The place is a vegetarians delight. They serve authentic food with respect to the cuisine on offer. The staff and chef is extremely courteous, friendly and polite. The ambience is classy! Its a must visit place.

This is an amazing experience. A must-do if youre ever near by. So so good.

It was an awesome experience and food was delicious. It is a must go place for vegetarians. Unfortunately it is closed due to pandemic as of now.

What a lovely experience that felt just like dining at a friends place! I personally enjoyed the comforting hospitality- It wasnt an intimidating experience one would expect at a star property. Everyone was smiling around, stopping by to talk about the food, laugh at a joke, make a suggestion...I think its this warm hospitality that really puts you at ease! Brownie points to Chef Bhuralal for sharing interesting travel tales and life lessons with us. Hes a happy, hard working face Im not going to forget for life ❣️Plus the quality of food is so good, we stuffed ourselves but didnt feel uncomfortable 🤤 Speaking of food, please do not leave without having the dahi vada and dal baati churma - its a royal feast served to you with the familiarity of home style cooking.

A thaal that was royal and served with goodness of silver was a complete meal in itself. Royal vegetarian food served from four corners of India was a treat to my pallet.From a warm greeting to a great hospitality, its nothing less than royalty that you experience in Punes only purest vegetarian cuisine world called Shakahari.Here is all that was served and trust me ut just got royal with each moment...COLD APPETIZER1.Dahi balla2.Sandwich Dhokla3.Matki SaladHOT APPETIZER1.Yaam ke kebab2.chane ki tikki3.Zafrani PaneerTikkaBATI OF THE DAY1.Masala bati2.choorma3.Dal punchmellaMAIN COURSE1.Sarson daa saag2.Jinga posto3.Khazane lazeez4.Urali rostRICE1.Subz dum beriyani2.Steamd rice3.Mirch kaa salan4.DalSWEETS1. Kadambari2. Gajar kaa halwa..So amongst all its difficult to choose what was the best but the very fact that it was a hospitality by Shakahari..The kebab made of chana dal was delicious soft and so well cooked. For a while I almost thought its mutton galawati Kebab but this Kashmiri style kebab made of chana was delicious..Yam ka Kebab was next which was just delicious and the best was Dal bati choorma ...so delicious so fresh and was full of traditional authentic taste...If vegetarian cuisine is your choice and royalty is your style then Shakahari surely should be your choice...

A very tasteful (and not spicy) veg rest

Good quality food with thali system.Deserrs are excellentPrice is very high as compared to dishes provided.Staff is co-operative and friendly.Location of the hotel is good.

Ambience was awsome. We went for team lunch. The items served were very very slow, I did not find my plate any time full. Thali was big but did not sereved fast enough for thali restaurant. Even asked repeatedly for wheat roati, paneer tikka or subji but they did not get those also. Sweet served were in very Lees quantities e.g. Only single gulab jamun find in photo attached. Not recommend to anybody if you are spending more than Rs 1000.

Before starting with my review, Id like to say that dining at Shakahari is more of a Royal experience and is something which I would highly recommend to everyone reading this review.Now lets get started.Shakahari, as the name suggests, is a pure vegetarian fine dine Indian restaurant. The hostess greets you with a smile before sprinkling rose water on you. Rose water is an essential part to welcome guests royally. As I entered, the first thing that came to my notice was the plush sofas, the elegant maroon curtains and the overall ambiance which makes you feel as if you have entered a modern royal palace.Coming to the food, Maharaj Jai Kishen, and Chef de Cuisine Gaurav lavishly craft the menu, and it changes every two months. For my table, I had a mix of Punjabi and Gujarati cuisine. After settling down, a big silver plate arrived and seeing the size of the plate I knew I was in for a huge treat. Now the real show starts where there are a host of servers coming over and serving you an array of dishes. Beginning the royal meal with the assortment of delicious cold and hot appetizers, out of which I loved the Handvo which is a Gujarati lentil cake served with green chutney and Subz ki Shammi which is a pan-fried vegetable kebab having a subtle flavor of cinnamon and cardamom.The mains are something like a never-ending flow of delicious food on your plate. Dal Baati Churma with ghee is something you should never skip when you visit Shakahari. I was overwhelmed as it tasted similar to the one prepared by my mom. Another homely dish was the Gujarathi Kadhi, a light, flavorful curry which I prefer drinking directly from the bowl. Kaju Batata Rassa had tender, soft potatoes with cashew in a tangy red gravy. I also liked the Val Muthia Nu Shaak which is regularly prepared at Gujarathi households. It is a delectable preparation of red tomato based curry with field beans, fenugreek, and gram flour dumplings.There were hot puris, Amritsari kulchas, and bajra no rotla to go with the curries.I was also served Tarkari Kichdi which is universal comfort food and goes amazingly well with the dal or kadhi. Ps. do not forget to add ghee to it.And yes! There is Aamras too for all the Mango-heads out there!After I got done with the heavy food, it was time for desserts. Shakahari has a dedicated desserts room called as the Mishtan Bhandar which is a literal translation to Sweets Repository. There are around 30 types of desserts awaiting to get devoured. Their kulfis are prepared in-house and served as kulfi falooda which cannot be missed.Your meal is not complete there. The final element is their Paan which also acts as a mukhvas.To sum it up as I mentioned at the start that dining at Shakahari is a Royal Experience which will keep bringing you back for more. The hospitality by Restaurant Manager Mr. Partha and his team is a cherry on top. Special mention to Mr. Vinod who took care of our table and made sure our plates were always full of delicious food.

