Excellent

great sizzlers

Yana has great sizzlers. I am specially fond of the Mix Veg Grill with Garlic Pepper Sauce. Schezwan is not bad either, though a little spicy for me.

They also have woks - basically mix of vegetables, dumpling, noodles,etc that you choose along with the sauce of your liking.

One sizzler with a starter works out great for two people.

traditional oven baked pizza

Jasuben's pizza are famous since the time the 'khau gali' at law garden used to be the thriving and favorite of most people. After the municipality decided to destroy it, many good joints moved out. These pizzas are still loved and savored and are truly amdavadi.

The pizza comes in one size and very few variations like the regular (with onions & capcicums), jain and double cheese. Regular one is priced at Rs 25.

awesome punjabi food

Themed like a road side dhaba, the interior is done nicely. Start of your meal with the chaat collection they have or finish the chaats while you wait to be seated.
For the main course, try the 'mirch masala' naan with corn and tomato bharta or the paneer kadhai. Add a masala chaas. End with the big hot crunchy jalebis.
This is an absolute favorite.

awesome experience and great food

Vishalla is an awesome experience of fine and authentic gujarati cuisine in a village setting.

The main highlight is spending an evening there. Reach there once it is dark and you will find yourself entering into a lane beautifully lit up with oil lamps. The hosts will welcome you with flowers. At the entrance there is the counter where you pay for the dinner (it is a fixed per person rate) and they will give you a time when you will be seated for dinner.

Till then you have various options to spend time on. As you walk inside, the entire place is lit up with oil lanterns giving a soothing atmosphere. In the main space a group of traditional singers and dancers performing and they will be delighted if you join in. In one corner there is a puppet show going on for kids. There is a excellent utensil museum where one can see the utensils used during olden days. There is a small shop with different gujarati handicrafts. And still if you dont want to do anything just relax on the traditional cots or the swings.

As soon as it is it dinner time, a waiter will come looking for you...and trust me they find you! You will be lead to the dining area which is divided into small open huts. They cluster up from around 2 to 15 people. You will be served on the leaf plates and bowls. And slowly the waiters will start coming in and serve the food.

And now the most important part...the food. Rather than going into too much detail of the entire menu, i would recommend what i really like. The best is the aloo subji, the rotla, kadhi, kichadi and the white butter. In the dining area you will see one hut where they prepare fresh roti or rotls or bhakharis.

Apart from dinner one can go there for evening snacks as well. They also organize lunch parties for a bigger group. i can write an essay on my experiences at vishalla but it is some place one should try in ahmedabad.

Poor

very sad pizza place

When i was in banglore about 6 years back, as a student, pizza corner was almost like treating yourself. So i got very tempted and pulled my friends there on an Sunday evening. Assuming that it might be hard to get a table, i was surprised that it was nearly empty, just 4-5 tables occupied.

It would be wrong to say that service was bad coz the staff was insufficient. Had to wait for a long time to place the order. Only 2-3 waiters serving the entire space!!! In terms of the decor and atmosphere, the entire space felt too dull.

We ordered a large vege supreme. The pizza was below average and the gravy was sweet. The topping were scanty. The cold drink was totally flat.

Overall, i found out why this place is empty on an sunday evening and given the current service and quality, I wont be surprise to find it closed in sometime. I got stares from friends for talking them out of going to pizza hut across the street!!
