Fergusson College (FC) Road is famous for its South Indian vegetarian food. However, no place serves South Indian non-vegetarian dishes in this area till now. FC Road Pune now gets a Non Veg South Indian restaurant! A new spot called Gupshup has opened on the first floor of Ashish Plaza, FC Road. It is the latest restaurant by the team behind Gulp, and it brings authentic South Indian non-veg flavours to the heart of the city along with a full bar menu.

Ghee Roast Prawns and Chonak Tawa Fry

I started my meal with the Ghee Roast Prawns. The dish featured big, juicy prawns in a thick, tangy gravy. Each bite felt satisfying and full of flavour. Next, I tried the Chonak Tawa Fry. The chef pan-grilled the fish until the skin was perfectly crispy. The inside remained creamy, the fish had minimal spices, which lets the natural taste of the fish shine through.

Andhra Fried Chicken and Chettinad Chicken Wings

For appetizers, the Andhra Fried Chicken is a must-try. It consists of fried chicken fillets sprinkled with bold Andhra spice podi. It comes with a cucumber raita on the side, which provides a cool, refreshing contrast to the heat of the chicken. The menu also features Chettinad Chicken Wings, which packs a punch of traditional Southern spices in every bite.

Kolhapuri Chicken Cutlet

The Kolhapuri Chicken Cutlet was a surprise highlight. These are made with minced chicken stuffing. Garnished with groundnut-kanda-lasun (onion-garlic) chutney. The chutney is super spicy and gives a hot kick to the dish. I found this snack to be the perfect companion for a chilled beer.

Mutton Paya Curry with Malabar Paratha

I finished the meal with their Mutton Paya Curry. It is a South Indian take on the classic North Indian Nalli Nihari, but it uses traditional Southern spices. The dish is topped with a flavourful turmeric ghee tadka right before serving. I paired it with a flaky Malabar Paratha. The combination is warm, homely, and very comforting.

If you are looking for a new place to enjoy South Indian non-veg food with a drink in hand, head over to Gupshup on FC Road. It is a great addition to the neighbourhood for anyone craving authentic, non-veg South Indian food.
