Parsi Da Dhaba Trip
Head to Talasari to eat at Parsi Da Dhaba, an iconic restaurant along the Maharashtra-Gujarat border. This is an easy drive, and we also like heading to the isolated Kurze Daam for a post-lunch snooze. Parsi Da Dhaba is best enjoyed on an empty stomach, so we usually opt for a very light breakfast. The two-and-a-half hour drive to Talasari is a straight one via the NH8. They operate between 7am and 11pm.
Crazy Crab Day Trip
The Crazy Crab Restaurant in Dahanu is worth our time. It’s a great drive which culminates in a sea-facing restaurant. The crab, obviously. The serve alcohol as well. Bonus: they have a pretty impressive vegetarian spread as well. A post-lunch visit to the Dahanu Beach is totally worth it. Dahanu is a two-and-a-half hour drive away along the picturesque Sahyadri mountain ranges. They operate between 11am and 4pm for lunch.
Konkan Food Odyssey
Explore the cuisines of Malvan, Sawantvadi and Kolhapur regions, try everything from fresh seafood to mutton cooked to spicy gravies. Hotel Opal, right off the highway, should definitely be your first stop. Solankis nearby is famous for the cold milk drinks. For typical Maharashtrian fare, we have the famous Shyam’s Vada Pav {call on +91 97304 01366} or the missal pav at Phadtare’s. Dinner is usually at the Padma Guest House, the restaurant of which has acquired local celebrity status.
