The Biryani at Hotel Padma is aromatic and flavorful, with each grain of rice cooked to perfection.

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in authentic and delectable food with impeccable service in Kolhapur.

If you want to enjoy the tambda pandhra near the highway this is the place to go. The place offers the thali whether it be chicken mutton egg or veg. The vegetarian options are very limited. There is a lot of waiting here if you want to have a meal. You need to at least wait for 30-60 mins depending on what time and day you are visiting. It's generally occupied for all 7 days. There is a parking space provided by the restaurant.

We ordered Mutton Thali and it’s really tasty and authentic.

Food was ok but service was very pathetic 😞
Captain was on phone after 1st order. Ordered paneer kaju masala but captain asked to have paneer kadhai as it was already prepared. Still it took half an hour to server. Butter roti and plain roti was served very late. Also chutany was served in very less quantity when asked to repeat waiter said it will cost 50/- per bowl.
This is very bad service

MUST VISIT IF YOU ARE IN KOLHAPUR!!!!

If you are looking for a restaurant with great ambiance, this may not be the place for you. But if you are looking for amazing non-veg food, you should not miss this place at all.

We reached here at 12:30 and placed an order right away. The food was on our table at 12:37.
That's how fast they are.

The menu is no nonsense stuff. They have 2-3 set dishes for Mutton, Chicken and some Vegetarian. That allows them to prepare and serve the food faster.

We tried Special Chicken Thali and Kheema Thali. Both the thalis were amazing. Good thing is that they serve thali with 3 chapatis and mind you, those are big chapatis.

The food is served hot including the chapatis. That makes it even better. The Kheema was so good that I eneded up ordering one more plate.

They have seperate section for families. The staff is very polite and prompt.

They have ample parking space for both 2 and 4-wheelers.

I would like to give it a 3.5 star We had a thali here. They had given bhakri, papad, koshimbir, aamraas, raas, usal. The food was tasty though it was a bit spicy.

Very nice for Non Veg
Typically Kolhapuri 👍🏼👍🏼
Taste was good.

Service was prompt. The place is ideal for family and large group.

Tried Special Mutton Thali here.
Mutton fry was served along with khima and Tambda Pandhra rassa.

They serve chapati/ bhakri along with thali. Opted for bhakri which was good.

They provided tambda and pandhra rassa in separate container which is good system.

Car parking no issues

The best restaurant in Kolhapur I have been too. It is far better than Opel and Dehati. We order's Mutton Kharda thali and special mutton thali was too good. Kharda mutton was awesome. Kheema served in thali was yummy. Pandhra and Tambda rassa was tasty. No air conditioner in the restaurant but they have air mist. Ample car parking. Service was too good.

First timers....Non kolhapukars....Food lovers or anyone with any taste buds...don't order or eat here. This is just a local sidewalk place where they keep adding salt to taste like potato chips....miles away from quality. Feedback is like good taste of food for them, something they can never appreciate. Rating 4 seems fake or paid.
Owner looks for money only business no quality. Hope this shuts down in next few months for humanity.

The food quality is excellent no doubt.
All the items are genuine in the test.
And i am happy with the food quality.
But I am not satisfied with the service provided by your hotel. Which is non negotiable at this type of brand hotels.
The hotel guys are only watching us Nobody comes to serve immediately.
I will just suggest management provide good quality service.

Food quality is very worst. I am not sure why this restaurant has these many good reviews. But we found mutton thali one of the worst in Kolhapur. Don't waste your time here.

One of the Best restaurants in kolhapur. Tarabai park branch has a rich ambience and ample parking. The tastes of both veg nonveg are awesome. Service is quick and polite. Recommended.

I went to Hotel Parakh hoping for a tasty mutton thali, but it wasn't good. The mutton was dry and the kheema was watery. Overall, it was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for mutton thali. There are better options available.

Tandoor exceeded all expectations with its exquisite interior, creating a luxurious and inviting atmosphere. The staff's exceptional service added a personal touch to our dining experience, making us feel truly pampered. And let's not forget the culinary delights – the food was A-class masterpiece, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors that left us craving for more. Tandoor is undoubtedly a top-tier destination for those seeking a flawless hotel experience.

