Missal, one of Pune's most famous foods is truly been justified it's fame, flavor, uniqueness, and potential by Thorat's barbeque missal. Thorat's barbeque missal is precisely a missal in all its glory. The missal offered here comes in 4 different categories of flavours, each better than the other. The research, tradition, and culture of the origins of these categories done by the team, truly shows in each and ever bite of the missal you take.
The unlimited misal which you can order for 99/- INR comes with 4 different kinds of rassas(the broth of the missal), unlimited grilled paav, and condiments like farrsan, poha, boiled potatoes, yogurt, matki, chopped onions, etc The four different kinds of broths i.e. puneri, Nashik, jain, and my personal favorite kolhapur, truly burst with distinct flavours and create an absolutely beautiful harmony of spice flavors in every bite.
To be more descriptive: the puneri and kolhapuri broths were two of my absolute favourite, having a slightly spicier flavor profile than others, sharp notes of chilly peppers were dominant, and you could definitely feel the spice heat in them. The Jain broth was on the sweeter side, not much spicy, had apparent flavor notes of coriander and jaggery too. The Nashik broth, was a thicker broth made from the classic Nashik black masala.
The paav which were served to us, were hot right out of the grill and absolutely how a missal bread should be like. Soft on the inside and moderately crisp due to the grill on the outside.
All the condiments went really well with the broths. The yogurt especially helped cool down the heat from the kolhapuri and puneri broths. Layering the condiments for the missal was in itself a fun experience.
We had also ordered gulab jamun after our missal- hands down one of THE best gulab jamuns which I've ever had, perfectly warm, melt in your mouth, absolutely bang on amount of sweetness, and a very balanced soft texture throughout.
The staff was extremely polite to us and was always available at our service, taking care of whatever we needed was brought to us in the least time possible.
Thorat's barbeque missal truly is an experience which I'm going to cherish and remember for a while, the warmth of the food and the staff and the modern touch added to the rusticness of the super spacious missal place ambiance went perfectly well together.
Would surely be looking forward for more good times at thorat's :)

Critics: The barbeque didn't help much as the broths were cooling down pretty quick, the coal smoke wasnt essentially helping add any flavor to the missal too, wouldved loved it if the broths had stayed hot for a longer time. Secondly, the music was a bit too loud, I perhaps myself too shoudved asked the staff to tone it down, but since I was engaged in a conversation (which I couldn't hear clearly) with friends, I couldn't. Besides it's the staffs duty in some capacities to ask us if we're okay with the music. But nonetheless, it was genuinly a great...
Read moreI have been to this place before as well… but the taste at that time was not so good . They had their 1st outlet in pune near NAWALE BRIDGE , Katraj . Now they have expanded their franchise outlets all over pune at multiple location. They have this amazing concept of serving the MISAL to their customers over the BBQ table with some coal grilling to keep the ‘Tarrie’ hot and tasty all the time. The food definitely catches up with the mixed charcoal flavour which adds to their taste and make this place unique. They serve 4 type of tarrie - PUNERI , KOLHAPURI , NASHIK , JAIN … I have tried and taste all of them , out of those i really loved the NASHIK & KOLHAPURI . The Nashik one was non spicy and if you love spicy then go with Kolhapuri . They serve you with unlimited pav , Namkeen , onion , dahi , poha ,sprouts , potato etc. You just have to call for it and they will ensure that all your requests are taken care of … the service is very quick and nice. The staff is professional and polite. This place has ample of parking space for cars as well as bike . Thr ambience of this place is very Maratha authentic and traditional. The last time i had visited their outlets , the taste was a bit bland but trust me they have worked upon that really well and you guys can definitely figure this out by your own ... do visit . Place looks very clean and hygienic and all the precautions are being followed here considering the covid 19 situation. They maintain the social distancing too . The restaurant also serves hot chai , lassi or taak as per your request. They accept payment through card/cash/UPI.
