Ahmedabad goes drizzle this rainy season.. with Urge to splurge

The downpour of restaurants for the crazy bees has added options for the food trend which is growing in the skyline of the city, covered with clouds but dotted with eateries. The urge to splurge on food suddenly grows when after the peak summers when the mercury is on rise your hunger levels, and then arrives the soothing showers inversing the fore-mentioned phenomenon.  Apart from just samosas or pakoras, the hungry soul then yearns for fried, spicy stuff and open spaces which are dropping.

I am always in for open spaces which along with good food have the best natural resource available i.e FRESH AIR!! Hence to venture, apart from the regular roadside eateries, I thought of listing down some irresistible options.
Truffle - The Cafe
Truffle – The Cafe: Located off S. G Highway, opp. YMCA club, a comparatively peaceful and bigger location. Apart from the container converted to a cafe, they have the best blend of live music, private spaces dug out for larger groups for friends and family. Food is completely another big story to tell!! You will just go  ga ga over their presentation and preparations. Moreover, the breads which they use are made fresh, in-house.

Few days back I tried my hands on over Jacket Mushrooms, buttons inverted upside down, stuffed and baked to perfection, served with a portion of fresh exotic salad and crunchy bread squares. The second bit which I opted was, ‘Broccoli almond soup’. A perfect healthy combo which can be repeated off and on..With “Food our Best Friend!!” as one of their tag line on the menu says...


Well in this romantic weather I am sure you will completely be mesmerized!!

Kolkata Konnections: A small, simple yet classy way in which you will immediately fall in love with as soon as you enter!! They have a created a green corner outside the restaurant, those who love to enjoy evening breeze can just munch on... be it biryani’s, Kathi rolls or Mughlai parathas.

Loacted near Lion circle, Bodakdev.

Nine Pine: A newly opened restaurant which has options from round the globe. Just beside Pride Hotel, on a happening street. You can either chomp on those cheese balls with a mocktail, or enjoy a hot Punjabi Dal Makhani Platter or bite into the most scrumptious Apple Pie with a hot coffee. 


Dil-e- Punjab: Go on a long drive on S.G Highway and just park your car, live music, tandoori parathas, tikkas, Chinese and soak yourself in this Urban Dhaba and refresh your highway travel tales...Located near Adalaj, vegetarian rules this place.

Unlocked: located in the heart of city in Navrangpura, this is an all day cafe with a small section outside dedicated for additional chilling experience, as the mantra of ‘Unlocked’ is to free yourself, revive your childhood, exercise your brain while exploring out on their World cuisine, waffles and live ice- cream counters.

Besides various stand alone eateries; the star rated hotels too have open restaurants, another spread of options for the fine diners. Be it Wind & Water at Fortune Landmark, The Garden Cafe at The Fern, Amnesia overlooking the pool, Citrus Grill at Lemontree offering view of Sabarmati and lot more...

So soak, stir and swirl this monsoon..

Upcycle Concrete

  Upcycle is an interesting "GREEN" practice nowadays followed by many!! For goods and commodities its good, but in the era of shifting sands, preferences, fast evolutionary changes, the need and demand for more excitement the malls, unlike old markets, have a very short life span. A decade is quite long, then they slowly organically fade out. Ahmedabad, unlike the metros is quick silver. The life span of malls is shorter than those in metros.. few which have swept off infront of our eyes in two decades are; Gulmohar, Fun Republic, Gallops etc. Gallops though with best brands, infrastructure couldn't survive the cost concious market. Two days ago I happened to step into Iscon mega Mall, Mega like the word suggests, its gigantic. Reliance hyper market was inaugurated on 15th August 2006 by Sh Mukesh Ambani, it was his big bang entry into retail segment. In this mega structure, today hardly 10% area is functional, rest is all unused.  If Westside and Reliance are functional...
