Restaurants

This neat, spacious vegetarian eaterie, with glossy white marble floors, has a counter selling Gujarati snacks, savouries and sweets to one side, and a restaurant to the other. The menu encompasses savoury tea time snacks, chaats, south Indian dosas, and Indian-Chinese dishes. There are four thalis and all other items cost less than a fiver. A glass of wine, beer, or spirit is £2.25 or £2.50. So how's the food? Much better than similar restaurants. We can recommend khandvi (savoury chickpea flour ‘swiss rolls') and dhokra (steamed lentil cakes), both of which came with an abundance of mustard and sesame seeds, green and red chillies, and fresh coriander.
