The is a very old & charming family restaurant on the famous FC road of Pune.
It serves very delicious South Indian Snacks & Excellent coffee. Their Dahi Wada is also very popular.
Kudos to the poha, it was really good. Uthapam and set dosa were too decent
Roopali is located on FC Road...it is bit crowded hotel with senior citizen.
We ordered
1. Onion Uttapam.
2.Mysore masala dosa
3.Medu wada sambhar
4.Filter coffee
5.Banana Shake
I loved each dish...it was balanced South India dishes.
Staff was polite and respectful.
Really good place , went here so many time to eat Mysore cheese masala dosa and aloo paratha
Highly recommend these two items
Plus aloo Puri is also good
Really nice and casual place to have south Indian food in Pune. Everything is good-tasting and budget friendly. Also for coffee lovers, you gotta check this place out!
One of the best place in pune to have south Indian dishes is this.. Famous for its taste and quality of food...
Also one of the busiest places in mornings is this one...
Masala Dosa and onion uttapam are the best i feel here...
Also service is fast and the quality of food is very good...
My ratings for the place...

Overall:- 5/5
I really liked the place. A perfect place for having breakfast , especially South Indian food. I had the Maysore Cheese Masala Dosa and Cheese Onion Utaapa. They were amazing and especially the Sambar was too good 😘😘. I definitely recommend this place 👌
One of the oldest restaurants of Pune. Great South Indian food. Good place to go with friends and family. Might get crowded on weekends and holidays.
Even though its underrated the food here is excellent... The Rawa Dosa is a must have dish here, also lunch thali is recommended... good for a evening snack or breakfast!
This place offers cheese melting idli with chutney which distinguish itself from other south Indian restaurants!
Butter idli- Melting fresh white butter and steaming idli with big chunk of coconut chutney!
Staff Is fairly courteous and speed of serving is good.
Neat place offering good quality unique food they've experimented it!
PS:- Do not touch Sambar and do not hesitate to ask extra chutneys to have authentic taste.

Whenever we are at FC Road in Pune, one visit to Vaishali is always on the to-do. We always used to plan on trying out Roopali (situated just few steps from Vaishali on the same road) on some occasion but our obsession with Vaishali always overpowered our plans for Roopali and we never took that step. Until last weekend.
For those unaware, Roopali is as iconic as its sister restaurant Vaishali, both being popular Udupi restaurants in Pune on FC Road and owned by the same family group.
It was during our last visit to Pune (last weekend) that we finally managed to visit Roopali for a quick and light dinner. It was around 9 pm but after a few minutes of wait, we managed to get a table. Roopali is a simpler and smaller version of Vaishali, with its non-AC seating and lack of ambience. But when it came to food, we realised gradually that both restaurants were as good as on par. We called for the heart shaped Veg Cutlets and the crispy Rava Dosa, both of which were excellent. The chutneys of both the dishes were absolutely different and the sambar was good too, thankfully not the usual sweet types. We ended our meal with some nice and hot filter coffee, one glass of which was good enough to be shared between two.
I'm so glad to have finally done Roopali and I'm pretty positive I'll be going again, whenever the South Indian cravings set in.
Best filter coffee in town. They actually make it strong on request. Love the restaurant. Nice dosas as well. Authentic South Indian. This restaurant is a must visit just to try its coffee.

