Vishala

Vishala Review

Try to make time for this famous 30-year-old restaurant, a re-created Gujarati village outside Ahmedabad that may serves the city's best food. Place your order at the entrance, and then try a sugarcane aperitif from the thatch-roof hut, where a boy cranks a giant cog-and-wheel contraption that squeezes juice out of the cane. Stroll on dirt paths lit by candles and lanterns toward an especially interesting kitchen-and-utensil museum and a Rajasthani puppet show performed under a palm tree, or wander into a clearing where musicians sing folk songs. When your order is ready, you sit at low, rough wood tables while turbaned waiters serve an authentic thali on dona and pattals, plates and bowls, made out of dried sal-tree leaves. Come hungry and prepared to eat with your hands.
