agashiye - the house of mg

this place need no introduction. which one of the city's landmark place. this popular restaurant is located in old city.
so we went this place to celebrate our first anniversary. i am happy to announce that this place isremarkable in terms of food, food experience ,hospitality, the location everything was top-notch. however it is very heavy on pocket ,it's an experience and i can guarantee you will get authentic taste of gujarati dish over here.

they have multiple restaurant among them against aghashiye south unlimited gujarati thali. where the other restaurant greenhouse alacarte menu.

we opted for gujarati thali. in the appetizer we had fresh watermelon juice which was natural and having no added sugar. in the gujarati thali we have dhokli nu shaak, parval nu shaak, bataka ni sukhi bhaji, vedhmi,dahi vada, keri no ras, samosa, dhokla, kadhi ,bhat ,dal, chhas.

the samosa and dhokla were extraordinary good. keri no ras having no added artificial flavours or milk. my favourite dish was vedhmi ( also known as puranpoli) which was having fillng of anjeer.

overall i have satisfying experience of having gujarati thali with authentic taste.also note down there that every item has proper temperature to enjoy the meal. show the juice and buttermilk were cold but not chilled so they have maintain the tempreture very well so we can enjoy all the dishes..even in the dahi vada the curd was at proper temperature.

i will highly recommend this place....

tiffin received with missing items rice container. worst service in city. i am received parcel after 3 hours and with missing foods . close this restaurant and do not making us fool.

best place to visit for gujrati thali in ahmadabad. the place is royal that too with indian traditional theme which i loved the most.

nice food quality

agashiye, a gujarati term that translates to ‘at the roof’. the restaurant is located at the top floor of the heritage hotel located in the heart of the city. the interiors of the restaurant emanate all the vibes of near independence era with large size charkha, bell metal artefacts, jute chairs, fountains with floating banana leaves and red rose petals, crafted bull heads.

at the entrance i was greeted by the staff who asked for my preference for thali out of the two available options viz. heritage classic in kansa thali and heritage grand in silver thali. while i was reading the items offered in each thali, i got perplexed and i turned to the staff for suggestions. the staff reply candidly “if you are less hungry, try the kansa thali, if you are very hungry, try the silver thali”. i laughed away and placed an order for a kansa thali.

as the name goes for ‘the heritage classic in kansa thali’, the food is served in bell metal (kansa) utensils. a royal experience begins when three servicemen approach your table each carrying different serving utensils containing varied items and each of them pours the offerings on your plate. there are 22 items included in the thali; the best ones to have are-
•bataka vada
•panodi
•rajasthani bataka
•fangavela kathol
•gujarati dal
•khichdi with ghee
•makai chat
•desi chana, tameta, keri
•mugdal siro (sweet dish)
•kesar pista ice cream

yes, i a hard time finishing all of it, and all of it was worth it.

the experience doesn’t end here. what followed to complete the lunch was a pan peti comprising pan leaves, and six quadrants in a box containing cloves, coconut and other items that would make a pan. to conclude the visit, at the table itself they brought a pitcher and bowl made of bell metal for washing hands.

as i finished dining, those three servicemen who served food, stood in a line and thanked me.

the experience at this restaurant is something i would cherish for long. thanks to the management for the amazing hospitality.

being a hardcore non-vegetarian i really had second thoughts to visit this place and spend a lot of money on a veg thali. but i convinced my self to see what it is that i’m spending 1800 bucks on.

1st convincing factor is the royal ambience, silver platters and the staff with warm smiles.

2nd convincing factor is the taste and quality of food. though a limited menu.., every thing served is at its best.

3rd factor is that the staff makes sure u taste everything and make sure u r overloaded.

no doubt spending so much on veg is still not convincing for a pure non veg lover, but it is surely something to be experienced.

quantities was very less and food was not so special. so it's not great experience as expected.

very spicy for my liking and not that tasty.

making food very slow and not responsive at all
worst worst worst delivery service. very rude staff on call .

food is good :p

the right gurjari food experience without feeling like a staged show. good old serving staff, warm and caring. the thali feels a bit expensive, but then i think that’s the exclusivity of the place. don’t miss mr modi & mr abe’s wall!

very late delivery. overpriced for an ordinary thali

pickle was not good

the experience in itself was too bad. the food was all sweet. even after asking at the booking counter as to whether the food wil be sweet which they assured will not be the case. however, it was too sweet. we paid approximately 1500 for each thali and there was nothing extraordinary in it. the better option is to spend that much and buy a kansa thali for yourself so that you can eat everyday in it. they allowed us in and while we were eating we were asked to take whatever we want on priority as they were closing we had to hurry up eating food. the ice creams served was already half melted and the chutneys served was also not good. overall a very bad experience will
not recommend to anyone. waste of time energy and resource. dhokla served was not soft seemed like they were serving the same dhokla since morning and so was the case with the batata vada. yes forgot about basundi which was just plain flavoured milk and the pan is a farce it has fennel seeds and roasted dhana dal in it. a big disappointment ☹️☹️☹️

taste was spicy
