Last night was a disaster due to the food provided here. Food - We were two of us, and we thought to check for thali , cause we were expecting it to be unlimited. We were been told as it's a sharing bit that we will be doing so it will be limited. Which we understood and came to the terms of eating it as a limited thali itself. Food presentation was not good and the soup was not good either. Rice given to us was a biryani mixture which was very less. Then we had not been given the lemon either initially. We had to ask for it. Later, the food which was provided had spills all over the plate. There was too much of pickle even more than the chicken kheema. Jowar roti was soft and good. The entire thali had only two things which were good chicken kheema and jowar roti which were given in least. In the other part of chicken sukkha only the neck pieces were given and only one single piece which was worth eating

Service - the manager didnt have the patience at all for waiting on the table. He had a running nose and didn't bother to wear a mask. He was showing very little interest in waiting for us to order. The waiters were not ready to give basic things like water(refilling of water) or lemons or even rice until asked for. Also unless asked for an extra plate or cutlery they didn't proactively provide it.

Ambience- unclean and almost every person seemed like they didn't't clean up properly. When I went to the washroom as well it was unclean and unhygienic. The glass in which they served water was not cleaned properly.

The person in the parking was also clumsy and didn't bother to tell initially that the parking is available.

Not a place to go...

It was a long time bucket list place for me. I always visited the outlet near Satara while going to Kolhapur, Mahabaleshwar, goa.

We had reserved table for an odd figure 11 and still they arranged place for us with ease.

We majorly ordered for mutton thali which comprises of Mutton Fry Tambda (red masala curry) Pandhra Rassa (white curry, coconut milk base) Mutton kheema Boiled egg Option for Chapati/bhakari/ Tandoori roti Option for rice was Biryani/ indrayani plain rice/ jeera rice.... Few of us were disappointed with the the taste as we had been to the Satara outlet and it did not carry our expectations.

We also order for:-

Mutton kharda We expected a bit spicy as the Name describes KHARDA, but it was not at all spicy. Tasted good.

Chicken fry:- For kids actually and the spice was well balanced

Chicken Malai kebab:- Again for kids and they loved it.

Solkadi:- Tasted good with perfect sweet and tangy taste.

They had recently introduces Alni Bhath, which is a combination of Mutton stock and indrayani rices cooked together with soft pieces of Mutton like liver. They offered us a complimentary portion to taste and it tasted really good. We wished to have more but we were already full and could not find more space for it.
