Vaishali Restaurant
वैशाली
A landmark on FC Road that opened in 1954; its South Indian breakfasts and SPDP snacks are a shared memory for Pune students and residents.
Located on Fergusson College Road, it was founded in 1954 by Jagannath Shetty, originally as Madras Health Home. Known for South Indian food and filter coffee, its signatures include vegetable cutlet with sambar, Mysore masala dosa, onion-cheese-tomato uttapam, and SPDP (sev puri and dahi puri). Customers come throughout the day, and weekend mornings often bring queues, though turnover is quick. Prices are around 200–300 rupees per person. It is on the southern stretch of FC Road, a walk from Deccan Gymkhana.
Opening hours
Daily from morning to late, approx. 7:00–23:00
