Kalyan Bhel — Restaurant in Pune

Having such a good ( yet expensive) experience since my childhood with this chain of fast food , recently I had a very unpleasant one reason being the hygiene. Below are few points that I witnessed during the last visit↙️ •1• the elder person that sits on the counter was having food sitting on the counter itself , when I ordered and began to give out cash , not only he received it with those hands but also continued having his meal with the same hand. •2• as I started to have a look for how things are processing inside ,none of the chefs/workers were wearing the mask properly also neither one of them was wearing hand gloves . No counter was having a sanitizer. •3• one of the workers just wiped his sweat with his t-shirt and continued by dipping the hand in the water and sprinkling over the hot pan. •4• you can see the workers standing by the entrance in the picture below, having not wearing the maks properly and none wearing hand gloves .

It was in the early 80s, when as a teenager, Ramesh would accompany his mother Muktabai to sell vegetables in Kothrud. They slowly included farsan at the stall too. mother would mix thecha (green chilli chutney) and coriander in the farsan and sell in it packs of quarter and half kg. This soon became a daily practice and people would specifically come to the stall for the mixture. She would grind the chutney on a stone, which still believe gives out the best flavour. then started selling only bhel at Re.1 and Rs.2. Today, 37 years later, sell it at Rs.60, but I can assure you that the taste and love with which it is prepared is still the same, who makes it a point to supervise the centralised kitchen every single day.

Kalyan Bhel is a renowned chaat destination in Pune, celebrated for its hygienic and flavorful offerings. Patrons frequently praise their signature bhel, a harmonious blend of crunchy puris, spicy chutneys, and fresh vegetables. The SPDP (Sev Puri Dahi Puri) is another standout, delivering a delightful mix of spicy, tangy, and sweet flavors.