Looking at the thali pic literally waters my mouth as the soul satisfying taste still lingers :-)One of the most delicious curries I have ever tried...Paneer from kadai paneer just melted in my mouth and the Saag Mangolia(green curry in thali) felt sooo subtle as if it had more soul than physical! Veg pulao is something that deserves special mention...every grain of cooked rice was flavoured with utmost attention and detail! I can go on for almost every item in the thali :-)Three course meal served in the format of Thali - ALL UNLIMITED so you can choose where you want to indulge more. Thali combines the flavours from different states of India - Maharashtra (masala matki, Shrikhand etc.), Rajasthani (Dal bati churama, kadi), Gujarati (dhokala etc.), Punjabi (Kadai paneer, saag etc.) There is a separate dessert room but I had no room left in my tummy by that time...though couldn’t resist my favourite Shrikhand which tasted like home made!About the service - I felt the service was bit slow noting that staff would generally wait after serving starters as it’s a 3 course meal. I had to ask them to serve all 3 courses together however still felt service was slow as some of the guests had to wait. Hence 4 stars instead of 5. Having said that, staff is very friendly and the head chef Mr. Buralal made sure to give us a visit and was happy to pose for some pictures with the Family. Also gave me some tips on how to make yummy Shrikhand :-)We were celebrating my Sons 6th bday and overall it was a great experience! Definitely worth the price!If you live to eat and are vegetarian then you must visit this place at least once!

Very Good Vegetarian hotel. Lots of varieties served in Thali from Starters to Desserts. All items are freshly prepared with delicious test. Very Hygienic. Staff is very excellent. Worth to visit along with family and friends.

Vegetarian FoodExcellency in serviceCourteous staffLovely ambienceSpecious place to sit and relaxMitthan Bandar has lots of sweet mouthwatering varieties .Its thali system with variety of special food north South East west like dal batti churma , Shevbhaji, kadhipakoda ...The menu is changed every week .The cost of thali per person is 1500 with taxes for adult and 750 for Kids up to 11 yr oldStrongly recommend must visit .Small suggestion for Sakhari administrator about music .

Amazing food. Amazing ambience. Lovely staff. Looking forward to have dinner again. 😘😍🇮🇳🤘❤️❤️❤️

Amazing ambiance, supple food excellent service what more do you need to put this in your bucket list. Oh one more deliciously rich traditional indian deserts.

Awesome ambiance! Good staff ! Good taste !

I went here for Sunday dinner , At that time it was Rajasthani and Gujarati festival going on , they have different food festivals with specialty of different state ,typically authentic taste of Indian food . If you’re looking for perfect Indian cuisine then this is the place for you , their starters, desserts and main course is sooo osm . Along wth the taste they have very beautiful ambiance, plates are very beautifully decorated. Also there service is dry prompt . Also you will get a iced tea as a compliment. Must try for Indian cuisine lovers

A Pure Veg Delight on S B Road, They are so good at authentic taste..just loved the way they treat you..every foodie should feel like a king here..great hospitality and amazing food range ..never disappoints you...

