Incredible Ahmedabad Dishes
Gujaratis are known for their love for food. And while everyone only sees gujjus as the dhokla and fafda crowd, allow us to inform you that this is also the place where that is immense room for experiments. The only condition is, tasty khavanu aapo (the food should be tasty). We bring to you incredible Ahmedabad dishes that you must try whenever you visit the place. Believe us, you won’t find some of these dishes anywhere else in the country.
1. Jasuben’s Pizza
Bye , bye authentic pizzas, we are bored of you! This is the ‘gujju’ version of the popular Italian pie. It is loaded with ketchup and cheese and isn’t usually melted. It is one of the most popular joints in the city.

2. The Pineapple, Chocolate and Cheese Sandwich at Manek Chowk
So you might get this somewhere at a fancy restaurant. But nobody’s going to serve it to you at 2 in the night amidst the hustle and bustle of a hundred foodies gathered at the city’s most celebrated food haven “Manek Chowk”. Must try!
