"Darpan Misal in Raviwar Peth near Shaniwar Wada is the real Pune breakfast. Coal sigdi, fiery tari, soft pav — this is what Misal Pav is supposed to be. Nothing in Mumbai comes close to this."

"Vaidya in Budhwar Peth near Shaniwar Wada has been making Green Misal for over a century and you can taste the confidence in it. Mild coconut base, served with bread not pav — completely different from the red misal everyone else serves."

"Vaishali on FC Road is an institution. The Mysore Masala Dosa is crispy, the red chutney inside is perfectly spiced. Went on a Sunday and waited 30 minutes — worth it but go on a weekday if you can."

"Cafe Goodluck near Deccan Gymkhana is exactly what an Irani cafe should feel like. Old wooden furniture, bun maska with real butter, and chai brewed the same way for decades. Pune at its most unhurried."

"Appa near Deccan is where I had Dadpe Pohe for the first time — no cooking, just fresh coconut, peanuts and lemon mixed with pohe. The Kothimbir Vadi was crispy and well-spiced. Genuinely Maharashtrian breakfast done right."

"Sawai Veg near Sinhagad Road is where we had dinner after Pu La Deshpande Garden. The Aamras Thali during mango season with khasta puri and pure Ratnagiri aamras is a combination that's hard to find this well executed."

"Cafe Yezdan on MG Road in Camp is open almost every day and the bun maska with omelet is a proper Pune breakfast. The Irani chai is strong and slightly sweet. Old-school cafe that hasn't tried to modernize itself."

"Hotel Shreyas near Deccan Gymkhana serves a proper Maharashtrian thali for lunch. The variety of bhaji, dal and rice dishes was more than I expected at that price. Reached at 1 PM on a weekday and got a table without waiting."

"The Sabudana Vada stall in Rasta Peth Khau Galli is where locals actually go. Crispy outside, soft inside, and the peanut chutney is the right kind of sweet-spicy. Ask for hot ones straight from the fryer."

"Shawarmaji in Koregaon Park is a solid evening stop after exploring the area. The shawarma wrap is well-stuffed and the sauces are good. Parking near Koregaon Park is a nightmare on weekends — better to come by cab."
