Great place for pure hardcore non-vegetarians. The mutton really tastes great and beautifully cooked. The thali consists of the mutton, kheema, rassa, and alni soup, with a choice of jowar bhakri or chapati. The place also gives you an option of unlimited thali. The quality of food served, justifies the cost. The service though, is a bit slow. Unlike other thali places, here , they also have desert section the menu. The ambience created with the medieval interiors is great.
Dakkhan restaurant is located on Prabhat Road in Lane No 7. Dakkhan serves traditional Maharashtrian style cuisine. The external appearance of the restaurant itself looks very attractive and once you enter the seating area it feels warm and pleasant. The décor of this restaurant is very elegant and the wooden tables and chairs make seating comfortable. Dakkhan restaurant is pretty famous for their unlimited Veg & Non Veg thali’s and they have now introduced a la carte dishes in their menu.Service was prompt, restaurant was hygienic. Staff was courteous and friendly. The copper cutlery used in the restaurant is really very nice. Seating is comfortable. There was nice music played in the background which was pleasant.
Another delightful little off-the-beaten-track "find" in Pune to enjoy a quiet meal or conversation. Cozy, attractive, and clean. And very peaceful music, low in volume -- something I'm always appreciative of in a restaurant.
The focus here is Maharashtrian cuisine, but I think those looking for a healthy meal would also want to know about this place, judging by my sprout dish (dahl kanda), yogurt and onions (makri usal), and sorghum roti (jawal bakhri).
My only star markdown is due to the menus. They all looked quite soiled, for one thing. For another, only Marathi names were given for the menu choices. Fortunately, the manager was helpful in translation. The dishes were very tasty, though I hadn't expected the sprouts to be in so much liquid, more like a soup than a solid entrée.
I would definitely consider bringing friends back another time, perhaps to enjoy the front patio. Although I saw only one table, there must be more, as there's enough space for several.
