Maratha Samrat - Camp

Maratha Samrat Hotel in Pune serves the best chicken and mutton thali I’ve ever had. The flavors are authentic, rich, and perfectly balanced—true Maharashtrian taste. The mutton was tender and full of spice, and the chicken had that homely, soulful flavor that’s hard to find. Portions are generous, the food is fresh, and everything on the thali complements each other beautifully. If you love traditional non-veg Maharashtrian food, this place is an absolute must-visit!

We ordered Mutton Handi with Chapathi, Chicken Biryani, Surmei Tawa Fish Fry, Caramel, Rose Kharvas, Jaggery Kharvas. Each item is very good. But the Mutton was the best of all. Definitely one of the softest mutton meat I've ever had, just the way mutton must be cooked. I've had Rose Kharvas for the first time, really good one to end the meal with. Well done 👍

Let me start with I have had much much better Thali… and priced way more reasonably than here. So they have 2 options in the mutton and chicken Thali 1. Fry 2. Gravy The funny part is the fry has 2 fry’s - Kala and regular and the gravy has regular fry and gravy I wanted the Kaala fry and the gravy but there is no option as such, why would I want 2 fry’s? *Fry means - like tossed I asked them to give me the gravy thali with the Kala fry and they bluntly refused. It was a very bad experience initially, the way the staff spoke and were rude and were not at all accommodating. Later they gave me just the gravy without the meat and they they were very polite that was after they realised that I their logic was illogical and asked them to inform the management. First time I had been there years ago and the service was excellent and the restaurant was very accommodating, this time I was quite disappointed. I know places where the quantity is way more and the price is way cheaper, if they are not accomodating I can understand, here when you charge double and behave like a street side stall… that says it all. Food was average.

Food was really good — we tried the Thali, and it was absolutely worth it! We actually went there twice because we loved it so much. The rassa was rich and flavorful, and the fish thali was superb — truly authentic Maharashtrian-style food. The portions are generous and quite filling for one person. In fact, we shared one thali between two people, and it was still more than enough. Service was great too! If you’re confused about what to order, just ask the waiter — they’re knowledgeable and happy to help you choose the right dish. Overall, a wonderful experience with genuine Maharashtrian flavours and warm service. Highly recommended!

Yesterday, I went to the Hotel Maratha Samrat. We ordered a chicken thali and a vegetarian thali. The chicken thali was fine... I liked the white rassa, but the solkadi was the best. But don't even try the vegetarian thali. this hotel is overhyped. However, the ambiance is excellent.

Menu has typical maharashtrian money dishes. We went for a quick bite but the place is suitable for main course. We had drumstick soup which was awesome. Bhurji was good. Overall experience was okay.

Visited this place yesterday to know the hype. The place is slightly on an expensive side. We had to wait for an hour to get the table since we went post Ganapati visarjan day. The food is okayish. I have had better food at other places in Pune with less price. The kala mutton fry was good. The kheema and lal mutton was okay. Kheema had no taste at all. They charge extra for bhakari so keep that in mind. The service was super slow, we had to call the waiter and remind him about what we need multiple times. Overall okayish experience. Definitely not worth the hype.

Clean and simple. Food was really good across the board. Chicken was well-cooked, as was the fish. Sol kadi was a bit sweet for my liking. Surely recommend and will visit again.
