Food Rooted in Village Soil & Warrior Spirit
At DurgBhumi, every meal is an homage to the hearty food that nourished Maratha warriors and the agrarian communities of Velhe for centuries.
Our culinary team sources fresh seasonal vegetables from surrounding local growers, presses cold peanut oil right here in the valley, and hand-grinds fragrant whole spices on traditional stone mortars (Pata-Varvanta).
Whether enjoying our signature Royal Sahyadri Thali served on heavy brass kansa plates, sipping wild kokum Solkadhi on the breezy Duplex Deck, or tasting chulivarchi jowar bhakri with spicy thecha, each bite connects you deeply to Maharashtra's soil.
