Eating out in Pune - Part 1

It is always good to start with places you know deliver on value and also on taste. Introducing first a small joint along Paud Road named "Gaonkari"

Please do not go expecting an enticing ambiance or servers in a suit and tie. If you want to go and eat a proper Kolhapuri Meal this is one of the few places which I would recommend. I will be honest and admit that I have no idea about their Veg fare I have not tried it and do not intend to do so. I recommend their Thalis. Now before I go further I must give reasons as to why I recommend this place so strongly.

1. Price : It is very reasonable in terms of pricing. And the value for money quotient is high.
2. Taste : Each Curry on the thali tastes different this is the main reason I recommend this place. Of the many places in Pune which are similar you will notice that the taste of the curries is similar if not the same but not here. I loved the Egg Curry which comes in the thali.
3. Variety : Although I ordered the Thali I was very happy with the variety on the plate you get a taste of quite a few things and will be satisfied with the outcome.
4. Service : Now this is a no frills place. You may have to share your table with some one but who cares the food is tasty you get served fast no matter how busy they are and they will come and ask you if you want something else and will continuously fill your plate with the rassa and onions you don't even need to ask.

I recommend this place because of the taste and the no-frills service. I hope you do give it a try. In the next edition I will take on something on the other end of the spectrum. All suggestions are welcome.