The restaurant is decent, but I feel it's somewhat overrated. We had the chicken thali and it was just okay. Tambda rassa was bland. On a positive note, pandhara rassa was flavorful.
Be prepared for longer wait times on weekends, around 45-60 minutes. Overall, it's an average dining experience.

Peaceful place to dine in with friends and family... Food quality is good...✨

From staff excellence to quality of food everything here deserves 5 stars. We each got a different non veg thali and all agreed that the best were the egg curry and the mutton masala. This is a must visit place if you are in the area!

Right up front I have to say, what a great place to stop on my way back home. I made a visit to kolhapur especially to have the mutton thali with tamda pandra rassa and I was not disappointed in the least.
If you are driving in the late evening or night, keep your eyes peeled, Parakh is surrounded by a lot of bright lights and they just merge into one.
First there is ample parking space and plenty of help with parking.
If you are travelling the highway, then note that the washrooms are clean and well appointed.
The service is excellent. The mutton thali arrived really quickly. One wati of mutton sukha. A mutton kheema and 2 watis of orange and white rassa. I experimented with a spoonful of rassa, it wasn't great and I quickly movednon to theutton and the kheema. Both of which were well spiced and altogether quite awesome.
But the 2 rassas haunted me and finally I asked the waiters how they were eaten. With understanding smiles they explained various ways of consuming the rassas. One said 'take a bite of the bhakri and then take a sip of one of the rassas', another said 'rip up the bhakri and dump it into the rassa'. Count to 10 and fish out a piece, add some chopped onion and enjoy. Now, now this was soooo good.
This was glorious mutton broth which has been spiced. The tamda rassa is spicy and the panda rassa is subtly spiced. The only thing I could have wished for was a cold. I kid you not, this is the type of food that will just clear the airways in no time.

This is one of the good non-vegetarian hotel in kolhapur . We had kolhapuri mutton with solkadhi. Quality of food is very good particularly Chapati and rice is very nice. But this place is always crowded so you have to plan accordingly. Service is very fast and good. Overall nice place to have lunch and dinner.

One of the best restaurants in Kolhapur.

Tambda Rassa was excellent it was the best we ever had. Chicken thali was also excellent with its quality and quantity. Egg Biryani and Egg masala was exceptional too.

Cleanliness was the properly maintained and tue Service too was outstanding.

All in all a Hidden Gem, best in Kolhapur we ever experienced.

Just wow. This is a very well managed, top notch quality taste, and beautiful atmosphere restaurant. There is lot of waiting so if you want to dodge it, go as early as possible when the restaurant resumes its service in the day. what stands out for this restaurant is the service, cleanliness and hygiene and food taste.

Recently on our trip to Kolhapur, my husband & I had the pleasure of dining at Dehati.
We ordered mutton masala thali & mutton fry thali - both of which were delicious.
I wasn't a big fan of pandra & tambda rassa until I had it here ! The pandra & tambda was amazing !! 🙌🏾 Also, they served a small bowl of mutton kheema in both our thalis and omg I've never had a mutton kheema so good 💞
The gravies tasted even better with rice - they serve it with Indrayani rice. (Rice lovers don't miss this combination).

Mutton fry, mutton masala & mutton keema - all three had it's unique taste, although it wasn't very spicy - I'm guessing it was balanced in such a way as to cater to all kinds of public, both local & tourists.

But this is not all, I would make a special mention for their service - they serve every dish one by one, like it's served at home, unlimited tambda pandra, they'll ask you if you want another chapati the moment they see you almost finishing the earlier one.

Overall, food is a 4, service is a 5.

Note : We had a wait time of 15 minutes at 9pm on a Saturday.

Food quality is good. The thalis are good however if we choose separate dishes it is too costly. Good thing is BHAKARI ( Jowar roti) is available. The hotel has the bar as well.

