Badshahi Lodging & Boarding - Maharashtrian Restaurant in Pune - Pune, India

Nice authentic Maharashtrian place with old world charm. Something from the bygone era. It's more than 60 years old and actually looks that old. I felt it's slightly pricey for what it offers but anyway it is a great place after you are fasting or if you are nearby and want to eat something truly Maharashtrian. Parking for car is next to impossible but bikes can be managed somehow.

Simple and Satvik Marathi Thali @160/- Pure veg. You can see my Thali pics for reference. Sweet available here at extra cost. All items served in pangat style. I visited for lunch. Must visit if you are around Tilak road.

It took 15 years to visit Badahahi. When I wanted to visit in 2007, Badshahi was under renovation. Just visited. Too crowded in the afternoon. Parking is a bit of an issue but when we entered they helped us get the table. We ordered a Misal. Fantastic. We had Misal Pav like nobody is around us.

Established in 1960, serves maharashtrian, South Indian snacks. They also serve unique Maharashtrian food preparation e.g. batata toast, upwasachi misal (misal for fast), ghawan etc. They do have special menu for fast which is available on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.

One of the oldest pure vegetarian food joint in Pune city. Famous for its Upvas (fasting) menu. Taste is really great. Always a crowded place. Quantity is large for most of the dishes but yes, this place is costly. Staff is very attentive, service is fast. Upvas misal, and variety of upvas baskets is most popular dishes amongst food lovers here. A must place you need to visit for unique menu and unique taste.

It's the oldest restaurant and famous for fasting food , But try it in navratri special, It's a very regular food that tastes like Street food , Many Street food restaurants have the same taste in lower prices, Very disappointing taste and quality of shabudana Wada, Upwas sambhar taste like groundnut water . Batata wada also over cooked. They don't have any staff to serve and a very confusing token system,

It's probably the only restaurant I know which has so many typical Marathi/ Maharashtrian dishes. Every Monday, Thursday and Saturday there are about 20 options for those who are on fast. Heard a lot about Batata Toast and Upwas Misal, but not as per expectation.

If you wanna have your comfort, feel good, soul soothing food, this is THE PLACE. They serve simple home-like meal at reasonable price and you surely won't feel stuffed yet feel satisfied after eating. Plan properly if you're visiting on weekends as it is crowded.
