Kolhapur Spice in New Panvel is a delightful surprise for anyone craving authentic Maharashtrian food, particularly the fiery flavors of Kolhapur. The restaurant boasts a pleasant ambience, with friendly and attentive staff. Their menu offers a good variety, but the real star is the Chicken or Mutton Thali.

Paired with the thali, the Tambra Pandra Rassa is a revelation. This signature Kolhapuri gravy, known for its deep spice blend, is amazingly authentic, transporting your taste buds straight to Kolhapur itself! Even better, refills on the rassa are unlimited, perfect for those who love the heat.

Be prepared for a wait, though, as Kolhapur Spice tends to get packed on weekends. Finding parking can also be a challenge. However, the delicious food and welcoming atmosphere make this a worthwhile experience for any spice enthusiast.
