Kamal Narayan Pani Puri is a small, old-school street-food pani puri stall in Pune’s Camp/MG Road area, known locally among people looking for traditional pani puri rather than a large restaurant.

It is in front of Dr Rajore Clinic, near the Hanuman Temple on MG Road.

What makes it interesting

• Street-style pani puri, rather than a café/restaurant setup.

• Its location near MG Road and the Hanuman Temple makes it part of Pune Camp’s long-standing street-food culture.

Useful nearby landmarks

MG Road → Hanuman Temple → Dr Rajore Clinic → Kamal Narayan Pani Puri

This is a nice one to include if you’re documenting Pune’s old Camp food spots, alongside the area’s bakeries, sandwich stalls, Irani cafés and chaat vendors.

KARACHI SWEETS- Google Maps

Karachi Sweet Mart is a long-established mithai and savouries shop in Pune Camp, around MG Road/Moledina Road. The brand’s own site lists its Camp address as 16, M.G. Road, Karachiwalla Complex—so there are some address-number discrepancies across listings.

History

• Karachi Sweet Mart dates back to 1948 and describes itself as a business built on Tarachand Athwani’s legacy.
• The brand currently describes itself as serving customers for 75 years and has three strategic locations in Pune.
• It has become part of the food identity of Pune Camp and MG Road, an area known for its mix of old shops, bakeries, restaurants and street food.

What to try

The current menu includes a particularly large range of Indian sweets and savouries:

Sweets

• Kaju Katli
• Milk Cake
• Malai Barfi
• Ras Malai
• Mango Kheer Kadam
• Pista Barfi / Sai Mithai
• Jalebi
• Doda Barfi

Savouries

• Samosa
• Dhokla
• Namkeen
• Chiwda
• Other fresh farsan

The current online menu also lists sugar-free, jaggery, dry-fruit and festive gift-box categories.

Interesting local connection

The Camp outlet is particularly associated with MG Road’s old food-shopping culture. Local listings place Karachi Sweet Mart near Maruti Mandir/Hanuman Temple and Sachapir Street, while other current listings place the outlet at Aurora Towers on MG Road.

That makes it a useful stop if you’re doing a Camp food walk along:

MG Road → Hanuman Temple → Sachapir Street → Aurora Towers → East Street

Enak semua Nduk @rosaleesha , saya perhatikan, kamu lebih suka makanan manis ya
Kalau saya lebih suka ke yang gurih asin gtu sih
Selamat menikmati

[rosaleesha]

I prefer spicy tangy food with sweetness. Kerala has lot of sweet food. But Maharashtra has my kind of flavour

[TitikMariati]

Oh gtu , baiklah sayangku Nduk @rosaleesha selamat menikmati

​I was startled to see my city’s name on your post. This sweet shop has been here since 1948, and it must surely be very famous too, and I hope my Pune friends @TusharSuradkar @AjitThite @framesbysumedh must have definitely heard about it.

​Here in Karachi and Hyderabad, there are very famous places whose names are after different cities in India. For example, my father’s ancestral village in Gujarat, India is Kutiyana, and after its name, a very large hospital, Kutiyana Hospital, is operating here. Apart from this, Bombay Bakery cake is famous all over Pakistan. Bombay Sweets Karachi’s Malai Khaja and MauwPura are famous all over Karachi. People come in large numbers to eat Meerut Kabaab, Delhi Rabri and Golgappay. Similarly, you can check the reviews of Delhi Javed Nihari, Ambala Sweets, on Google maps, and Hyderabad Colony, Banaras Colony, and Madras Bakery—everything is here and operating under the exact same names after the cities or villages from where people migrated and came here.

​I hope you enjoyed the sweets from Karachi Sweets, and I also hope that when conditions get better, all my Indian friends will come to Karachi and I will personally take them to visit all these places one day, InshaAllah.

Thanks for sharing @rosaleesha

I am happy to see that you are happy to see your hometown name, Karachi, as the name of a shop in Pune, @KashifMisidia bhai.

There are multiple shops in Pune that I know of bearing the name Karachi.

I will capture it when I pass in front of it the next time

Same with food and dish names in hotels.
Chicken Lahori
Murg Jalalabadi
Murg Peshawari
Kabuli Chana
Murg Rawalpindi

The variety of sweets and savories look amazing @rosaleesha Thanks for sharing

[rosaleesha]

Yesss @KashifMisidia I wish to visit Pakistan and experience the food culture there… especially more after watching Dhurandhar . Karachi sweets is there in Hyderabad too

[rosaleesha]

If any karachi outlet has seating arrangement, we can have a meet-up there too @TusharSuradkar

[KashifMisidia]

@rosaleesha Everything shown in Dhurandhar is complete nonsense, and the documentary itself is a cheap propagative piece, so kindly do not cite it as an example.

​We live right here in Karachi and we know that a clumsy attempt was made in that movie to distort the identity and greatness of Karachi, which has undoubtedly painted a wrong and absurd picture of the city in your minds. If you want to see the real Karachi, nowadays quite a few vloggers from Europe and other countries are visiting Karachi, watch their vlogs, as they show you both the good and the bad sides here. Especially check out this video by Drew Binsky, in which I am also standing right beside him with the flag.

Hi @rosaleesha

I used Ask Maps and found these Karachi shops in Pune.
All are sweet shops - most likely franchises.

3 of them seem to have seating arrangements.
So you can host a meetup there.

Thank you for sharing this detailed guide @rosaleesha!

The contrast between the street style experience at Kamalnaryan Panipuri and the rich history of Karachi Sweet Mart since 1948 makes for an amazing food walk route through Pune Camp.

The photos of the pani puri and sweet displays look delicious!

[rosaleesha]

Yess definitely

[rosaleesha]

Thank you so much @Katarina_Cibikova
