agashiye - the house of mg

this is probably one of the best thalis i have ever had. they have found the right balance of making thefoodflavourful and taste homely. service was top-notch and portion sizes were really good as well. one piece of advice - skip a meal before this one and you’ll truly be able to enjoy the meal.

excellentfoodfor family

shameless company. giving thefoodwhich was insufficient for my kid. forget the adult. can i really talk to them? very mean hearted company. seriously would tell this to everyone in my group & facebook.

one of the highly-rated places in ahmedabad. the ambience of this place will surely make you fall in love. when it comes tofoodi would say they provide rich authentic food.

the price is a little high. i got it's a heritage site converted into a hotel and has a high maintenance cost. but, i think the amount they are charging for thali, there are limited choices offoodoptions.

if you want to experience a heritage place with decentfoodthen you must visit this place. plus, in the covid time, they do temperature checks, provide sanitizers and staff also wear masks which is really appreciated. would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

taste was awesome andfoodwas superb.

loved the food, the service, the ambience.
oh it was all so good. thefoodkept coming and we kept eating, it was soo much like home cookedfoodbut with that epic taste like no matter how much you eat you just feel like “ehh, maybe just one more bite”
had the handvo, dahi vada, muthiya, sev bhaji, dum aaloo, coconut and kesar drink and all of it was yumm!
i swear we were pressed for stomach space or we would have tried the entire menu.

special mention for the decor, lighting, furniture, everything was perfect!

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,foodexperience ,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....

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’, thefoodis 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.

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

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

the right gurjarifoodexperience 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!

the experience in itself was too bad. thefoodwas all sweet. even after asking at the booking counter as to whether thefoodwil 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 ☹️☹️☹️

thefoodwas very nice, as expected from agashiye. just one concern, there was a cold pan and water mentioned in the list but we didn’t get that.

agashiye is simply wonderful. i think anyone who comes to ahmedabad should go there at least once. thefoodwas delicious and the ambience was even better. 

the building itself is gorgeous and most things seem to be placed with thought, even the tiled floors are pretty.

the wait staff were sweet and engaging, they even indulged me in conversation about stoves and method of cooking.

thefoodis gujarati, and i liked it even though i normally don't. 
 i visited agashiye with friends that crossed multiple generations and lifestyles, everyone loved it.

if nothing else, agashiye is an experience, as i've mentioned before, is just wonderful.
