If you think South Indian cuisine is all about idli, dosas, vadas, you are absolutely wrong. There is a lot more to it and nobody does it better than Savya Rasa in Pune. Situated in Koregaon Park, it is considered as one of India's top 50 restaurants. From Malabari, Nellori, Chettinad, Kongu Nadu, Mysuru, Nasrani, Mangalorean etc, savour authentic delicacies from this discovery restaurant that will remind you of food from traditional kitchens.
Having spent years researching and discovering the authentic dishes from all the Southern regions, they serve some unique age-old recipes that are made with authentic spices. They are introducing some authentic new dishes and we had a ball of a time taking a culinary trip to Southern India. Not to forget, their one-of-a-kind tablet menu which has textual and video description of dishes, making it easier for you to choose. These tablets also have filters wherein you can mention about your veg/non-veg preference as well as allergies.
The decor is classically traditional, the place is done up really well with old-style wooden furniture, gigantic folk paintings from South India and coloured glass depicting paintings from mythology. They also have many private dining sections, which are ideal for large groups. The place also has metal decor and utensils, specially brought from the south. We bet you'll enjoy eating from their signature banana leaf-shaped metal plate.
After sipping on the delicious rassam and sago pappadum, we tried their appetisers- chicken ghee roast, paneer ghee roast, Chutney paniyaram (appes filled with chutney), ulli vada (onion vadas) and yeral varuval (prawns cooked with authentic spices). meat lovers, you will go crazy over narukattu gola urundai, which are basically minced mutton balls tied with a string, that are cooked in oodles of ghee and coconut. You have to untie the balls first to take a bite. The taste was heavenly and everything was made in pure ghee and spices.
For mains, we had three excellent dishes. The first dish was the classic veg mango curry that has raw mango cubes in coconut curry with hot appams. The second dish takes the trophy and is called Rameswaram pocket rice. We had the veg version which came wrapped in a banana leaf and comprised coconut milk rice, kaai saalana, vada and onion pakoda. The dish was the ultimate comfort food you could ask for. The third dish is the super delicious pottalam parotta, where the parotta is soaked in gravy and is eaten with onion pakodas and ghee-roast baby potatoes (chicken, in case of non-veg option).
End your meal with their signature badami halwa. For a wholesome, divine dining experience with your loved ones, we recommend you stop by. Do not miss the food festivals they host, which serve seasonal South Indian delights.
