    One of the most authentic Gujrati thali experience here. Food has good options. It starts with starters like Khasta kachori and barfi dhokla, goes on with amazing variety of curries, Gujarati dal n kadhi along with thepla / rotis and ends with yumm desi desserts like moong dal ka halwa, phirni or Ras malai added with butter milk and jal jeera. Thali is approx 460 INR per person and is quite busy in lunch and dinner peak time . Service is good and quick.

    Excellent authentic Gujarati Thali. Loved the food. Loved the service. Loved the ambience. Loved the cutlery so much πŸ™‚πŸ™‚πŸ™‚. The Gujarati style Dal Kadhi was so yum. If you've a sweet tooth, you'll fall in love with this Dal Kadhi. They do give option of choosing between Gujarati style Dal Kadhi & Rajasthani style one. And the desserts served were too good too. Rasagulla, kheer, fruit custard were so damn good. And the Farshan (Gujarati namkeens) served were awesome as well. I especially loved the mini Samosas they served. Overall amazing experience of having authentic Gujarati thali. If you're a vegetarian, you'll obviously love this Cuisine. If you're a non vegetarian, once you try this, you might even decide to become a pure vegetarian due to the lovely dishes and the many varieties of Gujarati Thali.

    Went with high expectations but did not keep it up to that. The place is very gody interior and seems dull and not happening place. They need this to change and bring up the liveliness around. Food started with serving sweets which I did not feel is normal and hungry person to get sweet first will fill up. The Vegtables as you see in the pictures are very basic and not even common. Bhindi was good the rest chana was as if like having onion soup not properly cooked. The rest was just potatoes and ghate ki sabzi. Did not see any local seasonal vegetables in plate. Dal and kadhi was nice and so was the sweets. Somehow it was lacking authenticity when they were serving thali. Servers were good and cooperative. @400 the thali lacks a lot of ingredients in it. Need to work on the menu. Quality seemed good.

    Friendly staff and always serve with a smile. Mandap restaurant is in The Express Hotel and their Gujarati thali is the best. They only serve Gujarati thali in lunch and dinner. Each day is a new menu. And it's unlimited for the vegetables, daal roti, rice and limited on sweet dishes but they serve 2 to 3 different ones. Absolutely love their food to the core and highly recommend them.

    It’s in the first floor of Express Towers. Thali costed Rs. 475 per plate incl. of taxes. There is Valet parking, although we didn’t notice it and parked our car outside. They offer only Gujarati Thali, and it’s menu slightly changes daily. You can view the price and items even before you enter the restaurant and that’s a good thing. There was chaas, sweets, curries, rotis and rice. All were unlimited. Service was quick and efficient. They politely offered anything you wanted. The cutlery was elegant, but the food was not upto the mark. Overall, it could have tasted better. Maybe Gujarati cuisine is that way, but that’s what I felt. Recommended though βœ… Visited and reviewed on 10.04.2023

    Best place to experience authentic Gujarati thaali. Ambience is really nice. Staffs are attentive and friendly. Food tastes really great. It’s safe to eat here as they maintain quality. Vegetarians must visit here. They serve 3 sweets which is really great and they also provide options with Punjabi or Gujarati Dal/Kadhi. The price is worth it.

    Mandap is located inside the Express Heights Hotel..it is a thali restaurant serving authentic food. The service is a bit stretched sometimes as the staff get quite busy. The food is alright. Given the very few choices in Baroda for food, this is a safe and clean option.

    Very old and famous gujarati restaurant in vadodara. Earlier they served around 20 to 22 items in whole thali but now they reduce thali size as well as number of items. But food taste they maintain same. I recommended to visit this place for Gujarati thali lover.

    A tasty, authentic thali, at a reasonable price considering they kept adding to your plate until you could eat no more! The restaurant has very nice decor and the staff were very polite.

    Amazing Food Best Gujarati thali I ever had. Highly appreciated and recommended for anyone visiting vadodara.

  • 3/5 Akshay S. 3 months ago on Google New
    The food quality has degraded over the years, which wasn't expected from Mandap given that they have increased their pricing drastically as well. The service is pretty average, you get better service from other similar Tahli restaurants. Ambience gives you an authentic 'Mandap' feel.

  • 3/5 Abhilash T. 10 months ago on Google
    Tried their Gujarat thali. Great vintage/ royal ambiance. Decorated with the royal Theme. Thali was ok ok..not that good 😌 . U can get more than this at Govardan Thal And Mohan Thal. U need to pay extra for Aamrash....which i personally feel is ....not great. If u want to feel the ambiance....then this place is for you. For foodie...not recommended.

  • 5/5 paresh p. 4 months ago on Google
    The thali is an excellent way to experience the local cuisine. The restaurant was clean, well staffed and service was excellent. If you want to experience the local cuisine I would recommend the restaurant. The ambience was unique and cosy.

  • 5/5 Amit D. 3 months ago on Google New
    Been going this this restaurant for years and the food quality had deteriorated a few years back but now it is back to its original taste and quality or even better. The only thing I did not like was the loud music. They used to play soft Indian classical back in the day. But other than that excellent service and food quality. Highly recommend to those who enjoy Gujarati vegetarian Thali that is not too sweet nor too spicy. Very Balanced.

  • 5/5 The Food R. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great experience here. The gujarati thali complying the word authentic. This is a most visit place for those who want to enjoy authentic gujarati cuisine. The ambience is too good and staff's nature was decent although food quality was great. Cleanness: 5/5 Interior:5/5 Food: 4/5

    Loved the Food and the experience at the restaurant. It's a must visit if you get into the town. Really has multiple options and they serve the local Gujarati food so beautifully. A 5 Star place for me😍😍

  • 5/5 oaindrila d. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food & courteous staff. Loved the Gujarati thaali and the sweets served. Nice ambience and a good restaurant to dine in with family. They serve Gujrati/ Punjabi daal & kadhi. Gujrati variety is a little sweet & Punjabi isn't. So you can try accordingly.
