Rao Shrigiri Savji Gharguti Khanaval

Rao Shrigiri Savji Gharguti Khanaval is tucked away in Sakhar Peth, Solapur. We are very close to the Sakhar Peth Police Chowky, so it is quite easy to find us if you are in that part of town. The word Gharguti means home-style, and that is exactly how we run things here. It is a small place, more like a kitchen that happens to have some tables for guests. We specialize in Savji food, which is known for being quite spicy and having a lot of flavor. My family has been cooking these recipes for a long time. We don't use those pre-made spice packets; we grind everything ourselves every morning. The smell of the masala usually fills the whole street by noon. Solapur 413005 can get really hot, but people still come in for the spicy curry. The floors are plain, and the walls don't have much on them, but we focus on the food more than the look of the place. It's usually just a few of us working here, making sure the bhakri is hot and the gravy is right. We get a lot of workers from the local shops and sometimes people coming from the police station nearby. It’s a noisy, busy little spot, but we like it that way. We just keep cooking and serving until the pots are empty at the end of the day. It is hard work, but seeing people finish their whole plate makes it worth it.
