I Had Lunch/Dinner At These Recommended Places to Eat in Trimbakeshwar

• • Maharashtra, Nashik • Tags:

I question the reception guy at Hotel Tulsi Inn – Which are the best places to eat in Trimbakeshwar?

He replied: If you are looking for a good unlimited homemade Gujarati Thali for lunch/dinner, do visit Ambika Bhojnalaya located nearby Uttar Maha Dwar, Trimbakeshwar Temple. They are economical and worth the money. Only Rs. 100 per thali. One of the most recommended restaurants in Trimbakeshwar.

Or,

You may visit Pangat Bhojanalaya – one of the oldest located in Teli Gali, Trimbakeshwar.

I went to Ambika Bhojnalaya for dinner. 44 years (since 1978) and continuing. The service was good. The food was hot and tasted good. Pure Gujarati Style Unlimited Thali. One of the best places in Trimbakeshwar to have food without onion and garlic. And it was of medium spice. Must visit at least once if you are in Trimbakeshwar. Ambika Bhojnalaya is a good restaurant in a prime location.

Timings: 11:30 am – 3:30 pm (Lunch) and 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm (Dinner).

On another day, for dinner, I planned to go to Pangat Bhojanalaya located at Teli Gali in Trimbakeshwar.

Again one of the rarest places in Trimbakeshwar where one can have sattvic home-cooked food without onion and garlic. They serve the most delicious unlimited authentic Maharashtrian vegetarian food at a rate of Rs. 80 per thali. One has to sit on the ground to have food. The owner of the restaurant is quite polite and was checking each and every person. They will serve food like a family get-together. My personal experience has been very good. It is run by an elderly couple, with mostly women working as support. I highly recommend Pangat Bhojanalaya. A must-visit place to know the traditional way of Maharashtrian Thali.

Timings: 7:00 pm onwards.

Apart from the above two places, I also went to Akhil Bhartiya Shri Swami Samarth Gurupeeth to receive Maha Prasad in the afternoon hours. Anyone may come and have Maha Prasad.

Cost: Rs. 30 per Coupon for Unlimited Maha Prasad.

Akhil Bhartiya Shri Swami Samarth Gurupeeth is a little far from Trimbakeshwar town. You will have to hire an auto.

Timings: 11:00 am – 5:00 pm / 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Thus, these are the recommended places to eat in Trimbakeshwar where I had lunch/dinner. I am happy with the recommendation. And not to forget the best breakfast in Trimbakeshwar – Suresh below Lokhandwala Dharamshala nearby Uttar Maha Dwar, Trimbakeshwar Temple.
