Peshawri

Top choice in Gujarat & Diu


Rough stone walls, heavy wooden beams and hanging copper vessels conjure a northwest frontier feel at Vadodara's best restaurant, with loyal customers coming all the way from Ahmedabad and beyond. North Indian and clay-oven dishes are the speciality here; standouts include tandoori jhinga (prawns) and murgh malai (marinated chicken) kebabs, as well as imaginative stuffed naans. Book ahead.
