Insider Tips

While the joint clearly favours the carnivores, vegetarians need not fear at all. The superb akkha masoor dal, Varadhi shev bhaji, dahi pithla-bhakri and kaju usal here are totally divine, too
Some of their appetizers are particularly unique – take on for size the fried papad topped with kheema masala, the cheesy prawn pizza on a bhakri base, or the sumptuous egg pakodas
You will not wilt in the summer or shrivel up in the winter here. For the former, there is a seriously excellent solkadhi and Marathi-style buttermilk; for the latter, the mutton ukkad is incomparable

Whether you choose to go the à la carte or thali way here, you are totally spoilt for choice. In the latter, the kaala mutton/chicken thali is known to have wowed the tastebuds of whoever has dug in – all eyes on the exquisite unlimited pandhra (white) and tambda (red) rassas (spicy stock) served with the platter, please. There is also an egg and fish thali option, amid several variations on the general theme, that are definitely worth an order. When it comes to à la carte, while the restaurant dabbles in a handful of Moghlai preparations, it is seriously recommended to not miss out on the authentic Marathi fare promised. Try pairing a Varhadi chicken handi, a zanzanit (super-fiery) mutton, or a kheema-prawns (!) fry with their sukkat fried rice, masala dahi bhaat or butter bhakri – and, do not forget to throw in some masala kurdai papdi and dahi kanda (curd-onion) for added crunch. Wash down the fires with a sweet-salted lassi as you enjoy the simple and traditional family restaurant kind of décor and solicitous service.
