Like almost all Indian cuisines, Gujarati cuisine is a gourmand’s delight. Whether it is the wide range of farsan, accompaniments like sweet dal and kadhi, subtle flavours of khichdi topped with pure ghee, or hearty desserts like basundi or halwa—you are guaranteed contentment. Every time. What’s more, all of this comes with a touch of the customary warmth the community is known for. If you are visiting the Gujarati capital anytime soon, here’s a selection of the best hotels in Ahmadabad for an authentic Gujarati food experience.

The House of MG

Listed as a premier boutique heritage hotel in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Ahmedabad, The House of MG as well as its annexes, Mangaldas ni Haveli I and Mangaldas ni Haveli II are a treat to your senses. Add to it Agashiye, the rooftop restaurant at The House of MG, which serves authentic, traditional Gujarati thali. And you’d find just the treat for the foodie in you!

Whether you want to indulge in their grand thali or not, try not to miss the dhokla, chaach, and kadhi they serve. Of course, what’s a thali—even Gujarati—without a round of sweets for “closure”? So miss the jalebi and kheer they serve here at your own risk. Heritage structure, efficient staff, and unbeatable food. What else could you ask for when you dine?
