In love with almost all of thier dishes, I have tried only veg things like Salli paneer, berry pulao, custord, kheema paav etc. . The place is very hygienic and clean. The food quality and quantity is remarkable.
Guys do visit at least once.

In a span of 3 days, I went here twice. Such was the taste of the various rice and soya chaap that this place has to offer!
Had ordered berry pulao and dhansak (both veg). The berry pulao is definitely a show stopper! Dhansak also stands high in the list of tasty dishes!
On another occasion, ordered Patra ni macchi. It was great too!
The Ambience is okay.
Along with the bill, you might also get some 'nostalgia hitting' chocolates!

It's quite good place to visit and authentic Irani cafe and one will love the place. Less options for veg. But alot of great options in non veg. Taste and service is great. Loved the corn pakoda and veg. Keema pav and paneer bhurji pav. Authentic Irani flavour.

Was craving for some good Indian mutton so picked this place. Didn't disappoint. They served authentic mutton dishes which included irani influenced preparations.Tasted really good. Quantity was kinda less though. Service staff were cordial and efficient. Nihari ghosht deserves some mentioning.

I'm a huge fan of Parsi food and was super impressed with Rustom Battliwala. Since this place is situated at my office campus, I've had very frequent visits here.Ā 

3 of the items I order every time I'm here are Chicken Dhansak served with Brown rice which is a classic Parsi dish, Berry Pulao and Chicken Bombay Biryani.

I was skeptical about Berry Pulao at first, but the flavor is unbelievable! This is a must try!

Food is amazing here, we had ordered Salli panner, naan and dal makhni. Salli paneer is good with paneer being very soft, naan was awesome in taste if you think of breads to order you can go for naan. Dal makhni is very smooth in taste.
In all the food is awesome here ,staff is polite.

The moment you enter in the restaurant it takes you to the old irani restaurant of South bombay. The feel is surreal. Complete nostalgia right from sodas to the mango bite. The food tastes really good. The murgh na farcha and salli murghi is delicious. Desserts are not so impressive. They should include some authentic irani desserts in their menu. I liked it!

This place has a cute ambience. It is very much similar to old Irani cafes of South Bombay. We ordered berry pulao, veg kheema, Malai tikkis and chicken pakoda. I just had vegetarian food and didn't taste berry pulao and chicken pakoda but veg kheema was simply amazing and finger licking good! šŸ˜
Veg Kheema is highly recommend.

The Parsi delicacies are very well made and they serve it in tiffins as well. Tried all the famous Parsi dishes like the Mutton Kheema Pav, Chicken Dhansak and Irani Chai. Prices are slightly on the higher side given the quantity served but overall it's well worth a visit.

Itā€™s not often that a rich cocky Sindhi takes a shine to Badass Bawas & their typical cuisine. But when that does happen, you get a little jewel of a joint called ā€˜Rustom Batliwalaā€˜ā€¦.Balewadi Highā€™s cutest little restaurantā€¦thatā€™s always, but always, packed to a crowd waiting to devour the Parsi & Irani ā€˜bhonuā€™, that it boasts about. Ofcourse, besides this that itā€™s known for, the menu also has favourites like Malvani Fish Curry, Amritsari Fish & Bhendi Bazaar Kebabs.

As we walked into this place, memories of typical Parsi Irani cafes that we patronized oh so often as kids in Mumbai, came rushing backā€¦the iconic jars of sweets and cookies, the checkered tablecloths, garish stained glass windows, tile patterned floors, icesteam sodas, Ardeshirā€™s raspberry drink, et all.

AndĀ Rustom BatliwalaĀ brings back all the thrills ā€¦and more!

We were greeted smilingly by Chef Deepu himself, and then began the very typical Bawa hospitality of ā€˜khavo, piyo ne majha karoā€™. Distinctly, Chef Deepuā€™s long association with the Bawas in Pune has rubbed off on him immaculately!

Famished as we were on a Saturday night (the appetite aided to blossom by a few glasses of wine knocked down) we seated ourselves to enjoy yet another good weekend mealā€¦ and GOOD it definitely was!

