Modern Cafe — Restaurant in Pune

This restaurant has been around for many years. My friend mentioned that they used to visit it often whenever they were nearby. I finally got the chance to try it myself on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan.

📍 Location: It’s in the Shivaji Nagar area. The place was crowded, but we still managed to get a table without much waiting.

🍽 Food: We ordered Kaju Masala, Paneer Masala, their famous Triranga Masala, and Butter Roti. To end the meal, we had Dal Tadka with Jeera Rice.

All the dishes were delicious, with generous portions.

I’m really happy that after a long time, I enjoyed such tasty food at such a reasonable price.

🏠 Ambience: The ambience is simple, neat, and pleasant. Service was a little slow, but nothing too inconvenient.

💰 Price: The food here is cheaper compared to other restaurants in the area, and both the quality and quantity are great for the price.

✨ Overall Experience: It was a nice outing, and we enjoyed our meal. My friend feels the taste has changed a bit over time, but it’s still good. Maybe their Punjabi cuisine is the highlight—we haven’t tried that yet, but it’s worth exploring. Definitely a place you can visit at least once.

🚗 Extra: Free parking available for both cars and bikes.

Thank you, and follow for more honest and...

This restaurant is very old. My parents told me that they used visit this restaurant whenever they were near this place. I got a chance to visit this place.

The place is in Shivaji Nagar area and was crowded but we managed to get the table easily.

Food: We ordered their Veg Thali, Masala Dosa, Onion Uttapam and Special Veg Pizza.

Veg Thali contains 3 Subji, Rassam, Daal, Rice, Dahi Wati, One Sweet Dish, 2 Roti, Papad and Glass of Buttermilk. All items very good but not great but the quantity was huge.

Masala Dosa and Onion Uttapam was tasty and had a good portion. Within ordered food items these 2 were the best.

Special Veg Pizza had a lot of veggies and on top of that Cheese. This was Ok not the best.

Ambience: Ambience was nice. Not the best but simple and neat. Service was bit slow. We always had to call the waiter.

Price: Food is cheaper here compared to the other restaurants in that area. Quality and Quantity is good compared to price.

Overall it was a nice experience. Parent enjoyed their old memories. As per their feedback taste has changed but still it's good. May be Punjabi Cuisine is best. We haven't tried that. So you can definitely visit...

It is one of the oldest udupi restaurant located in central part of Pune. Comparatively, when Pune was not big metro city, Modern Cafe was one of the prestigious and Fine Dine restaurant on the corner of JM Road, near to COEP, Institute of Engineers, SSCE Board, Akashvani, Shivajinagar Railway and bus hub.
