These photographs were taken by me at a restaurant called "Vishalaa" in Ahmedabad. The place serves authentic Gujarati cuisine and maintains a rustic ambience which tries to embody the spirit of the hinterlands in Gujarat. The moment you enter, you are served with fruit juice (and a person scratching his nether region, in my case) and then you are led towards the musuem which basically houses kitchenware, some of which are even a thousand years old. The other attractions are a puppet show, folk singers, etc. Food is served in sheds which are dinning areas covered with tin roof and bare on the sides. Seating is on the ground (carpets) and flat logs serve as tables.
The food is delicious, though I do not remember the names of the items, except the dhoklas and theplas. Around four different varieties of "rotis" are served and as many different "sabjis". Food is strictly vegetarian and it is served in a continuous manner till the time you literally raise your hand signalling that you can stuff yourself no longer. "Paan" is served after you are done with your desserts.
Vishalaa is a nice place to experience authentic Gujarati fare and an overall nice experience. Be sure to take a local Gujarati along though, so that you know what you are eating.
A word of caution though, the restrooms are extremely dirty!
