This place is situated near Deep Bungalow Chowk . It has variety of dishes in its menu . Cost is also decent as compared to other restaurants near that area . I went with my friends there and we all ordered veg thali . Believe me it was the best thali I ate in my life . It has 2 bowl of bhaji with butter roti and some papad and sweet . You won't regret eating this thali ...!
Reliable and reasonably priced restaurant in Model Colony for cuisines such as south Indian, punjabi, Chinese etc. I particularly like their special thali, medu wada and dahi wada. Service is also good.
Good food and pocket friendly!
Starters, Chinese and South Indian food is superb (Chinese Platter, Paneer Tikka and Rava Dosa a must try)
Overall a decent pure vegetarian family restaurant.

Since the day I came to dine in here at Chaaru's, I have been enjoying decent, affordable and tasty North Indian food from here, more than thrice now. Its a bit far from where I reside, but when ever I pitch in the idea of dining here, my friends all agree to it willingly. After a walk of about 15-20 minutes, we reach this place, all famished and ready to stuff ourselves up without drilling a hole in our wallets.
Its generally crowded, especially at peak dinner and lunch hours, and you'd be lucky if you get to sit within minute of your arrival. The over all theme of this casual restaurant is North Indian, South Indian and a few snacks and fast food here and there. Just like any other good restaurant in your locality. This is the kind of place where you would bring your family when your mom is too bored to cook, or when you want to eat on some lazy sunday afternoon. The to the go place which, you know, never disappoints!
Everytime we come here, it has to be North Indian. We order a couple of sabjis, butter roti and then enjoy this full course proper meal. I, in particular, loved the MALAI KOFTA here. Each aspect about this dish was just up to the point. The sweet aroma it sends in the air, its pretty presentation and the best part of all, its yummy, creamy taste! People usually argue that they won't have a sabji which tastes sweet, but when they feast themselves on this, 'thank you' is all they can apologize with.
It has been quite a while I haven't had a meal here, and while writing this review, I am kind of salivating with the thought of dining here someday soon!
Happy Burping!!!
Nice place to have a vegetarian food !! Especially the 'Special thali' is worth a try. The taste and hygiene us good too. It was a good experience !!
Well I used to visit this restaurant when I was a kid.
Earlier the location was different and now it’s different.
The location has indeed changed but the taste hasn’t. I still remember the taste of pav bhaji that I used to have when I was a kid. I had a chance to taste the pav bhaji last week and I must say that the taste remains the same.
The food quality’s good.
Parking is a major problem. I’m not sure whether they have a valet. Overall a good place to visit with your family.
Always a great feeling to go to this restaurant, The staff is really nice and friendly. Tried Paneer Tikka masala, Veg Hyderabadi and Dal fry, The food was delicious, especially the Paneer. Barely decent place. Price is very affordable and good ambience too.
Today I have visited to charu's for breakfast
I ordered for masala dosa and cappuccino
Masala dosa was good 😊😊😊😊
Cappuccino can be more good 😊😊😊
Service was fast😊😊😊😊😊
A very neat, clean and a decent place to have your afternoon lunch or evening snack if you are anywhere near Model Colony. Pocket friendly and good taste.
Had their Masala Dosa and Puri Bhaji during my recent visit and was quite happy with what was served.
Puri's were less oily and good in taste. Though the Dosa had gone soggy by the time it arrived, it was still good in taste.
The Alu bhaji for Dosa and Puri tasted different which was a winner for me..
Will definately visit again to try
Hotel food is nice its veg restro ..here they served various variety of food i like all chinese dishes here and there palak and dal khichadi is good in taste.food is good here.not that costly.please try here mango mastani i ve tried in summer it was fab.bit costly but worth it
That's my regular place to dine or start a day with ample of good south Indian breakfast options to have, it is run by udupi management so right from owner to bearer everyone is polite and always happy to serve you with a smile :)
Ambiance is nice, food is fabulous. They have Ac and non AC rooms. The staff is really friendly and food is served on time. Prices are affordable and pocket friendly. I had paneer ki sabji which was flavour full and spicy. Overall taste, price and ambiance is to the point. I would recommend you guys to visit this restaurant for lunch.
Charu's is a go to place for cheap but nice food. Their veg thali is very tasty and value for money. Staff is also kind and will look after you throughout your time. Also their tawa pulav is tasty. Pocket friendly restaurant.
Charu's is a go to place for office/college folks.
It is veg restaurant. Every dish is economical. Their graviesbare thick and tasty.
We had Thali for 150. It had two buttered tandoori roti, pea pulao, daal, paneer butter masala, dry aloo sabzi and raita.