It’s a good thing thing that a vegetarian only restaurant serves alcohol as well otherwise I would have died of boredom. Was accompanying couple of vegetarian guests and luckily my drinks was sorted vis a vis a nice house wine. Not really fussy when it comes to red wine so I was cool. The furnishings is top notch and luckily we were the only when ones as the place had just opened up for business around 12:30pm so service was superb before the rush came in.-- A drop of ink may make a million think.Pawan Manghnani

Pure veg restaurant. You will find variety of food here. Cooperative staff. They prefer thali system. 1400 rs cost per thali. You can have variety of sweets and dry fruits there.

I went to Shakahari Restaurant for Sunday lunch with my family. The ambiance of this place is very good. You can notice that modern & flashy colours is mostly used & that creates an overall good ambiance of this restaurant.About food and starters, it was a Southern Special week, so most of the spread was from South India. I had started with Rasam & Makai Sorba. They both were good and set the mood for luxurious buffet lunch on Sunday. Then we were served almost 7 to 8 starters like Crispy Babycorn, Dal Vada, Mushroom Kebab, Paneer Kebab etc. I liked Dal Vada, Mushroom Kebab & Crispy Babycorn. Along with the starters we were served Ice Tea which was going quite well with the starters.In the main course we had ordered Dal Makhni, Subz Panchmel, Dal Batti-Churma, & assorted breads that include Tandoori Roti, Nan, Laccha Parantha & Missi roti. They food quantity they served in main course is too much, please make a note & order accordingly, otherwise there will be too much of food waste which could affect your overall experience (as it was my case)! The main course was also tasty, especially Dal Makhni & Subz Panchmel! Churma was also good. The only disappointment in the main course was Dal Batti. As the Batti was not properly fried and the Dal they served was actually Dal Fry which is not authentically served with Batti! Generally the Dal which comes with Batti is mixed about 4 to 5 different pulses.About Dessert, it was a huge spread again almost 20 items would be there. After having filling starters & main course, there were less scope for us to go for dessert. But I tried a few of them and I liked Rasgolla very much. It was soft & immediately melted. One of the best Rasgolla I have ever had in Pune. I also tasted Chocolate Ice cream, it had a strong flavour of Chocolate which somehow deteriorating the taste of the ice cream.Overall food was good, you have to have a big appetite! Service was good (even though the restaurant was full of guests) & staff were quite courteous.Cost wise, its on the high side, but sometimes you can treat yourself!

A restaurant having a really attractive ambience ✨⚫place :-located on first floor of JW Marriott , perfect atmosphere for having dinner with your family. The architecture has been done excellent and is pleasing.Plus you get to see a live kitchen. The lights are dim , could have been little bit more brighter.⚫ seating arrangement & cutlery :-Sofas are comfy but the chairs arent .Furniture is amazing and matches to the hotel and name too .Coming to cutlery , spoons , forks , plates , bowls, glasses , are all made of silver which is very good for our health. The presentation of all these is very attractive which is kept on the table including the napkin fold.⚫food :-A pure vegetarian restaurant having a number of food varieties and menus including live kitchen.I wont prefer you to come here and spend thousands on food here... because the food is not tasty as youll expect when you go in such luxury restaurant. The price for food isnt worth the taste.Ill instead suggest to go to Alto vino or paasha which is much more better.⚫staff :-The staff here is very polite and helpful and have a good knowledge of everything served in this restaurant..Overall you must visit once to see the ambience and have a experience of the shaahi restaurant.❤️

Mr Abhishek from shakahari and Chef Mukesh were great hosts. Extremely happy and satisfied with the way they interacted with us, explained the menu and served graciously . I do recommend shakahari for family dinner and do indulge into the warm atmosphere. Highly recommend.

5 star, all veg restaurant. Service was fantastic!

What a great all Veg place this is.The appetizers both cold and hot were awesome and here main course is not the mains but in fact prelims.The House of desserts that follows after the main course with more than a dozen variety of desserts was the real crown.

