Spices & Herbs, Urjanagar

If you love good food and live music, then you’ll find both in Spices & Herbs. Plus, the Mexican platter has a loyal fanbase of its own. Probably why their online reviews are all about foodies singing praise in uber-cool lingo. Like that friend who can’t stop talking about this “awesome new series” that they’ve discovered on Netflix.

Must-Try: Pan shot, Stuffed Mushrooms, Hot Pot, Sizzlers Location: Swagat Rainforest 2, Opposite Swaminarayan Dham, Infocity, Gandhinagar Timings: Mon-Sun: 12noon – 3pm, 7pm – 11pm Cost for Two: ₹700 INR

Premwati, Akshardham

Premwati is a canteen restaurant located in Akshardham temple. And it’s known for its khichdi. And we know you’re probably saying “Hey, khichdi is a fine-dining experience? Really???”. And we agree. But once you’ve had a serving of their version of everybody’s favourite comfort food, you’ll be saying to yourself, “Yup, this is pretty darn fine khichdi.”

Must Try: Puri Shak, Masala Dosa Location: Premwati, Akshardham, J Road, Sector 20, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India Timings: 10.30 AM-11 PM Cost for Two: ₹250 INR

Mr and Mrs Idly, Infocity

If you’re looking for restaurants in Gandhinagar that rekindle your lost love for experimentation with food, this is the place to visit. They always cook up a modern twist of traditional south Indian dishes. So after meeting Mr. and Mrs. Idly, you’ll also meet their NRI cousin ‘Pizza Uttapam’, the signature dish of their menu.

Must-Try: Cheese Dosai, Punjabi Idly Location: Shop 29, Supermall 1, Infocity, Gandhinagar Timings: 11am – 11pm Cost for Two: ₹300 INR

The Waterside, Sarkhej

A Punjabi feast beside a waterfront with live music? This might seem the least Gandhinagar thing ever, but it is well and truly a thing. At ‘The Waterside’. The bucket loads of good energy and the sound of gushing waters will also lift your dining experience for sure. Basically, this is the closest thing you get to dining on the beach in Gandhinagar.

Must-Try: Keema Roll, Chicken Curry Location: Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway, Ahmedabad, Gujarat Timings: 11 AM – 11 PM Cost for Two: ₹700 INR

Big Bite Restaurant, Info City

The Big Bite restaurant is a great place to try authentic Kerala cuisine. Located in a business hub, their tables are almost always occupied by working professionals in the evening. We’ve heard their Paneer Toofani is so good, it has been known to cut tensions between colleagues even during an appraisal season.

Must-Try: Sp. Dal Bati, Sweet Rajasthani Churma Location: Shop 28, Radhe Square, Reliance Cross Road, Infocity, Gandhinagar Timings: 9am – 10pm Cost for Two: ₹300 INR

Purohit Hotel, Chiloda

One of the oldest catering businesses in Gandhinagar, the Purohit Hotel has been serving delicious food in its outlet for three decades now. Our personal recommendation would be to try their Kaju Curry. It’ll make you worship the food gods in no time. Which is not surprising at all, given their name.

Hungry Puppet, Bhat Circle

Hungry puppet is one of the best restaurants in Gandhinagar without a doubt. And why? First, the menu has a lot of cuisines to offer. And second, they actually organise puppet shows and magic shows every other weekend. Plus, if you see their presentation on their plates, you’ll realise the magic shows are the only magical thing happening in the place.

Must-Try: Crispy Vegetable, Honey Chilli Potato Location: Near Balaji Agora Mall, Radhe Fortune Complex, Bhat Circle, Airport Gandhinagar Highway, Gandhinagar Timings: 12noon – 3pm, 7pm – 11pm Cost for Two: 1000 INR

Orchid, Sector 11

If you’re looking for a piping hot buffet, make your way to the Orchid. Or if you’re an a la carte person, they have a menu for that too. The latter might not be a better deal for your wallet. But if your tummy doesn’t have the appetite of a hippopotamus on that day, then it’s a smart way to eat well and avoid wastage.

Khana Shana is one of the best non-veg restaurants in Gandhinagar. The menu features mind-boggling Punjabi food, along with a bazillion chutneys that’ll send your taste buds into a tizzy. Pro tip: Try their paneer cheese kulcha. It’s the most mind-blowing crossover since Avengers: Civil War.

Greens Restaurant, Sargasan Road

Not every place can serve perfect Chinese cuisine like the Greens Restaurant Gandhinagar. That too with beautiful outdoor seating. And staff who are friendly, but know when not to make unnecessary small talk on the spot. Unlike those tech-loving friends who’d bring ‘crypto’ in every freakin’ convo.

Must-Try: Minestrone Soup, Kaju Curry Location: Near Ved International School, Sargasan Road, Infocity, Gandhinagar Timings: 11am – 3pm, 7pm – 11pm Cost for Two: 500 INR
