Reviews summary: A basic restaurant by the Mulshi lake offering breathtaking views of Mulshi Lake during your meal. It’s highly rated for its authentic Marathi taste and warm service. Visitors love the early opening time (around sunrise), making it perfect for breakfast with a view. The ambiance is simple, but sitting by the lake while eating is the big draw. Being a pure veg place, some non-veg seekers skip it, but vegetarians and breakfast lovers rave about it. A few mention that the place can get busy at sunset.
Famous dishes: Vada Pav with adrakwali chai (ginger tea) is a must-try here for a true local experience. Also known for its mutton cutlets, a surprise hit even in a veg-focused menu.

4. Hotel Green Hills (Mulshi-Paud Road)

Approx. cost for two: ₹500-₹600 (moderate)
Alcohol: No (primarily a family restaurant)
Google Maps: View on Google Maps
Reviews summary: A highly-rated restaurant on Mulshi-Paud Road, often mentioned among the best restaurants in Mulshi for its consistency. It has a 4.2★ rating based on 400+ reviews, indicating customer satisfaction with quality and service. Diners describe it as a modest place that “punches above its weight” in taste.

There aren’t many complaints; at most, a few people wish for more ambiance since it’s a simple setup.
Famous dishes: Mix of cuisines available – known for veg and non-veg curries (the Chicken Thai curry and local Marathi chicken rassa both get mentions, showing its range). Also try their vada pav and batata bhaji if you want local flavor.

5. Saiba Hills (Near Mulshi Dam)

Approx. cost for two: ₹800-₹900 (full meal)
Alcohol: Likely no
Google Maps: View on Google Maps
Reviews summary: A scenic restaurant located near the Mulshi dam (Tata Power dam) – “the Mulshi dam gates can be seen from here” as one review highlights. Patrons love the mix of veg and non-veg dishes; many call the food “amazing and worth the stop”. It’s a clean, open-air setting praised for tasty North Indian and Chinese options; however, a couple of reviewers felt some dishes were average. Overall, it’s considered a must-visit by many driving to Tamhini.
Famous dishes: Their butter chicken and tandoori chicken are frequently ordered and loved. Also, the Manchow soup and crispy fries indicate their Indo-Chinese fare is good. Essentially, you get both dhaba-style Punjabi food and quick snacks here – perfect after enjoying the Mulshi dam view.

6. Vegetton (Vegetarian Café & Pizzeria)

Approx. cost for two: ₹300-₹400 (very budget-friendly)
Alcohol: No (100% vegetarian establishment)
Google Maps: View on Google Maps
Reviews summary: A quirky vegetarian café on Mulshi Road (Mangaon Khurd area) known for its unique interior decor and diverse vegetarian menu. It’s a newer spot with a smaller review count; current ratings around 3★ indicate mixed feedback. On the positive side, visitors enjoy the cleanliness and the fact it offers something different – it’s a vegetarian-only restaurant with fast food and North Indian options, which makes it stand out in an area dominated by dhabas. Many families stop here for the pizza and café vibe. Some reviews praise the taste and service, while a few others felt the food quality could improve.
Famous dishes: Wood-fired pizzas (surprising to find in Mulshi, but this cafe does them), cheesy paneer dishes, and a variety of beverages.

7. Hotel Garva (Authentic Marathi Cuisine)

Approx. cost for two: ₹900-₹1,500 (depends on veg vs non-veg dishes)
Alcohol: No (family restaurant)
Google Maps: View on Google Maps
Reviews summary: A local favorite on the way to Mulshi (Bhugaon, Paud Road), Hotel Garva is renowned for its traditional Maharashtrian cuisine and rural “wada” style ambiance. Walking in, you’ll notice the place designed like a Maharashtrian home with an open courtyard and pillars, giving a very homely feel. Reviews consistently praise the authentic taste of dishes – it feels like eating a home-cooked meal. The kala masala chicken curry and bhakri combo is a highlight that gives “manachi santushti” (satisfaction to the heart). With a menu covering everything from vada pav snacks to full thalis, this restaurant provides a true taste of Maharashtra’s culinary heritage. Service is warm, though at peak times it might slow down a bit due to everything being made fresh.
Famous dishes: Vada Pav and Puran Poli (sweet flatbread) are must-tries for vegetarian fare. Non-veg lovers should not miss the gavran chicken thali (country chicken curry) and mutton rassa. Their specialty is Marathi home-style cooking, so don’t expect fusion foods – stick to the local curries, bhakris, and rice plates for the best experience.