Good place,good ambience...#shakahari #jwmarriott Paneer chilli dry... Try out once... It comes with great taste, aroma with healthy food combination... Source of rich protein... #paneerlove #cottagecheese #cottagecheesechilly #jwmarriott #senapatibapatroad #punekar #googlelocalguide7

For the price its just ok

An awesome experience on the eve of valentines day...A perfect candle light dinner to have with your loved ones... The arrangements were perfect, the food was ok, little less variety but that was fine. Good to go anytime.Veg specials - shakahari

Starter are mind blowing with various options , the sitting arrangement and infrastructure is best and many sweets options, gulag jamuns are mind blowing

Excellent ambiance with selected veg options.The interior is beautiful and instrumental music sooth you. If you are lucky you may see few celebrities beside your table.Buffet is available for lunch, however overall service is slow and not up to the mark as compare to the brand.Obviously you dont check the price when you are going for such places but ₹1300+ taxes for average quality lunch is bit at higher side.

Went to have lunch. Was a buffet with a good spread. Ambience is good. The food was tasty. Though on the higher side of the price around 1300 you are paying for having a polished lunch dinner in a sophisticated place. They have circular seating arrangements for a larger group which makes for a good get-together where you can talk without shouting across a horizontal table and craning your neck to do it! There is valet parking as it is in the Marriott building. The restaurant is on the 1st floor.

Awesome for veg lovers

Vegan all the way...JW Mariott Pune, Guys after enjoying Pasha, Jw Marriott Pune Ive decided to try all your restaurants with my family & friends. So we tried Shakahari today.Starting with chana, dahi bhalla along with pappad, chutney and achar was delightful and different. However the choice of main course fell completely out of line and being a vegetarian ex Hotelier foodoholic I could say that with experience. Plus the matar in paneer matar was partially cooked and lacked that punchy taste it is famous for (its cant be creamy). Dum aloo was ok but could be perfected. Ive had aloo poshto but loki poshto was something new today. Dal in dal bati churma was great. Panchratna dal was tasteless.Oh, and everything they served us was cold and lost its taste further! Most Indian dishes are served hot - usually at the temp we recommend for soup.I wish hostess had told me about amazing choices you had in the dessert section before we started! Full marks for all the options and display, especially the lechi thingy but zero marks for gajar halwa (its not supposed to be so dry and khoya is not added separately in cooked gajars - instead cook gajar it in the milk until milk itself turns into danedar khoya and no Nestle milk maidplease) and gulabjamun (its outer crust was burnt and hence turned bitter)

If you are a food lover and looking for Rajasthani and Gujarati authentic dishes, please do visit this restaurant once.There is thali system in this restaurant and they serve variety of Rajasthani and Gujarati dishes.Number of desert options too.I love Dal batti and Chole puri specially.

Awesome vegetarian food here

Please improve food quality ,sweet dish are awesome

Excellent experience. Best place . Too good service and hospitality.Food taste is awesome. The taste of food is really good and service is really nice.

Very nice restaurant for vegetarians. Many options are served along with multiple pure veg desserts. The staff is very courteous.. they also prepared completely different set of all food items for our overseas clients

Pure vegetarian thali restaurant at JW Marriott. Beautiful Decor. Great Hospitality. Food can do with more variety though. If only they would change the menu at regular intervals.

This has the most enticing place to be in the evening and almost on the top of Pune with glittering lights all around and the nice drinks with hot sizzlers and starters.👍👍👍We had official get together with colleagues quite often and enjoyed the weekends. I loved this place due to its surrounding and food quality.👌👌👌

Ambiance:Spacious location, nice and relaxing feeling while dining and enough seating room. Lighting is a little dim but doesnt disturb the mood.Food:Good food and taste well. Adequate quantity. Cost on a little higher side.

An amazing and a must have experience. An elegant and beautiful dining experience thanks to the amazing and authentic decor.The food is beyond amazing. They provide a wide range of starters, main course and even desert. They take care of your food allergies as well.It is a beautiful dining experience I would never forget.

The best thali food. It is worth it. Please note dont eat main course a lot they have a room full of amazing desserts (literally room is full) the staff is courteous and friendly.

Excellent experience. Best place . Too good service and hospitality.Food taste is awesome.

Royal Dinner in Royal way...go for it...

Excellent vegetarian cuisine. Amazing chefs!! Bhuralal and Akshay came out to greet us and discuss what we liked and disliked from the meal course. They took special care of our needs and even prepared a dish out of band to make it a truly memorable evening!

