Pakwan Dining Hall — Restaurant in Gujarat

It was my first trip to Ahmedabad, check in at hotel kanak, opposite Gujarat College, will review about it as well.. but for now reviewing Pakwan Dining hall.. I was excited and curious to experience Gujarati thali. As it was my first time experience. Coming from a Punjabi family based at Indore. My tounge was used to all types of cuisine but Gujarati food was alien to it. Starting with vibe...vibe of Ahmedabad is somewhat like Mumbai or Thane. Pakwan Dining hall reminds me of a restaurant showcased in Bollywood movies of 90s in which actor and actresses goes for a mid day meal. I went here for dinner. There were few customers. Some were local, a South Indian and us. Staff was composed and soft spoken. We spoke in Hindi and they replied without difficulty in understanding. They offered us 12 different items at a price of 280 and it was full Paisa vasool. Service was fast. Chappatis were hot. I must say Gujarati food rebooted my taste buds. I experienced all sweet, spice, salt, sour, bitter at same time and each taste is balance. Staff was so attentive that they were communicating with eyes with each other, as soon any bowl turns empty another one immediately asks for refill. I almost completed all my meal without having a refill and literally enjoyed it. Thumbs up to hygiene, material used in food preparation and service. P.S. if you want salt, ask for "mitthu" in Gujarati Timing are 11-3...

Fresh out of the frying pan, the second batch of ghatiyas we ordered were not so crisp. We loved the first plate we had, which is why reordered. The chutney on the table is really a thing to dig in along with those deep fried chillies which aren't that spicy. The service was pretty messed up may be because people suddenly came in large numbers to enjoy some junk nasta in...

I travelled all the way from jaipur to ahmedabad few days back on 14th january, stayed in a hotel near "pakwaan restaurant" And decided to taste some authentic gujarati food, my hotel manager suggested me the name of this restaurant (pakwaan). I'm very excited for eating gujarati food but when I reached there it was all opposite of what I expected. The staff was so rude, they didn't serve me all items that were promised on the thali meal which I selected from the menu, when I told manager about all this, his behavior was very rude. Also taste wise all the dishes are below average. Eating food there feels very uncomfortable and insulting to me, they behave like as if they are providing us...
