I hope you have read my previous post about The Club , Mahabaleshwar....If you haven't as yet here it is.
Meals at the club are a formal affair ....members are expected to dress appropriately....no shorts and rubbish thank you very much!
The reason I chose to write a separate post on just the food is because the food is so spectacular I just could not put it all together in one post!
The quaint old brass bell is rung to indicate the start of a meal time....yes there are fixed meal times....and the same old brass bell is rung 10 minutes prior to the close of meal time!
And best of all no cell phones allowed in the dining area! Thank God ....dosen't it just ruin a meal ?
When people on your table keep checking their phones or worse still when people on the adjacent tables talk loudly over their phones....at least there are a few places in the world that still respect the environment in which a meal is to be enjoyed and go that extra mile to create such an environment!
The tables are laid out perfectly ....every guest is assigned their own special table and bearer for the entire duration of their stay. Each meal is accompanied with a printed menu on the table!
 |
| Breakfast |
Of course the menu for the day is disclosed 24 hours in advance on the notice board outside the dining hall ....
 |
| Akuri - Parsi style scrambled eggs at breakfast |
I dont know about you but food is pretty much the thing I look forward to on any holiday I take....so its nice when they tell you what they will serve you for your next meal....that way you can dream about the next meal while dozing off on the hammock :))
 |
| Chicken roasted to perfection |
Food both vegetarian and Non Vegetarian is exceptional ....meals are almost always a good mix of Indian and Continental. Lunch and dinner start with a soup and soup sticks....and the main course is a delight!
 |
| Spring Onion Soup |
The food is modern yet old world ....dining at The Club is such a delight to all your senses....here are some more pictures of what we ate during out last stay there....
 |
| Sauteed Vegetables and Patrani Macchi |
 |
| Vegetable Lasagna |
The desserts are spectacular ...I specially love the steamed date pudding served with cream...

And now onto the Kitchen tour...well what can I say....
Never before have I seen staff that has so much pride in the kitchen and establishment they work in....
I took an exclusive guided tour of the kitchen and the kitchen staff was so happy and welcoming and they told me "Madam you will not find a better and bigger kitchen than ours in all of Mahabaleshwar...well thats true....there isnt any......
The kitchen is airy , sunny , beautiful and all white.....its so spacious and old wordly....
The vegetarian and non-vegetarian areas are separate....
Its such a lovely positive happy place to be in.....so much better than any 5 star kitchen I have seen with all its steel and sharp edges....
I hope you enjoyed your tour of The Club Mahabaleshwar as much as I enjoyed writing about it....
