I had ordered tandoori paneer tikka and paneer bhuna. Paneer bhuna has a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. You should definitely try these 2 dishes. Tandoori paneer tikka was a bit spicy, but the taste was very delicious. Paneer pieces were soft and easy to cut.
The ambience was like a traditional restaurant. Warm lights were used to give it a perfect traditional look.
Have been visiting this restaurant for quite some time now. We had the the following on a recent visit
Nachos - nachos were creamy and not overly done with veggies which is why we loved it. The nachos and cheese were fresh !
Minestrone soup - the best soup I have had in recent times. Perfectly sweet and tangy and had a very creamy taste to it.
For main course we had -
Cheese butter masala which is a chef speciality. It is paneer butter masala but with cheese cubes in it. Had a decent taste. Though it can be improved
Dal makhani - nice decent taste. The dal was rightly cooked and had a nice aroma to it
Amrapali is a good family restaurant which can be tried once in a while !

The food was very delicious.. must try butter garlic paneer ,mushroom rice .. and they have very peaceful ambience so you can enjoy your food
Consistently-maintained quality of food throughout the years. No surprises when it comes to ordering. Fast service and good staff
One of the best places to have Punjabi food... Punjabi food is delicious... Place is a bit small... very close tables. Chinese food is not so good..
Very Delicious North Indian and Italian dishes served. Amazing hospitality whenever I am here. Must visit. One of my most favourite places in Pune.
This restaurant is a bit tough to find for a newbie. The food here is sumptuous. Simply good on taste. Ambiance is fine. Cheese pulav is a treat for your taste buds. Highly recommended.

Fergusson College road (F.C. road) is one of the most bustling roads in Pune. Filled with street side shops and food stalls, it also houses some of the most delicious restaurants in Pune. Down a small ally we found Amrapali, and it turned out to be simply mind-blowing.
The path leading to the restaurant’s opening was set to give a very exquisite vibe. The restaurant was lit by warm yellow lights and decor that took us back to Punjab. As usual, since smell of the food is what first strikes us, this restaurant was filled with a lingering scent of butter. We were seated by very pleasant staff members and we were ready to dive into the amazing flavors of Punjab and other North Indian states. Without any doubt, our first dish was a tandoori paneer tikka platter, I mean it was very obvious at this point. Beautiful soft and creamy chunks of paneer served in a skewer, topped with capsicum and onion, it was the perfect starter. A bite into the paneer tikka and we knew this place was truly authentic in terms of their flavors. The paneer was so soft that it almost melted in our mouths and the seasoning and marinade were perfectly balanced. The starter was followed by our main course which was Masaledar Mushroom and Butter roti (with extra butter). This was, in all honesty, mind blowing. The mushrooms were cooked to perfection, the flavors of the masala were well-balanced and the buttery roti complemented the dish beyond words that can be used to explain. The main course was simple but it was made to such impeccable perfection that we kept repeating our order till our hearts were satisfied.
Amrapali is yet another gem in this Pune city and we definitely look forward to visiting again just to indulge in their authentic Punjabi flavors. They do offer other cuisines such as Italian, Chinese and other North Indian states cuisines, but we will be going there mostly for their Punjabi flavors. Its becoming a rarity where you find authentic Punjabi flavors and Amrapali offers top notch flavors.

Although the food is a little overpriced, it's one of the best North Indian restaurants in Pune. The entrance is not easily visible but one can find it on maps or by looking hard.
Everything over here is tasty
A heaven and patent for vegetarian lovers!

Service is fast
Taste is constant from the past 5 years (as I'm regular from these many years)

