Shree Purohit Thali® — Restaurant in Nashik

I ate twice here. In Dec 2019 and now, on 2nd May 2022. In Dec 2019, the thali offered fab value to the patron. There were unlimited sweets, dahi vada, paneer curry, rich veggies, khichdi, masala rice and variety. However, in what seems to be apparent cost cutting, when we ate in May 2022, we got only 1 choice and serving of sweet, there was ridge gourd for veggie, no paneer, chana dal sabji and chana daal for rice, no khichdi, no dahi vada, only plain rice on offer other than Puri, rotis.

As we Indians would say, it was a real "Paisa wasool" lunch...and a lot more!! Two hours later and I am still feeling stuffed!! Great food... served by very hospitable staff...! The huge crowd and the wait was the only...

As you enter, you are greeted by a man in traditional Gujarati attire with a hand folded namaste. You are seated and immediately the staff serves you a refreshing drink - Jaljeera. Post that, begins a queue of people to serve you - there's 2-3 types of Dal, 3-4 vegetables, Roti, thepla, dahi wada, Salad, Thecha, Gujarati kadhi, dhokla, custard and halwa. All were good except for the average Dhokla. It was a hearty meal. The service was very quick and they would bring anything to be refilled promptly. Post clearing your plates, they will bring a handwash kettle, so you clean your hands at the table itself. Post this you are offered a Pan ( don't know if it's chargeable, we declined the offer as we were very full from the meal ). For 220 bucks, it's a...
