It will give you an insight about history of misal in Kolhapur as well as different flavors in various parts of the city. Continuing further, this blog tells about more old and fascinating misal joints in Kolhapur. I would like you remind that taste can be subjective i.e. varies from person to person. But each of the following misals is worth tasting at least once in your lifetime. Let us have a look at them.
KHASBAG MISAL......
This is also one of the old Misal joints in Magalwar peth area. Most popular items ordered here are Misal and Cutwada. Besides these simple normal Vada is also famous. Sev and chiwda quantity in Khasbag Misal is slightly on a higher side. Chutney used has its own unique taste. Spacious seating arrangement is present. Rush hours in morning time. Small parking for two-wheeler is available. Buses and rickshaws are available at a small distance on the busy road. Parcel facility is also available (may charge somewhat extra).

SALOKHE MISAL......
This misal joint is located opposite Market yard area. The misal is neither too mild nor too spicy accompanied with a plate of chopped onions. To make it spicy you may ask for 'cut' which adds a punch to misal. They have dahi(curd) as an add-on option. So make sure to inform them how you like it. Small seating arrangement is present. Ample parking is available. Buses and rickshaws are available on main road. Parcel facility is also available (may charge somewhat extra).

CHORGE MISAL......
This is also one of the old Misal joints near to Mahalaxmi temple and Gujari gold market area. You can definitely visit this place after devoting to Mahalaxmi devi. The main ingredient of this misal is papadi. Papadi is specially made for misal by the staff. This misal is not that spicy as other Kolhapuri misals. Quantity served is less. You need to pay more bucks from your pocket for chopped onion plate, cut and extra patal bhaji. Although you get cold-drinks here,sad part is that you don't get tea here; tea-lovers need to go out to some other place. Small seating arrangement is present. Rush hours especially in morning. Parking is a mission. Rickshaws are available at a small distance on the busy road. Parcel facility is also available (may charge somewhat extra).
Open hours : 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

No. I will write about it in newly developed, emerging misal spots.
Okay..
Hope after 15 years you will write about misal station and Gavran misal 😅😅
I have already visited Misal station ( good taste) & heard a lot about Gawrann misal as well. But this blog is about spots which is a part of misal history of kolhapur i.e. which lasted for more than 15 years or more. I will definitely visit gawraan once lockdown ends.
Hey after lockdown visit these places :
Misal station (khari corner - Mahadwar road)
Gavran misal ( Rajarampuri)