Amrapali is the best hub for vegetarian and Jain people. The ambience is cozy and peaceful. The staff is warm and the service is good. My favourite is Sham Savera from Chef’s special with butter kulcha, Cream of tomato soup with bread roll and chocolate brownie with ice cream very time a go there which is atleast twice a month. I have celebrated my birthday and anniversaries of my family members here. I visited this place and I have great memories of the place and food.
Undoubtedly, the best vegetarian restaurant I’ve ever visited.
Very cozy place, and I regret not knowing this place before!
The interiors are absolutely lovely, and the place feels like home!
The food quality, quantity and taste is brilliant.
We ordered Paneer in lemon green garlic sauce as starter, and its the best paneer starter ever! So fresh, soft paneer with delicious garlic sauce and a nice taste of lemon! [recommended]
Lasooni Palak Paneer was a nice dish, creamy and sufficient in quantity.
Hyderabadi Biryani was aslo very nice and tasty!
Service was good.
Overall, this place is the best for family dineout.
A must visit place in Pune!
The food and ambience, both were euqally amazing. Whenever I visit other restaurants, I get full in one roti after all the starters and soups. This time I could eat properly and enjoy every dish. This is when you can say that the restaurant has amazing food quality, as most of the restaurants add soda in their food. MUST VISIT IF YOU ARE IN PUNE and want to enjoy quality and lip smacking food.
best food and service packages
There are very few places where you get sumptuous North Indian food. This is the place for you! The veg bhunna and paneer Amritsari sabzi with tandoori roti is just the lunch you want!
The best thing about Amrapali is the the quick service. You feel you are in a bombay restaurant relishing finger licking food as fast as you can!
would be nice if the onions provided are freshly chopped
A pure veggie friend introduced me to this place. Anyways doesn’t need any introduction as is been here so many years now similar to two other restaurants nearby.
Good ambience. Always crowded specially on weekends and if not booked can take time to get seated.
Apart from the typical vegetarian menu.
I like to eat baked au gratin and corn with spinach. I have eaten these dishes on several occasions and it’s the same taste for so many years. Never disappoints me actually I come here to eat only these dishes and sometimes the mango milkshake it’s super delicious.
These ones are must try and one needs to taste it to experience it.
It's remarkable !! Guys you must try out specially if you are a vegetarian...
My most most favourite & preferable restaurant when it comes to Vegetarian food.
The ambiance is nice. Place feels good & the Food !!!
The Best paneer I ever had in my life.. Must try any of Paneer dishes & also can check for the Chinese, Biryani etc.
Any item you pick, you won't disappoint !!
Food is awesome. Delivery was also bang on time.
Customer Service is Excellent.
Ordered Hyderabadi veg biryani and it came with zomato treat sweet dish :)
Both biryani and sweet dish were as fine as veg things might get ! Super fast delivery and awesome delivery executive.
Ordered at home. Mushrooms masala was yum as was the nan. Nan was a little small for the price charged.
Food and ambience both is very good and tasty. Good place to visit with friends n family. Enjoyed the food even rates are reasonable and service is very prompt.
Amrapali Pure Veg:- FC road behind Rupali Hotel
This was my first visit to this legendary place.. I regret I didn't knew this place for years...
It's a pure veg restaurant in heart of the city FC road...
We ordered masala papad.. crunchy papad topped with tomato & onion
Paneer Dilkhush :- As the name says it's totally a fabulous dish.. brown greavy with soft paneer tasted awesome
Butter roti & Lachha partaha was also excellent.. special mention for partaha one of the best I had
Service was lightening fast...
They just started Italian & wood fire pizzas
Will visit again for other items
Happy Eating 😊
Excellent Food. Ordered Mushroom fried rice and got desert free with that. I would definitely recommend it. Delivery guy Ganesh was on time and overall great service.
Situated on FC road yet this place so quiet and peaceful one of the very good. Taste wise would rate it 4/5.. Ambiance wise 3.5/5.. Service - 4/5. Paneer Amritsari is quite good with very soft panner that melts into the mouth. All in all its a must try restaurant.
I've been going to Amrapali since 2007, and it has never disappointed me. The food quality and service remains top notch till date. A paradise for non-vegetarians to try out some good vegetarian food.
Personally, I feel this is "The Best Veg Restaurant" in Pune. Order anything you need and it will be served within no time. Fast service excellent food quality and not too pricey makes this place the most favourite amongst many.
The place needs to be revamped as it's gotten way too old. You need to have patience waiting outside for your table booking.
Overall I get a very good experience every time I visit this place.
FC road in Pune has always been the place for Legendary restaurants.
'Amrapali' is comparatively a less hyped legend in the food business.
Hidden in a small corner it is a Pure vegetarian restaurant.
Food:
They offer mixed cuisine and everything is of the top quality.
I like the Chinese cuisine here .They serve Jain food as well.
Food is fantastic and it will make you visit this place again.
Ambience
It is cute little place with decent ambience.
Traditional wall paintings are beautifully displayed and give you a traditional feel.
Not so spacious and so you might have to face some waiting.
The seating is very well arranged.
Amrapali is always crowded during peak food hours and you might experience Ladies celebrating kitty parties with their huge groups.
A place definitely worth visiting with your family.
The service is quick and the staff are polite and courteous.
A must visit place for vegetarians.
The food no doubt is amazing! But there is this one mannerless cashier who doesnt know how to treat guests the right way and has a very rude behaviour!
I am an amrapali lover since more than 15 years and multiple managers have come and gone, bt the one currently has a very bad attitude of talking and behaving.
Must visit for Amrapali cheese Pulao... The best I have ever had.. Cheese integrates with rice for that juicy flavour added fired onions are a luxury to taste buds.
This is a well known restaurant located on FC Road. The location is quiet on an ever busy FC Road. Coming to the ambience it is simple air conditioned restaurant. When we visited the place we first ordered Tomato Soup. The soup had just the perfect taste. For main course we had Veg Jaipuri and Meethi Malai Matar and Wheat Roti. All things were tasty and perfectly made. And winding up the dinner we had Veg Biryani which was one of the best Veg Biryani I had in recent times. Must must visit place for the food quality and service.
Quick service .
Delicious punjabi food in a Shetty run resto
Special kudos to the owners for their personal attention on every aspect in the property.
I have visited this place multiple times...located on FC Road but slightly away from main road.
They have varieties of food options ,I have tried few and all of them are tasty n mouth watering.
Its like a paradise for vegetarians (non vegetarian can also enjoy,personally i like to visit during shraavan days 😜 and Saturday/Monday/Thursday 😅)
always crowded hence you have to hassle to get in,ambiance is not at all pleasant.But service is fast.
Have good food without thinking of the ambience it's traditional small but food will blow your senses.. Always go there since childhood.. Have great food and relax
If you are looking for food on F C other than south indian then this place is good. Great taste. The biryani here is very good in taste. Waiting as all other restaurants on FC road but service is good.
Feels nostalgic in my every visit. Used to be there with my grandparents and even today it reminds me of them. The place is nicely renovated but the food smell is just amazing. Makes me full but not satisfied. Have added a lot of new varieties but makes me let try only the old authentic menu for some reason. Dont know why! Just love being here.
Love this place. Ambience is too good. Food quality is awesome. We have ordered Paneer chilly as a starter, Masala papad, and in main course Malai kofta, Butter naan, & fried rice. I find all food items very delicious & mouth watering. Service is very quick. Must try Restaurant. Nice Restaurant on F.C.Road.