This is one of the most favourite places in my city. The staff is wonderful, location is great, coffee is amazing and the food is top notch! One of the few places where I don't need to look at the menu card because I know everything there. (Except the prices, which keep increasing steadily).
But the regulars (like me) have some kind of irrational connection with this place and keep coming here irrespective of everything else. A place for all ages, sometimes you may have to share a table with strangers. And if you keep your ears open you may hear the patrons discussing confidently on various topics - from world politics to sports to theatre and films. Everyone here is an expert :P
If you are looking for tasty South Indian snacks followed by coffee your search should end here. Been here many times and all preparations are yummy. A must visit not once but those many times you feel.
If you love South Indian food this is the place 😍.
If you are around Fc road and craving for south Indian food just jump in here😎
I had masala dosa, onion uttapa and coffee😋 The service was good even if it was crowded 😊
Roopali has always been a delight. the south Indian delicacies here are amazing. the staff here is very attentive and spot on.
The dahi WADA and Rawa masala are just one of it's kind.
This is a pocket friendly place.
Roopali will never let you down. Highly recommended.
One of the popular South Indian legendary outlets in the city. Visit was long due and it absolutely did not disappoint.
They were courteous enough to book a table for 10 over call even during rush afternoon hours.
Delivery of any kind of Dosa was super quick within 5 mins.
Taste and quantity/quality is awesome. I loved the fact that Sambhar was authentic and Not typical sweet Puneri style. They serve additional if required. Also try Lemon Soda during summers.
Ambience is a bit of an issue because the place is old and cramped up. There is always a queue waiting for you to get up. So if you decide to go, only visit for the food and not to spend a quality time with someone.
All 5 stars!!! Great quality, taste, ambience and courteous staff! Delivery time is comparatively low making it as a usp. One of the famous old restaurant and still it maintains that reputation by quality food. Must visit place for south indian and tea!!
Best place for south indian dishes
Nice sitting arrangements
One of the famous place in Pune
Token/queue system👍
Mostly crowded because of awesome taste
Quality food
Family /Friends gathering place
In budget/ not heavy on pocket
Service quick
Little waiting even if too much crowd very well maintained management
Friendly staff
This is an amazing place serving food lovers over decades. The best South Indian food you can get in the city. The most authentic taste of Sambar you get here. Mysore sada dosa cutlets rava dosa and coffee are a must try. Do try out the thali as well for a wholesome meal. Keep up the great work always
I must have been to FC road a hundred times, but this place is always full. Fortunately, this time a got a table quickly.
It was late evening and early dinner time, so we ordered sabudana vada, poori bhaji, aam panna and chai.
Vada was amazing, crispy on the outside and soft inside. Perfect balance of flavours. Poori bhaji was amazing too.
Aam panna hai cardamom, but I believe that’s how people like it in Pune. I have had similar one at Goodluck too. The waiter mentioned that they don’t prepare aam panna and get it from outside.
Chai was good, service was super quick and I can’t wait for my next visit.
Cheers
Roopali.
This place doesn't need any introduction. This restaurant has been her on FC road since ages. People old and young frequently come here to enjoy tasty, simple, satisfying South Indian food. I have heard tales from senior citizens of how they used to come here for coffee and idli dosa back on their days so many years ago. I think it is one of the oldest restaurants of Pune. This place is full no matter what day or what time of the day it is. On Sundays it is especially crowded as people come here to have their Sunday breakfast after their morning run or cycling or visit to tekdi. There is lot of laughter and happiness shared over coffee and amazing food.
After many days I visit Roopali for breakfast. I had #ravadosa which was crispy and soft at the same time, #meduwada which was floating in a bowl full of #sambhar and #vegetable #cutlet with green #chutney
And of course there was a glass full of filter coffee to boost me with extra energy for the day ahead.
I don't know why debit cards are not accepted here.... South Indian Delight. You will definitely love the food. Ghee Idli is a must try. I would recommend filter coffee instead of tea #TheFoodieTraveler
One of the most old places of pune.
The food is so tasty that you are willing to pay any price.
Service is fast and the best.
Ambiance is great too.
Crowd is trendy except the show off new students. Those guys are really creepy.
Absolutely love this place and the food
Amazing place to have pocket friendly food
Also the food is very tasty
Specially puri bhaji and sandwichs❤❤
Ambiance : 3/5
Food : 4/5
Service : 4.5/5
Cost : low+
A fast serving south indian joint famous or known as place for senior citizens but you have to visit many times. In general you order anything here, dosas, uttapa, idli, coffee all will be good. But my personal favorite is meduvada sambar. When medu wadas float in that sambar they are heavenly 😍 try once for sure
What can I say about this place? It's like my second home....
South Indian food is always recommended and you get it any time. Signature thing in South Indian food is their unchanged taste of chatni sambar.
Apart from this I would recommend thali which has typical flavour of byadgi mirch and blend of South Indian spices. It has 3sabjis rasam sambar 3 chapatis / 5poori rice pickle papad and curd.
Indian types burger can be tried if u r bored of eating idli and dosas
The So called Twin of Vaishali. Roopali. Located on FC road. Mostly crowdy with foodies from all over the town. A good place to go for vegetarians. South Indian food is a must try.
Refreshing your taste buds
Starting with taste and quality it deserves 5 star rating, Roopali is an South Indian Cuisine restaurant majorly famous for breakfast at FC Road, but they should add on some facilities like AC sitting and need some betterment on their interiors and ambience.
We ordered cheese Mysore Dosa , Vada Sambhar Chutney and Bread Butter. The only improvement in food they need to make is the bread felt a little dried up
The best Mysore Dosa i have had in recent past , the quantity of Cheese was also upto the mark .
Special mention of green coconut chutney they served with Dosa was extra ordinary
Vada sambhar was also crisp and was very good in taste
All in all a very good breakfast experience refreshing the taste buds
All time favourite they have really good food n great coffee n u can customise coffee like u want strong, less sugar, regular every time i go my favourite is idli batata wada with coffee the other things u can try is Thali, puri bhaaji,tomato omelette and many more will surely update some more pics soon.!
Food was good , delivery was on time
thank you
This time i ordered from here rather than its sister concern Vaishali. Excellent sambar, excellent chutney, even green chutney was yummy. Mysore Dosa has to be among the best.
Roopali Veg restaurant on FC Road is a very old venture and very famous for its locality and premium services ! Do visit the place for some great early morning breakfast. The Poha and Upma here are worth trying. 😋
The best place i have heard about south indian dishes is this one... The masala dosa as well as the onion uttapa is love for. Me... I love the place and the environment here... The service is also too good and very fast...

