Sasumaa Gujarati Thali, Jetalpur

Sasumaa is one of the best veg restaurants in Vadodara. They serve the most delicious thalis with authentic Gujarati food. Also, the name ‘Sasumaa’ translates to ‘mother-in-law’ in Hindi.

Salsa Habanero, Hari Nagar

Salsa Habanero is Baroda’s first authentic Mexican restaurant. Every dish in the restaurant is improvised to suit your requests. And no, we’re not talking about the kind you do in your hostel, when you’re out of a major ingredient. But more like Vikas Khanna showing off in his cookbooks. Yup, no kidding.

If you’re looking for rooftop restaurants in Ahmedabad, then the ‘Gazebo’ is your answer. The place is known for its elaborate buffet and the live starter stations.

La Quello, Vadiwadi

La Quello is a sought after name when it comes to Mediterranean and Italian cuisines. And probably the only purely vegetarian restaurant serving that kind of food. Also, fun fact, they have over 480 money plants in the place. And anything related to money is held in high esteem in Gujarat. No wonder this place is so full.

Kai Asia, Akota

If you’re looking for pan-asian restaurants in Vadodara for dinner, then look further than ‘Kai Asia’. They serve the best Japanese, Thai and Chinese cuisines.

Spice Nation is one of the best non-veg restaurants in Vadodara without doubt.. The paneer platter is worth saving your pocket money. And so are the beverages.
