Pune Eatery's 50-Year Journey: From Hand-Pressed Juices to 150+ Dishes

• A vegetarian eatery in Pune celebrates 50 years, evolving from a modest juice bar to a multi-cuisine landmark with over 150 dishes.
• Founded in 1976 by Sital Ahuja, it began with hand-pressed juices and a commitment to fresh, authentic food sourced daily from Mandai Market.
• The establishment strictly prohibited MSG, artificial flavors, and preservatives, producing ice on-site and using stainless-steel machinery for hygiene.
• The second generation, Kunal Ahuja and Vishakha Ahuja, expanded the business with a new branch in Baner in 2018 while maintaining core values.
• It supports approximately 300 families, with many employees from Gangdwar village, Bihar, and fosters a strong community among its long-serving staff.
