Ahilyadevi’s is an ideal destination for hardcore non-vegetarian to unleash their love for meat. It is owned by Thorpe Family and recipes come from their mother’s kitchen keeping the match with traditional Maharashtrian cuisine. The food is not that spicy because it originates from Solapur(It was the best for me).
