Poona Guest House, Laxmi Road
10 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/pune11 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Poona Guest House on Laxmi Road is a favourite for homely Maharashtrian food. One diner singles out thalipeeth, varan bhaat and puranpoli; another praises the aamras thali after repeat visits during the season. A different commenter likes the food's familiar, nostalgic character. The clearest criticism comes from a diner who found the special thali too sweet and insufficiently spicy. Not to be confused with New Poona Boarding House in Sadashiv Peth.