So now, letā€™s get to the lowdown on the grubā€¦ starting with theĀ Bhendi Bazaar KebabsĀ ā€¦ soft flavorful creamy meaty balls served with a fabulously made mint chutney, in a quirky shovel type dishā€¦

Followed by the very well madeĀ Chicken Farchasā€¦

Patra ni MacchiĀ ā€¦. authentic and flavorful

Followed byĀ Jardaloo MuttonĀ ā€¦.mutton gravy cooked with apricots. Although this was not as superbly prepared as I do (yea, I do it best!)ā€¦it was definitely a must-try! We had it with Lachha Paratha ( as the menu lacked the much needed ā€˜rotlisā€™)ā€¦.which was not the best Iā€™ve had, but went well with theĀ JardalooĀ Mutton

Next, we chose to try theirĀ Dhansak Dal & the Persian Berry Pulao.Ā The Dhansak Dal was pretty close to perfection and I totally enjoyed slurping at it, by itself. The Berry Pulao was rich, heaving with butter and an absolute delight to a hungry palate! This, too, is a MUST try atĀ Rustom Batliwala!

Now, no self-respecting Bawa forgoes the most important sweet tooth indulgence at the end of a mealā€¦and therefore, stuffed to the gills as we were, the Bawa tradition of ā€˜mithoo monuuā€™ just had to be kept. We did it by ordering theirĀ Lagan nu Custard.

Guysā€¦.it was the BESTĀ Lagan nuĀ CustardĀ I have ever tasted! Yesā€¦.better than any Parsi caterer makes anywhere! This was rich & almost sensually creamy and just divine!

ā€œBau Majha aaviā€ for sure! Go figure.

If itā€™s Parsi bhonu you craveā€¦.or some Irani treats, seriously THIS is the place to go to.

No alcohol available here, so juice up in advanceā€¦.and then head straight toĀ Batliwalaā€™sĀ for your food fix.

Once youā€™re there licking the deliciousness off your fingers, youā€™ll understand why Bawas make such a big deal about food!

We went to Rustom Batliwala one evening to enjoy some Parsi food. There are a lot of Parsi cafes in Pune but a very few places that serve Parsi meals. As you enter this place you get the vibe of a Parsi atmosphere with interiors decorated to match that of Parsi restaurant of Mumbai in the early 90's. A billing counter with jars of candies like kissme and mango bite. Placards adorn the walls with quirky one liners that can compete with puneri pattis. The staff was very welcoming and escorted us to our table.
The menu was a delightful mix of Indian and Parsi dishes. The thing that I wanted to try was dhansak which I ordered immediately. The vegetarian variety of course. Another of the dish I was searching for was akuri pav which was served only for breakfast. Our captain suggested us to go for veg Keema Pav which we did. We also ordered for ice cream soda and Raspberry soda.
The sofas were the first to come and they were the ardeshir brand soda. While I do love the ardeshir sofas I expected to get a batch of store made soda. The captain failed to inform us about it at the beginning. The sodas were lovely as they usually are. The Keema Pav came in next. The Keema was made from a mince of Soya and other veggies. The texture and appearance could easily fool the ardent meat eaters to think it's made from meat. The taste was lovely and had ample amounts of spice and that peculiar tangyness of the Parsi food. Dhansak came in next and was accompanied by a side of rice. The rice was fragrant with toastiness of roasted spice and fried onions. The dhansak was good with alluring tangyness. A small side of salad paired well with the dhansak.
We ordered flaming Gulab Jamun for dessert. And they were really good. Tasty, sweet and hot. I ordered an Irani chai which I was told would take more that 15 mins. I did wait for it and it was passable.
The experience at Rustom Batliwala was a good one and is definitely suggested. Would love to visit again and try akuri pav while my wife tries the pastrani macchi.

Costs: a bit over as the serve size is small.

Veg Keema Pav: ā‚¹245/-

Tried PARSI food for the first time ever.. & I must say Iā€™m not at all disappointed!!
Tried :
-> patra ni machi : its fish marinated in parsi masala and then steam cooked in banana leaf
-> chicken dhansa : itā€™s parsi style cooked chicken with pulses. Also, served with brown rice.
-> lagan nu custard : amazingly delicious custard sprinked with nuts.

Overall loved the food & parsi experience!!

Beautiful ambiance. Beautiful location. And some amazing kheema pav :) That sums up Rustom Battliwala for me.

The kheema is not at all on the spicy side. It's very mildly spiced but very high on flavours. Definitely worth a shot!

Was this best kheema pav I have had in Pune? Probably not..but is this worth going again for kheema pav pangs.. definitely yes :)

They serve nostalgia filled candies and the bill is presented in an old typewriter style. :)

If you are not looking for a great ambience, but an excellent taste of a parsi cuisine, then this is the right one! Patra ni machi, stuffed cheese mutton kebab, chicken pakoda are some of the dishes which should be tried by every non vegetarians visiting this place.