Breakfast has always been amazing at roopali!
Must try- Masala dosa, coconut chutney, Medu wada Sambar, Filter coffee
Ambience and Service- Ambience is both indoor and outdoor. I prefer sitting out on a nice cold Sunday morning sipping my filter Kapi :) The arrangements are minimalistic but the service is damn fast. You ask for it and you have it!
Food- Almost everything on their menu is delicious. I'm a fan of their Coconut chutney and Sambar.
All in all- great family or friends place to have a sumptuous breakfast!
This place is always buzzing with the fc college crowd and you always have to wait to find one table for yourself. I make sure to visit this place only when I have time however their service is quick and its a legendary outlet in pune.
We had been to this place for breakfast. Meduwada and idli are tasty. Quantity and quality both are good. Service is quick. Best was it's filter coffee and tea. Dnt miss this.
We had a proper dinner thali. The food quality was excellent and served to us hot. The staff was also polite and promptly served us the food. Our thali consisted of 2 sabjis, 1 rasam( lovely taste and was hot enough to please you during the winter season), 1 sambar, 1 curd, papad, pickle, onion, rice and roti. The curd was a bit sour for my liking but overall the thali was really filling. Rasam was really a standout dish in the thali and suggest my followers to have a quick bite at this place whenever near. The place actually is recommended for having authentic south indian breakfast items that really goes easy on the stomach.
So overall on the basis of my experience at this place I rate this place 4/5 and would give an additional 0.5 rating for the prompt service. I thank the owner for providing me a good experience and time at the place and also serving lovely food.
Overall my rating would be 4.5/5.
♥️the food is awesome in taste as well as in dishing♥️I had been here for first time on behalf of Diwali pahat 🌟dosa ,set dosa ,chai and all is awesome in taste😉😉
Roopali has been my go to place for South Indian when I’m near the Deccan area for years & years .Yes prefer it to Vaishali for South Indian. Taste has been consistent throughout & best part is the service out there. My default order there is Sada dosa & tomato omelette. Love their sambhar & chutney as well. My go to place 😁
A totally suitable place for quick healthy and filling meal
Apart from the south indian foods served here, I really love the CURD RICE here
They have great taste of chutney and RAVA DOSA as well
Bisi bele bhat are also good
The flavour of the plain rice is mouth watering and authentic
Service is NEVER SLOW
The tea here is all what you need after a tiring long day
Located near my office, I seldom get a parcel or walk in for saving time
The service and taste is same here since years
They offer you to share tables and decently manage all the customers
Must appreciate they have not made any error in the bills and calculations inspite of managing so many customers sharing tables at the same time!
Date of visit - every Friday/Saturday over the last 5 years.
The theme of the place is - keep it simple, silly!
My standing order over here usually is butter idly and strong filter coffee!
The dollop of butter mixed with the tangy sambhar is match made in heaven. Wash it down with a glass of the bitter coffee.
Other recommendations will include Mysore Cheese Sada dosa or Cheese Sada dosa.
Just a perfect place for a evening hangout and a light refreshing meal.
A bustling, no frills fast food joint serving South Indian, Maharashtrian food. Prompt service, good taste and very reasonable prices make this a crowd puller around FC road
All time, any-time hangout. Failsafe option. Much more peaceful than Vaishali. Does the basics right, of serving good food, in time with good service. Have been coming here for a decade. Filter coffee is good. I have to have it atleast once or twice a week. Has a nice vibe
This is not a place where you just go eat, have a coffee and leave. This place is the one you visit at least thrice a week with your friends, have a glass of strong filter coffee, snack on some southern delicacies and enjoy your time
Visited this restaurant to have breakfast. Tried idali chatani and medu wada along with sambar. Taste was amazing. Very good place for breakfast. They also served complimentary sweet during Diwali time.
One of the oldest restaurant located at FC Road and favorite amongst all Punekars. I have visited this place multiple times and all their south indian dishes are worth of each single bite.
Try out their Mysore Masala Dosa and cheese Uttappa with the typical taste of coconut chutney and sambar. One can definitely go for filter coffee along with above stuff.Keep a buffer time of 30 mins at least for waiting especially on weekends.
Overall Rating: 4

