Amazing Food , Amazing Staff and good hygiene. A must-go for Pure Non-veg peeps .
A little crowded all the time
It's must try restuarant.... घरगुती चव आणि पोटभर जेवण
A 15 minute wait for decent food I don’t think it’s a bad deal.
We order chicken Thali which was very great in taste.
it was proper Maharashtrian style food and budget friendly as well but the main point is you have to do wait for that around 20 to 25 minutes and there is no proper space for four wheeler parking and you are lucky as well if you will get two wheeler parking.
Thali was nice , Biryani was also nice but very oily
One of the many good eateries in the Sadashiv peth area. I have been here many a times and don't have anything to complain about. There mutton masala thali, mutton biryani are a must try! The sitting area and ambience is very simple but clean and hygienic.
Tambda-Pandhra rassa is 👌👌😁
I tried this old classic "Puneri" style Khanawal recently. One of my friend suggested me to try this hotel because I am a big fan of "Pandhra-Tambda Rassa".
Well, I ordered Mutton Masala Thali which is I think best seller menu of them. It has pandhra rassa, tambda Rassa, alani soup, chapati/bhakri (Jwari or Bajri), rice and 4-5 mutton pieces in thick gravy/masala. Taste was just awesome. Mutton pieces were well cooked. Tambda Rassa was great (though I am pandhra rassa lover).
Only disappointing thing is that Pandhra Rassa was limited.
But according to me, this is a must try destination.
Value for money.
Best for Nonveg lovers
Mouthwatering Food
Superb Kolhapuri Taste
Overall must visited place in sadashiv peth.
It will never disappoint.
If u wana eat traditional marathi non-veg food then this is one of the place to visit..as name says it's like a mess, if u are 1-2 people then you may need to share table with other customers..
But food is great..their thalis are famous.. However, I like their biryani.. it's balanced in taste, not too much oil or masala.. quality is also enough for two.. and cost is also reasonable..
Place is mostly crowded and you may need to wait to get the table but worth of time and money..
Very tasty food. Value for money. Had chicken thali there. It's was superb. Perfectly spiced as it should be. It's a small outlet and may have a wait time. It's worth the wait though.
Been here with my colleagues for a lunch.
Super value for money restaurant, no ambience as such this is simple restaurant where ppl come to have meal and not for ambience. Service was good and they were happy to serve you if you ask for more gravy !
Food was good, mainly I felt more value for money kinda restaurant. Getting non veg thali at this bucks and that too food was good in taste. Good that !
One should try once to have thali from here, don't forget light on pocket :)
Food - 3/5
VFM - 5/5
Service - 4/5
Ambience ..... :D
Ultimate home-made non veg thali..
Value for money ...
Personally I enjoyed Ford here since last 14-15 years ....
Just one problem is ,it is not spacious ,so you have to adjust ...
सरळ...साधं... आणि स्वदिष्ठ
Authentic taste...Serve with affection and homely atmosphere..Flavours are good.. Taste that gives you feeling of घरच जेवण...जर तुम्हाला खरे महाराष्ट्रीयन नॉन वेग हवे असेल तर ...This is the place you should visit...
Weekends attract lots of crowd so be ready to wait fr 15-20min...
Absolutely the best maharastrian mutton biryani I have had. These guys really know how to make the biryani good masala and nice juicy pieces of mutton really cooked well to the level that it drops to the bone.
I have tried the thali but I would prefer the mutton biryani everyday.
Legendary place is all i can say.....
Visited this place on a weekday for lunch and to my surprise had to wait or actually que up to experience this heavenly food....
We ordered the Mutton Thali roughly priced around 170 and it was just lip smacking good, the thali had the classic 2 rassas the pandra and tambda rassa, a bowl of mutton kheema, a bowl of alani or mutton stock as they call it which was just out of this world.
The mutton curry was evenly spiced with good portions of mutton pieces.
You can either choose to have bhakri or chappati.
They also serve you a portion of rice to sum it up.....
We also ordered the Mutton Kalegi Fry, which is highly recommended priced roughly at around 135 and is just more than worth the price.
Spicy and succulent, the kalegi was cooked perfectly and to the point.....
They have the thali options in Chicken and Egg as well and also have some good Biryani options which i wish to try the next time I am around....
The ambience is OK and you might end up sharing tables with other customers on most occasions, but honestly who cares when the food is so good.....
