The Grain Anaaj Restaurant — Restaurant in Maharashtra

Just visited this place and instantly regretter. We were cheated here. We ordered cappuccino and one health freak salad. I chose health freak salad since it had lettuce, broccoli and some fruits along with grilled vegetables in an orange dressing. What I got was super soggy tofu with cabbage and bell peppers. When asked for lettuce and broccoli, no broccoli and wilted lettuce was added to my salad. It tasted bitter. No orange dressing was added, not even lemon. The taste was bad. Coming to penne arabiatta, it has to be the worst pasta of my life. I have been to several vegan cafes and nothing comes close to this messed up pasta. Worst part is they overcharged us. In menu, salad is for 150₹ they charged us 200₹. Pasta is 270₹ and they charged us 320₹. Prices were checked in menu as well as in zomato app, we were in a hurry and I accept it us my mistake to have double checked. Somewhere in my mind , i was thinking they are already doing a good task by promoting veganism, didnt know they cheat customers too. Already the prices are high and on top of that they overcharge by cheating. This was an extremely disappointing experience for us. While we love Shirdi food but this in particular just turned our experience sour. Never visiting again. Please dont cheat your...

It is one of those rare finds which I had not expected in Shirdi. I had a very different kind of expectation for the kind of eating places I would encounter. But one evening, on looking up alternate options (as we only having Indian food during the road trip so far), we came across this place. Vegetarian I would expect in Shirdi - but vegan I did not.

On landing up there, the only person manning the place - Sachin Golwad - was fantastic. He described all the menu items with passion, talked proudly (and yet humbly) about the way he would make each one of the items (yes - everything is made in-house - including their vegan ice creams!!). And right at the outset, he had mentioned that the items ordered would take some time to get prepared - as they are all made fresh. And boy - was he right!

What a pleasure it was to have a simple-sounding tomato soup - where the tomatoes were got whole, chopped and made into a soup AFTER the order is placed! The difference in the freshness was so palpable - it blew us away.

All the items we ordered were great.

Would love to go back to Shirdi to visit the samadhi of the great saint, and to have many meals at this...

This restaurant is part of Jivanta Hotel. Our hotel welcome and lunch was here.

Neat, fresh and tasty food is the way to describe this restaurant. The pastries were fresh and tasty, considering the fact that my little one is very choose about food and he enjoyed it, our believe in the taste was reinforced.

For lunch we ordered aloo methi, dal fry, mushroom curry and rice along with rumali roti and butter roti. The aloo methi was a dry dish and was very good. Mushroom curry was medium spicy and loaded with mushrooms. Dal fry was bit spicy for kids but taste wise excellent. Quantity was sufficient and staff were very helpful.

Tip: Order in advance cause as per management, all food are prepared from scratch and will take time. However our dishes were delivered pretty quickly. For journey if you are planning to pack food, then they do not do that. Checked this at the counter. The open at 7:30 in the morning.

Will recommend at least one meal here...