Located little away from city's hustle and easily accessible on main road, this hotel serves authentic Kolhapuri dishes.
Tried mutton thali, chicken thali & Puran poli thali.
All were impressive, meat was cooked to perfection. Surprisingly Puran poli thali was available & was delicious.
Service is little slow but wait is worth as you'll rewarded with amazing food.
Ambience is relaxing & comfortable. Table was available easily on weekends.
Prices are normal as per market standard and experience you get.
Plenty of parking space is available.
You can also try Paan from shop outside restaurant.

They have amazing food. We tried their food for the first time yesterday and it was amazing.
Mutton biryani and mutton gravy was amazing.
Service was on point

Good food 😋 😋 food quality was really nice 👌

Best and must go place in Kolhapur try they special mutton thali and dry mutton thali. Its the best the mutton pieces are all boneless and well cooked. Food and keema just melts in the mouth. For desert try basundi or gulab jamun you will never regret visiting this place.

Tip: go on a weekday and go at the time the place opens otherwise you will find a waiting line.

The food taste is very delicious especially the taambda paandhra rassa! and the service is fast! There’s ample of parking space here but i have heard there could be a lot of waiting for a place to sit. We visited around 7:30pm so we got a place. Recommended when you visit kolhapur !

We stopped at Kolhapur for night and had to visit the fabled Pahunchar, I had veg thali and my friends mutton one.
Brilliant food, specially the ghee rice.
I know where I'd go eat the next time I am in Kolhapur!

Food was good, butter chicken was good.
Chicken Magnet could have been a better recipe.
Other everything was perfect.
They have got a Ac section on upper floor. Good family place.

Patience Pays Off!

Despite waiting an hour for our table, the experience at this restaurant was more than worth it, thanks to their exceptional Mutton Thali. The wait may test your patience, but the flavors in every bite make it all worthwhile. Highly recommend for those craving a delightful culinary journey.

I loved the food. Its pure indulgence. Tambada pandhra Rassa was ultimate. Chugged 6 vatis of Tambada pandhra Rassa.
Dehaati special thali was too much for me. I would suggest opting for either mutton thali or chicken thali.

Nice interior. Chicken Tandoori starter dish was costly but worth it. Chicken Tikka masala was delicious with tender and juicy boneless chicken. Had a great time. It's a go to place for non-vegetarian lovers.

"Padma restaurant offered a truly exceptional dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the welcoming ambiance set the stage for a memorable evening. The staff was not only courteous but also impressively knowledgeable about the menu, guiding us through a delightful culinary journey.

The menu at Padma was a masterpiece in itself, featuring a rich assortment of dishes. Each plate was a testament to the chef's skill, with a burst of flavors that left a lasting impression. I found their signature dish to be particularly exquisite.

The beverage selection at Padma was equally impressive, with a range of options that perfectly complemented the meal. From cocktails to fine wines, there was something for everyone. The dessert was a fitting climax, a sweet symphony that wrapped up the dining experience on a high note.

What truly stood out at Padma was the attention to detail, evident in every aspect of the evening, from service to presentation. It's not just a restaurant; it's a culinary journey that I can't wait to embark on again. I wholeheartedly recommend Padma for an unforgettable dining adventure."

I am visiting this hotel from last 8 years. On my each visit to kolhapur after every 5-6 month I visit here. Food quality earlier was best but now a days food quality is compromised. Pandhra Rassa not upto the mark at all. Food Quality decreased.

The best Place to Visit for genuine Kolhapuri Dish Thali & Quality & Quantity delicious &
Reasonable Price

Most Imp. Peacefull. No crowds. even the food is nice. Take any Non Veg Thali. ( पेटभर खाओगे ) Controlled Rates. I like such kind of places.

Delivery and service time really slow. Server not as per its name hiped in Kolhapur. Food taste is better.

Better place for foodies... Every dish was yumm here... We experienced a chicken barbecue stick & felt like heaven... Loved it... Just go & enjoy the every bite of food.

Disappointed ,

Not so impressed with taste and service.
Food quality is good but service is very bad.

They served stale onion on our table. We asked them for fresh one they told Yess but again they served same stale onion.

Staff is not to good. They don't respond well and rude in behaviour. They add more items in bill receipt to charge more.

Food quality is too average 😕 . We tried both veg and Non veg. You will get more options better than this restaurant.