Just FYI this place has been operational for almost 115 year's and the reason being their lip smacking food...😍😍😍😍
Highly recommended for their Thalis 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Aware Maratha Khanawal
Kumthekar road,behind Kulkarni petrol pump.
This one of the go to place to have a good mutton or chicken thalis in town.
Decor is very simple but clean,service is fast and be prepared to share table with strangers if it gets crowded like most of the Khanawal.
After having much needed glass of water in this heat ordered a Kheema fry thali.(170rs)
Thali comes with Tambada,padhara and alani rassa with Kheema bowl(small)and fry mutton along with choice between bhakari or poli.
Other than Kheema everything was spot on rassa is not very spicy but very rich in flavours. Don’t expect this like a Kolhapur flavoured curries.
Dry mutton in onion base masala is lip smacking.
Kheema can do better as it was missing the texture of meat which I like.
Overall this place is one of the economical and tasteful places in city centre.
Total value for money!
Nothing extravagant, but where will you get a non veg thali for less than 200 bucks these days??? Couple it with delicious food items, and the place definitely deserves a 4 star and more but nothing less. (It almost feels like they are doing some kind of a social work there :p..)
Visited Aware Khanawal around 2pm on a Saturday afternoon, and got a table within 10 mins (Be ready to share your table incase you're alone or visiting as a couple). Ordered Chicken masala thali and 1 special chicken Biryani. The chicken was simply perfect with the correct amount of spices, special mention to the lip smacking 'tarri'. Jwari bhakri was nice and soft. Biryani was quite flavoursome too but a tad dry, however what made the Biryani special is I think the chicken pieces which were nicely tandoori done and very tasty. Thali quantity is more than enough for one. Solkadhi was good too but I found it a little watery.
Overall you surely won't be disappointed after visiting this Khanawal..
Cheers to the team!
My long time favourite restaurant since 2004. It's one of the oldest restaurant in Pune since British government was there. So the place is too popular in foodies.
Ohh... whenever you crave for desi mutton and chicken food... this is definitely the place to visit or to order home delivery from!
They are know for their thalis. Supper spicy 🌶 and tasty 😋 food.
Must visit if you are a true non-vegetarian!
## 115 ##
Shandaar...Zabardast...Zindabad!
Does a restaurant having been completed 117+ years of establishment and serving Punekar's needs a review? I don't think so!
Some restaurant are beyond rating and review and I would consider Aware being one of best and legacy khanawal from Pune.
Got a previledge to visit recently this place with family.
Now about food,
Originally they started as pure non veg khanawal from being best in their maharashtrian cusines and now expanded into many more with next gen trends.
This time we Ordered chicken thali and egg masala thali.
Both dishes were excellent in terms of taste , quality and quantity.
They serve unlimited tambada rassa and thats really great.

Again a place which don't require introduction. I went there with my wife recently only to find waiting que. The guy there asked in marathi 'family aahe ka'. I said yes and they allowed us because they had a space for 2 on a family table. :) Welcome to community dining where there are tables for stags and tables for families to share. We ordered Mutton Masala Thali and Mutton Alani Thali. Both were super awesome. The service was quicker than ever and the ambience of khanawal made us nostalgic, Pune rocks!
This is the best nonveg 'Khanaval' or Dining Hall in Pune. Best Quality food at the Cheapest cost. My favorite here is the Chicken Biryani and Chicken Fry Thali. You can try out the other Thalis too. Quantity too is good. It is crowded during lunch and dinner timings especially on Sundays and Holidays. Will have to wait atleast 30 minutes before u get a seat. But it's worth it guys. Highly recommend this place near Alka Talkies if you are coming to Pune.
Food quality was good for thali but biryani was not up to the mark, waiting time was more , space in the hotel was less but we'll managed. There is a scope of improvement
Aaware maratha khanawal.. what can I say about this place. Simply amazing. Taste of Tanbada rassa is just out of the world. Really value for money place.
Highly recommended.
Was my first time at Aware, we were lucky enough to get a seat as soon as we arrived. Best part was that service was quick and both the thalis that we ate weren’t unreasonably spicy but suited our palates. I was the happiest cause their stock soup aka alani was on point.
Best Maharashtrian Non-Vegeterian in Pune. The place is actually nothing short of a legend. I personally love there Mutton thali and mutton fry. Generally it is crowded so be there at 7.30 pm to 8 pm sharp.