Have been to Amrapali multiple times now! A real treat for veggies! Amazing food quality and taste! It’s a perfect combination of cuisines with starters ranging from Italian, Mexican, Chinese and Tandoori ( Punjabi .)
The restaurant specialises in North Indian Punjabi cuisine for it’s main course delectables like Sham Savera, Paneer Amritsari, etc., with deliciously cooked veggies and a great essence of authentic Punjabi flavours. You will surely come out with satisfying taste buds! A must try!
Specializes - North Indian cuisine (Pure Veg)
One of the oldest restaurant on FC road. The 3 sisters Roopali, Vaishali and Amrapali. The first 2 serve south indian and Amrapali serve North Indian cuisine. Oldest pure veg restaurant. All paneer subzi's are superb.

Good tasty food.. Not a big place, abit congested but overall nice place. 👍🏻👍🏻
Service is decent.
Ambience is not bad, but can be better..
One of the oldest fine vegetarian restaurant on FC road. Its exactly backside of Rupali. around two month's back tried this one recently. We had ordered their Chilli BASIL Paneer in starters, one main course panner dish and daal makhani with their new Pizza creation.
Overall the food quality is excellent. Must visit place.
Food Taste : Good
Parking: Available for 2 wheeler but for 4 wheeler need to rely on FC road empty slots. ( A bit struggle)
Ambience: Good, once you are inside restaurant you can't believe its on main road, no noice.
Must try: Chilli Panner Basil (too good) something different you may not get elsewhere or less Available outside restarant.
Revisit recommended: Yes
Good luck team Amrapali.
This is my all time favourite restaurant on FC road. I have been coming here since last 15+ years.
All of their North Indian dishes are delicious. These days lots of restaurants serve wheat roti, but only few manage to make it taste well. Amrapali guys do it very well.

