Food options on the Konkan stretch of Maharashtra





Some must have food (and names of restaurants) on the beautiful Konkan stretch.. Happy eating 🐟🐠🐓🍧🍹

1. Raj Lunch Home in Padel, 12 Kms before Vijaydurg Fort - good place for lunch. Must have Sol kadi and Fish thali. Don't forget to try the mango pulp sweet, too. 

2. Breakfast at Suruchi in Vijaydurg - Try the ghavn chatni (similar to Neer dosa), another traditional breakfast in Marathi houses. 

3. Lunch at Hotel Vishranti, approx 1.5 kms from Kankavli. Must try bhendi fry. Also good halt for clean Indian style washroom. 

4. Breakfast at Hotel Abhiruchi, off Kudal - Pinguli road - good for Poha (they say Pohe in Konkan). 

5.  Bhalekar Bhojnalaye on Sawantwadi Amboli road - another must halt for lunch/dinner. Try their thali and make sure you ask for a special pomfret fry, available in multiple sizes, which suits your tummy and pocket. Bhalekar Khanaval is also known as Mahalaxmi Bhojnalay in Sawantwadi. 

6.  Hotel Lemongrass - along with great stay, everything we had here was just 👌🏻- tandoori pomfret in white masala, paneer paratha. You have to try their deserts - Shai Tukda, Phirni, Seradura a traditional Portuguese pudding. We had 8 servings in 3 days, we could have kidnapped the chef. Also have their kesar lassi - trust me you will need a bed to sleep after that for sure, don't have it if you on the drive for sure 😴 

7. Gurukripa is a small eating joint in Malvan Market - famous for their yummy and gharhuti food. Their ghavne and chatni is the best we have ever had. Run by the Talvadekar family, the owner ensures to give you the best catch of the day. Although this is a small place, you will keep coming there everytime and will never be disappointed with their food and hospitality. We've been coming here for the last 6 years and our tummy keeps wanting for more. 

8. Just opposite Gurukripa Hotel is Yashree Cold Drinks and Ice Cream Parlor, also in Malvan market. You can't leave without having their Mango Mastani and flavored ice creams. 

9. Bhauchi Khanaval  is also a good place for fish in Kudal, off NH66 in Konkan Maharashtra. 

10. Tanavade's near Gavaldev in Kudal - good place for fish. 

11. Hotel Abhimanyu, Kudal - good place for fish. 

Another tip - always ask the local rickshaw wala for food options, we've never been disappointed with their recommendations so far.
