Parsi Dairy Farm, Talasari, has become our favorite spot whenever we travel from Mumbai to Gujarat.

For kids, it’s worth visiting, as the farm features a play area and a shed with cute animals, such as rabbits, birds, and goats.
We chanced upon this place during our first road trip to the Statue of Unity in Gujarat. While returning to Mumbai, just before the Maharashtra – Gujarat border, you’ll notice this huge property. I was surprised to see such a well-planned farm in the middle of nowhere, especially with so many visitors, even during the monsoon. Thereafter, it has become our regular spot whenever we are on NH-48.
What should you eat at Parsi Dairy Farm Talasari?
The best food at Parsi Dairy Farm includes the signature Maharaja Lassi and the authentic Parsi Thali served in the sit-down restaurant. Parsi Dairy Farm is famous for its dairy products, especially pure Desi Ghee. Since my first visit, I have been shopping for Desi Ghee (Cow) and white butter. The aroma of ghee is divine and I savor it with my my dal, soup, khichadi and more.
I have also tried their shrikhand, kaju katri, and chocolates. I can vouch for the quality of the products, especially Desi Ghee. While I never had a proper meal at Parsi Dairy, as our lunchtime halt is usually at Hotel Ahura Restaurant in Dahanu, just half an hour from Parsi Dairy, were we enjoy our Kheema pav. But often we have enjoyed our glass of Maharaja lassi and buttermilk. This place is an absolute haven for vegetarian food lovers, especially Parsi cuisine.
