    If you're looking to experience the rich and varied flavors of Gujarati cuisine, look no further than Pakwan Restaurant. Their Gujarati thali is an absolute delight, featuring a wide variety of dishes that are sure to satisfy any appetite. The restaurant itself is warm and welcoming, with a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a leisurely meal with friends or family. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend dishes and answer any questions you may have. The thali itself is a feast for the senses, beautifully presented with an array of small bowls on a large platter. Each dish is bursting with flavor, showcasing the unique spices and ingredients that make Gujarati cuisine so special. From savory curries to crispy fritters, there's something for everyone on the thali.

    The food here is amazing!!! Basically I went there with office staff for a small party. We ordered chhole bhature, macroni, sarson da saag and makke di roti (ordered and tried it first time and it is must to eat whenever you visit honest of pakvaan cross), special bhaji paav, dosa and manchurian. Among these, I loved eating sarson da saag and makke di roti, chhole bhature and macroni. If someone is a punjabi food lover like me, then one must visit Honest restaurant on Pakwaan cross.

    This restaurant is located on the highway itself.Has a lot of veg varieties available but Gujarati Thali was best among all these which include Gujarati dishes in it and that too unlimited.Cost of Thali was around Rs 300 for each individual.Has lot of seating facility available.Staff are well behaved.Totally Worth it.Recommended for Thali Lovers.

    Unforgettable experience. Kind & courteous people. On my request by a phone call, they kept the hotel open late for lunch. I was the only customer they served post their usual timings. And I have no words to put in the experience about taste of food. Extremely delicious. Waiting for my next trip to Ahmedabad. Surely my go to place.

    Superb Gujarati Dining hall in Ahmedabad. They are serving authentic Gujarati Thali which is value for money. Taste is like you would always come again and again. Beutiful part is they are taking care of Social Distancing and ensuring hand hygiene. Best part is to give hand sensitization touchless experience to Customers, they have installed AUTOMATIC HAND SANITIZER Dispenser which dispenses the sanitizer automatically when hand is put below the machine. This has helped them save the manpower time and cost as now they do not need a dedicated person to give hand sanitizer to customers at the entrance. 0

  • 5/5 Rajshekhar 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing place for thali lovers. Unlimited meals. Superb taste. Staff is also very customer centric. They celebrated my Mom's birthday by converting the sweet (mohan thaal) into a cake. It was a great experience! I would surely visit it again.

    We experienced a delightful Gujarati thali within a tight hour before boarding our flight. It was an unexpected pleasure. Considerint the time that we had (we didn't)I approached the restaurant manager, requesting a quick service, and was met with a warm smile. Mmanager assured that they will serve us within 10 minutes, emphasizing that we should savor every bite. They maintained perfect pace, ensuring each dish arrived with care and attention. There was no unnecessary rush; manager ensured we didn't miss any flavors. Their time management and dedication resulted in an unforgettable dining experience. Grateful for their exceptional service and delicious tasty food

    the Gujarati thali is a truly delightful meal that offers a fantastic introduction to the flavors and textures of Gujarati cuisine. With so many dishes to choose from, it's the perfect way to explore the rich and varied culinary traditions of India. Highly recommended!

    If you have doubts about where to get your thali fix, just come here. Every morsel is worth it, service is prompt and they get better every few years. There is parking and an elevator at the back. They also have a wheelchair should you need one.

    The management and staff is too rude and careless ...the managements need a better leader ..and they should hire someone with better talking etiquettes...the food is good but that cannot be the only thing to rate the restaurant .... totally disappointed with the ambiance and staff..i wish I could give less stars but i can't

  • 5/5 CA Gopal C J. 8 months ago on Google
    All good. It is better to go for Lunch than Dinner, if you want to fully taste and enjoy the food. Feels you are sitting in a very crowded place.

  • 5/5 RJ R. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are non gujju and crave for a true gujju simple dish experience then this is the place. Quick service is the plus point. Offers almost close to authentic Gujarati dish experience. Worth visiting with family and friends.

  • 3/5 Dhrumil A. 7 months ago on Google
    It used to be one of the best places for gujarati food, but the staff nowadays is too rude and needs to change little with their attitude. Needs a lot of improvement.

    Thaali Its one of the iconic restaurants serving Gujarathi Thaali. So much that the junction itself is known as Pakwan.The food is good, but when considering the ambience and other things there are other better Gujarathi Thaali hotels in Ahmedabad. Still a good one.Gujju thali with unlimited food at reasonable rate, species , excellent service . Food is too testy . Marriage function , birthday , Anniversary function , get together etc. big event with food .. perfect place for gujju food.interesting Gujarati food joint. Excellent dinning embience situated at prime business district in well appointed beiulding........all grand experience of dinning in Ahmedabad........groups with family, friends and business associates can have fun time as well satisfying meals at the place.

    Today I went to have lunch with my daughter. It seemed that there would be trouble in parking but Pakwan had his own parking so I did not have trouble in parking. Pakwan is a very old and very popular dining hall of Ahmedabad. Unlimited dish was wonderful. Service of staff members was also great

  • 5/5 NJ C. 3 years ago on Google
    The dinning hall only serves Gujarati thali which are of 'unlimited' category. The place is clean, properly ventilated and has a good staff. The service is extremely quick and the prices are also very reasonable! The ambience is also good and the seating is comfortable! The taste is great and so is the variety that they serve in a single Thali. The dinning hall is pure vegetarian!

  • 5/5 praful r. 2 years ago on Google
    Pakwan dining hall is very famous restaurant located in Ahmedabad. Pakwan dining hall is so much famous that highway cross road has been named after it like "pakwan chokdi". This happens when you provide quality food over the years. Taste is very good and satisfying. Staff is also active and you will response within timeline. Services are good and prices are reasonable.

  • 2/5 Parveen S. 1 year ago on Google
    Not good for a north Indian. Food quality was not good and they are putting lots of oil in everything they make. The sitting space is also very cluttered. You will find it very busy on lunch time and not worth your waiting time

👍👍 Excellent food, no matter what you choose. I loved their Mutton Roganjosh. Expectedly, the place was crowded, and the noise level was high. Some attention to sound absorbing materials in walls and ceiling would help.
