Rare gem with homely, unique flavours ★★★★★
“It is a rare gem that serves good food with homely flavours. We started with paya soup and it was soothing and decadent and left us with a raving appetite. This was followed by their black pepper crab, rozali kebab, prawns butter garlic and aromatic thai steamed chicken. The flavours were all unique and left us really satiated. Our final dish of the night, butter chicken was a perfect finish to this amazing meal. The owner is extremely warm and suggested us such amazing dishes. Her joviality and warmth is worth noting. Overall, this was a brilliant find and I would suggest that everyone should try this at-least once.”

Authentic Malwani royal thali, taste 10/10 ★★★★★
“Visited this amazing place which serves authentic malwani food which is so so delicious 🥰❤️ They serve royal thali in which you will get variety of dishes, one fried chicken, biryani tikka all in one plate inclusive of one dessert and trust me the taste was a 10/10🥰 You can also find traditional mutton and surmai thali over here with no compromise in taste ❤️🥰 Their seasonal desserts are just so heavenly the owner itself prepares the dessert here and attends the customer by herself which makes it more welcoming🥰 Their ambiance is a proper Maratha vada which makes the food more and more delicious 🥰❤️”

Yum, flavourful food with 10/10 service ★★★★★
“We had mutton thali, pomfret thali and boneless chicken biryani along with their newest addition of masala papad which was made from poha ig. So i don't comment on veg food, comment is solely based on the non veg experience we had. The food was so yum and flavourful. Service and atmosphere was totally 10/10. The owner personally came to us twice and she gently ask how's was the food, is everything alright (which i genuinely appreciate as many of restaurants owner doesn't do this) Our in all experience was best. Highly recommended to all kalyankars”

Truly homemade Maharashtrian 'ghar ka jevan' touch ★★★★★
“If you’re craving authentic Maharashtrian flavors, this place is a must-visit. The food feels truly homemade, with rich spices, balanced flavors, and that comforting “ghar ka jevan” touch. From the perfectly cooked bhakri to the flavorful chicken gravy, every dish reflects tradition and care. The service is warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a great spot to enjoy real Maharashtrian cuisine.”
