Read moreHotel Ahura on the Mumbai–Surat Road is one of the most popular highway stops in the area. It is especially known for its freshly prepared snacks and authentic Gujarati flavors.
When you walk in, you are greeted by the sight of a large counter full of traditional sweets and farsan, and the menu offers a wide choice of items that appeal to both travelers and locals.
One of the must-try items here is their desi ghee jalebi. It is served hot and crisp, with a rich taste that instantly makes it stand out. Along with it, their fafda, methi gota, and mix bhajiya are also very popular and perfect for a quick snack. If you are looking for something heavier, items like puri bhaji, pav bhaji, and different dosas such as pizza dosa and jinni roll dosa are available.
For those who enjoy proper meals, the menu has a variety of vegetable curries like cheese methi lasan, kathiyawadi kofta, paneer lazziz, paneer patiyala, and even seasonal specials like aamras. You also get typical Gujarati options like dahi samosa, paneer pakoda, and dahi bhindi masala. The taste is homely, and the food is prepared in a way that feels fresh rather than mass-produced.
Another highlight is the sweet section. Apart from jalebi, the shop is famous for its desi ghee laddoos and other mithai, which many people buy to take home. The small pickle counter here is also worth checking out, offering spicy and tangy varieties that go well with rotis or theplas.
Overall, Hotel Ahura is more than just a pit stop—it offers a mix of snacks, meals, and sweets that give you the true flavor of Gujarat. A perfect halt for travelers who want both taste and tradition on...
