As we are preparing to bid goodbye to 2018, let’s count some of the best experiences of the year. It could be Bengaluru’s famous Fly Dining concept, or a cafe in Navi Mumbai that’s run by Transgender employees and India has so many more experiences. Let’s talk about the best 5 –
1. Baahubali Thali – Pune
House Of Paratha at JM road serves the grand Baahubali Thali and it takes 5-6 people to finish it. There are a few famous locations in Pune for unlimited eating, but nothing beats this thali served at House Of Paratha. The Baahubali movie might be a feast for your eyes on the screen, but the thali is even better. It has Devasena Paratha, Kattapa Biryani, Sivagami Shaahi Pakwan, Bhalladeva Patiala Lassi, and the giant Baahubali Paratha that tops the list. The accompaniments include 5 types of farsan and fried snacks, 5 varieties of sweet dish, a drink or shake, salad, pickles, chutney and topped with 3 types of ice cream. It is served in a giant steel thali and you will have to wait at least an hour for your thali to be served to you. Or you can simply call the restaurant before arriving so that your order is prepared before you arrive.