Good food, and a good attempt at creating the 'irani restaurant' ambience. Except for the dhansak dal and the lagan nu custard (neither of which even remotely resemble authentic parsi flavours), the rest of the meal was not bad at all. My personal favourites were Malai Kolmi Ni Curry (very well flavoured and a mild but delicious taste, with prawns that were of a good size and succulently cooked), and Kurkure Bhindi Masala (tasty okra coated in a light gram flour batter and fried so well that they had neither the oily taste nor the heaviness of pakoras). I also enjoyed the Chicken Baffat, Murghi na Farcha, Chicken and Cheese Kebabs, and Berry Pulao with tender pieces of good quality mutton. The patra ni machi was watery today, but I was informed by those who have dined here earlier that they had enjoyed it at that time. If you are a butter lover, ask them for 'pao' - comes slathered with melted butter. Yummm.Ā 

A good staff, efficient service, and a happy-feel environment more than make up for the distance that we had to travel to reach Balewadi High.Ā 

My suggestions to the restaurant to enhance the 'bawa' experience ---(i) serve saariya, and parsi lagan nu acchar (ii) serve chilled beer (iii) do not play loud, hindi music (this aspect really takes away from the whole experience!!)

Though the name and experience is centred around Parsi cuisine, the menu is by no means limited to that, and Murgh Makhani, biryani, paneer etc. were available for those who wish to eat 'indian' cuisine.

Staying so close by, I couldn't have possibly not tried the place; especially when it's Parsi New Year!

The place has lovely Irani Cafe feel to it. We tried #Delhistylesoyachaap #dhanksak #berrypulao #goldspot and #iranicoffee. I must say each of these dishes were just perfectly made in terms of flavours and how delicious and authentic they tasted! The Veg Berry Pulao and Irani Coffee had aroma that will linger around for long!

The service was great and very courteous, so I will definitely be visiting it again to try out the rest of the menu!

Rustom Battliwala: Sojju Khavanu ā€“ Peevanu; Majja Ni Life!

Iā€™m a Bawi, which is why when it comes to Parsi cuisine, Iā€™m a purist; no two ways about that. Iā€™m the non-violent type but, mess with my Dhanshak and Saali Boti and rest assured, ā€˜mein tumhari boti-boti kar dungiā€™. (Well actually, Iā€™m very angelic ā€“ oh come on, please believe me!)

When I received an invite from Rustom Battliwala, my recce revealed the restaurant was headed by a Sindhi chef; Chef Deepu. Quite unheard of! I wondered which gastronomic hurricane I was heading into. Chef Deepu walked in (if I might add, with immense swag ā€“ the nice kind) and introduced himself. Within a minute (or two) of talking with him it dawned on me that he knew Parsi cuisine and the culture really well. I knew then, the afternoon was going to be a cool, pleasant breeze; no hurricane hovered on the horizon. šŸ˜Š

If you guys know where Cafe Mestizo used to be at Balewadi High Street, then at same place now there is this new place called ā€“ ā€˜Rustom Battliwalaā€™. Itā€™s Chef Deepuā€™s brainchild and he has personally curated the whole menu at this outlet.

Long Pending visit to Rustom Battliwala!

So this place has been on my wish list for a long time now and finally I made it to this place yesterday. After riding for 1 hour 45 minutes (in the rain), I finally reach Rustom Battliwala and there I see a server opening the door for me with a huge smile. I settle down and then the server asks me as to what I'd like to have. A confused me couldn't make up my mind and there came Chef Deepu to my rescue. He asked me my food preferences and tadaa...We were all set. Now I was waiting for my food eagerly and looking at the climate outside I wanted to have some pakodas. I requested chef to get me a portion of cheese pakodas and he got it to the table in no time.

1. Cheese Pakoda- The cheese pakoda was so amazing. The consistency was just perfect. The cheese pull was just right and oh how can I miss the green chutney? I'd highly recommend you to try their cheese pakoda.

2. Jujeh Kebab - Jujeh Kabab is an Iranian dish that consists of grilled chunks of chicken which are sometimes with bone and other times without bone. This is one of the most common and popular dishes of Iran. It is common to marinate the chunks in minced onion, lemon juice and sometimes saffron. Now don't go to Iran. Just drop by at Rustom Battliwala and try out this melt in mouth kebab. #HighlyRecommended.

3. Chicken Berry Pulao - The best berry pulao I've had in my entire lifetime. Where were you RB all this while? I've never had a berry pulao which is so good. The rice was perfect and the entire dish as a whole was cooked to perfection. Love love love this one! #HighlyRecommended

4. Dhansak with Rice - The Dhansak was decent. I quite liked it but then I feel I liked the berry pulao better (I know its not related in anyway but still). But no harm in trying it once.