One more iconic place on FC Road with a big fan following amongst punekars and people visiting pune. We went there early morning on Saturday and as usual waited for 15-20 minutes to get a table.
Ordered for Masala Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa, Sambhar Vada and Sabudana Vada. Both the dosas came accompanied with yummy coconut chutney. The dosas were crisp and sambhar was piping hot. Medu vadas were fluffy and on our request came dunked in piping hot sambhar. Excellent taste. Sabudana vadas were also very flavourful, not very oily and green chillies provided that extra flavour. It came accompanied with sweet curd.
Finally we rounded off our breakfast with some excellent filter coffee which is one of the star attraction at Roopali. Excellent food, casual ambiance, quick service and excellent value for money.
My personal review:
Food Quality: 5/5
Service: 4/5
Ambience: 3/5
Location:5/5
Value for money: 4/5
Taste and service both are awesome and what else you want. One of the best options for Quick bites. Situated at prime location and always crowded. Visited by all age group.
This is always my go to place to have coffee and good chitchat with friends.
Place might get crowded on weekends or holidays so you may have to wait sometime before you get a seat.
Must try dishes are- Mysore masala dosa.
Veg cutlet
Rawa sada dosa.
Bhagyendrasinh Chudasama (Baggy)

Known to be Pune's famous restaurant Vaishali's sister, this place has a vibe of its own. Alot on the menu is different from Vaishali apart from the dosas and uttapas.
What I tried?
I tried the...
Onion Uttapa
Veg Cutlet
Mysore Masala Dosa
Puri Shrikhand
Cheese Chilli Toast
Mango Milkshake
Puri Shrikhand that was served was just fabulous.
A 4 on 5 from me.
A quaint place serving mainly south indian. The dosas here are amazing . The cold coffee awesom. But the thali here is the star of the limited menu. However the place is always crowded .
Best place to visit to have south indian food.
The food provided over here is too tasty and delicious.
One of the busiest place around FC Road pune. Where most of the people visit. The taste is similar to their sister concern restaurant Vaishali.
Each and every food served over here is healthy and fresh.
Must try all types of South Indian food. One of the most preferred place to have south indian food.
During weekend the place is full of rush you won't event get place to sit and have food. There is waiting during weekends.
I have ordered
1. Vada Sambhar Rs 70/-
2. Dahi Wada Rs 80/-
Ambience: 4/5
Taste: 4.5/5
Service: 4/5.
So basically there is no need to praise this restaurant but i just want to share what i feel about it. Roopali on FC Road is the best restaurant to try out south indian breakfast items like idli, wada, masala dosa etc. This resturant never disappoints you and has not only maintained its quality but has improved it over the years. The brothers over there are really very polite and give us a warm welcome and they do the most basic thing immediately, which is expected in any restaurant i.e serving you a glass of water as soon as you sit on the table. The green chutney is so delicious that i need to order an extra one (no charges included) because it just doesn't satisfy your taste buds.

Mysore sadha dosa and mysore cheese masala dosa with hot cofffee.

Please do visit the restaurant without a second thought❤
#food #lovefood #respectfood
Go to place for rassam rice and Sathe coffee, Roopali's famed layered bitter black coffee. Taste seldom varies from Vaishali. However, it is easier to get a table at Roopali and the place is quieter too despite being on FC Road.
Always pleasure to enjoy Roopali food ,mouthwatering , consistency in taste and quality. Best of service. Veg thali is something one must taste, medu vada is all time favourite. Sambar is always yummy and so on and on..
My all time favourite place for filter coffee.
This place is always full but you get a table very fast and not much of waiting time.
The service is fast and prompt.
We ordered one idli sambar , tomato onion uttapah and fresh lime soda.
Idili sambar was served hot and was very tasty. Their sambar taste is unique and very popular so must try when in pune.
Uttapah was huge loads of tomatoes and onion with a big dollop of butter. My personal favourite.
The place is quite pocket friendly.
One of the must visits. Highly recommended.
Heard hot about this place and always wanted to visit and try south Indian delicious food on Sundays the restaurant is always crouded right from very early morning . It's one of the legendary south Indian restaurant you want regrete