I have been visiting this place since the last 20 years and must have tasted almost all the North Indian dishes.
I like all the chef’s specials and their biryanis are indeed very sumptuous and aromatic.
My personal paneer favourite is paneer chilli milli. I like their naans as this is one of those places who never serves rubbery textured naans and theirs are very soft and easy to chew.
Their daal tadka is a must try with butter jeera garlic rice.
The service is very quick. Their plates are always warm before they serve any food. I got a chance to peek in their kitchen once and it’s very organised and clean.
It’s only drawback is that it’s located at the end of a narrow lane and isn’t very easily locatable. There’s always waiting so I would suggest to make reservations before you go.

Suggestion: the menu is so wide ranged, that it needs to be redesigned in a more organised way. There could be an icon for chef’s specials than making another section for it.
Hands down best place for veg Indian food in Pune. Located at FC road so waiting is expected. Place is been for a while I guess 40+ yrs, so you see big family groups and gatherings happening here. The space is little cramped and hence a bit discomfort can occur here there. But the food is awesome, anyday just order paneer amritsari and tandoor roti, something that simple can be so satisfying you only know when you eat here. Never got disappointed and I visit this place every fortnight from past 5 years. Special mention I have to make for tandoori roti, I think everyone should learn how they manage to cook it so perfectly Every freaking time. Impressive amrapali, simple yet the best you are.
Amrapali conveniently backs out from online orders and just shuts off the online delivery. That’s not at all expected from such a restaurant. They should be well equipped to handle a high volume of order without any compromise. Sorry amrapali , your job is to serve customers so however high the pressure is you need to deliver.
Very good food quality, central location, good ambience and nice place for family meal. I am going to this palce for last 20 odd years. Good place for pure veg punjabi and Chinese food.
One of the best place for Vegetarian food. Butter garlic paneer , tomato soup, dahi bhaat and they have started serving pizzas too. Good place to chill with family or friends.

We ordered:
1. Chilli cheese corn tikki
2. Veg sally boti
3. Paneer Amritsari
• Chilli cheese corn tikki : 🧀 🌽
The taste of this dish was amazing.Proper blend of cheese, corn and spices.I would definitely recommend to try this dish out.
• Veg Sally Boti:
Never heard of this dish before and hence thought of trying it.
It was kind of mix veg.I did not like this dish too much.
• Paneer amritsari:
If you like paneer and spicy food then definitely you must go for this one .
FYI , it is not too spicy.
My recommendation:
I will definitely recommend for 'chilli cheese corn tikki'. The quantity is not that much but taste is amazing.
On weekends they have a lot of rush so you can prebook the table or else you might have to wait for around 30 mins.
Cheers!!
Lovely place. Had a great experience here. I'll rate 5/5 for the staff behavior. They were so humble and quick. Paneer tikka masala which here is too good. I would like to visit here again.
Amazing place awesome ambiance food was great and 10/ discount online order food quality and counteyti is very good quick service staff is very friendly and helpful
*****(5star) Veg food experience!!! Worth waiting!! Small but very well managed place.
*****For the professional staff!!!
Must visit with friends & family for amazing yummy authentic veg food
-Try
Aloo Achari/Hariyali kebab/Veg chili mili
:)
Went for dinner with friends twice to this place . Both the times the food quality was upto mark. Service is fast.
Avoid sunday dinners as you have to wait for a long time.
A little compact place but wonderful ambience.
Must try this place
A very good family restaurant where you don't need to think about the price ,taste and quantity of food. The Daal tadka was delish. Even their breads were soft and would melt in one's mouth. The desert was the cherry on the cake. We had ordered brownie sundae with ice cream and chocolate syrup. Its would suffice for two people and is delicious. Would definatelty visit this place again when in F.C Road. Also,they had a very quick service .
This restaurant. This is tasty. Each and every product over there on the Menu. Bang for the buck. Eat Punjabi here. Eat Chinese. Anything. Even the desserts are wort having here. A worth visiting restaurant on FC Road.
Located just behind the iconic Rupali restaurant on FC road, Amrapali as one of my favourite places to head for some excellent vegetarian lunches or dinners.
The food quality is excellent though the portions are a tad bit smaller than other restaurants. The staff over multiple visits has always been quite hospitable.
We went to this restaurant on busy Saturday for dinner. We were lucky enough to get table immediately. We ordered cheese chilli toast and harabhara kabab in starters. Starters were soo yummy, we liked it. Then we had veg salli boti ( amrapali's special dish) and panir amritsari along with dal fry and roti. Both subzi were tasty. Overall loved their food and service was also noticably good. Will be visiting again very soon.👍🏼👍🏼
Paneer Amritsari that I ordered was a perfect blend of spices .I liked the ambience as well as the service !Nice place to visit for a tummy-filling dinner at FC Road.a little costly though as I felt !

