Overall review?
First of all I just loved the ambiance. All Maharashtrian cultural things and marathi music gives more authentic feel. We ordered chicken Sukka and biryani. You can eat chicken Sukka with chapati, It tastes sooo delicious. I wanna go one more time just for that. Biryani was also awesome. In kharvas they put jaggery on top. It tastes okay but the starter and biryani are surely the winners.
Ambiance of this place is awesome no other word and matan loncha was also superb (APRATIM) that's the only word is enough.

"मराठी पाऊल पडते पुढे"
When I heard about a pure Maharashtrian fine dine restaurant concept, first lines that came up in my mind were exactly these. Being "अस्सल मराठी" I would always wonder why there are not many Maharashtrian fine dine restaurants in Pune. Let's be fair guys. Although there are so many fine dine restaurants in Pune, Marathi fine dine restaurants are scarce. But this, ladies and gentlemen, is the best fine dine I've ever came across (but nonetheless, I still think Marathi fine dines should thrive more)
The ambiance. WOW! This restaurant has Maharashtrian touch all over it. The wall paintings, the wooden doors, the wooden pillars, the utensils in which the food was served. Each and everything is very Marathi. Very authentic!
We have ordered:
Mutton Masala: Generous pieces of mutton prepared in coconut based gravy. Mutton was very well cooked and it was so tender that we could easily break it without much efforts. The gravy was little bit sweet but it was very well balanced. The sweetness was not overwhelming and perfectly complimented the spiciness of masala.
Goan Prawns Curry: Many people who have actually tried Goan curry would know how delicious that curry is. Prawns were tender and they soaked all the flavors of curry in them. Curry was mildly spicy and had that creamy texture which only comes from pure coconut milk.
Pithla: Having a vegetarian friend in your group means you have to order something vegetarian. So that is why we have ordered pithla. And my god! The pithla was exactly the same as my mother makes it at home. To be honest, this is the best pithla I have tried outside.
Jwari chi bhakri: The bhakris were soft and good. Homely again.
Amboli (आंबोळी): Those people who don't know what amboli is, it is the Marathi name for, ya know, DOSA. Now this I think was the STAR of the entire menu that we ordered so far. I don't even have the words to describe how good it was. It was basically the flavor bomb in my mouth. Soft, little crispy, sweet and sour amboli. And with the Goan curry, it was creating absolute magic. Absolute चुम्मा!
Rice (Ambemohor/आंबेमोहोर): Having tasted Indrayani rice so many times, we decided to try Ambemohor variety of rice that has been served here. Ambemohor is very fragrant variety of rice which is typically grown at the foothills of Western ghats. The rice had a subtle sweetness in it and it was absolutely fantastic. Again, tasted best with pithla and prawns curry.
The restaurant is pretty costly. But don't expect it to be cheap by any measure. Fine dine restaurants are never cheap. They are always exorbitant. But what makes them worthwhile or not depends upon the food and kind of experience you get there. And both the aspect here are top-notch. Food is homely and ambiance is stupendous. Need I say more? I don't think so! #happyeating
