Best Places To Eat Bun Maska In Pune
The welcoming bustle of an Irani cafe draws in throngs of crowds every day for breakfast and afternoon snacks. While the grilled chicken sandwich, mutton cutlet and the bun cheese omelette are sought after breakfast and brunch options, the allure of the Irani cafe really lies in the broon or bun-maska or the hard, buttered bread washed down with steaming cups of black, Irani chai.
Bun-maska has become almost as iconic as the Irani eateries of the city, and it is seldom easy to stop at just one plate of this delicious snack. We’ve rounded up a list of places, with a little help from foodies who grew up in the city, to help you find yourself the best bun-maska in Pune for a quick bite.
Cafe Goodluck
Good Luck Cafe is among Pune's finest restaurants. We went there for breakfast and had Kheema Pav and Bun Maska along with tea and coffee; all of it was excellent. The amount was adequate, and the cost was fair. Apart from that, you can also have Tawa Paneer Masala, Bun Butter Omelette, Bun Maska Pav, Rumaali Roti, Bun Omelette, and Tawa Chicken Boneless.
Vohuman Cafe
This is a popular place for chatting and catching up with friends over breakfast. They have a limited breakfast menu from which we ordered Bun Cheese Omelette, Egg Burji, Bun Maska, and Bournvita. They were prepared excellently, and we again placed an order for a Double-Egg Omelette with cheese, a Maska Pav, a Brun Maska and an Egg Burji.
Dorabjee & Sons Restuarant
Dorabjee & Sons Restaurant represents one of the oldest Parsi restaurants in Camp, owned and operated by the fourth generation of the Dorabjee Sorabjee Chindy family. With its minimal décor of Formica tables, plastic chairs, and damp walls, the restaurant manages to retain its old-world charm, making it a historical landmark. Very little has evolved in the food world since 1878. You will adore the brown rice dishes dum biryani, chicken dhansak, mutton paya, and kheema.
Cafe Yezdan
This is a 50-year-old Irani cafe situated in Camp and is a must-visit if you’re in the vicinity. The place has a certain nostalgic value. It’s a small place, but very well maintained and clean. The service is quick. We ordered their Brun Maska Tea and Cheese Omelets. They will add butter and jam to the buns at your request, and the bun itself is very soft.
Cafe Diamond Queen
Nestled in the Camp, or cantonment area, Cafe Diamond Queen is one of the oldest Irani haunts in the city. The eatery opened in 1930, way before Indian independence and is one of the oldest places in Pune to offer bun-maska to its customers. Diamond Queen Cafe is known for its non-veg dishes, however being a vegetarian, my more frequent trips are here for bun-maska and tea. The aroma of freshly baked soft bread smeared with slowly melting butter makes the mouth water and crave for one more plate to be dipped in the steaming hot cup of creamy tea.
Cafe Bun Maska
Cafe Bun Maska, as its name rightly suggests is one of the best places in the city for a quick bite of this delicious tea-time meal. This is among the favourite places of Punekars and they say it sells one of the best bun-maska here. One bite of their butter-loaded bun maska with kadak chai and you’d already be in foodie heaven. Their bun is fluffy soft and spongy. Have it with hot tea, and the pleasure skyrockets! Visit this place for a bustling afternoon tea experience because as this foodie says, "The warm, soft bread is hugely satisfying.
Maskawala & Co.
One of the newly opened Irani cafes in Pune, Maskawala is a place that keeps the culinary and cultural legacies of Irani establishments alive with its blend of contemporary and old-school nostalgia. The place is fast becoming popular especially among the locals in Kothrud especially because it has added an Irani cafe to the tapestry of this largely Marathi-dominated area. Visit Maskawala & Co. for its delicious Iranian repasts including, of course, the bun-maska and chai.
Kohinoor Restaurant
Nestled in the Camp area, this humble restaurant is a crowd puller as much for its chai and samosa as for its broon maska. This simple eatery serving delicious food has been around for decades and is a popular stop to pop by for a steaming cup of Irani chai. Take a trip down memory lane with Kohinoor's iconic bun-maska, where each bite is a harmonious blend of freshly baked buns and velvety smooth butter. Immerse yourself in the rich flavours and timeless traditions that have delighted generations.
The Irani Cafe
With 9 outlets across the city, The Irani Cafe was launched on Pune's old street of Prabhat Road by a pair of cousins who wished to pay tribute to the vanishing establishments serving broon or bun-maska. The eatery was launched in 2016 to revive the culture of Irani cafes and keep alive a connection between the past and present. This place is an oasis of charm and nostalgia in the otherwise bustling chaos of the city. With its soft, buttery bun and velvety maska, each bite is a symphony of flavours, taking you on a journey back to simpler days. It is an enchanting experience that captures the essence of a bygone era, leaving you craving for more.
Cafe Olympia
Cafe Olympia is yet another iconic spot for having a delicious plate of bun-maska. Located in the Camp area in Pune, it is known for its blend of vintage and contemporary elements that automatically draw the hungry shopper towards its doors. Popular for its sumptuous helpings of bun and chai, the huge bun is enough to make your hunger pangs disappear.