The sabzi varies every day but preparation is good.
Service is very quick.
Just that their juices are a little expensive. But you can always try their coffee.
Thanks ❤️
Tasty food...
advisable to visit here once....
food 5/5
service 4/5
only parking problem but can't help it because no space there for vehicle parking...
I have been there like many times for dinner and lunch and for breakfast as well.... Its a very good veg restaurant in pune located In centre area... You will get very good food in an affordable price... Their paneer dishes are so tasty... You will never come unsatisfied... This place is value of money... their pulao like kasmiri pulao and green peas paneer pulao were so tasty... And gadbad ice cream was awesome... Ambience is okay that's why I am giving 4 stars... and their services were really quick... If you are hungry so much then you can go to this place to have super fast food in just minutes....😁😁I would suggest Everyone should go there to try once... Who is not that much fan of vegetarian food they shouldn't go because their mouth will not bear the taste of veg food and they will comment bad for it...😋😋😋😄😄😄
Charu is our favourite place when ever we plan something to order for our veg team lunch/Party. And the item is fixed only Biryani. I cant review about other items But their Biryani is indeed delicious. They have ample number of varities for Biryani. Taste wise biryani is very tasty. Cost compared to quantity and quality is moderate to high. Overall if you are biryani lover then give charu a try.
Friendly polite staff, quick service at peak lunch hours and awesome taste at reasonable price attracted me the most ! Seating is a bit conjusted inside but mostly people go for the taste.
You should try this starter called 'Nest'. Staff will explain you better. Its a beautifully decorated combination of mixed pakodis and french fries on a cabbage leaf garnished with cheese. 😋 1 plate is enough for 4.
Coming to main course, butter naan and butter roti were soft and edible. Go for Charu's special sabzi (combination of mashed palak and carrot with great spices), alu dum punjabi and matar paneer.
Finish your experience with an ice-cream !
I did go back for south indian dishes and they were lip smacking ! The quantity and size of dosas was a lot at a very reasonable price. Loved Onion Rava Dosa the most.. very crispy and well cooked. 👍🏻
Also, you may try Veg Manchurian Dry as a starter.
Being near my house it is always a go to place.
They serve homely food, no doubt the place is always crowded. Their amras is very yummy. Overall they are worth visiting.
Been to this place once only as of now, and tbh we weren't disappointed. We had ordered their butter naan, rotis, Mushroom Maratha and Malai Kofta. The Malai Kofta tasted too good, with the perfect combination of sweet and sour. The mushroom item was good enough as well. Will defibitely improve upon this review, once I try out their other dishes as well.
So, this is one of my friend's go to place. Its a nice small restro, serves good food, and is really inexpensive. We went for dinner and ordered masala kulcha, cheese paratha, butter naan, stuff paratha, jeera rice, Hara Bhara Kebab, Navratna Korma, daal tadka, some paneer dish which one? I don't exactly remember now and some other dishes as well.
Nothing great about the ambience or the place, its a simple, small veg restro which serves some good food. Considering we were 5 people and ordered so much the bill costed us around 1200. which is really good.
Good place, good food! You'll love the North Indian food (eg. Garlic Naan, Paneer Dish, Mushroom) here. Chinese is above average. Quick service with friendly staff.
lovely veg food worth for money and very good food quality and quick service and comfortable setting for family we had mushroom tawa Masala and naan along with paneer pulao quality of pulao need to improv rest was very good......
Nice place to have vegetarian food.
All the stuff u can get over here.
I had veg thali and veg biryani recently over here.
Prices are very reasonable...
I have visited this place 6-7 times...and it has never disappointed me. The food is always tasty, the quantity is also good and it's not very expensive. This time I had a Dal khichidi tadka that was yummm! This place is a must visit.
Food is very good specially all paneer item . All starters are good. South indian food is also good. If you are punjabi then you definitely like foodhere . Chef is from uttarakahand.
Liked the place.
It’s veg. The quality and taste is really good. The thali is sufficient too. Price is also decent enough. Only thing you will have to manage parking. No dedicated area for parking.
Go there for South Indian Breakfast & snacks. Their Uthappa is a must have any time of the day. Also good for normal North Indian food which is served fresh & in sufficiently large quantities.
One of the best choice for eating in Model colony is this hotel only. All south Indian is best. Quality and quantity is justifiable. Prefer thali. Also eat Dal khichadi. Poha is not in menu but can order in breakfast.
This place is at a good location. Best part is prompt service and lip smicking coffee at cheap rate.
Dessert was also very tasty. Not very much crowded so you can spend some good time there.
