After much adulation from colleagues, I revisited this place, but in a new location. R Bhagat Tarrachand isn’t new to me - I’ve visited this very old, pure vegetarian restaurant in the highly congested area in Mumbai’s Zaveri Bazaar and even the one that was situated near the Talegaon toll on the Expressway. The thalis here are more famous than anything else. In spite of that a visit to this place on Laxmi Road was a new experience for me. The interiors of the restaurant are the same as the previous one at that location. However, don’t confuse the interior with the name or the theme. The main purpose visiting this place must strictly be for the food and the taste. The menu is typical, but there is the catch — the preparations have a huge difference. The taste, quantity and preparation served at the prices they offer would mortify others who give away same named preparations using additives such as khoya or thick pastes. I always crib about this ‘typical’ taste which is served all over town. For instance, if you don’t have a tinge of tomato in your Paneer Kadhai, you’ll probably be eating that thick paste which only fills your stomach but doesn’t satisfy your palate. Here, you will find more paneer pieces perfectly coated with enough gravy to give out lip-smacking taste. They also have Chinese preparations of which the Manchow Soup and Paneer Chilli was really good. Paneer Tikka, Vegetable Korma, Sarson ka Saag and Veg Pulao is almost better than what you’d consider the best! The staff is efficient and courteous. Don’t miss another signature dish of theirs – a beer bottle filled with creamy and delicious chach (butter milk). Situated on the busiest street of Pune, I spotted more of a student crowd compared to family and couples enjoying the treat.
