Good for main course. Interior is too good. And staff is good. service is very fast. Try it once guys. I enjoyed the food. Love the food 🍴🍕🍔
i frankly dont know why this place is rated so low. its the best place to have your dosa ion FC road. in fact, the dosa here is better than most of the places on FC road. i personally love their masala dosa because i am a south indian and this is one place where the quality and the taste of a dosa are almost as south india. their veg cutlet was also great.
service is also swift and the place is clean.
Great place to grab a quick bite ! They’ve a wide variety of food and juices but their quality seems to have dropped in the past few months. A very minimalistic ambience but well trained staff ! Could do better, they used to be really good !
got delivery before time thank you for quick service
Good place for decent veg fare. When most of the restaurants around are closed between 3 to 7 , this place will satisfy your late lunch craving . I had the khada pav bhaji and tawa pulao. Both of them were tasty and well prepared. My friends had the masala dosa and veg burger . Veg burger was disappointing. Service is kind of rude ...and very slow.
Small place , delicious food , variety of options available , reasonable prices. Good for quick lunch or dinner.
I visited with office colleagues, as we had limited time, we rushed into it without thinking of other available options but it turned out to be beyond our expectations.
Pav bhaji , Dosa , even Pizza was really good
The first restaurant I visited in Pune was Lalit Mahal! My road trip to Pune, we stayed in a service apartment near Shivaji Nagar, we were very hungry, so entered in this restaurant, which was near by to us. We ordered food which came very fast, very hygienic and good in quantity but after tasting it, we became so much fan of their food that our 4 days of stay , this restaurant became our regular breakfast center! Price was affordable and staff was too good! They have both inside and outside sitting arrangements!
Now about food, we relished ;
* Idli Sambhar (Idli was soft and Sambhar was authentic in taste)
* Rawa Masala Dosa (Dosa was crispy and stuffing was delicious)
* Onion Uttapam (soft and yummy)
* Tawa Pulav (I thought they’re masters of South Indian food only but they proved me wrong because Tawa Pulav was awesome in taste)
* You can have extra servings of Sambhar and Chutney without hesitation.
If in Pune and searching for authentic South Indian cuisine, must visit this place!
Flavours brought back some good memories from back home..... With first bite it was like 'I know this taste'..... Humble place..... quick service and good food....
best service and test also
awesome food and fast delivery
Simple and good food best bet 😁
ordered online food. rawa dosa , rabdi, and
gulabjam . food was awesome I like rabdi
delivery was on time
Cozy place been there on F C road for a long time. Been coming here since my childhood for Pav bhaji and snacks. Amazing taste. Please try the Pav Bhaji, Masala Pav and Tawa Pulav.
It's a great place to have your Lunch on FC Road, especially if you are a vegetarian
1. Interiors are quiet good.
2. Sit comfortably and have your meal.
Food which we tried:
1. Butter Naan: It was soft and crisp from outer side.
Butter was brushed on it. Good to have for a Lunch.
2. Paneer Kadai: at 120rs., we felt it was a waste of money as it wasn't that much tasty as it was expected to be. Nevertheless we felt it's a waste if money as it contained a less amount of paneer and and the gravy wasn't so balanced with masala
Good punjabi thali. First they serve tomato soup for thali.. Unfortunately we got carrot soup instead of tomato.. as tomatoes these days are costly. Subjis in the thali were good. Raita served alongwith the thali was awesome. Pulav served with thali was nice. The rates are affordable.
Can recommend it for a quick lunch..
First visit today.. Ordered Onion Uttapā...
Arrived well in time..
Uttapā was nice, crispy with adequately put onion pieces..
Sambār was tasty..
But the highlight was the chutney.. Liked it very much.. Most of the times, this chutney provided at many places is tasteless, watery.. But this one was damn good! Haven't tasted such a well made chutney since ages...
Staff is courteous..
Ambience is simple but when food is tasty, does fancy ambience really matter?
Value for money.. Good for quick bites..
2nd visit : Took Paneer Butter Masālā as a parcel..
Quantity was less comparatively... Gravy was ok but the chunks of Paneer were rubbery firm.. Was expecting them to be soft & succulent but they turned out to be otherwise.. Not worth the ₹150..
▱ ▱ ▱ ※ ※ ※ My verdict so far : This restaurant is good for South-Indian dishes but Punjābi dishes aren't so well-made.. ※ ※ ※ ▱ ▱ ▱
Very good food.
Very low prices
Very kind waiters
You can order dosas, pizzas, ice cream, and nearly anything you want.
Only one thing isn't good there, it is extremely noisy there because of the traffic
Simple Udupi Restaurant with good food and prompt service. Had been for lunch. We had vada sambar, Masala Papad, Veg Kurma, Veg Kadai, Chapati, Paratha, Roti, Jeera Rice. Ice tea for Beverage.
South Indian food is good. The Veg Kadai could have been better in terms of more veggies and less of paneer and more spices. Didn't have the typical punjabi taste. Jeera Rice should have been more warm... Extra 0.5 since they have nice warm wheat chapatis/paratha available. Not much choice in terms Punjabi gravy.. most of them have same red gravy.. even Veg Hyderabadi
Service is fast. No frills experience. College crowd would enjoy it..
Go for Masala pav! This corner place is a good food joint priced reasonably considering the riches of FC road! The service is good. Ample parking space for your "seat"! But there is a slight feeling of congestion and it increases with every step for the first floor. Ambience is fine! One can also try Vada-Sambar here! Bon appetite!
