Old Maharashtra Sadan

The restaurant is small, but nice. You might be required to show your ID card while entering the campus, if you are only accessing the restaurant. It can be difficult to get a seat if you come at a busy hour. We visited on a Saturday and had to wait ten minutes to get a seat for lunch, and nearly half-an-hour to get a seat for dinner. Good variety of Maharashtrian cuisine. Ample quantity for the price. The shrikhand is amazing. Helpful staff.

Maharashtra Sadan is a state government guest house located in New Delhi, India. It is located at Copernicus Marg, New Delhi, near the India Gate. It is a five-storey building with a total of 70 rooms. It is used by the Government of Maharashtra for hosting official events and providing accommodation to its officials and other dignitaries.

The Princely State of Sangli had its Residency on the present location of old Maharashtra Sadan on the then Lytton Road, now Copernicus Marg. On 8th March 1948 Sangli State got merged with Bombay Presidency and hence this property, after abolition of the Princely States in 1951, was assigned to the State of Bombay. Bombay State was thereafter split into the new states of Maharashtra and Gujarat on 1st May 1960. With the creation of the Maharashtra State, all properties of erstwhile Bombay State outside the then Bombay State came to the share of Maharashtra and hence, the Sangli Residency was taken over by Maharashtra State and renamed as Maharashtra House. Construction of a modest guest house on a portion of Sangli Plot commenced in 1962 and completed in 1963. The barracks and stables erected on this plot during 2nd world war by Ministry of Defence were converted to quarters for the in-house essential staff of the Maharshtra House.

Went there for dinner. Relatively smaller space for seating, compared with the new canteen. Though, the food was tasty, it wasn't as better as served in New canteen. The staff was courteous. Dinner starts at 7, the place is budget friendly, with authentic taste. People eating non-vegetarian food were quite pleased. Definitely recommend this place of you want to taste authentic Maharashtrian food.
