Looking at the overall locality, I was afraid of getting a decent place to eat. On Google, I found Hotel Kamal as the best rated pure veg restaurant in Solapur, so we selected this one.

It is located in the prominent place, Panjarapol (पांजरापोळ) chowk. Still, locating it was a bit difficult as the name plate was very old. There is a rickshaw stand in front of it's door and a NO PARKING board as well. But the security guard told us to park our car there itself. They have private parking available, only for the guests staying in the Lodge. Yes, it is a lodge and they have this small restaurant on the first floor, that can accommodate roughly 25-30 people. The ambience is not much to talk about, it is slightly old.

We ordered Veg Makhanwala and Chapati. As Pithla-Bhakri (पिठलं-भाकरी) is famous dish in Solapur we ordered that as well. Pithla is called Tawa Besan (तवा बेसन) here. They also serve Jain food. The taste was surprisingly good. Especially the the Tawa Besan is a must try. It looks red and spicy but it is really not that spicy. The Bhakri is also of right size and thickness. One can eat two Bhakri. Overall we liked everything we ordered.

The staff was courteous and helpful. The bill was almost half of what we would pay in Pune. Card payment facility was not available. A common toilet (Indian styled) for the lodge is available. It was not very clean, but serves the purpose. This hotel should be your oasis...

Went for lunch and had to wait more than 1 hour 30 min to get starter. and when asked about main course waiter says it was mistakenly servered to other people and had to prepare again. Which he though not to inform.And it amazed me when I saw urad dal tadka on Gobi 65. Left the hotel without eating food after waiting for 2 hours for food. Best recommended don't not...
