Aaswad Upahar & Mithai Gruh

Unclaimed

Maharashtrian vegetarian restaurant, with only AC section for dining. Expect at least 15-30 min waiting time before being seated. Food is good and service is fast, courteous and professional. Speciality desserts are not so special. They are trying to take care of hygiene and cleanliness.

Ambience of the place is very good, The staff is friendly and gives you a warm welcome when you enter the hotel. I tired their misal pav and bata vada along with the tea, The taste of the misal has country side flaours however I would rate it above average also the quanity is small, Farsan taste is not that great, Bata vada has light taste of ginger but its more like bonda in south served with coconut chutney and lasun dry chutney, Tea nothing but milk with missing tea powder. However please vist for the ambience and staff courtousy and they have many other items which you can explore

This was my second visit to the establishment, this time post-lunch following a business meeting held at the venue. We sampled a range of traditional fare including vada pav, aloo wadi, and poori bhaji — all of which were well-prepared and flavorful. The highlight, however, was the modak, both regular and mango varieties, which stood out for their taste and freshness. To conclude the meal, we ordered tea, which unfortunately did not meet the same standard as the rest of the offerings. The total bill came to a little over 600 for two, which felt reasonable given the quality and variety. The ambiance has been notably improved with the recent renovation of the first floor — the space now feels more refined and inviting. Conveniently located diagonally opposite Sena Bhavan, it’s a spot worth visiting for those in the area. The only drawback is the lack of parking. Securing a spot nearby can be a genuine challenge. Introducing valet parking, even on a paid basis, could significantly enhance the overall guest experience. Overall, a satisfying experience and a place I would consider revisiting.

This place serves authentic maharashtrian food. The stuff is very helpful and has great suggestions. I got the thaalipeet, kothimbirwadi, misal pao, modak, and lastly puranpoli ice cream, which is their specialty. I couldn’t try their aamras and other mango specials, but I really look forward to going these again.