Service is very very slow.. Food taste is also ok..The only good point was we had a foreigner with us and they made completely non spicy food for him.. nice gesture

Nice food

Great food. Great service. Great ambience. Overall a fantastic place to spend te with friends and family. They keep changing their menu and everytime it is awesome! If you want something not on the menu, you can tell the chef and he can make it for you if possible!

Some of the best Indian food I have ever had. Excellent hospitality and service by the staff. We went for my moms birthday and the staff went out of their way to make it special for her. I strongly recommend this place especially for special occasions.

Mildly spicy, aromatic authentic Indian vegetarian food. Pricey but definitely savoury. Watch for the dessert self service room.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Everything tasted so great. It is nice to go somewhere that is full Vegetarian and fine dining.

Excellent restaurant with Indian cuisine in a fabulous decor and a very welcoming staff. I warmly recommend this restaurant if you have something to celebrate or if you just want ti treat yourself or your loved ones.

Great service but food didnt impress me much. Have had more delicious good in much smaller/cheaper places.

Its fine, hygienic, food tastes is also fine, good service. In Dessert section their are lots of chooses for it. One time visit.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Shakahari is the place where you will be treated and served like a king. Ambiance is also good.

Good option

Good Service. Good number of Dessert varieties. Starters could have been better.

If you want royal feel this place will definitely please you! Mild food and great place!

Nice place to buy, cheap and decent kolhapuri chappals

Nice place to visit, Tasty food and great service. Great ambiance.

We went for dinner last week. To be honest, this is a highly over priced thali considering they provide only 4-5 starters, 4 vegetables, dal-bati, 2 types of rice, 2 types of dal and 6 Indian sweets. Ice-Cream and fruits are not considered as desserts especially when you charge 1400++If you look at other Thali places in Pune, they have ample options at a fraction of the cost. And they also have better taste.You could also try training your staff to be a little more giving in their service. They were reluctant to serve and this is not how you treat guests.I would rather spend my money on more palatable and friendly options for thali in a big city like Pune

An overrated place. Food was average, services were very pathetic and managers attitude was not good. I will not recommend this place to anyone.

Attention to details, personalized and heart warming service.Special thanks to Abhishek

Any hotel doesnt get an honor of Five stars, just like that. There has to be that ambiance, that style backed with sophistication, that aroma and mouth watering food. Only then you deserve to be the part of excellence and uniqueness. J.W. Marriott, Pune engulfs this restaurant and it truly appreciates to be the part. On my first visit to this restaurant with my family, I had a great end to my day. The crew was excellent, the food served to us was excellent and the ambiance amazingly excellent. I just loved the place and do recommend a visit to this restaurant and taste the blend of cuisines they serve.

My bday celebration was here n its was simply great. My first bday after wedding was made so spl

One of the top 3 restaurants in Pune, Shakahari is the place where youll be treated and served like a king!The interior is very ambient with a calm and cosy atmosphere. The setting is top notch with exactly the right amount of dazzle and decoration.They serve food with great variety both delicious and fulfilling. The service tops all of this with an extremely polite and respectful staff. It is hands down, recommended!

Nice Decor Poor service Not worth 12k for five

Ambience : 5/5Staff : 5/5Taste: 3/5Food Options: 4/5I find taste could have been better.The desserts and salads seems very normal, they could have been better considering the price and place . Overall a good place to visit.

The starters are Mind Blowing, with a huge variety of Salads . And by huge I mean Huge. The food is Authentic with a large variety of South Eastern Asian options. You get the taste of the actual food rather then the Masalas . The deserts were rather bland though. The staff is friendly and helpful. The ambiance is perfect. Overall its a great experience and I would recommend it, unless you can only eat spicy stuff .........

Slow service and not people are not in mood to serve u. Taste is good.. With good ambience.

Great experience is what you get here. If you want great taste, then there are other places as well... But experience is what is served here

Ambiance good. Slow sservice. Food taste ok type. Below expectations!

Whenever my friends from overseas visit, i try taking them here. All of them loved this Indian 5-star experience!

Food was good but what we disliked about it is that they showed menu but served different item. The worst part is that menu mentioned about Misthan bandaar offering variety of sweets but when asked they said thats only for dinner and lunch had 3 fixed desserts. They should have separate menu or should mention it clearly. We specifically visited place for misthan bandaar on a special occasion. A shouting No from me for this place. Never expected such behavior.

