One of the most hygienic and pocket friendly meals I have ever had!

The place is well located on Tilak Road in Sadashiv peth and offers a delicious, hygienic and yet pocket friendly meal. The cuisine is Maharashtrian, wherein a Brinjal preparation (वांग्याची भाजी/ बैंगन की सब्जी), chapati, 'varan bhat' and Khichdi/ masala Bhat is served as the main course. No any sweet as such is served with the thali, however the delicious dahi wada is so soothing that it won't make you feel the absence of a desert. Additionally, Paneer bhaji, fried papad and a कोशिंबीर(salad raita) is like a cherry on the cake. The most important thing is you get all of this UNLIMITED at a price of ₹150; Absolutely worth it!

The staff is courteous and the service is quick.The only drawbacks that can be mentioned are, the non-availability of toilet (at least I didn't find one) and parking, especially for a four wheeler.

Summing up, a very good place and...

Quite a relishing cuisine ! Good Maharashtrian Thali in Pune city.

At just Rs.170, unlimited food items. However dessert is not included. We enjoyed the taste of the items in the thali. Chapati was served hot and it was soft n nice. Dry potato sabji was ok. Aluche Fadfade was good but not the best. Chhole Usal was up to the mark. Cucumber Raita tasted nice. Groundnut chutney was better. Pickle was not at all good. Aamti was so so ... did not contain काळं तिखट ... as served at Badshahi and Satvik Thali. Masale Bhaat was not so tasty. However hot Varan Bhaat n ghee was nice ! Dahi Vada was not up to the mark. Fried Udid Papad was served. Definitely there is a scope to improve the quality of certain food items !

Overall a satisfying experience ! Quick service and customer friendly approach of the staff ... appreciable ...

Parking for a four wheeler...
