#malguditiffins #kothrud

Hello🌎 People today's review is on malgudi tiffins Ta,na,tana tana ta...had to get that out of my system!

Started in 2017,this place is truly favourite with the puneites. Serving udipi,mangalore,kerala style food only!

They make superb heavanely idlis We tried 1)Malgudi special moode:idlis wrapped in pine leaves. The screw pine leaves alomst make it a mystry to open this parcel as it is filled with thorns keeping it intact and here they had added toothpics...In udipi,mangalore the speciality is use fragrant leaves to makimg steaming hot healthy idlis.Here they have two options.One was pine Second was jackfruit. We tried the first.This had unique and distinct taste and flavours.The cylindrical shape of the idle in mangalore means moode.The flavour of coconut oil is distinct with the delicious coconut white chutney.

2)Tatte idli:A very popular by upahara darshinis in mangalore,udipi. Super soft,thick texture makes it different and made in a coating of podi masala gives it its unique flavour. Served with medium spicy sambaar and delicious lip smacking white coconut chutney

3(Malgapodi idli:Gunpowder idli.Made unique in flavours because of karnataka uses white dessicated coconut and ghee paradise. With just ghee,pinch of hing(aseofotida)gunpowder and the little pieces of idlis bob up and about with squeals of pur joy. Served with medium spiced sambaar and white coconut chutney

4)Appe:Paniyaram or paddu. Made with dosai batter,sweet red onions jewels,greenchilliesfresh teeny weeny coconut and this brings out the textures and flavours A superb refreshing change,when one doesn't want to indulge in dosai. Served with 👇 5)Filter kapi heaven.

They are known too for soft benne dosai,set dosai and tiffins served in the lunches. They also serve mangalore buns! Opens at 8am daily

They are awaiting their udipi cooks to return as lockdowns kept them in the village Once they come back You can emjoy piece de resistance thick,crisp brown benne dosai Also,we are told those cooks use to make different chutneys...

Name of this restaurant may attract South Indian food loving people. However the food quality is not at all up to the mark. Food items served here do not at all fulfil the expectations of visitors. The idlis are not at all served hot nor the Medu Vadas. Not tasty too. The Mangalorian buns are absolutely hopeless & so are the goli vade. Bisi bele rice tastes n looks like Dal Khichdi. No dosas here are tasty. Punjabi food also served here. But one can very well realise the fate of the Punjabi food quality here. If they cannot prepare South Indian food properly, how can they serve good or better Punjabi dishes ? Waiters are more likely to gossip amongst themselves. They just do not find enough time to pay attention to the customers. In a nutshell, better not to spend money n time over here.

All of the above is based on my experience at this eatery SIX YEARS AGO when it was located near Karishma, Kotharud, Pune.

Now that this eatery has shifted to the DP Road, on the banks of Mutha river, near Mhatre bridge

About A WEEK AGO, I visited this restaurant at its new location. I was surprised to view the ultimate change in everything concerned. The ambience is now nice, waiters were prompt and busy in attending the customers. Even whatever food items we ordered had a very good quality !

I wish this enjoyable change lasts forever !

We relished on Appam with stew which was delicious ! The stew was hot and savoury ! The Malgudi Special Dosa was really yummy ! The chutneys and sambar too were tasty ! However Davangere Benne Dosa was not up to the mark ! It wasn't like that is available at Davangere. There's definitely a scope for improvement in this food item. We did not taste the North Indian dishes here. So no comments as yet for it.

Now I recommend this eatery to the South Indian food lovers.

Now I do...

A Great Spot for Delicious Food

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this lovely restaurant, and I must say, it’s quite a good place for food. We opted for a South Indian breakfast, and it was truly the best I’ve had! The flavors were vibrant and authentic, making for a delightful start to the day.

The ambience of the restaurant is inviting and pleasant, creating a warm atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented as well.

Service was top-notch; the staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. I visited with a friend and was genuinely impressed by the overall vibe and quality of the food.

It’s worth noting that the place tends to get crowded during peak hours, so plan accordingly if you prefer a quieter dining experience. However, there is ample free parking available behind the entrance, which is a great convenience.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience here. It’s also a kid-friendly establishment, making it a great choice for families. I noticed many visitors stopping by after their morning walks, which adds to the lively atmosphere. Rates are quite reasonable.

I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious meal in a welcoming...
