SAI SAGAR FOOD COURT @ SHIRDI
Just before we went for the darshan of Sai Baba on the first day at Shirdi, Venkat and I decided to have a snack at Sai Sagar Food Court which is right across the temple entrance at Gate 1.
We asked for Upma and Dosa and both were very good. We saw that they also serve two types of thali for lunch and dinner – both vegetarian.
The first one costs Rs. 50 – yeah, it’s true – and serves 2 rotis, 2 sabzis, dal, rice & pickle. The second one is a Chinese Thali costing Rs. 60 – serves rice & Manchurian gravy. We never got the time to taste either of the thalis but we saw people queuing up for them. The restaurant is very spacious and ran full during lunch and dinner hours.
Sai Sagar Food Court is attached to Sai Palace Budget Hotel that offers rooms at reasonable rates.

I have heard a lot from people about the comfortable facilities offered by Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) within the state. Once before, when we visited Matheran a few years ago, we went to check out their facilities there. We were not too impressed.
The Reception - the guy there was quite helpful |

Quite nice!

I asked Nanda if she will be sending little Anushka to school. She told me that her daughter would be sent to school when she was four. She also said that they lived not very far away from where they sold cane juice. The whole place was green with so many trees and fields around. I told her that they were very lucky to live amongst nature and Nanda agreed with a wide grin. Mother and daughter posed for a couple of pictures and Anushka was quite thrilled that I had taken one with her and Rushi in the same frame.
We said goodbye and left the smiling mother-daughter duo to return to Shirdi.