Excellent vegetarian food!! With lots of variety and excellent service. Desert options are awesome!!

Great place, very tasty food, a real treat with royal experience for vegetarians.Serving sizes are small, but Thali is unlimited so one could repeat by choice. Its a very thoughtful mix of various regions pan India so everyone is most likely to have something of interest. My most favourite treat was to visit the Dessert room, which had lots of options in Dessert hot & cold as well as many fruit options fulll & cut ones.One has to perhaps visit this place when really hungry and with lot of time in hand to really do justice and taste all the offerings.

Visited from Sydney AUS in Feb 2018 and experience was amazing! Great food, great ambience and service. Treated like royalty and loved the dessert room!

Great menu choice and awesome taste.. Perfect place for family dinner or celebration

Its a good place for pure veg food 5 star restaurant 🌾🌿

Ambience is great. Service is superb and food is good 👌

A journey through the different foods of India. Truly an experience that you will remember. Very good food and vine

This has been our 4th visit.. n surely this place will never fail you... ofcourse it is for vegetarian spread only.. true to its name..It has perfectly done elegant ambience with dark wood but bright upholstery..The crockery used is unique in shape n is of mixed metal..They only have thali system here however with slight varied tastes.. thewlis influenced mostly by rajasthan.. gujarat n Punjab..The starters itself is yumm.. right from kebabs to chaat.. n u wld be tempted to repeat n have more but behold lots of food is awaited.. n in case u hv even little interest in rajasthani food.. MUST try daal baati n daal choorma.. it is specially prepared by an expert chef.. n dont repeat your servings unless you do not want to try more..This is followed by other main course of vegetable and indian breads spread..There r many mocktails you can choose from to accompany your food.. however wld suggest to go light on mocktails.. can try kokam which wld compliment the food rather than making it heavy..N by this time u r sure to be full.. but behold the mithai room is awaited.. u better reserve some space for this.. they have variety of spread on sweets.. right from fresh bengali sweets.. to traditional ladoos..multi n ice cream.. dessert room is nothing short of a meal in itself.. n hv never been able to do complete justice to this after the meal.. but surely not to miss..N last but not the least.. pick the paan before u leave.. it is sumptuous meal..With happy people serving you!

Finished our conference at JWM and headed to Shakahari for a quiet dinner by myself. Fantastic experience. I am allergic to certain foods, so they were careful not to give me that. The service was exemplary, The staff were really amazing, caring and cheerful. There is a room exclusively for desserts, the chef had come to recommend the desserts. I ended speding about 2 hours at the restaurant. Overall my review would be as follows:Ambience - 5 starsFood - 4 stars, but 5 Stars for DessertStaff - Definitely 5 Stars

Over Hyped.. i had heard great reviews and hence had great expectations.. and so booked a party of 7 for a birthday lunch.. Was sorely disappointed.. the food was mediocre.. very poor and small selection of starters and main course.. too little variety.. The Daal Batti and Dahi wada were great.. and so was the choice in sweets.Even the service was below par.. though i paid full price.. this small choice in food and bad service could have been due to the Axis Bank half price promo being conducted during the same period..Only thing Royal besides the menu, was the Silver Thali and the Price...

Fantastic vegetarian food excellent spread polite people courteous service

Shakahari is very nice restaurant very calm place service staff kitchen staff is also very good and they have dessert room which really really good and you can eat there so many desserts and food is also good and its very hygienic

Been to Shakahari some 12-13 times. It used to be quite good earlier. But since they have changed to thali system, it has been a total nightmare. Starters & main course have no taste left in them. Half cooked food & breads. Dal makhani has too much of butter these days. Seems like master chef has changed & so is the quality. No exclusiveness in the food.Deserts are still good but fewer in number as compared previously. In short, lavishness of the food has gone down the drain.

Food was good but service too too slow.

Yesterday myself and family members planned to have dinner at JW MARRIOTT - SHAKAHARI. But unfortunately it was a bad experience with me while there was a “Big Long Hair” came in my bite.We have updated the same to restuarant manager.In Shakahari you have many options to eat but after get a Hair in your meal that to in a 5 star Hotel it disappointed me a lot.Date : 13.09.2019 Friday Evening.

Food was tasty and good...Service was nice...
