Last weekend we spent less than 48 hours in Ahmedabad to watch the Cricket World Cup… England versus Australia (now world champs!) 🇬🇧🇦🇺 It was short but sweet… here’s a few of my recommendations if you find yourself in #ahmedabad in India 🇮🇳 1. I highly recommend eating at House Of MG and Café Tilla. House of MG has the best Thali in Ahmedabad (all veggie!) and extremely tasty. The saffron ice cream was also beautiful. Café Tilla is also a great breakfast spot… make sure you try the Paneer and Chilli toastie! 2. There’s lot of hotels in Ahmedabad but we ended up staying at the Fairfield by Marriott. It wasn’t fancy but clean and did the job for the night! I think next time I would love to stay somewhere more historic like House or MG though! 3. The best way to get around is by tuk tuk! This might seem a bit daunting at first but it’s the fastest and easiest way to get from place to place. Tuk tuks are also available on Uber! 4. Make sure you visit the historic Manek Chowk market. It’s super busy but you get a real taste of India, the culture and food. I would be wary with what you eat but even if you don’t eat, I highly recommend walking around and visiting the famous monument which the market is named after! The streets around here also very beautiful and filled with lots of food and culture.

Nightlife in Ahmedabad revolves a lot around gastronomic heavens and Manek Chowk rules these heavens since decades. Right in the heart of the old city, there is a square - jewelry market during the day. Every evening, around 6-7, the magic happens and it transforms itself into a guzzling food plaza. Jewelry shops close and the open parking space at the center of the square gets cleared to make space for food stalls and chairs-tables. The seating area is shared by all the stalls. So, irrespective of where are you seated, you can order anything in the vicinity - from Pav bhaji, Pulau, Sandwiches, Uttapam, Dosas to Noodles, Manchurian and Pizzas. If you feel like eating something innovative, you can even go for Cadbury sandwich, Cadbury cheese pizza, Gwalia dosa, Ice-cream sandwich and Pineapple pizza. I have tried almost everything at least once and have never been disappointed. This is more of a group place - so you see a table typically occupied by a group of family or friends. It also works well because you get to try multiple things at one go when you are in a group. Once you are done with the dinner, leave some space for desserts. And for that you “must” go to Asharfi’s kulfi which will bring you the most amazing varieties of kulfis. It is one of oldest chains in Ahmedabad, which started in the 1940s and has been pioneers of kulfi to the extent that the name Asharfi has become equivalent to kulfis for Amdavadis. They even claim that nobody has ever fallen sick due to their kulfi. Overall, Manek Chowk has everything a foodie can ask for in terms of taste and quality of food. If you are in Ahmedabad, you MUST VISIT.

Visited Manek Chowk (Street food) in Ahmedabad for the first time. Here are my key takeaways. 1. The area is very congested and Lane's are very narrow, so bringing your car will not be a good idea, as you will not get parking at this place. Even finding a parking for 2-wheelers will be a task. Try visiting this place in a cab or an autorickshaw. 2. If you are a fan of Butter and Cheese then this place is a must visit. If not then this place can be easily avoided. All the dishes here are made with butter and cheese. 3. Bhaji Pav, Pineapple cheese sandwich, Gwalior dosa, Italian wood pizza, pakodi (Panipuri, Puchka), Pulav with masala papad, Manchurian Dry, Mix kulfi ice-cream and rabdi kulfi are the speciality of this place. 4. No parking space available. No valet nor pay and parking. 5. The place will be over crowded on weekend so try going on weekdays, so you can enjoy the food. 6. This place is open air, there is no place for covered dining or fine dining with Air conditioner. These are street side food stalls. 7. This place was open till 12am when we visited in the month of October 2021. 8. One time visit place if you are new to Ahmedabad. 9. One of the greatest downside is each and every dish is overloaded with butter and cheese. 10. If you are want to avoid Butter and Cheese then definitely avoid this place. There is nothing on menu without butter and cheese. The dishes here are soaked with butter and cheese.

Manek Chawk is an absolute paradise for food lovers and I recently had the pleasure of sampling some of their mouth-watering delights. First up was the legendary Pavbhaji and Sandwich. Served hot and fresh, Butter Pavbhaji was packed full of spicy flavors and melted in my mouth. Sandwich had a crispy exterior and was bursting with spicy chutneys and fresh vegetables. It was the perfect blend of crispy and succulent that left me craving for more. So I took it twice, before and after main course i.e. Pavbhaji. Next, I tried the irresistible candy floss. The candyfloss was absolutely delightful, with a soft and fluffy texture and a sweet, fruity taste that tickled my taste buds. It was simply magical! Then came across 'Bari' the childhood love made out of extracted pasturised milk – a perfect end to a delicious meal. Reminded me of my childhood with the perfect right amount of sweetness. Last but not least was the rich and creamy Rabdi. This traditional Indian sweet drink was simply divine, with great texture, exotic flavor, and served sweet. The rabdi was the perfect ending to a spectacular food adventure at Manek Chawk. Overall, Manek Chawk is truly a foodie's paradise, serving a tantalizing array of dishes that are sure to delight all palates. If you're seeking an unforgettable culinary experience, then a visit to Manek Chawk is an absolute must.

Manekchowk is a must-visit for anyone seeking the best of Ahmedabad's street food scene. Whether you're a local or a visitor, the incredible variety, delicious flavors, and lively atmosphere make it a late-night food haven that shouldn't be missed. Manekchowk is renowned for its diverse offerings, with each stall providing a unique and delicious experience. Among the standout items are: Pav Bhaji: A must-try, the Pav Bhaji at Manekchowk is rich, flavorful, and served with buttered buns that perfectly complement the spicy vegetable mash. Gwalior Butter Dosa: This indulgent dosa is generously slathered with butter, creating a crispy, golden exterior and a soft, flavorful interior. It's a delightful fusion of traditional South Indian fare with a local twist. Ghughra Sandwich: A unique take on the sandwich, the Ghughra Sandwich combines the flavors of a traditional Gujarati ghughra (savory pastry) with the convenience of a sandwich, resulting in a crunchy, savory treat.Pineapple Ice Cream Sandwich: For dessert, the Pineapple Ice Cream Sandwich is a refreshing and sweet end to your street food journey. The combination of tangy pineapple and creamy ice cream sandwiched between two slices of bread is both innovative and delicious.
