I don't know how many times I've eaten here but this one is one of consistent place in Kothrud area as far as Thali is considered. The thali you get here is reasonable and never make a hole in your pocket. It's a small restaurant cum non-veg mess type outlet with a good seating arrangement. Everyone here is friendly and help you throughout your dining.

When it comes to taste, the things you get here doesn't have that spicy kick which I personally like but the thali you get here is for everyone. The taste you get here is made for everyone's palate. It's on the mild side but full of flavors. I personally prefer spicy things, I enjoy my food when I get that spicy punch in every bite which satisfies my soul but I don't mind having a mild tasting dinner full of flavors too.

Special Mutton Thali (250/-)- Special mutton thali comes with pandhra and tambda rassa, a small mutton kheema vati and mutton lonche, mutton masala, biryani/jeera rice and choice of chapati/bhakri. The quantity is sufficient for a single person or sometimes two people also can share. The taste as I said on the mild side and everyone can enjoy it. The tambda rassa you get here is bit watery but has that flavors and the pandhra rassa is to die for. It had that layer of tawang from fats which taste perfect. I even like the mutton masala which was medium thick in consistency and had nicely cooked mutton chunks. Their kheema and lonche is something you must try and I can definitely guarantee that you'll ask for more.

Solkadhi (25/-) - Unlike other restaurants they make their solkadhi in-house. The color of solkadhi was perfect, nothing added in it to look like a pinkish juice. The consistency was good and had that punch of spices used in it. A perfect drink to have after a heavy thali.

So guys when are you visiting? As Shravan is about to end this seems like a good choice to give a try.
