Yummy and tasty to eat at Tulsi Baug !
The food served here is mostly Maharashtrian.
You will not forget the mesmerizing tasty samosa, kanda bhajiya, vada pav, spicy misal pav and desi ice cream.
Food corners like Kawre Ie Cream parlor (very famous since my childhood), Hotel Agatya and Krishna Bhuwan (for its spicy misal.) are very well known for their taste and quality that they provide.
A common fact of Pune is also that it is almost impossible to spot a vada pav or pani puri stall without college students being surrounded by it.
so hope these photos gave you pretty good idea of what you can get in tulsibaug at pune shopping . I remember going to this place from years .. and the place remains same .. as crowdy it was 20 years before .. it has not changed … so in my view if you are at Pune for some reason do not forget to visit this place for shop ….
And the latest good news in 2018 is that Tulsi baug will become WiFi in a short while, so while your girlfriend or wife is doing shopping you can spend time on Wifi chatting with friends 😛
