On the Expressway between Mumbai-Pune and Mumbai-Mahabaleshwar

The expressway is common to both routes and there are two good food courts that we recommend:

  1. When traveling from Pune or Mahabaleshwar to Mumbai: Express Grand Cube Mall: https://g.co/kgs/6trJVhJ
    This food court has a large parking lot and almost all major American fast food chains including a KFC, McDonalds, Starbucks etc. and many other Indian food chains.

  2. When traveling from Mumbai to Pune or Mahabaleshwar: The Foodway: https://g.co/kgs/mR2Kw7Q
    This is a smaller food court but has some American fast food chains along with some local Indian food chains.

In the hills of Mahabaleshwar enroute to the Evershine Resort or on your way back

Most Indian tourists make a stop for pizza, sandwiches and strawberry delicacies at the Mapro Garden on their way to and back from the Mahabaleshwar town:

Eating in Pune

Pune has a lot of culinary options from Maharashtrian, pan-Indian, Indian fusion and global cuisine. We are recommending food places that would be close to Residency Club as well as close to the places that you would be shopping at.

Important Points:

  • A decent meal with 2-3 courses can be had at any mid-range restaurant in India for INR 500 to 1000 per person.

  • A fancy meal like an unlimited buffet at a slightly higher range restaurant can be between INR 1000 - INR 2000 per person.

  • A very elaborate meal at a 5-star restaurant with more than 3 courses can be anywhere between INR 2000 - INR 5000 or upwards per person.

  • All restaurants in India serve a vast vegetarian menu irrespective of cuisine.

  • Always order bottled mineral water to prevent stomach bugs.

  • Check the places online for their prices.
