Sambar Aromas of South - South Indian restaurant in Pune - Pune, India

Sambar has been my favourite place since a long long time for South Indian food, but visited this location for the first time and I must say , I preferred the quality of food here. I started with the filter coffee, and it was absolutely perfect. The best one I have had in town. I ordered a Mr. Swamy combo which includes idli, Wada, Upma, Sheera, & masala dosa ... why would I choose one when I get the entire breakfast combo for just rs.150/- . Another fantastic choice I tried and would recommend in case you visit at lunchtime is the South Indian thali meal . A homely experience which includes puris, papad , rasam , dal, kadi ,rice etc ... a complete meal . And I must mention the service is quick and the food absolutely delicious.

We were offered a seat on the first floor, which was very suffocating. We came here during peak hours on a Sunday. Dishes were good in terms of taste, acidity, balance. The Rava Idli was very interesting, and so was the Manglorean dish. Wasn't oily at all. Kesarbath was really nice. BUT!!! There are a few problems with this place. Utensils are not washed properly. Staff service was really bad. I can understand peak hour rush, but MAN, they took 30 minutes to get one button podi Idli. My guess is, they forgot to take the order. MOST IMPORTANTLY, the water over here is problematic. I exhausted our water, and was really thirsty so we ordered a Bisleri, which they did not bring at all. So I had to drink a bit out of their jug. I caught an infection a couple of days later, and the doctor said the reason was outside water. I also didn't eat/drink outside this month other than Sambar, so it's my educated guess. So, get your own water wherever you go. Also, they charged us for the bisleri which never arrived.

Good for South Indian dishes like idli,dosas,uttapa,etc....Thali was average and felt the price to be more.Filter coffee was nice too.

Totally disappointed, If you are looking for proper South Indian food then not the right place. We ordered 1 set dosa and Puri sagu which are supposed to be the all time best south Indian food but dosa were sweet and and small in size , sambar was like tamarind chutney, overall it was bad experience having dosa. We thought at least Puri sagu will be better but disappointed again it's was way more worst than dosa the sagu was like a pithla and as you can see Puri was too oily. Overall authenticity of South Indian food is missing. Let's hope they'll do better ahead.

Awesome south indian dishes. Tasty idli , medu wada sambar. Location is good. Service is good.

Very yum South Indian food place to have. I've tasted various item like set dosa, maysor masala dosa, paper dosa, uttppa and all were tasty at very fair prices

Good infrastructure but lack of hospitality. I visited the restaurant twice, before penning down this review. The waiter and manager are untrained folks. The system is discriminatory, one has to take the coupon first. Or by luck you will get the order without coupon. The restaurant has moderate infrastructure but lack of vision making it useless. The most neglected part is the customer. As the old tradition of Pune. Filter coffee is trash. And dosa and uttapa don't taste fresh. Overall - Not recommend

We tried Wada sambar, Mysore dosa it was really awesome.. we also tried chole bhature.. though it is South Indian restaurant but chole bhature was very delicious.. a must try place
