Hi everybody,
Roti is part of our life. ''Usika to hai sab chakkar!!'' (Wait, I will try to translate it into good English for our international friends-- ''For that is enough reason for running behind money''). Rather, we do lots of efforts for our daily bread and butter. So, I honestly feel we deserve delicious treat atleast sometimes.
Now, coming to the point, we will talk about shreyas restaurant. It's on Apte Road which is between Fergusson College Road and Jangli Maharaj Road. Though both these roads are full of restaurants and cafes Shreyas has got it's reputation for delicious Maharashtrian Thali. And it stands different though other restaurants offer thalis on the same road. There lies their speciality through decency to serve large number of groups at a time. Shreyas has got lodging facility also which is yet another added advantage of it.
It's thali (plate) contains around 15 to 20 items with two three fresh vegetables and some mouthwatering items like potato-wada with chatni, surali wadi (made of chana floor), Aalu (leafy vegetable) wadya, fresh butter milk, masale bhat (Maharashtrian spicy rice made in Shadis), tomato sar (kind of soup) and the process of serving goes on and on until you are full and say,'' ''No thank you!''. This doesn't end here. We can keep a space for sweet dish like puran-poli(sweet roties-typically prepared in Maharashtra), ukadiche modak, basundi (sweet milk) or Kharwas.
We can reserve tables in advance if group is big. There may be waiting period of 10/15 min.on weekends and festival days. Here we feel that how so many people are attending lunches here on the festival days avoiding cooking at home. However, its good to have change like Shreyas than having same food at home that too with variety of items of our likings.
The service is excellent and staff is quite alert. They can make an arrangement for a family function on the ground floor as well as on terrace where get-togethers of around 100 people is accommodated comfortably.
Shreyas has got ''shreya'' (Credit) for serving delicious food in nice manner. So, maharashtrian food lovers, hurry up and arrange for grand party here.
