Kalpesh ji: Its gotto be a veg+non-veg place. I can not digest pure veg food. I develop an allergy from veg food on such drives, outings, picnic, etc.

About the eataries in Lonavala - Guys there dime a dozen places where we can hog. Why worry about it a lot?

My suggestion- Lets go to Tony/Sunny etc dhabas on the way back. Sunday lunch at a dhaba would be more like it, than sitting in a hotel.

Tony/Sunny seems good provided it is decent enough for the ladies accompanying us.

Gujju food on a weekend.. Criminal waste of money!!

I'd love Kamat too! BTW, I guess it is your indigo that I photographed during the last meet I was there. Right?

Sid, though Tony and Sunny are technically dhaba's, the quality of food and overall ambience is no less than a hotel. The weekends see a lot of family junta head towards these joints for food.

So, yeah. Its safe for the ladies too.

MX, Kamat used to have lovely food. Of late, due to the E-Way, their quality has gone down on the charts.
And yes, its was Kalpesh's Indigo that you snapped, when we met at Sheetal.

I loved the food at Tony's. And my daughter loved chasing the ducks there too.

BTW, I dug out the pics of your skoda (interiors I clicked) in the same meet Swanand. Will definitely post those here. This time I'm looking at clicking some HDRs of some of the vehicles that come to the meet. So Pawana sounds a great place!

Neither are the prices! Not really a deterrent, both Tony and Sunny are quite nice to put up your feet and relax. Also no reason to worry about parking. Maybe we should just take a call based on where we are when we are hungry. If we are somewhere rural, might just pop in for some nice bhakri - gaavraan chicken.
My son would prefer the hot jalebis at Tony. Not sure if there are any sweet teeth among us

yessir, I also remember throttleking's subtle reminders, so I take back the Gujju suggestion

i am game for Tony or Sunnys too. I was just getting elated by hearing the name of the Gujju eatery ; will take directions for it from you nonetheless

Lets freeze Sunny/Tony. However to eat at Sunny/Tony we have to wade through peak rush hour traffic at Lonavala with an hungary stomach.

Lets take a picnic each. Not asking for trouble, just something that we can buy beforehand so that we can eat on time.
Or we have breakfast at that TBA place before we leave.

I would also like to find:
- a tree that I can climb/ sleep under/ sit under and read a book. Ok the last one, maybe some other time
- a pathway near the backwaters that we can walk around
Anything you guys want to do while we are there?

Guys,

I am a complete noob when it comes to routes and stuff. Just wanted heads up on the road conditions, so that I can decide whether Honda City would be road fit (hate to hurt the underbelly ) else work horse "BumbleBee".

Is there a McDonalds enroute where we can catch breakfast from??

Racer_X; lets have misal pav at Katakirr on Karve road before we leave. In other words, dont ask for the big M, lets try to stay local and in tapri flavour at least in planning phase

btw, in terms of GC it would be equally bad for the Honda twins so we can take a joint call.

Oh by the by, I classify eggs as vegetarian

Fabulous, it would be great to meet the Admiral! Last time in the mega meet, I had the pleasant opportunity to speak with Herr Guderian. If you dont remember me, I was the quietest and most sombre guy in that dhaba!

apart from throttleking and silverado, even ajnagpur, mdsaab, ashishpallod and Tejas are MIA. I will try to find the others who are hiding by next week

Edit: Subodh, if you are interested in another car to jump into, I can bring the Nano
