MASSIVE thali experience in Pune

2018 was officially the year for the great Indian thali. And ones that were way too huge!

I gave in to finally try out this thali in Pune that I had heard so much of. Here is the Daler Mehndi Thali in Pune in Aaoji Khhaoji. It isn’t the biggest, but it is massive! Watch the whole experience in this video.

Aaoji Khhaoji is famous for having some of the biggest thalis ever – their Bahubali thali and Kumbhakaran thali is pretty well known. However, I went in for the Daler Mehndi thali because it seemed to be more up my alley. This thali can be shared among 2 people and that is honestly the reason why I chose this particular one.

In terms of variety, this thali wins. If you want to try a lot of different items then its ok to try this. However, if you are someone who prefers quality over quantity then this isn’t the place for you. The food isn’t all that tasty; however a few items did stand out – like their subzi – especially Bhindi was awesome and they also served some authentic home style white butter which not many places do. So all in all, this is a place if you want to try a lot of different items in a single meal.

While in Pune, I explored a lot of other food joints as well and you can check out some of those videos below.

I would love to know about some of your favorite food places from Pune, so do leave that in the comments. And if you visited any of the places recommended by me then I’d love to know your experience as well.

Must Try Thalis in Mumbai

Thalis for me are an indulgence – one platter with so much variety!

If you love your meals with at least 10 different items, and an unlimited portion then here are the absolute must try thalis in Mumbai.

Shree Thaker Bhojanalay

Undoubtedly the best Gujarati thali I’ve ever had. This place has been around since 1945 and actually started off serving a basic homestyle Gujarati meal. Even now, their food is made with the best ingredients, desi ghee and a lot of love and you need to indulge in this at least once. They serve thalis everyday for lunch and dinner. Their thali costs Rs.500 on weekdays and Rs.600 on Sunday and it is worth every penny. It includes subzis, dal, kadhi, different types of roti, papad, farsan, rice/pulao, khichdi, sweet dish, buttermilk and curd. And the taste is impeccable.

Delhi Highway

One of the few places to serve a Punjabi thali, Delhi Highway sure does a swell job. Their thali includes a welcome drink, some chaat, subzis, roti / naan, pulao / biryani, raita, dal and some desi sweets. Their food is very flavorful. Whether its their chaat or their paneer subzis, I’ve enjoyed them all. What adds to the experience here are their beautifully done interiors. You basically get a fine dining experience at an affordable price. Their thalis cost between Rs.499 – 650 + tax, depending on the day you visit them.

Maharaja Bhog

If you want a  bit of Rajasthani and Gujarati food in your thali, then head over to the nearest Maharaja Bhog outlet. They have a good mix of both cuisines in their thalis. Their thali consists of chutneys, pickles, papad, welcome drink, farsan, a special dish of the day, dal / kadhi, rotis, rice, subzis, dessert and paan. It is a massive thali but if you want to indulge in some traditional food and want variety then this is the place. Their thali costs Rs.533 + tax on weekdays and Rs.581 + tax on weekends.