This is one of the best Place to have Non-Veg in Pune. You can get Veg and Non-Veg thali at Aware Marathe Khanawal at very reasonable rate. Ambience is not that great but food quality is just awesome.
We’d to wait for 30 minutes till we got a table. The wait was justified with the quality of food. Mutton thali at 150 Rs. is a steal. Although we didn’t like Bhakris as much as we liked them at Saoji Khamang in KP. Given the price difference we can’t complain.
A very crowded place ...famous for bachelor's and group of studs ... this place is purely serves maharashtrian non veg cuisine ...not to expect any butter chicken or punjabi stock for that matter .... if you are a desi marathi non veg eater you will love this place .....
All thalis served are awesome ...With curry/rassa served here is awesome ... a light and delightful lunch/dinner in very cost effective budget ...what one can expect
Service very prompt
Though the size of hotel small to occupy heavy crowd ...naturally u have to wait for your turn.
Overall do not expect anything other then food and service if you are a food lover
Pocket frendly and in taste it reallly good.
Same thing if you try in other hotels it will cost you double and will not get taste like this.
Chicken masala thali n mutton masala thali i have tried
A perfect Puneri Meal house where you get food which tastes as if it was made at your home.. A real unique taste with the history holding it... Very pocket friendly and very busy place.
And yes the perfectionist for food which u won't get easily after hunting much places which satisfies ur hunger.
As seen in other review yes it's crowded. Wating time 15-20min, ambiance quite gud nd simple, and yes no need to ask for something if u feels like ur plate is getting empty service is to quick.
It's too worth for money.
Place on my hit list to visit again ND again..
A very simple place. Nothing fancy about. Its only about one thing, thats good non veg food. Been here with my family and we mutton and chicken thali which were simply awesome. Even the mutton biryani is good. Service is also good.
I Have Eat Chicken Masala and Chicken Handi.
The Taste Is Good And The Taste Of Rassa Is Also Good.
In Chicken Masala, Chicken Is Soft And Tender To Eat With Chapati Is Like Ahhh Good.
The Taste Of Chicken Handi Is Also Good.
The Spices Are At Very Good Level Not Much Not Less.
The Best Part About This Is Rates Of Every Item Are Quite Low As Compared To Other Restaurant or Hotel In Pune.
So Overall Good Experience .
Delicious food items! Tried their Chicken masala thali and it was yummmm 😋... Certainly one of the best place to have authentic Maharashtrian non veg thali. 'Pandhara' and 'tambda' rassa was much better than the competitors. Solkadi was also refreshing and had proper taste. They need to improve sitting arrangements otherwise it's fantastic place.
I tried muton thali, quanity was sufficient and quality and taste was awesome.
No great ambiance and 15-20 minutes wait but heaven for non veg food lover
This place for specially for non vegetarian maharashtrian food .
I am visiting this place from past 6/7 year's
they have veriety of thali I have personally like special mutton thali, Special chicken thali they also Serve you tambada pandhara rassa and and alani vati.
just go eat and enjoy
service is to good
full paisa vasool place .
110 yrs of Heritage and one word AWESOMENESS !!! Chicken Masala Thali
₹ 136 ONLY
Taste : Spicy Assal Maharashtrian!
Rating 😋😋😋😋
If you are lucky enough and it's a weekday you may get a seat immediately. Otherwise waiting time is almost 15-20 mins. But the taste is worth the while
Been here once with my friend on Saturday afternoon. Waited for 10-15 mins to get a seat. Ordered mutton sukha thali. Taste was really good and worth the wait. Can't go with kids as seating is congested. Food quantity and taste is great.
Affordable, reasonable and good food.
Very good food. Classic marathi thali for very reasonable rates. Taste is very good.
Sorry I had a little food and then took the image of thali.
Only weird thing I found was mutton thali was cheaper than chicken thali.
Mutton thali also has kheema so its a better deal over all. Mutton/Chicken masala is awesome. Very precise taste and feel overall.
Rassa is unlimited for your info if you are new to maharashtrian thali culture.
Staff is awesome and immensly active when they see someone with less rassa in their bowl.
I wanted to have Biryani but was full with thali so I might update the review later.
