Our Story

About Thali & Co.

A Kolhapuri kitchen built on family recipes, honest ingredients, and the belief that a thali should feel like a homecoming.

Our Beginning

A family restaurant, built around one table

Thali & Co. Kolhapuri Kitchen started with a simple idea: bring the authentic Kolhapuri kitchen — the one where every household guards its own blend of spices — to a family restaurant in Sahakar Nagar, Pune.

We're not a big chain. We're a Maharashtrian restaurant run the way a Kolhapuri household runs its own kitchen — masalas ground fresh, rassa simmered slowly, and bhakri patted out to order. Every thali that leaves our kitchen is meant to taste like it came from someone's home in Kolhapur, because that's exactly where the recipes come from.

Authentic Kolhapuri Spices

What makes our food truly Kolhapuri

Kolhapuri cuisine is famous for its bold red masala and its balance of fire and comfort. Here's how we keep that tradition alive in every Kolhapuri thali we serve in Pune.

Kolhapuri Masala, Ground Fresh

Our signature Kolhapuri masala is what gives dishes like Kolhapuri chicken and Kolhapuri mutton their deep red colour and layered heat — made fresh, not bought off a shelf.

Tambda Rassa & Pandhra Rassa

Every non-veg thali is served with both rassas — the fiery red tambda rassa and the coconut-rich pandhra rassa — a Kolhapuri restaurant essential.

Jowar & Bajra Bhakri

Hand-patted jowar bhakri and bajra bhakri, cooked fresh to order — the traditional Maharashtrian bread that belongs on every thali.

The Finishing Touch

Solkadhi — Kolhapur's cooling classic

No Kolhapuri meal is complete without solkadhi — a chilled, pale-pink cooler made from coconut milk and kokum. After a spicy Kolhapuri mutton or Kolhapuri chicken thali, a glass of solkadhi is the traditional way to finish the meal, and it's always on our menu.

It's a small detail, but it's the kind of authentic touch that separates a real Kolhapuri restaurant from an imitation.
