Khav Gali in Ahmedabad

There is no denial that Amdavadi’s choose street food over big restaurants any day. Isn’t it? We all are very well aware of the famous Khavgali’s in Ahmedabad which are ManekChowk and Law Garden. Both these places that usually open during night time are much known for the variety of fast foods they have to offer. You will find a variety of food from Italian to South Indian to Punjabi and Mexican which will only confuse you more on what to order. These places are usually crowded but I am sure you will manage to find a table for yourself. Spoonzo recommends Chocolate Sandwich and Gwalior Dosa at Manekchowk. Both loaded with butter are extremely tasty and you will never want to get over that relishing bite. At Law Garden, spoonzo highly recommends Cholle kulche and Asharfi’s Kulfi. 

For people who love Law Garden and Manek Chowk you shall also fall in love with a place which has bloomed recently called the Bhukkad Gali. I’m sure you’ve seen the stalls outside CEPT University. That’s Right, It’s now also being referred as Bhukkad Gali. The cuisines served there are mostly Italian, Mexican, Falafal, Chinese, Punjabi and the usual Sandwiches, Coffees, etc. The best thing about these places are they are light on wallet, quick service, delicious in taste and there’s a lot of love in the air. 

If you haven’t visited any of these places then what are you waiting for? Whom to go with? – You can hang out with friends or family and if you’re new to the town let us know- Our Spoonzo team is planning to visit one of these places very soon!

Corn on the go – Best place to eat corn in the rainy season

In Ahmedabad, Monsoons are much cherished and with the first rain comes an array of food to welcome the pleasant climate. From young couples to small children to elderly couples enjoy the first monsoon. Many people find it very comforting to sit at home and with a cup of hot coffee and enjoy the lashing rain.

Staying indoors during rains may be a luxury for many but for an outgoing food enthusiast like me just cannot resist staying at home during the first rains. I take my car and drive straight up to Law Garden to relish my favorite food item in this season.

Oh yes, you guessed it right, I love having hot boiled corn commonly known as Bhutta in this weather. It is really a common sight to see people of Ahmedabad waiting patiently on road while the hawker prepares their bhutta.  Bhutta is nothing but a sweet corn which is roasted on hot coal and red chilli powder mixed with salt is rubbed on the sweet corn with a slice of lime. There’s no other place better than Law Garden to have corn as one will find a series of stalls selling varieties of corn. And while you are it, why don’t you give Savitaben’s corn-on-the-cob a go? 

Savitaben’s is a small lorry selling different varieties of corn-on-the-cob, just outside the Samartheshwar temple near Law Garden. A very sweet person, she always asks where I have been whenever I visit her, as she serves me my favorite boiled corn with cheese. All the lazy bums out there don’t just sit at home and watch the rains, get up and go on long romantic drives with your loved ones and share with them this fleeting taste of varieties of corn available in Ahmedabad.
