Yumma Swami — Restaurant in Pune

🟥 OVERALL EXPERIENCE -

If patience is your strongest virtue or if you're into testing your limits... you’ve found the right place.

In short... YOU WAIT. Then you wait some more. And when you think you’ve waited enough... surprise! You wait again. #Management flops, flavors pop!

Jump to end for 5 star breakdown.

🟥 DETAILS IF NEED - This restaurant can bring out a hidden writer in you.

🔴 WORST MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE -

Be prepared to WAIT AT EVERY SINGLE STEP

Wait to get a table Wait to get the menu (only if you ASK for it) Wait for water Wait for your food And worst of all, wait while they forget you even exist.

🟠 THE STAFF? Magicians. They disappear, Barely attentive. You’ll be trying to catch their attention like you're invisible.

🔵 THE MANAGER? Possibly imaginary, Probably busy on their phone good luck spotting them.

🟠 TOTAL DURATION - Nearly 3 hours of wasted time.

Waiting for a table – 30 minutes Waiting for a menu – 10-15 minutes (after asking for it) Time taken to place the order – 12.53 minutes Order delivery – 27.38 minutes, with frustrating gaps of 8–14 minutes between items even if you ordered everything at once.

That is, if they don’t forget your order or forget you entirely.

🟢 FOOD - Surprisingly good. Brilliant flavors—especially the coconut chutney (a star!) and tomato chutney for fans. The podi they use in dishes elevates every bite.

MUST-TRY:

1. Mini podi idli
2. filter coffee ☕
3. Dahi vada

VERDICT: Come only if you’re ready to be ignored… but at least your taste buds will be happy. #Ignored by staff, saved by chutney n coffee ☕

🟣 NOTE / WARNING:

If it’s a weekend, seriously RETHINK YOUR CHOICE unless you enjoy poor service and wasting time. Prices are on the higher side, and definitely not justified by this kind of experience.

YOU DESERVE BETTER. CHOOSE WISELY.

Really very bad pathetic scamm like feeling

Compared to Vaishali, Nadhbramha, mauli, mankar It's worst really worst in taste and quantity is 50% than all

Ordered Mysore masala Dosa and it comes with heavy onion n some krappy masala same like we have in masala pav in pav bhaji stalls. Soo really stupid.

Ordered cheese masala dosaaaa and for our shock cheese was like a water log in desert. They are real scammer in giving Big names to dishes but quantity n quality is bad n real bad that street food also

Then we Ordered appam and it's the smallest dis h in the world I have seen for a sound indian dish really smaller than any Adult hands. In it's price other giv triple the size dish with ample quantity of food.

Then came corn Pakodas. Looking at them we thought atleast 1 dish we Ordered right. But the scamm started with outside superb looking but inside pakodas were nothing. No taste no corn nor any bud activating feel like even any other pakodas have.

Then cane uttappa which was like a rubber feeling thick more than pencil thickness Full of onions but again 2days of fridge kept coriander used which was looking worst n tasted also bad.

After waiting 35 mins for coconut dosa the person came and said there is no coconut dosa avalaible. Already we were frustrated lik as there is no ac no proper fans kept n ambience is like u are in your own bungalow parking.

Also cold coffee was good but too over priced

And mint fresh was again like worst or more bad than that

For our shock in billing they added extra double cheese amount which was a joke

Very bad pathetic experience Felt like I was cheated professionally abd mentally also

Mind it there good reviews are also a scam may be as it's worst food place ever we...

Yumma Swami is a famous franchaise known for its speciality south Indian cuisine recently started at Mukund Nagar near Swargate .

Location - located near Swargate area opposite Sujay Commercial complex . Convenient as located at heart of the city . The only problem is if you are driving a car you need to find your parking place.

What I have ordered :

Ghee Tatte Idli : Ghee Tatte idli is signature dish from the house . A big idli portion satisfying your taste buds for sure . Chataney's are too good and seved in perfect portion to idli. Must try.

Masala Appam : Taste good but not satisfied with the portion compare to other servings here.

Dahi wada : Authentic Dahi wada taste served with a small portion just help you add up some unique taste with south indian cuisine.

Lemon rice : A superb lemon 🍋 rice is a great finisher . Amazing

A special ☕ Coffee - Can't miss the coffee .. if you are a coffee lover

Ambience : Just loved the way they have created Simple yet impressive ambience . Perfectly decorated trees , balanced black kadappa gives you special feeling about this place . One can experience different seating option . Chairs are also quite comfortable . Loved the seating as this old bunglow is converted to a beautiful restaurant with small south indian detailings like paintings and other things . 💯% experiencial.

Loved it...

Positives : #Location Hyegine ambience food Professional Staff

Negatives : food portions order turnaround time overpriced considering cuisine but can't blame considering setup cost.

Still a good choice if you are south indian lover....
