4.4/5 (Read the Reviews)
Rajwadu brings the slow-churned flavours of rural Gujarat to Ahmedabad’s southern edge: a lantern-lit courtyard framed by banyan and bajra, where clay tandoors exhale the scent of bajri rotla and smoky tandoori pomfret, while servers in kediyu pour house-churned buttermilk from brass lotas. The thali—seasonal shaak, dal laced with jaggery, and a finale of saffron shrikhand—changes nightly, yet the 200-year-old wooden haveli panels and live folk trio keep the experience rooted. Book ahead; evenings fill fast with families celebrating under the stars.