For instagram you might feel very poor being their. You might not have patience to get in the restaurant as their is a decent waiting due to Good Food. No ambience much for you to flaunt your rich lives. And it is a peth area so you might even not get there.
For foodies it is a great experience. If you are not a hardcore spice loving person it is the best for you. Its is perfect for everyone. You wont feel the burn in stomach or chest after you have done with food.

Good authentic taste.
Those who want exact kolhapuri taste in Pune, should visit #AwareMarathaKhanawal
Mutton Dry Thali:
Taste: 4/5
Mutton: Should give more Mutton pieces as compared to price.
Tip: Should give more mutton pieces and increase quantity of masala fry thali.
Amazing food quality, quantity as well...i have been eating here since 2010 and never founf a change in taste. Amazing is just what i can say.
Just Amazing!!! ❤️
We ordered Mutton Masala Thali & Mutton Kaleji fry thali. It's too good. Perfect taste with reasonable rates.
Mutton pieces are soft & well cooked. Ambiance is not much good. But taste is very good.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This place is specially for non vegetarian Maharashtrian person..
I am visiting this place from past 3-4 yrs.. you need to reach here as early as possible else you have to wait because they always have waiting..
They have variety of thali's.. I personally like chicken masala and chicken curry thali.. rates are very casual.. In thali they also serve you thambda rassa , pandhara rassa and alani rassa..
Ambience is normal don't expect much as it is puneri khanaval.. just go , eat and enjoy..
Service is good..
This is one of the old place from Pune.. you will also experience the puneri feel..
#PuneriPatya.. 😜
This hotel is running strong since long time and that too with a good taste and quality.
I like the mutton biryani over here,which comes with a gravy in a nice quantity and taste just delicious!!
Definitely recommending this to one who are near by sadashiv peth.
Would surely visit again.
Prices are reasonable,service is good.
Ambience is quite an average.
Have been going to this place since last 10 years.
Have tried different things like:
Chicken masala thali
Mutton masala thali
Egg masala
Mutton dum biryani
Everything is really tasty and spicy.
I would recommend this place for people who like spicy food within budget.
Overall a place worth visiting.
One of the legendary place in pune...!
Strictly for spicy food that too only nonveg lovers...!
I ordered Mutton Masala thali and within a minute it came on my table.
It had Mutton Masala ,2 bhakri, Tambda rassa,Pandhara rassa,Alani rassa,Mutton khima & Rice.
Everything was piping hot and tempting.
Food here will enlight your tastebuds to next level.
I had to take cold & soothing solkadhi after lunch to relax my tastebuds.
It was good experience and incredibly pocket friendly ..
Recommended for sure for atleast one try...!
Affordable non veg thali

I hv been eating here since 17 yrs. The taste of mutton is delicious. N d signature item they have is their tambda rassa n dat too wth extra tarri.. heaven..
This was my first experience at Aware Maratha Khanawal
. I am really crazy for the marashtrian non-veg thali.
What we ordered - Mutton Fry Thali and Chicken Fry Thali
Food - 4
Service - 3.5
Cost - 4.5
Ambience - 2.5
Recommendation - Mutton Fry Thali
This place is very well known for its thali, but it's a bit cozy.If you want to have a proper lunch with a tight budget then this is the place to go.
A good place for non veg lovers.Rate is very cheap but need to pay for extra pandhra and another rassa.Tambda rassa will be unlimited but need to pay ₹20 more for other rassa.Special for chicken thali
Chicken thali tasty but dont try solekadi it is packed one doesn't taste fresh. Bhakri they have 3 types jwari, bajara and chawal, they might ran out of stock on some bhakri sometimes.
Pratik Pokharkar Patil
+4.5
Very nice quality of chicken
Prompt service
Quality of mutton in mutton biryani was very nice
Pocket friendly
I am happy that they are not using colours in their dishes
Must visit
Authentic maharashtrian food.
I've only had non veg menus of theirs and its tasty. The ambience is typical nothing special.
Definitely recommended for non veg thali if you are on a budget.
If you are a fan of chicken and want to get a good plate of it at a pocket friendly cost...you ought to visit this place. You might have to wait for a few minutes..but then its worth it!..I preferred my ordered as a take away..so really cant mention about the service. But I assume that would be good as well!
:)
This is One of the oldest and famous non veg serving restaurant in Pune. It's a typical Khanaval. They mostly have thali system.
