What to eat?

Get started with appetizers and try the a delicious savory crisp snack made with gram flour (besan), coriander leaves and spices, a classic Maharashtrian dish that goes perfectly as a starter to your meal. At Wah Marathi it comes along with a tongue-numbing green chilli thecha that goes perfectly well with the wadis. You can opt for either steamed wadi or deep fried ones as per your preference

Next up you can check out the Thalipeeth that comes along with sweet curd. Made with a blend of various grains powdered together and dry roasted, it is then spiked with onions, coriander & chillies. The dough is then flattened out with the hand to form these amazing savory multigrain pancakes.

If you are a non-vegetarian try the Chicken Sukka Masala, a dry and spicy preparation with authentic maharashtrian masalas that comes well recommended with the in house rassas – the tamda and pandhra rassas.

Another one for the meat lovers with a spicy, garlicky hit is the Chicken Jhanjibari. #HighlyRecommended

Move over to the Main Course

You can move on to the main course main course includes Bharli Vangi which is Maharashtra’s version of stuffed small brinjals in a flavourful and fragrant gravy. The thick and creamy gravy goes very well with the bhakris and chapati

The Patwadi Rassa from the Vidharba region is again a #MustTry dish here. Thin slices of gram flour patwadi in a spicy red gravy/ rassa. This was the first time I was having this dish and I kind of fell in love with this one.

For the non vegetarian lovers, you have to try their Chicken Hirva Masala, that is chicken cooked with a blend of fresh coriander and mint with a hint of green chilly.

The Saoji Mutton – A Maharashtrian speciality and is very popular in the Vidharbha district – very flavourful and irresistible is #HighlyRecommended. Traditionally is preparation is very spicy and may not suit everyone’s palate. Wah Marathi serves a toned down version of this dish with all the flavors intact. Well cooked Mutton that I polished off with Bhakris. Wash all that down with the soothing Soul Kadhi

Finish off your meal with sitaphal rabdi…
