Karad is a city in Satara district in the southern part of Indian state of Maharashtra and it is 290 km (180.19 miles) from Mumbai and 159 Km from Pune. It lies at the confluence of Koyna River and the Krishna River. The two rivers originate at Mahabaleshwar, which is around 100 km from Karad. They diverge at their origin, and travel for about the same distance to meet again in Karad. The rivers meet exactly head on, thus forming letter "T" which is the only head on confluence in the world. Hence Krishna and koyna river's confluence is called Preeti Sangam, meaning Confluence of Love. Karad is well known for sugar production and is known as the sugar bowl of Maharashtra owing to the presence of many sugar factories in and around Karad. It is considered as an important educational hub in Western Maharashtra due to the presence of many prestigious educational institutes. This place is also known for resting place or (Samadhi) of the first chief minister of Maharashtra Shri. Yashwantrao Chavan situated at the confluence of Krishna and Koyana river.

I had been to this place many times. Usually We had Mutton rice plate( goat meat). They serve fresh meat in Kolhapuri style. A small dish of Mutton Masala, red curry and pandhara rassa ( white coconut curry with the extract of meat). I found the meat fresh and tender, red curry good but lot of oil how ever don't find Pandhara Rassa appealing.
Rotis are good in and made up of Jawar. Over all I recommend this to the meat lovers. Try liver fry which is very good. Ambiance may not be appealing but who cares.
How to reach- take left on Kolhapur- Pune highway after Karad( Krishna River) towards Patan. Approximately 500 Mtrs off highway opposite Sahyadri Super speciality Hospital, Karad.

No nonsense menu. Akkha Massor (Lentil), Dal fry, one Paneer vegetable, Rice and Dahi that's it. The speciality of course Akkha Masoor. Huge parking lot and sitting arrangements are also moderate. Located on Karad Chiplun Highway so while travelling on Pune Kolhapur or Kolhapur Pune side remember to get down before flyover(both side).