Little Jar Of Happiness

This is a small restaurant located in F.C.Road. Pretty difficult to locate as it is situated in underground but ya Google maps will help you😁
Coming to the ambiance, it is a decent place, nothing too fancy about it.
The food there is amazing though. I went there for my birthday with family.
We ordered Manchow soup, Garlic Cheese naan, paneer chilly and garlic cheese bread for starters. The soup and garlic cheese naan were amazing. The paneer chilly was a bit disappointing though. There was no taste in it and the quantity was really less. Garlic cheese bread was also tasting bland.
For the main course we ordered Paneer Amritsari and assorted breads. The sabzi was really tasty and was a mild spicy. The kulcha here is the best. It is so soft and very tasty. The roti's were alright. We asked for soft rotis but in the first round they made it very hard. In the second round they made them soft.
For desert we had chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. This was truly the best part! The brownie was well bade with perfect amount of softness and sweetness. We relished the desert.
The service was also pretty good. The staff was always approachable.
It was pretty affordable as well. We were 4 people and the bill came up to Rs.1463
Overall I would rate it as
Ambiance - 3/5
Food - 4/5

Cost - 4/5
A good family dinning restaurant Amrapali offers variety of North Indian and Chinese food. Food quality is good here and pricing comparatively is fair. Since number of tables is limited one will find waiting here to occupy a table. Staff is good but not courteous enough. Service is relatively fast. Cause if it's yellow light ambience is little gloomy for interiors they have done. Sitting is quite cramped hence gets bit noisy. Would suggest to have North Indian food than any other cuisine.

Amrapali name sounds like Historic . Yes this place is very old in F. C Road, Pune and providing best veterinarian food in town. They have Chinese, North Indian and Punjabi dishes in there menu.
I heard so many times about this place and wanted to taste my buds . I wouldn't visit pure veg restaurant mostly. But this time friend's birthday so he decided this place. On Sunday it's heavy rush because they don't take table reservation on that day. We waited for an hour then our number comes. In my mind something is going on that how will be the food , because so much rush then must be a worth visit.
Then we ordered our starter as Veg-Kebab and Chili baby-corn .The taste of veg-Kebab is mouth watering and very yummy because the perfect blend of spices and crushed vegetable . Chili Baby-corn is kind of Chinese preparation and it also tastes perfect and awesome.
Then we ordered Paneer Amritsari , Dal , Roti and veg pulao. All the dishes are very good and the taste is awesome. I always wandering a veg restaurant with great food. Now i found a great vegetarian restaurant .The service is unquestionable and staffs are well behaved .

The Restaurant is situated a little bit behind the main shops on FC Road. It serves good food and is almost always packed. It’s a great place for having family dinners and conversations. Our experience was specially good because we got a place quickly & the services were prompt as well. We had an entire 3 course meal with Soups (Manchow & Sweet Corn), Paneer Chilly Dry, Tandoori Roti and Veg Makhanwala/Kolhapuri, Jeera Rice/Dal Tadka & Fruit Salad. The Paneer Chilli was, as the name would suggest, extra spicy but worth it. The main course was made lesser spicy and the staff was quick, prompt & courteous.
A congested place where one cannot be free and flexible to eat food! Many a times the waiters make you change the table to adjust other customer. The tables are very close to each other so dnt expect privacy until u use a code word language to communicate!! hahahha! Well, abt the food I think its over priced compared to the quantity they serve! Especially starters ! they add a lot of salad to a paneer starter and serve it to save cost ! Rest when it comes to the taste stick to the basics, the new menu is not that tasty! We ordered nachos and just got some few chips ! Its good for a punjabi dinner or lunch! paneer pudina masala is one of my favourites here !
Amprali situated a little bit behind the main shops on FC Road is a great place to have lunch and dinner. The ambiance is really good and the staff are courteous and serving is superb. We had ordered paneer tikka masala and biryani and everything was delicious. Overall a very great place.
Realy loved this restaurant... delivery always on time, reasonable prices. Excellent food quality, value for money..
