Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Visit early. Go early for lunch or avoid peak weekend periods, as reviews describe the restaurant becoming crowded and service slowing under pressure.

Check thali. Confirm which regional thali is being served before eating; one diner received Kolhapuri instead of the requested Malvani version.

The Bottom Line

Peshwa Restaurant in Al Karama is a Marathi dining spot for Maharashtrian thalis, regional seafood and vegetarian favourites. The strongest reason to consider it is the range of flavours that reviewers associate with home cooking: mutton Kolhapuri thali, fish thalis, Surmai fry, bhakri and solkadi all receive enthusiastic mentions. Vegetarian diners have also highlighted pitla bhakar, misal pav and puran poli.

The experience can feel distinctly Maharashtrian, with Marathi décor, a spacious room and food that some visitors say transported them to Pune, Mumbai or the Konkan. Solkadi is the recurring standout, though its quality has been inconsistent in a few visits. Mutton and seafood tend to attract more praise than the veg thali, while individual dishes such as chicken curry and biryani have received mixed feedback.

Come outside the busiest periods if you want attentive service: weekend crowds have been linked to delays, noise and staff struggling with larger groups. Parking around Al Karama is also difficult on weekends. 5-litre water bottle.

Check the thali details when ordering and allow time for parking.
