One of the oldest shops centrally located in Aundh, this place is great for quick bites and snacks around this area of the city. The wada paw here tastes great slightly on the spicer side with the mix of sauces they serve. Dhokla and kachoris are too above average.
One of the best samosas in Aundh.
If you are looking for a quick bite from a roadside outlet in Aundh, this is the place to be.
Apart from the samosas, they also serve good kachoris and dhoklas
This is a good place to grab a quick bite if you are Parihar Chowk. They sell Samosa's , Kachori, Dhokla's etc and other Mithai items.
THe samosa I ate was quite good and tasty.
This is sweet shop right in the middle of Aundh area in Parihar Chowk. Hence the name Parihar! Every time I passed this shop in the evenings, I saw a little crowd standing on the outside porch. So I checked it out.
Turns out this place serves pretty great wada pav, samosa, bhaji and dhokla. Now it does have all the other regular sweet-meats. But wada pav, samosa n dhokla are its KRA and for all the right reasons. A major plus is everything is consistently served hot and the bread is fresh. Also wada pav is not available in Aundh in abundance. All working in favor of Parihar sweets! They serve all the other sweet-meat stuff as well. All are fairly efficient.
It's a worthy place to tryout an evening snack.
This is very old shop. Serve good quality of sweets and fersan. Ambience is OK. Prices of all food items are moderate. There is no much space available for treats and get together.
Another oldie in Aundh with a chowk named after them or they have named themselves after the chowk one would not know. More than the sweets their samosas n dokla are favourite among patrons n you ll find a rush around the counter.
This is sweetshop cum snacks joint that I love from childhood. You won't believe it but I liked it as far as remember from early 90s.
Say around 20 years back when I used to come to pune, we used to eat Vada that's batata vada and ( now vada pav ) along with green chutany. Now also they have same set of snacks Vada pav, Samosa, kachori, palak bahjee, kanda bhajee and Dhokala. Only change is price. And off course sweets menu has been changed. Still love Dhokala and red and green chutaney. I had given half * extra because of Dhokala.
Roadside joint where you can have quick snacks as well as some sweet bites :) Tjey have chatpata samosas , kachoris ,farsaan and all the other namkins. Also...awesome variety in sweets..Gulabjamuns,rasmalai, rasgullas and what not. They have got perfevt location , but place can be maintained better.

There are some outlets which have a good recall value...sometimes because of the food...sometime because of the location. Parihar Sweets is somewhere in between. Like McD in Andheri (West), Mumbai is the most common landmark folks will give you when folks meet up. Likewise Parihar Sweets has everything going for it because of the location for years.
Typical store with the run of the mill Farsan and sweets available here.
I would like to shout out the Samosa and Vada Pav (they have a different style of making these) and for the Onion bhajji. Service is generally prompt.
The place is consistent and so has been the above listed three food items even after 5 years of patronage :) Big thumbs up.
Let's get to the ratings then:

Cool place for sweets, farsans and other stuffs like bread,milk and biscuits which usually are not there in mithai shops. Afternoons we get hot samosas which become cold as fast as they get sold!(no rhyme intended)
Parihar Sweets is definitely one of the best mithai and farsan shops in and around Aundh. The biggest complaint I have with this shop, is that there is absolutely no chance to park your car anywhere near the shop. Either you park your car far away from the shop and walk it up or go on a two wheeler and hope that there is a little space to park your vehicle.
But anyways, coming to the key part – Food. Taste wise it’s absolutely fantastic. My favorite snack here is the Punjabi Samosa. The sabudana khichadi and sabudana wada that you get here is also really nice. Other recommended snaks include their Dholka, kachori and khandvi.
But I think their star is definitely their samosa. I think it’s one of the best Samosa this side of town. I would definitely rate Parihar’s samosa better than the samosas you get in Mithas, Kadhai and Bikarnerwala! I know that’s a tall claim but then I do have my opinion don’t I? :)
The landmark Parihar Chowk in Aundh houses this sweet & farsaan shop – there is a bit of an unresolved chicken-n-egg mystery about the naming – whether the chowk was so named first or was it the shop and which one lent its name to the other!!! The interesting thing is that the chowk now has a different official name (a naamkaran that is now more than a decade old) in the gazette of the municipality – namely, Jijamata Chowk – but such is the well-entrenched popularity of its old name corroborated by this sweet shop that it seems too have stuck for good!!
Parihar Sweets is run by an enterprising Marwari family, extended wings of which also run different kinds of outlet in the Aundh region including a furniture outlet – go figure!!!
Officially, Parihar is a sweets and dry-fruits shop – funnily those are the two items I rarely recall picking up from them!!! My target is usually their DHOKLA or KANDA BHAJJI or JALEBI or VADA PAV or, on rare days, KACHORI from the open air stall adjoining their store which sells these hot halwai items (possibly prepared in their next door factory kitchen).
From the actual brick & mortar shop, I mostly pick up packets of only fresh CHAPATI or PURAN POLI or METHI PARATHA or even CHUTNEY SANDWICH – under Rs 20 a pack - most of which I think they only stock and not actually prepare in-house. I pick the rotis on those days when I have to rush to work and could only cook & pack some Indian-styled subzi in my tiffin. Very convenient since each pack has about 4 thin rotis (so there is a potential for you to even share your lunch), delivered fresh by their supplier at a convenient time that often matches the time I am driving past that outlet! To their credit, they have picked a very good supplier because those are indeed quality poli items - they remain reasonably fresh till consumed many hours later!!!
The SAMOSA and BHAJJI are served hot – great if you want to have them immediately in which case they will put the imli & green chutneys and kothmir & sev on it as they arrange it on a small paper plate – ditto for DHOKLA and KACHODI. I often times grab a mere Rs 15 worth of Dhokla (say one and a half piece, sometimes even two) and have it as a quick breakfast on days when work threatens my having to skip it, delusionally telling myself how healthy of me to choose a steamed delight instead of a fried one, notwithstanding the sugary meethi imli chutney and fried sev I am licking off my fingers!!!!
Simply crossing the always-busy Parihar intersection is a horror, what to say of parking and such like civic amenities. It is advisable you park your vehicle somewhere on the parallel parking stretch of ITI Road or do what I sometime do if I have a willing partner-in-crime drawn from my social pool who either drives, halts momentarily a little before the Jai Hind store, I skip out & grab whatever I have to and re-enter car OR we do role-reversal, following the exact same script!!
I have often noted many students, itinerant traders & salesmen, family groupings gorging on these items in a like manner – there is always great merit to be found in an outlet which gets that sort of local mixed crowd thronging its premises almost all through the day, especially morning breakfast and evening snack times.
Parihar is most likely a clan name, but literally also connotes two contradictory meanings – either to snatch/grab OR to surrender/evade – needless to say, only the first category of meaning truly fits this mithai & namkeen shop although I have surrendered often to its call;-)
There is an good quality sweets,
There is also good snakes, try samosa once time
