Joshi Bhojanalay — Restaurant in Maharashtra

Review of Joshi Bhojnalay, Akkalkot

Joshi Bhojnalay, located near the Shri Swami Samarth Vatvruksh Mandir in Akkalkot, is a gem for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Maharashtrian cuisine. This simple yet delightful eatery specializes in serving thali meals that feel like a warm, home-cooked feast.

The thali includes a variety of items such as sabji (vegetable curry), roti, dal, chawal (rice), and chutney, many of which are served unlimited, allowing you to enjoy your meal to your heart’s content. The flavors are simple, comforting, and reminiscent of traditional Maharashtrian home-cooking, making it a perfect option for those seeking a wholesome meal after visiting the temple.

One standout item is the fresh and tasty buttermilk, which is not just refreshing but also a perfect complement to the meal.

The location adds to the convenience, being very close to the Vatvruksh Mandir, making it an ideal stop for pilgrims and visitors. The simplicity and authenticity of the food, combined with its homely feel, truly set Joshi Bhojnalay apart.

Highly recommended for anyone visiting Akkalkot and looking to relish traditional Maharashtrian flavors in a...

Date of visit: 28/01/2025 Disappointing Experience: We recently visited with our family of four. Unfortunately, our experience was quite underwhelming. Parking Nightmare: Finding parking near the restaurant was a major challenge. The lack of designated parking spaces caused significant inconvenience. We had to park 1 km away from here and walk in scorching sun. Uncomfortable Seating: The benches were uncomfortable and made it difficult to sit properly and enjoy our meal. We could not even hold our toddle on the lap Poor Service: The service was extremely slow and inefficient. We had to wait an unusually long time for our food to arrive. Rude Staff: The staff, including the owner, were quite rude and unhelpful. Their attitude made our dining experience unpleasant. Mediocre Food: While the food was okay, it wasn't anything special. But its home cooked. Overall: We were highly disappointed with our visit. The lack of parking, uncomfortable seating, poor service, and rude staff significantly impacted our dining experience. We would not recommend this restaurant to others. I hope this...

Excellent food, Good service and a clean place. Best homely food ever tasted. If you eat here once it will definitely become your go to place in Akkalkot. Thali Pricing is very reasonable. You will have to pay extra for the desserts but that is too very reasonably priced. I tried Amrakhand and it tasted very good.

Place is located within walking distance from the Vatavruksha temple and very close to Balappa Maharaj Swami Guru Sthan. It's on the main road towards Samadhi Mandir.

Akkalkot Temple has sufficient parking facility and due to small internal roads, it is advisable not to park on the main road near Joshi Bhojanalay. It's always preferable to park in Temple parking and walk to...
