I’ve been to Mahaveer Canteen on Club Road a few times, and it’s nice to see how much they’ve improved over time.

It used to be a small outlet, but they’ve now expanded the place and have an open kitchen, which gives it a much better feel.

I tried their different Idli combinations recently, and honestly, the breakfast was really good. Simple, tasty and satisfying — exactly what you want from a good breakfast joint.

Had breakfast at Gangaprabha today, and once again, it didn’t disappoint.

I tried their Ghee Pudi Idli, and it was honestly on point. Soft idlis, good amount of ghee and podi, and the overall taste was just perfect. 😋

At ₹100, I thought it was really good value for money.

Had an awesome experience at GURUKRUPA’s Thali & More

Tried:
🍖 Special Mutton Thali
🥘 Mutton Thali
🥩 Kheema Thali
🍗 Chicken Lollipop
🧀 Paneer Chingari
🥣 Lemon Coriander Soup

The taste was really good, and what impressed me just as much was the overall vibe, ambience, and seating. The place has a really nice atmosphere to sit, relax, and enjoy your meal.

Overall, a very satisfying dining experience! 👌

I’ve been visiting their RPD branch frequently, so I wanted to check out the new outlet. I tried the Double Idli (₹70) and Benne Masala Dosa (₹130). The taste was okay and the service was decent, but honestly, the new outlet didn’t quite match the energy of the RPD branch.

What felt a little sad was seeing that they’ve taken over Pop Inns, a retro classic Chinese café. As someone who used to visit Pop Inns as a kid for Chinese food, seeing the place changed so much feels a bit nostalgic and bittersweet.

I haven’t tried Tinniri’s Chinese food yet, so can’t comment on that—but personally, I do miss the old Pop Inns vibe.

I’ve been having dosa from Namma Dosa for almost a year now, and it has been consistently good every time. The dosa is really tasty, and I especially like their chutney.

Nothing fancy, just a simple dosa that I genuinely enjoy and keep going back to.

📍 Shop 3, Nandadeep Society, Chhatrapati Chowk Rd, Kaspate Wasti, Wakad, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Maharashtra.

I’ve tried quite a few Misals around Pune, but this one at ShriKrishna Bhuvan was honestly one of my favourites so far.
The flavour, spice level, and overall balance were just right.

💰 Price: ₹110

Had pani puri from Kalyani Sweets, Camp recently, and honestly, it still hits the spot. Been having it for almost a decade now, and the taste has stayed consistently good.

Got them for just ₹1,800 during the Flipkart Freedom Sale. 🇮🇳💯

I have an old HMT watch that has some issues and I’d really like to get it repaired/restored.

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Been buying from Vijay Bakery for more than 20 years, right from my childhood, but the recent Rava Ghee Cake was honestly disappointing.

The rava grains were clearly noticeable and some seemed uncooked. The texture and taste were nowhere close to what I remember from their earlier quality.

Honestly, Iyengar Bakery makes a much better Rava Ghee Cakes. 😅

Anyone else noticed a drop in the quality of Vijay Bakery’s products recently, or was this just a one-off?

Chatpata, tangy & bursting with flavour—Jackfruit Chaat🤤✨

📍 Jack Shack

Visited SHAUQ recently. The restaurant has a premium ambience with elegant interiors and comfortable seating. It’s a nice place for family dinners, dates, or celebrations.

The overall experience was good. The service was courteous, and the concept is refreshing. I personally felt the ambience stood out more than the food, but it’s still worth visiting if you’re looking for a fine dining experience in Belgaum.

Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
Food: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5)

We ordered the Ghee Tatte Podi Idli, Ghee Podi Masala Dosa and Filter Coffee.
The food was really good. The idli was soft, the podi and ghee added great flavour, and the dosa was crisp and well made. The filter coffee was also nice.
The ambience is clean and modern, more like a contemporary café than a traditional South Indian restaurant. It’s a self-service place, and since they’ve recently opened, the place was quite busy. Order management took a little longer than expected, but the staff were trying their best to handle the crowd.
The pricing is definitely on the premium side, especially for a self-service setup, but the food quality and authentic South Indian flavours made it worthwhile.

Visited Jack Shack at Khau Katta in Belgaum today. Had the Jackfruit Biryani and Jack Ghee Roast.

I’ve had jackfruit chips and other products before, but this was my first time trying jackfruit as a biryani and starter. The biryani was surprisingly good and the ghee roast was quite flavourful.

Tried Jack Shack recently at Khau Katta, Goaves Circle.
The concept is quite unique — almost everything on the menu is made from jackfruit. I’ve had a few jackfruit products before, but this was my first time trying jackfruit biryani and starters.
We ordered the Jackfruit Biryani, Jack Ghee Roast and a Jack Mojito. The biryani was the standout dish for me. The texture and flavours were surprisingly good, and the ghee roast was packed with flavour as well. The mojito was refreshing and complemented the meal nicely.
