A no holds barred, large hearted Gujarati thali restaurant where they do not limit your sweets. A must visit in Surat.
A no holds barred, large hearted Gujarati thali restaurant where they do not limit your sweets. A must visit in Surat.
A gleaming, attractive place buzzing with activity. A large seating area with shining steel chairs and tables and resplendent with roof lighting. The uber large steel platter and the innumerable steel katoris, the steel water carafe and thee steel glass only add to the lustre.
Lets see what the thali, costing INR 210, contained.
It started with farsans and chutneys. One fried tikki and one diamond shaped white dhokla. Sweet tamarind chutney, spicy green chutney, mixed pickle and onion lemon slices.
Four veg preparations, you had kidney beans usal, aloo tomato preparation, ridge gourd preparation and paneer capsicum preparation.
Phulkas. Puris. Makai roti served with a curd chutney.
White rice. Sweet dal and spicy dal. Papad.
Basundi. And one rich gujiya like sweet filled with mawa.
And chhaas.
The food was perfect and you had to figure out all kinds of algorithms to get the best and the most without leaving with a stomach ache. The efficiency and the insistence of the servers and the managers only added to your woes.
Verdict: "Profusion" seems to be the watchword here... from the no of dishes, the staff, the tables and the patrons at this place. Full marks.
