Woodland Restaurant — Restaurant in Maharashtra

From 19th March 2025 to 25th March 2025, our Sai Group of 38 adults and 4 children from Gurgaon visited Shirdi and we stayed at your Hotel Ganapati Palace. Your rooms are very good – clean, spacious and staff is so courteous and that made our stay most comfortable. Most Important – what made us so Happy was the Food and Service at your Restaurant. Feeling so happy to share that the main reason of Good Food and Service was your Manager – Somnath Bhalerao. Oh – he literally cared for us as though we were his ‘Personal Guests’.

If I wanted that, I would have simply ordered a Punjabi thali. This reflects not just poor food quality but also a lack of basic understanding and respect for regional cuisine. The service was negligent, and overall, it was a pathetic dining experience. I do not...

This is like a comet in the Sky. We were really obsessed with the food in Shiridi from a South Indian Backdrop. This restaurant satisfied us with mostly South Indian dishes. Thanks to Dosa, Sambar - truely of South Indian style. If you are South Indians and want taste of Home kind, do consider this. Also there are many north Indian items which are so good, for example Pav Bhaji. North Indian thali is also good. But truly my favourite has to be Schezwan Fried Rice with Panner Butter Masala, so good. Give it try. My go to...