Was in gokhale nagar n dropped in to this place for a quick bite... this place isnt really too much to write about regarding its ambience but trust me thats not what we're looking for when u drop in for a quick bite.. simple, affordable good vegetarian food is what i have to say bout this place n d staff is very courteous n helpful... i thoroughly enjoyed my puri bhaaji n cup of tea in d rainy pune weather.. wouldnt mind another visit!
Visited here many times before for snacks..
Latest visit today.. I had a simple Purī Bhājī..
Got it soon after placing the order.. I was happy to see the large, warm puffed up Purīs just as I wanted.. 😊 😊
Bhājī too was tasty.. Quantity of the Bhājī was a bit less comparatively but was given some extra Bhājī on request.. ☺☺
Prompt service.. Attentive staff..
Ambience is simple but well maintained..
A good option for meals in Model Colony..
This place is okay is you are hungry and willing to eat food in good environment...
It was good experience for me to be there....
And you can visit this if you were planning to go there.....
Amazing, Good food, Breakfast is nice.Very convenient when u need food asap . Just to fill the zomato review column of 140 words I'm writing these extra lines, Again I say awesome.
Its the best place to eat near my home..South Indian at this place is just great..we also had sandwich,pav bhaji, and thali..the food is good.!!
Best pure veg restaurant of SHIVAJI NAGAR!
Especially for its paneer in all gravies and whole wheat roti!
Also try its Pav Bhaji and Dal khichdi with out of the world Kadi.. damn I'm already hungry :p
Really quick service and the staff is attentive to what you need.
But the dosa they service was cold and sambhar as well.
Veg crispy, maysore masala was good .
A good place for budget dining.
This restaurant ideally reminds you of those old city restaurants that your parents would take you out for a meal on a Sunday afternoon. Back at a time when fine-dining and molecular gastronomy only existed on paper for us 90s kids. It's your typical "we-mean-business", no frills kind of place that dishes out your order faster than you can count to a minute. Their south indian breakfast/snack options are decent. The cheese chilly toast is pretty good. But what you really need to try here is the north indian meal options all with the naan, jeera rice, dal fry, paneer makhni, masala papad and a plate of dahi vada to clean up your pallette. That's the experience you should go for. Easy on the pockets and generous on the quantity, this place is capable of bringing back some of those childhood memories of your first "hotel" experience/s when going out for a meal was considered cool.

this place serves good amount of options for a mid-day meal!
Once eu enter this place, eu'll find ample seating space inside as well as outside.
Servers are nice and humble. They have an AC section as well inside the restro.
Food wise they serve all Pure veg delicacies, including veg and paneer varieties.
In our first visit, We ordered veg kadhai and rotis, and loved them. Veg kadhai was served hot so It was bit spicy and quite well prepared. Liked it.
In the second visit I ordered Misal Pav and dahi misal pav, they were served not the way I used to have at other places but loved the texture anyway.
Later once they realise I'm not fond of mixing dahi into the sample, they gave me a separate bowl of dahi so that I can eat happily and enjoy misal pav.
I liked their gesture and including both of the time, I can say they are good as per both parameters, food and service.
I ordered coffee too and it was good enough for a place like this.
What better location than model colony?! This place reminds me of a typical hotel I used to dream about! 😂 They have outdoor seating as well as indoor. Visited today for breakfast. Had onion uttapa. Food is good but their coconut chutney is exceptionally well. Service is professional. What I loved is that this place is very very affordable!!
Ambience: 4.5/5

Really nice place thanks to them they re dis everything it's good I have coming here since my childhood really good. It is very awesome here the menu us also upgraded very nice interior's
The place looks very promising from outside, so we gave it a try.
We ordered Soup (since it was cold outside), it was OK. The main course was very good, especially Paneer Maratha. Must try.
Ambiance is OK.
Service needs a lot of improvement. Waiters and Manager do a lot of shouting in front of guests. They even started an argument besides our table.
Their service and shouting gives you an impression of a rookie restaurant. But the final product (food) was good, hence no complaints.
Hopped in here for a quick lunch & indeed the service was quick. Within 10 mins the manchow soup was served and then the food followed. They never kept us waiting or anyone else either. The food taste was good and also its quantity was appropriate. Pocket friendly too
The place is very noisy and you best thing is you won't find much waiting in this restaurant even on weekends... Best recommended for veg marantha... Ambience is good but services are on the negative side
I m not a vegetarian, I don't like veg food, but for those days I need to eat veg, I like Charu's.
It's decent veg that I can eat. Kadhi chawal is a must eat there. I like the dosas served there. And I discovered a veg dish I liked Malai methi mutter was nice.
