Soul Square | Multicuisine Bistro and Cafe | Bodakdev Ahmedabad — Restaurant in Gujarat

True to the name, after having a meal here you shall surely find your soul attain peace, that is what the mouth watering food does to you. A cosy place situated in the lanes of Bodakdev, this place needs more attention than it has been receiving till now! Lovely ambiance, soothing music a cafe where you can enjoy a scrumptious breakfast at leisure. This cafe is the ideal place to chill with friends/family over a cup of Hot Chocolate. If you are looking for some delicious Eggetarian dishes then you have found your paradise. They have some lip smacking options for Non Vegetarians too. So the place was recently renovated and they have a separate party area for group bookings and regular walk in’s on the ground floor. Potted plants at all the corners of the cafe makes the place look soo bright and fresh. The New Menu has an array of Instagrammable, absolutely delicious food and very reasonable pricing.

Drinks : Classic Hot Chocolate - The name speaks for itself, nothing that a good old cup of hot chocolate cannot solve. This one was really good, must try. Vanilla Cold Coffee - One strong cup of coffee topped with a scoop of Vanilla, the combination that works really well! Chocolate Keto Shake - One for all the health conscious people out there.

Dishes Green Goddess - Toasties loaded with Green Hummus (prepared in house) topped with seasoned Cottage Cheese & sauteéd vegetables, this is a great pick from their Breakfast Menu. The best part is that the quantity is quite good too. Kung Pao Bowl - Chinese food lovers should blindly pick this Bowl, the Kung Pao is flavourly, spicy and very aromatic and pairs perfectly with the rice. A super delicious bowl of food for sure! Egg Stir Fry Noodles - It is very difficult to find good Egg dishes and this is one of the most sought after dishes for me personally during Winters. The noodles and the egg was perfectly cooked, everything was well balanced and there was a sharp taste of Pepper ideal for the Winters. This is a must try from their Chinese Menu. Paneer Bhurji - Jain options have been newly introduced on their Menu and lovely options to pick from. Eggs Benedict - A classic egg dish with toast, crowd pleaser if I could says so is a must try. Mexican Platter - The Rice and Rolls and just so good you cannot stop eating! Tomato Basil Mozarella Sandwich - This was surely one hell of a sandwich loved that it was basic and yet so good. Lemon Cheesecake - Seasonal cheesecakes and some unique new desserts have been introduced with a lovely flavour options do check it out. Nutella Brownie Jar - Ooey gooey chocolaty dessert for the post meal indulgence.

Overall, a lovely space to work from if you decide to go to a calm place to relax. Service is also quick and quite efficient. One of the best places for Fancy English Breakfast (Veg & N Veg). Adding to all this, they also have discounts on their Desserts post 9PM daily so you do not need any more reasons to...

Exclusive Review✨️

Soul Square ✨️

Ever since inception in 2012 this place has always been close to my heart due to its serenely peaceful location and state of the art health food served

Time and again re invention in the menu has always kept this place abreast with the latest trends and fads. ✨️

✨️This visit to Soul Square was such a satiating visit that I was extremely overjoyed to see its pristinely renovated avatar show casing a selfie station with books and games, a gallery for girls and ladies to browse designer dresses, a live moctail bar and a thorough vibrance all around

✨️The Menu this time has a perfect balance of taste and health

✨️The First Floor has a Boutique Café with a unique concept and the Ground Floor serves Aesthetic Slay Burgers that are the first of its kind Open Burgers where you may add your own flavour too. Yes this you can do by consulting the staff

As I entered the staff attired in professional attire with perfect grooming made me feel comfortable to serve the following dishes

✨️Macha Latte : Gracious goodness of matcha with hints of vanilla and honey served succinctly in a sugar free avatar of almond milk

✨️Blue Pea Mermaid Latte : served eye soothingly with rich antioxidant infused rich blue pea power with hints of succinct honey based in almond milk

Followed by

✨️Green Goddess Hummus : single sliced bread with toppings and garnishing shredded with beautifully fresh Hummus. Strongly recommended

✨️Garden Pesto Pizza : a very unique concept of cold multi grain boat shaped pizza base topped with cream cheese, basil pesto, garlic butter topped with fresh salad greens and feta. A must have. Accompanied by

✨️Slay Burger Concept : Open Burger where you may consult the staff to add your own flavour

✨️Narcos Ka Fiesta : A Mexican burger with thickish veggie pattie, cheesy chipotle, refried beans, tangy salsa, crushed nachos, jalapenos and crunchy lettuce. Supremely yummilicous and must have

✨️Bim Bim Bap : A Neat Mushroom Korean Rice Bowl- a health bowl with gochujang flavoured rice, sautéed veggies, mushrooms and topped with fried egg. A show stopper with a unique presentation where an inverted case when opened wreaks a serendipitous cloud of steam to simply mesmerize your culinary senses

✨️Penne Pasta In Pink Sauce : Just perfect to delight your senses and satiate your culinary fiesta

✨️Dessert ✨️Eggless Biscoff Mocha Mousse – Decadent to the core, light and airy in its being, this dessert was the most perfectly made dish I have had in recent times. Well done team Soul Square

✨️All in all a very mood enhancing experience where little observations like the salsa sauce being sweet rather than tangy were sportingly accepted by the management for immediate improvement’

✨️My rating 10/10 for high quality of the food served, best service and great ambience

A must visit with...

I have been a long time fan for this place. Have had special moments here in 2014-2015. Came here today after a while and I left very surprised at the service intelligence and service levels.

For context, i am told I look and spend like your usual NRI ( which I am). I was quite OK with the price as long as you get the value and vibe for it. Just like many others, my gears/ accessories are enough sign to a smart retailer that this customer can afford a cup and a plate of something. I even appreciate good service even if the cost is high.

To my dissatisfaction and a bit of surprise, when I entered the cafe - the vibe was low. No fans or AC in motion (10:20 am). The staff was chilling on their phones. I came in to an empty room and no smiles/ greetings. Ordered a cup of chai (Rs ~250) as I waited for my wife. He gave me a look of garibi since I didn’t order anything else. ( pro tip for Soul Square, for any expensive place: ask if you are waiting for someone and if you are ready to order).

The guy goes away. I open my laptop as I wait for my wife. He comes there right away and says since you have only ordered one cup, I can let you be here for 40 mins. In a very condescending tone. I explained that I am waiting for my wife and we will order more if we want, are hungry and are enjoying our time. We won’t order just because you a time limit on seating in a completely empty room. I offered to leave if my presence was bothering the rules.

He repeated, I will let you sit if you keep ordering. At which point I explained again, slightly annoyed - it depends. He wasn’t happy, I offered to leave, he accepted my offer.

If he is the owner of the place, I don’t feel bad. It’s his business. If he isn’t, this message is for the business. Qualify well. I had a designer bag, a luxury watch, and a gold fitness tracker. Opening a mac. And he wanted me to leave / was happy for me to leave because I wouldn’t commit to buying food right away.

Cheers and good luck. I will cherish my 2014 memories and likely bring my business...
