Vaishali Restaurant

This was my second time in hotel Vaishali with 20 mins wait time for a Sunday afternoon lunch.
For starters, we ordered veg cutlet which is served with green coconut chutney and chopped onions, it was refreshing and fulfilling.
We had mysore masala dosa, which is a must try if you come here for the first time since it's their speciality, it is made in pure ghee and tastes absolutely delicious. The Dosa is not crunchy, it is soft.. Only thing is it has too much ghee and it gets heavy for 1 person.
We also ordered masala dosa, it was classic masala with crunchy dosa, perfect size and perfect for 1 person.

Overall experience :
Food 9/10
Service 9/10
Ambience 8/10 since it's too crowded

Best ever for south indian dishes. Authentic South India food only. Awesome taste. Visiting the place from 35 years.

Good place to go and suitable for family as well as friends. Beautiful and relaxing ambiance, especially their outdoor seating area, with dim relaxing lights. Food wise also the taste is good and the service is fast, staff is very efficient in their work. Overall a good place to visit, the price is a bit on the higher side, but considering the location where it is situated the price is justified.

It is on of the city's top most, reputed dine in destination. In peak hours rush is observed, so is waiting period.
They use quality raw materials. Taste is mesmarizing. Rates are on higher side and is natural.

Vaishali in Pune is a culinary gem, offering an authentic South Indian dining experience that transcends expectations. From the moment you step in, the vibrant ambiance sets the stage for a delightful journey into South Indian flavors. The menu is a masterpiece, boasting a diverse array of dosas, idlis, and uttapams that are nothing short of perfection.

Vaishali is not just a restaurant; it's a celebration of South Indian cuisine that leaves an indelible mark on your palate. It is a landmark of Pune.

What can I say about this iconic south indian eatery which the city of Pune is known for!
Mysore dosa is a must-try served with their fingerlicking sambhar and chutney! The batata wada is a family favourite. Their Sabudana wada is the epitome of deliciousness.. Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Don't miss it.
Pair all this up with a filter coffee or cold coffee or their fantastic chai if you're a tea lover.
Overall, order anything blindly and you won't be disappointed.

It was a wonderful experience to have true south Indian food at Vaishali. In fact we have checked the reviews and went there. Absolutely correct reviews !
Service is good but very crowded. Never mind ...the food was too good.

According to a local Punekar, "Vaishali is not just a location, it's an emotion." I had heard a lot about this place but never had the chance to grab a table due to the crowds. Whenever I passed by, I always saw a group of people waiting for a table. Fortunately, I managed to secure a place this time around.

While the prices were on the higher side, I must say that the quality of the food and service was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and will definitely visit again in the future.

All time favourite for South Indian food. It's the best.
Two problems I have with this place one is waiting and another is parking other than that everything is perfect.

This is one of the old landmark restaurants in the area. It serves tasty South Indian food. The service is efficient, hygiene is maintained all the time and it's not very heavy on the pocket. For two of us the bill was Rs.600. And yes we had lunch there.
Must try if you are in that area of F.C.Road.

This is our old favourite when were in Pune. This time we travelled all the way from Bengaluru for work so thot to try this after decades also the taste and consistency is same in dosa .They dosa are so large and value for money. Service as usual fantastic

"An Energetic Morning Amidst the Tranquil F.C. Road"
It's an exceptionally early morning when F.C. Road graciously offers ample parking spaces for our vehicles. The tranquility of the dawn lingers until you step into the welcoming embrace of Vaishali Restaurant, where you're met with the invigorating buzz of patrons. The vibrant and lively atmosphere immediately sets a positive tone for the day.

Here, it's all about soaking in the vivacious energy and inhaling the delightful aroma of simmering ghee that gracefully wafts through the air. Every dish is a joyful adventure waiting to be savored.

The Mysore Masala Dosa graces your table, its golden surface shimmering with a generous drizzle of ghee, promising a delightful journey for your taste buds. Hidden beneath lies the aromatic aaloo chutney, exuding mouthwatering steam. Nearby, bowls of sambar and coconut chutney await, eager to enhance your culinary experience.

Tomato utappa, adorned generously with butter, arrives in a mouthwatering cascade, infusing every bite with a burst of flavor. Halfway through, your satisfied stomach still craves more—a testament to the deliciousness.

Concluding your meal with a one by two Chai, your taste buds are treated to a sweet and harmonious crescendo. You take a moment to relish the lively crowd, sink contentedly into your seat, and depart for the day, knowing that F.C. Road is about to burst into life, leaving you with a positively memorable morning.

This is one the most favourite places of mine in Pune. Best for dosas and a variety of breakfast, snack and brunch items.. in love with the ambience since ages.. Mysore cheese sadha dosa, onion uttapam, cheese chilli toast, SPDP, and their filter coffee are my favourite dishes.

Had mysore dosa , veg cutlet and fresh fruit custard ..everything was yum

Old is gold!! For me the ' best Sambhar and chutney' ever. Everything is great. Idli Sambhar ,dada dosa with white butter! Cold coffee, spdp. Didn't have all this in one sitting! But been going there for many many many years

Vaishali - an institution in Pune , great place to eat traditional South Indian udipi style food and South Indian coffee, the menus has not changed for over 60 years and still haunted by regulars of all age group ! Be prepared to queue if going the first time , regulars know the wait !

Legendary! Have been visiting this restaurant for over two decades. This popular restaurant has always lived up to it's reputation of serving great food. Apart from the typical South Indian delicacies like Dosas, Idlis etc, their SPDP(Shev Potato Dahi Puri) is a must have! Filter coffee is awesome! This place is invariably crowded at any time of the day. Highly recommended!

A Go to place for having authentic south indian food, "Mysore Masala Dosa" here is best in the city , dosa is crispy and tasty.
Other dishes that i love here are onion uttapa(with white butter) ,beetroot cuttlet, SPDP.
And not to forget "Filter coffee" it is amazing too.
Service is quick and Management is very good and professional.
It is most of the time crowded and need to wait to get in however once you enter the experience is Great.

It is a memory lane travel every time I visit here. As you can see, we ordered quite a lot for 3 people. I can’t say what was my favourite. Ghee roast, dahi vada, shev puri, are cutlet highly recommended. What I like is the food comes quickly with no compromise in quality. Some people don’t like the sambar here (slightly sweet) but I love it.

This place serves delicious South Indian food but is usually very crowded.... However... Wait is worth the money