5. Gajar Ka Halwa -Ā  The gajar ka halwa was the bomb. Yeh sardi aur usme garma garam gajar ka halwa. Kya baat hai! And its very reasonably priced fyi. #JerlynRecommends #HighlyRecommended #MustTry

6. Lagan Nu Custard - Let the picture do the talking. This is the best thing ever!!

A big thank you to Dev for inviting me and Team RB for hosting me.

Special thanks to Pempo ( I don't if I've spelled his name correctly) the server for the evening for his awesome service.

I would rate it as 4.5*. "Best Parsi joint of Pune-West"Parsi food is very exquisite and its a very niche' delicacies that not everyone can play with and trust me I have seen places trying to make good parsi food and flopping badly but rustom battliwala has done a super fine job. They have made the joint in tradition parsi style cafƩ and the ambience is very vintage. We were greeted with mocktails which were very refreshing one was "Citra" and other one was "chatpata cola" the citra was more like spiced lime water and was very refreshing and chatpata cola was coke with masala and was very tangy.For starters we tried the "soya chap" "margi na farcha" and "patra ni machi". well the soya chap were splendid and was super tasty, even the onions with were marinated and was super tasty and was totally going with the dish. The margi na farcha as a fried chicken in batter and was heavy with lot of meat. But patra ni machi stole the show. It was fish made in mustard sauce steam cooked in leaves. It was a super amazing dish and was absolutely splendid. For main we had the "berry pulao with chicken" and we had the "mutton dhansak" the berry pulao was something I tried for the first time in my life and it was just amazing. hands down it was super amazing and is a definite must try. The mutton dhansak was slow cooked mutton with flavoured rice and it was equally good. Its a heavy dish and has a array of flavours. For Desserts we tried the "flaming gulab jamun" and also we had the " Lagan nu custard". The gulab jamun was little on the sweeter side but the custard was just hitting the right notes in my mouth. All in all a fab experience. My verdict: do try rustom as it is a one of kind concept in balewadi high street and has a unique menu and definitely try to meet the celebrity chef (Chef Deepu) as he is a gem of a guy and loves to greet his customers with good food and amazing smile.

The food is really tasty. ( kurkure bhindi masala was pleasantly surprising). The ambience is relaxed and mellow. And the service is warm... what else do you need? šŸ˜ƒ

This is such a perfect throwback to the Irani restaurants of Mumbai... It is a perfect melange of nostalgia and modern chik... The facade itself is very attractive and welcoming- I decided we needed to eat there the moment I saw it. It is a "all day dining" format, in keeping with the Irani Restaurants tradition. The menu includes Kheema Pao, Patrani Macchi, Jardaloo gosht, Dhansak... And surprisingly, there are veg versions available for the Kheema and Dhansak. All food was uniformly tasty! The texture and taste of the Jardaloo Aloo was quite awesome! We had another traditional parsi Mumbai-nostalgia dish, Lagan nu custard, as dessert. It was flavoured with rose and was garnished with pistachios. A fabulous finish to a very tasty meal! Chef Deepu favours the patrons with his personal attention and recommendations! The only drawback, is that there is no cloakroom facility. (no alcohol is served, but one really does not miss it. It is a must-visit for every connoisseur.

Fantastic experience of being part of a uptown Parsi food outlet. Love how the rusticness is still intact. Went for the world famous Bun Maska and Malai Chai, and hey, none of us were disappointed! Loved the sweet tea and the butter loaded sweet buns! Check out the interiors. Makes one feel very much at home. The Akuri on Toast, Kheema Samosa and the dinner menu is totally rad. Prices are a tad higher, but then, when it comes to indulgence, we all love a little extra for a price. Enjoy #ParsiStyle food, with love and warmth, according to taste! #RustomBattliwala, Majaani Life! šŸ˜šŸ˜‹šŸ˜

Great food we tried mutton dhansak , tava prawns and berry pulav. Taste was equal or better than Britania at Fort-South mumbai. You Must visit if u have taste for Parsi food and berry soda drink. Meat is tender and well cooked. Food seems freshly made, Does NOT seem like frozen dish microwaved n given.

We had tried their berry pulao and dalcha. Everything was authentic Parsi cuisine. They also serve Ardeshir cold drinks. Took me back to my Bombay roots.

Food is great, ambience is good too. But the space is small, about 15-20 people can only be accommodated at a time.
