Agashiye
This is Ahmedabad’s best dining experience. On the rooftop of one of the city’s finest mansions, the lovely tiled terrace is an oasis of calm and space, candle-lit at night and a world away from the congested streets. The all-veg menu, which changes daily, begins with a rose-and-lemon-flavoured welcoming drink and is a cultural journey around the traditional thali – a multitude of ravishingly tasty vegetable dishes – and finishes with hand-churned ice cream.

Green House
The Green House is the casual front restaurant at the House of MG. Choose the fan-blasted outdoor courtyard or the AC room with a big-screen TV. The selection of Gujarati dishes is superb. Do try the house special sharbat; and the delicate and delicious panki, a thin crepe cooked between banana leaves; or the divine malpura, a sweet, deep-fried pancake in saffron syrup, topped with rose petals. And don’t leave without trying the hand-churned ice cream.

Vishalla
On the southern edge of town, opposite Vasana Tol Naka, Vishalla is a magical eating experience evoking a traditional Gujarati village. You eat a veg thali seated on the floor in rustic wooden huts, and the complex includes craft stalls and a fascinating Utensil Museum. Dinner is accompanied by puppet or magic shows and traditional music. Bus 150 or 31 will take you nearby; an autorickshaw costs about Rs. 90 return.

TC’s
This trendy little cafe near Gujarat College offers pita and hummus, Chinese noodles and Indian dishes in a bright cafe setting, with bubbling hookahs, big TV screens and bemused waiters. The sweet hookah smoke fills the chilled room and the Red Bull mocktails are about as wild as things get.

Food Inn
A clean, bright and bustling curry house where carnivores can tuck into numerous chicken, mutton and fish dishes, including biryani, sizzlers and Chinese. There are plenty of snacks and deserts on the menu too, which is dominated by spicy Punjabi curries and lip-smackin’ tandoori.

Al Karimi
This chilled ice cream parlour is a panel of glass away from the chaos and dirt outside. Guilt trips aside, it also doubles as a non-veg restaurant, though the house speciality described as ‘seafood and chicken chunks’ had us sticking with the very karimi ice cream.

Hotel ZK
A slinky AC, non-veg restaurant, with tinted windows, low lighting and impeccable service. The Chicken Afghani curry is recommended but apparently the most popular dish with the locals is the interesting sounding Chicken Pesto Chinese.