Average food , poor service.

BETTER OPTIONS AVAILABLE.

If you are a non vegetarian, you should visit this place, you have many options in the menu.

If you like spicy, do try green mutton,

In desert, do taste caramel pudding and aam ras.

The non veg thali was one of the best we have ever eaten! The mutton masala was delicious. Saw lot of locals coming here for lunch too! The service is great, the waiters are caring and considerate 😊 Totally worth a visit and I recommend coming here.

Y'day visited this place. We ordered both Veg and Non Veg thalis. Test was good. Food Quality and Quantity was good. Rates were reasonable. Service was awesome.
Wash room and Hand wash area needs some improvement.
Over all a good experience. All the best

Eggs masala was good. Mutton fry was ok. Dal tadka excellent.

Looking at history and the ratings, I had high expectations for this place.
First impression was really good. Although it was a hot summer afternoon, the mist sprayers brought down the temperature n made us feel comfortable.

Food experience was not so good. Tried mutton kheema thali, kheema was ok nothing great about it. Tambda pandhara rassa can hardly be considered as average. Kheema Egg felt like Panjabi dish.

Getting 4 stars rating by foodie people in kolhapur is not so easy! I can confidently say that I have tasted few other khanawals in kolhapur which are better. So Personally I felt this is lil overrated, or may be itaste has degraded over time.

Prices are almost comparable to rates in Pune. So from cost perspective as well it is unsatisfactory.

Ambience- Very Good and cleanly
Food Quality - Good
Service - Quite Slow

We ordered Veg platter and soup in starter and paneer chingari in main course for veg. In nonveg we had mutton kolhapuri with less pieces and more gravy. Will recommend not to order this dish.

They serve only wheat roti.

We had enjoyed our family time. Veg food test is amazing. They have lot of Starter and main course dish variety. Paneer Chingari has one of the best dishes I had in near time. Mojito and milk shake are also gives enjoy to your testbeds. Rates are competitive. Outdoor restaurant has good atmosphere. Have a small children play area. Space for parking is also good. Recommend for small get-together and bday too.

They serve Frozen chicken.. Yes FROZEN CHICKEN ,Which has a rotten pungent taste. Taste wise nothing much to write about.. it's more or less what you get everywhere in Kolhapur.. but Frozen chicken.. that too on the verge of Rottening.. that's a Shame !

Best food and service. Must try Mutton lonche and mutton kharada. Veg food also very tasty. Tambada pandhara rass was awesome.

A1 top class authentic taste. Very fresh masalas and ingredients. We had surmai fry, mutton thali, and chicken thali. All were too good. Very happy with the experience.

One of the best restaurant in Kolhapur to taste the authentic Tambda Pandhara. I had Mutton thali with Mutton Kharda. It was yummy ! Not too spicy .. and perfect flavor and spice level you want to experience. Pandhara rassa was mind blowing. Thanks to Mr. NARENDRA who was polite and welcomed us in enthusiastic way. Great food and great ambience !

Nice place for family as well as for individuals. Service is quick and humble. Ambience is calm and clean. Food quality is also good. I ordered mutton fry mini thali. Tambda and padhra rassa are tasty but the mutton was half cooked. Otherwise the place is nice and placed in calm but prime area.

Good taste. Slow service. Ambience is very good. Overall good hotel to visit with family. Bit expensive compared to taste and quantity.

Good place for meat lovers. Thali as well as separate dish available. Chicken and Mutton was amazing. Huge quantity and reasonable price. Thambda and Pandhara rassa was impressive.

Butter chicken here was also great

Wao! Had an amazing lunch today at Pahunchar Restaurant, Kolhapur. This place serves crazy Non veg thalis and a la Carta menu.
The food is being prepared at owners home and served at the restaurant. You can simply add home prepared menu advantage ,when you visit this restaurant.
It has a bar in the ground floor and restaurant at first floor. The restaurant is neat,clean, hygienically good and awesome for family get together.The personal touch of the manager and staff is evident,while serving food to the customer. The wash room was clean and tidy.
The food quality was outstanding.
A must visit place for an awesome Kolhapuri Non vegetarian food.