Xtra points for customer service.. D moment v sat, an uncle came n greeted us and asked wat wud v like to have.. Made sure v get our order on time.. V ordered pav bhaji n masala pav.. Both were tasty.. Wud like to try Oder dishes as wel..
Ambience is also nice.. Though the outdoor seating is not managed properly as the seats get wet due to rain n bcoz of d materials of the chairs, they cant soak it
This is one of the best restaurants in Model colony. Pure veg, yummy food. they also have a number of dishes in jain section too. seating area is big and houses lots of guests.
Great place to handout after office time. Food is awesome, I really like its south Indian food and Paneer Maratha. Service is ok , Ambience is fine but prefer seating outside.
Today I was there for lunch had south indian dosa was so crunchy and coconut chutney and sambr.. all is good in taste, for pure veg it is a nice place, ambience is also good.
Food 4/5
Service 4/5
Ambiance 4/5
When I started visiting the place, way back in 2013, it actually served good quality of food with a quick service. But I think they are mediating of more money making thing rather than good quality food and service. Yes, biryani served here is still wow !!
Pure veg restaurant. Better option for pure veg people and Jain people as you can alter the curry content by ordering that way and the waiter won't hesitate. This was the case happened when I was there with my friend once.
My favourite: Manchow soup
I'd come here twice a month if I would.
Once upon a time it served best Paneer starters in town! Taste has definitely been not the same anymore.. South Indian also good to go, as far as snacks are concerned. VFM and closer to my place hence quite a frequent customer! Being a pure veg restaurant, parents love it here too!
A joint with inexpensive and affordable prices..Good for days when you are low on budget.. Their Masala Buttermilk with refreshing mint is a must have specially during scorching weather.. Sweet Lassi is sweeter than the expected sweetness..Pav Bhaji is good..Apart from that in main course, we ordered Masala Bhindi with a little too much of Masaledar Gravy and less of Bhindi..Dal Fry was upto the mark..Their Dal Methi is also worth a try..They serve piping hot Rotis which is a plus plus..Staff is courteous, giving prompt service..
The prices have gone up in two yrs and proportionally the quality and qty decreasing..esp the chinese. All sabzis taste alike. Do not try malai kofta here.Maurice Masih. Ananta Nagar Akshata Kittur
The ambience here is very good with lots of flowers and decent lightings...as for the food,it was tasty..yummy..we ordered veg bhuna,roti and jeera rice.The service is fast.It is a good option in this area..if you are looking for an good and affordable restaurant.
By far the best quality food.
Great service.
Average rates.
Not so expensive.
And once again food quality was very nice.
U must visit. 👍🏻
Dal khichadi here is one of the best dishes.
Main course is decent in taste.
A bit expensive comparatively according to its standards.
Staff is a bit moody.
Ambience is below average.
Hotel Charu
I had a quick visit over here for lunch. As I was not too hungry I opted for regular Masala Dosa [Rs 60]. The size of dosa was really good and better than what I have seen in most of the restaurant, it was thin and slightly crispy, good in taste, the potato sabji which was served with it was also nice. The Sambhar and coconut chutney served with it didn’t impress me and was slight watery. The red chutney which was served along with it was superb in taste.
Overall: Service was quick and staff was polite. I shared the feedback with the waiter and he accepted it and promised to make necessary changes. I was going to rate this place 3 star for my over all experience but would definitely rate 3.5 only because of the waited and good service.
Location: Deep Bunglow Chowk, Model Colony, Pune
What an tasty food it was!!
I lived over an 6 month this hotel was mine fav. I am vegetarian so it was best for me.
Overall good food quality.
As per price and quantity it is best.
I used to eat THALI which was perfect deal as my daily meal.
I'll recommend for THALI atleast once try to it.
Good vegetarian food. South Indian and Punjabi variety of dishes. Reasonable rates.
Ordered veg jalfraijy and accompaniments, steam Rice, tandoori rotis.
NIEC PLACE FOR NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE PEOPLE, I LIKE PANEER PULAW AND DAL TADKA HEAR,, THE TASTE IS AMAZING AND YOU CAN COME WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS THEY HAVE NORMAL RATES WITH GOOD QUALITY.
Best quality food , service and most visited place by people
good food quality..... reasonable prices.... awesome place
Great vegetarian food. One of the best in Model colony. Service is quick too.
Great service and taste. But only one thing needs to be added is credit card payments. Hotel don't support card payments
Misal Pav was little spicy for my taste but good.
Good value for money.
Good for casual food, pocket friendly and a good service staff.
Food is good , for the service it takes time , atmosphere is also good
