Hotel Reddy — Restaurant in Pune

We recently visited this restaurant with high expectations and ordered the veg thali, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a very disappointing experience.

Almost every item in the thali tasted stale or spoiled:

The dal had a sour smell, indicating it was either kept for too long or reheated multiple times.

The sabzi (vegetables) were overcooked and had a strange taste—definitely not fresh.

Curd was watery and tasted off, likely past its usable time.

Even the rice was cold and seemed to have been made long before serving.

The chapatis were rubbery and dry, clearly not freshly prepared.

We brought it to the staff’s attention, but they did not seem too concerned and offered no apology or replacement. For a place that serves thali as a specialty, basic hygiene and food quality should be a priority.

This kind of experience not only ruins the meal but also raises serious questions about the kitchen hygiene and food safety standards being followed.

Verdict: Would not recommend this place unless the management takes food quality seriously. Health and freshness should never be compromised, especially for daily meals...

Their veg thali is very nominally priced at 110 INR......the thali consists of rice, Andhra pachadi, any one veg fry (changes day to day), dal, Gravy vegetable ( changes day to day), fryums, rasam, sambhar, thick curd, gongura pickle (available in upstairs dining), onion, lemon....podi is not offered...the food is unlimited, the servers will keep on serving you untill u say enough, the staffs are very attendive and service is very fast.....overall a very nyc experience...u can visit with your family they have family sitting area upstairs...ambience is ok but tat doesnt matter to me when food is good....a must visit in kharadi if u like...

Used to be a go to resturant for us all before, but in recent times the quantity decreased and the cost for that quantity doesn't make any sense. The quality as well went down. We usually have biryani always and the quantity was really good as the ones you get back in Hyd, but in recent times it's been cut to half the quantity you used to get before and the prices aren't changed irrespective of the quantity. Dosa was also used to be very good interms of the size for the money spent, but dosa as well decreased. I guess the owner is in the middle of cost cutting or trying to make loads of cash off the slashed...
