Desi Appetite - Restaurant in Pune - Pune, India

Pros :- - Taste was great. - Price is very affordable.(attached pic was chicken handi and 6 chapati cost around 320/-) Cons:- - Space is less so it may hamper during peek hours.(Weekend lunch/dinner)

Desi Appetite is a charming, small open cafe that exudes coziness. The cafe's do-it-yourself vibe left a strong impression on me, and owner Namrata's evident dedication and creativity were truly inspiring.The cafe cleverly utilizes the available space beside the bungalow. It's a budget-friendly spot that promises an enjoyable leisure experience for everyone. However, the limited space is a drawback, leading to long waits during busy lunch and dinner hours. The food here justifies every penny spent, and the ambience is a reward for every moment spent. The service is commendable, and the food is presented well. It's a popular choice for many, including corporate professionals, employees, and students seeking an affordable meal.The only downside is the dessert options, with just the choice of gulab jamun available.

Loved the Atmosphere there Good food Amazing taste We had chicken Crispy And parotta with chicken masala

Due to one urgency we requested quick service, owner fullfilled it with super quick service without compromising the food quality. Chicken thali was delicious. Small but very neatly arranged ambience. Looking forward to visiting again. Keep up the good work Note: As we were in a hurry, didn't clicked any pics.

Never order Chinese here. True to its name, only Desi food is good. Congested place with music. Good to quickly have food but not for meeting your friends, you won't be able to hear each other. Service is not proactive.