Looking for a family hangout? This is the place to be. Located on a busy fc road this is a grossing south indian restaurant!
The main attraction to this restaurant is the breakfast and South Indian dishes they provide. Dosas and sandwiches are the best!
In masala dosa they are generous with the potato mash and the chutney they serve with is really delicious!
Their coffee too is upto the mark! One must have a coffee when they visit this place
Overall the ambiance is good but can't say to be the best. Seating is plenty and service is also really fast! Cheers!
Friendly staff, quick service, tasty food, pocket friendly prices! We ordered Mysore masala dosa and club sandwich which was delicious and up to the mark! The south Indian dishes served are amazing and also consistent in quality. The coconut chutney is the USP of the restaurant!
loved the place and food. restaurant 80% justified for what it is famous for . i believe if you want to check. for real quality and taste, go for standard menu.i ordered south indian thali, poori bhaji and chiku shake. all were too good.. place give you feeling of being in pune , as u can see old people's and authentic punekars here .
It is one of my preferred places to have south Indian food. I have been visiting this place since my college days and they serve excellent quality food. The sambar and chutney served over here is is superb in taste and similar to their sister concern restaurant Vaishali. Although I feel it is much better and balanced in Roopali. I have tasted almost everything from the menu but I really I like the Masala Dosa and Veg Cutlet and always make sure that I have these two dishes in my every visit. Service has always been exceptional over here. One of the Must visit place in Pune.
I have been visiting this place since 12-13 years..
Its awesome place for a nice cup of tea and snacks :)
I find same taste and quality of food every time I visit.. and its really a cool place for hanging out
It's a very good place for quick bites. You will get variety of food items here. Ambience is very good, this place is very neat and clean, well maintained. Tried Masala Dosa, Tea. Food quality, service is very good. Price is comparatively reasonable. UPI/Card payment is accepted here.
Very underrated restaurant.The food is tasty and affordable compared to vaishali.The pav bhaji and south indian dishes are a must try. The veg thali was average but the puris very the best part of it. They have started to serve chole bhature now,yet to try that though.
This restaurant deserves more attention and credit for sure.
They offer a whole alakate menu but 8 mostly prefer taking a cup of tea.
The food is delicious. The staff is quick and responsive...Just indulge yourself in food and chat..
Not much waiting as compared to vaishali hotel ... we tried shrikhand Puri and potato subji.. which was delicious 🤤
Always crowded with people, since it’s located on the busy FC road, pune. The service offered was amazing and quick, we really enjoyed it. The food we tried like puri kurma, puri shrikhand, veg. Cutlet, chesse dosa, vada sambar. Must try the medium strong filter coffee. Food taste is good. Really enjoyed the dining experience with family and friends. This restaurant is always a favourite place for many people and college students. The staff is soft spoken, well mannered, clean uniform and they even will suggest you good spot to take the group phone. Simply love this place.
It was a great experience. I went with my friend for Lunch. The food was awesome with reasonable price ,
I liked the food. Price is also very reasonable compared to taste and portion. Personally I felt south Indian food is good. Filter coffee had too much sugar but overall a good place for a quick bite
Overall 6.5/10
Idli wada was fresh and yum!
Poha was plain but nice.
Toast butter was yum, chai was great
ig this hotel serves the bestest thali in Pune!
it's so delicious and they charged like only 140 bucks! I've tried their veg special thali and special Tomato uttapam, it's so much delicious.
i don't think so, this much of quality food in such a cheaper price, it is charged so less as compared to its area it's located in fc road, Deccan! and it's very good area of pune
The best south Indian restaurant in Pune! Sambar is just amazing and staff also. Really helpful and always welcome guests with a smile! For sure we will came back 🩷
Coming here since early 80s. The taste is not changed at all since then. Had an opportunity to visit again after 5 years. Same ambiance, taste, quantity and cleanliness.
This time we had thali and dahi vada.
Their thali is affordable and sufficient with full of nutrients. You can opt in for pooris or chapatis. You have to have this if you come here often and never have had this.
Dahi vada was typical South Indian with sweet dahi. Was soaked well in dahi.