Ambience - Normal ambience, not that good. They have small space and thus area for development is limited.
Service - Had to wait to for around 50 mins for out turn to come. You need to note down your name at the counter. But the service was super fast once we got out table.
Food - The order was Mutton Masala thali, chicken masala thali and mutton biryani.
Awesome food.......
Mutton masala thali was great, mutton was property cooked and spicy. The kheema served was good too. Chicken thali was a bit ok with compared to mutton thali but not bad. Mutton biryani is a must try, soft rice and tender mutton pieces make it worth the try.
The Bhukkads rating - 9/10
Best place to have authentic Maharishtrian taste in core Pune. I tried veg and my friend tried chicken. Both taste awesome. Must go if u are around.
Biryani makes my party🎊🎉🎂 awesome 😘😎✌🏻I would like to suggest everyone that Aware is awesome for biryani so I am going to visit again one time...
Best place for non vegetarians( specially for mutton lovers). I like khima fry thali, quality food with low cost.. but little crowded and it's good to go with 4-5 people for enjoy
Aware Maratha Khanawal is superb non-veg thali place in Pune. Service is good.
It is very small hotel but taste is awesome. Only problem is with sitting arrangements.
It’s the Taste of Maharashtra! Superb if you like spicy maharashtrian food. The restaurant is alright and homely. Too many men around but there are family’s that also visit. The food is always served fresh and hot. If you have the guts for spice than the green kharda mutton thali is for you. I love it. The pandra (white color) and tambda (copper color) rassa/ gravy is famous. The mutton thali is awesome. They serve it with bhakri. Must try.
Very tasty and delicious food served here,A must try restaurant in Pune.To enjoy the food here one must take a sip of a Rassa vati with every bite you take,Guaranteed pleasure......
Aware Maratha Khanawal,a small place that has a big name contrary to the small location.This place serves some good food,especially thali.I had the Chicken Masala Thali and The Mutton Masala Thali.Both the thalis were sumptuous and the Curry was nice,thick and rich in taste.What disappointed me were the rassas which lacked depth of flavour.
जर तुम्हाला authentic महाराष्ट्रीयन non-veg थाली खायची असेल तर नक्की एकदा तरी आवारे मराठा खानावळ ला भेट द्या.
स्वस्तात मस्त चव आहे कोणताही नॉनवेज पदार्थ ऑर्डर करा.
नोट: हॉटेल चा ambieanse पाहून हॉटेल मध्ये जाणाऱ्यांनी इकडे फिरकू नये पण स्वस्तात मस्त घरगुती चव हवी असेल तर must visit.
Authentic taste of Maharashtrian non veg. One of my favorite hotel in Pune for non veg. Best quality in least price. If you love non veg, you must visit this place. I have tried almost all dishes here. Taste is really good.
Reached late around 2:30pm on a weekend and had to wait for a seat. Service is fast and courteous. Tried the chicken masala thali and the chicken green Kharda thali. The chicken masala was spicy, and the kharda was super spicy. The gravies in the thali were good. The jowari bhakti was also as you would expect. Had biryani rice, which was really nice. Sol kadhi was refreshing. I found the spice level to be much higher than I have had before, so watch out if your are not accustomed to eating such spicy food. This place is certainly not for kids.
Aware Khanawal is worth visiting place in pune. They serve best quality of food. Chicken Thali served here is the best. The chicken is good they serve 3 more curries with chicken Thali and bhakri of your choice. The service is too good10/10 once you'll go there.. You'll feel like keep going again and again and so on..
Had ordered chicken alni rice plate was good but not bad chicken pieces were not of that mark, but rest was ok rice and chapatis quantity was good enough..
Thalis are awesome here. My parents are regular visitosr here. You can get unlimited 'Rassa' which was really good to taste. I had tried many Kolhapuri Mutton Thali's in kolhapur and it tasted mind blowing. Give it a try definitely.
Very few places in Pune to get authentic maharashtrian food and this is one of them. Any Non veg thali is recommended, pocket friendly. Not a fancy ambiance thought, who cares when you are served delicious mutton and chicken curry.
The place is not that comfortable but the food is really amazing. We had Chicken kharda and Mutton kheema thali and both were really amazing. The mutton kheema was really authentic and made with proper appropriate parts of mutton.
The tambda rassa and solkadi over here is also amazing.
