A banquet hall near Keshav Nagar, on the Mundhwa side of the river

Keshav Nagar grew up alongside Mundhwa on the same bank of the Mula-Mutha, towards the Mundhwa bridge that leads over to Kharadi. Many people treat the two as one neighbourhood, and the trip between them is a local one: out of your society, onto Mundhwa Road and along to us. There is no highway and no bridge involved, which keeps things simple for drivers who do not know Pune.

The tricky part is usually the start, not the road. Keshav Nagar has many large new societies with gated entrances and internal lanes, so guests coming from elsewhere often end up circling. Send them our Google Maps pin rather than a description, and look at the how-to-reach page for guests coming from further away.

A lot of Keshav Nagar residents have moved into their flats recently, often from other cities or from other parts of Pune, and are hosting their first big occasions in the new home. A griha pravesh pooja is often the first, and when the guest list grows past the flat, a hall nearby lets you do the ritual at home and the meal with us, or move the whole thing here.

After that come the milestones: a first birthday, a baby shower, parents visiting for an anniversary. These hosts usually want a place that feels close to home, food they can taste before deciding, and clear terms in writing. That is how we work: the menu is shared on request, and a date is yours only once we confirm it in writing.

Large societies often outgrow their own clubhouse for festival programmes, cultural evenings and annual get-togethers. If your Keshav Nagar residents' committee is planning one, tell us the kind of programme, whether children will perform on a stage, and how food will be served. The community events page has more on how these days work.
