Could have been softer. All the flavor from the kothimbir was lost Vada Pav 3/5 - the vada was great, the pav was a disappointment. It was bun and not exactly pav. Too dry Puri bhaji 4/5 loved the bhaji (salt was less) the puri was okay. The Shrikhand was quite good Bhel Puri 3/5 was alright - nothing stood out positively or negatively about it. You could skip it. Pani Puri 2/5 - don't order it. You'll be disappointed if you did :/ Overall, I'd recommend going there if it has been a long time since you had Marathi food and are just craving it. It could be that this place is better for Malvani seafood and meat-based dishes but nothing extraordinary about the vegetarian food. Service was good and the place is tidy. Restrooms separate for male and female - maintained well. The restaurant is in a shopping plaza so plenty of free parking in the lot outside.

Inviting ambience attentive staff and nowto the food . Appetizers Thecha Paneer and kothimbir wadi were lip smacking delicious but the seafood thali was a let down . Surmai fry was the only saving grace . The fish curry lacked the kokum punch and the sukkat ( dried fish ) failed to impress . The Rice Bakri was made well . But the combination with the fish curry was blah. Gulab Jamun was soft with mellow sweetness. Maybe their Maharashtrian lighter fare may be worthy of an another try . Will post an update if we tried it again .

This was our first time here. We came for lunch with friends and were seated promptly. The…read morerestaurant is spacious with a good amount of seating, so it felt comfortable and not crowded. We ordered two thalis, which were good. The spice level was moderate, not too hot, and overall the food was decent. I was especially excited to try the Hyderabadi Dum Biryani because it's rare to find a place that makes it authentically dum style. Before ordering, I specifically asked our server if it was actually dum cooked, and she said yes. Based on that, I ordered it and also asked for it to be spicy. Unfortunately, the biryani wasn't spicy and was pretty tasteless for me, so I mentioned it to our server. This is where the service really stood out. She was very nice about it, acknowledged my concern, and offered to replace it with Chinese fried rice based on what I was looking for. For a first-time visit, the biryani was definitely disappointing, but I really appreciated how well our server handled the situation. Good customer service can make a big difference when something doesn't go as expected, and that's what made this a better experience for us. Giving 4 stars mainly because of the service, along with the decent thalis and comfortable, spacious seating.