I have been here twice with ma frnd food is good people can visit for change in food tastes or to try new place just once we ordered curd rice nd it was not tat good
It is quite difficult to locate a decent south Indian joint in Pune. Especially if you have trusted the reviews of likes of Vaishali and have been disappointed.
Lalit Mahal, apparently not one of attractive ones on the FC, can be your destination for the quest of good south Indian food. Sambar, Vada and Dosa were all good and I was delighted in the end to get good vada and sambar after a long time in Pune. Should have tried the coffee too, may be next time.
An affordable restaurant serving typical south indian dishes where one can meet friends over cup of cofee and snack
Visited yesterday and had Dahi wada and masala dosa . Taste was good . Ambience avg .
Food 3/5
Service 3/5
Ambience 3/5
Awesome place to have authentic South Indian dish. Specially idli,Wada and sambhar has no comparison all over Pune. Good place for all meals.. Had a fab experience many a times. Do try once over ur visit to FC road n u will fall for it again n again. Three cheers !!!
This is an old favorite serving Punaries over decades with dependable service and quality! For me it is always Dahi Wada and maybe a Sada Dosa! But that's it! In and out with a finishing touch of genuine South Indian Coffee!
This place is near by my office i.e, near FC Road so whenever m not carrying my lunch this is the place which comes in my mind to have lunch.
Decent place to have south Indian food, my personal favorite here is Mendu wada sambar, oh I love it!!
Keep serving..
This restaurant is at the end of the FC road (almost); generally left un noticed as you catch up speed from the signal on Dnyaneshwar Paduka chowk, FC road! ;).
It is a good hotel with a decent spread on the menu. Have tried a few dishes here. Nothing to complain.
The staff is a bit ignorant but if you are a regular here - treatment is different. (Most of the folks are regulars here).
Improvements needed in:
- The small tables.
- The restroom.
- The wash basin.
It has saved me many times from hunger. I only order things which they can quickly serve. Food and services are good. Overall better then okay.
Must try South Indian hotel :
Service, quality and variety of menu is good. They have south indian dishes that are rich in flavours and stand out with Lalit mahal signature.
Must try :
Rava dosa : Cryspy, Masala dosa, pepper dosa ( loved it), Cutlet, Uttapa, Last but not the least vada sambhar and idli sambhar
Try sweet kachori a different version from great flavours for fasting.
hotel looks bit clogged yes it is for some tables which are difficult to access but if you want privacy they have family room upstairs.
I have been to this restaurant for past 15 years. Though long time but quality of food is not varied at all. Quality well maintained.
Lalit mahal n niranjan r d best ones on FC road.. Be it south indian, north indian, Chinese or pizzas n sandwiches... Everything is tasty.. Must visit..
this is just my family restron i can say,
pav bhaji, cheese dosa, south indian dishes main course all the things are just more then best,
i usually go here, i m just very happy with there service and everything,
this is thee place where u will find high gen taste low price, and many things related to food,
Pretty good food cheap and tasty
South Indian snacks are the speciality of this place and you wont be dissappointed.
I will tag Lalit Mahal with a 'simple' and 'non-fancy' restaurant. If you feel like eating cheap plane dal-chawal kind of stuff, then this is the perfect place for you. Needless to say, food is not exceptional, its simple and personally I won't call it great either.
Damage per person will be Rs.250 and below.
Ambiance: Nothing great (2/5)
Service: Appreciable! (PS:Food comes fast!)
I do visit here almost every weekend for masala dosa.
Its Underrated place
But must try is amazing for its south Indian breakfast as we have tried only breakfast.
All though they have many thing famous here like Soups,Aloo poori,thali,regular decent Punjabi food.
They for small 4 table Out door sitting. indoor sitting are abit Close.
But Service I found is fast and Good when ever I have visited.
No parking available just the Road side two wheeler parking that mostly is full.
Overall its Lovely place with Good Taste.
Good food, we tried punjabi thali and onion utthapa.
Filter coffee was watery, hence the 1 star goes out.
Recommend. Quite an old restaurant, which they have revamped but the ambience is great.
Good food , great taste only paneer was not fresh , service was quick
If you want a budget food outing at a very good-type restaurant , then add this restaurant to your list.
The taste of the food served here is very good ,My personal pick : Veg biryani was super tasty.
This ia good place to take your family for dinner / lunch .They have AC seating (price difference are present ) and non AC seating .
You won't be disappointed on your visit to this place , do go there to fill your empty stomach!
Decent food and good ambience but can get congested when it's full. The food has a lot of varied options for breakfast and lunch, it is very tasty. The service is good but can be quite slow during crowded times.
We are a customer of this hotel for last 24 years and yes, it has never disappointed us. A pure vegetarian restaurant that rightly suits our need. Hygenic, healthy and professional in every way. A must visit place.
Clean restaurant with good food and very very kind and helpful staff.
Good prices as well 😁
Special thanks to Dilip, the staff manager and now our good friends!
+The best Dosha in town!

Staff polite except one person.

Good place in Shivajinagar if you are looking for vegetarians food.
Nice south indian dishes available with good ambiance. Quality staff with professional attitude.
Recommended for quick bite.
Many locals prefer to order, take away food from here.
Amazing options of Misal Pav to choose from. They also have Misal Puri.
The best one is their Special Misal Pav which comes with Buttermilk and Gulabjamun.
Also they ask you whether you would want less spicy or more spicy.
The Misal platter is quite elaborate and tasty.
Must visit place for all Misal lovers.
Neat and clean spacious with multiple sitting options , fast,friendly and smart service ,
making no mistake ordered masala dosa and onion uttapa ,filter coffee ,good taste with good ingredients .Will visit again