8. Hotel Swaraj Executive (Pirangut)

Approx. cost for two: ₹1,100 (without alcohol)
Alcohol: Yes – Serves alcohol
Google Maps: View on Google Maps
Reviews summary: A convenient stop in Pirangut (at Ghotawade Phata, the junction leading towards Mulshi), this is a family restaurant and bar popular with travelers and locals alike. It’s one of the few in the area where you can get a beer or cocktail, making it stand out among Mulshi eateries. Reviews mention it has a garden seating area and serves a wide range of North Indian and Mughlai dishes. With a 3.5★ average rating, customers find it a reliable choice for a substantial meal. Pros include large portion sizes, spicy North Indian curries, and the availability of both veg and non-veg. Some mixed feedback on service speed, but most agree it’s clean and the food hits the spot, especially if you’re arriving in Mulshi around lunch or dinner time.
Famous dishes: Butter Chicken and biryanis are popular orders here, as are the range of kebabs (reflecting the Mughlai menu) – think tandoori and tikka preparations. It’s also a go-to for people wanting a cold beer and snack; the paneer chilly and chicken crispy (Indian-Chinese appetizers) are frequently paired with drinks. If you’re after a sit-down meal with family or even a Mulshi road trip pit-stop with a beer, Swaraj Executive fits the bill.

9. Manisha Hotel (Samosa Bites at Male)

Approx. cost for two: ₹200-₹300 (snacks and tea for two)
Alcohol: No (tea and snacks cafe)
Google Maps: View on Google Maps
Reviews summary: This is a small local eatery near the village of Male (close to Mulshi Dam) that has gained popularity for its delicious snacks. It’s often just called “Manisha Hotel” or Samosa Bites, and it’s the kind of place you stop by when you smell fresh fritters being made! Travelers heading towards Tamhini Ghat love this no-frills spot for a quick bite. The setup is simple (an open-air stall with basic seating), but it’s clean and the service is quick. There aren’t many formal reviews online, but it’s locally known – you’ll likely see cars and bikes pulled over in the mornings and evenings.
Famous dishes: Sabudana Vada (crispy tapioca fritters) and samosas (hence the name Samosa Bites) are the stars – perfectly crispy and not overly oily. Also known for hot chai that pairs perfectly with the snacks. If you’re looking for a taste of local street food en route, this is the place to experience an authentic roadside snack in Mulshi.

10. The Chatai (Tamhini Ghat Road)

Approx. cost for two: ₹400 (budget eats)
Alcohol: No (dhaba-style eatery)
Google Maps: View on Google Maps
Reviews summary: “Chatai” means mat, and this rustic dhaba on Tamhini Ghat Road gives off a laid-back, picnic vibe. It’s essentially an open-air breakfast joint that has mats/charpais for seating, allowing you to enjoy the mountain air. Highly suitable for a morning stop, it opens early for trekkers and travelers. Regulars talk about the fresh home-style food and the simplicity that makes it charming. It’s rated around 4★ on local platforms, with people noting it as a hidden gem for breakfast on the ghat. As a Mulshi road restaurant it doesn’t get more authentic – you may even find the owner themselves serving you with a smile. Being on the ghat, there’s a lovely backdrop of hills while you eat.
Famous dishes: Misal Pav and kanda bhaji (onion fritters) are top picks here, especially on cool rainy mornings. They also serve poha, omelettes, and chai. Nothing fancy – just good old local breakfast items made tasty. Don’t forget to try their special chutneys that come with snacks; it’s the little touches like these that give The Chatai its good name among Mulshi regulars.
