swati snacks

visitedswatisnacks with family.. had a plate of dhoklas.. patras.. which is awesome... must try their masala khichdi.. the way they serve it with fried onions garnishing is lovely.

have been going toswatisince years. favourite place for our grandparents who don't eat out very often. personally don't love gujarati snacks so all my childhood had the pizza there. the basics like sevpuri, panki, samosa chaat have been consistent over the years. the falafel is a must try. it has an indian touch to it. everything is a little overpriced but the quality is upto the mark.

swati is a casual dining restaurant offering a wide selection of eclectic vegetarian fare in a modern and elegant setting. the distinctive and innovative regional cuisine, based on traditional recipes from indian homes and mouthwatering flavours of street foods, is cooked home style with fresh ingredients and served in a simple and hygienic manner. started over 50 years ago,swaticontinues to delight its loyal customers as well as those on their first visit.

do try:
dat baati
dhan shak bhat
panki chatni
handvo
sev puri
bedai roti-shak-shrikhand
lemon grass ice cream

we went to swati's new outlate recently opened in off ambli road.
ordered baked masala khichdi, handvo, sukhdi and season's fresh baaflo. all the things were mind blowing.
we ended up with fresh real alphanso mango ice cream.
a must visit and try all the dishes there...swatiyou rock... will definitely come again with family....keep it up..

whenever i eat out my first preference is a place that's known for its non-veg.swatisnacks is one big exception to that rule. in the past eight years, i have visited it in almost all my trips to ahmedabad. i have liked almost everything i have tried in the menu. my personal favourites are panki chatni, baked masala khichdi, veg falafel, pizza, and watermelon juice.

be prepared for a wait during weekends and holidays but the service is prompt. a must visit if one is in ahmedabad and wants to try some vegetarian food/snacks.

'let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food' and for men like me, food is an essential element for my life.

this was fifth visit to ahmedabad in as many months and i have only heard praises about theswatisnacks and this time i ensured i am able to indulge in food offerings fromswatisnacks.

the entire vibe inswatisnacks is of euphoria, aesthetically pure, service fast and crowd a bit aristocratic. after gruelling three hours of meetings, we were exhausted, famished and raring to go and eat. luckily there wasn't a waiting time when we approached the restaurant. on the onset, the menu is compact however all the dishes looks unique and we were not able to make which one to start with. our food trail involved the following:-

dal bhatti churma- three marwaris in gujarat trying to savour dal bhatti churma. this is a very large portion of dal bhatti is served with small ounce of churma accompanied by a very spicy garlic chutney and grated onions. the churma is fantastic, bhatti good however dal is a bit of dampener. it was a bit high on salt which couldn't mellowed by the sweet churma.

dhabeli - this dish was great to begin with. stuffed with smashed potatoes mixed with pomegranate seeds, spiced to good extent so it doesn't taste sweet. served with mint chutney, the taste is good and different from the varieties available in mumbai. there is no seasoning of sev and groundnuts yet this is beautiful dish.

baked khichdi - khichdi served with an international twist. the khichdi is baked like lasagne and have fried onions for cheese sprinkler and tastes phenomenal. how can a simple dish be transformed to something extraordinary.

samosa chat- we were biased solely towards samosa and any adulteration is met with critical eyes. the samosa is brilliant in taste while the concept of having dahi is fine till the time it is not entirely soaked. once soaked, the chat is not for the faint hearted.

swati snacks had been good and would love to visit the restaurant often.

i have had some yummy food atswatisnacks in mumbai and have tried their pizzas and traditional gujarati dishes......same can be said about their ahmedabad outlet as well. my friend and i had dahi vada, paneer lifafa and sev puri and finished it with seasonal icecream. service is decent and ambience is good.

though an unpopular opinion, it's mine and i still feel it. it's the only place my grandmother eats at, but still i don't wish to review it 5 stars.
i'll be very honest - it's very expensive for the portion size it serves. they ingredients may be good, no doubt, but they're not exotic/gourmet.

plus being a gujarati, i definitely feel that the pricing can be cheaper. it's not thatswatihas an ambience that i'm paying for, right ? canteen benches and yellow plastic plates.

won't deny that the food is fairly decent. some good items better than others.

if you are looking for hygienic healthy and tasty restaurant in ahmedabad,swatisnacks is the one go to place for everyone.
they bring out authentic cultural favourites on the table, ranging from gujrati, maharashtrian and parsi too.. chaas, sugarcane juice are also must haves and so full of fresh flavours.
must visit in ahmedabad.

well if you've been to ahmedabad you know after manek chowk this is the place to be during the day time.swatisnacks as recommended to be by my friend has a awesome way to treat you. i went in with their dal baati which was quite a scrumptious piece of lunch and managed to pack me up in no time at all.

if you're in ahmedabad and want to taste authentic gujarati food,swatiis the place for you. each and every dish they serve is full of traditional flavours, with a touch of fusion sometimes. their service is the fastest i've seen anywhere and the ambience is quite good too. they have a lot of variety in savoury and sweet dishes. some of my favourites would be the panki chutney, baked masala khichdi, falafel and their absolutely mouthwatering ice-creams (coffee orange and lemongrass) !!!

craving for gujarati snacks ? thenswatisnacks is one of the best place you can ever be to.. i love the all time favourite of every foodie panki chutney which is steamed .. i’m a big fan of methi dhokla as well as the handvo .. i’ve been going there since few years and these dishes are my fav .. also the sev puri and pani puri are amazing .. still hungry then should try the bajri rotla with shak .. all other dishes are also amazing along with the khichdi

being a foodie, we love to try new places. and hence we decided to visit the very popular and super famousswatisnacks. it was raining heavily during our visit. luckily it wasn't crowded and we got seated quickly. 

tried the highly recommended panki, kesar pista ice cream, dhokla and sukhdi. 

it was served quickly and looked pretty tempting. taste wise it was amazing. loved the simple dishes with super awesome taste. the high ratings are well jusitified. 

the only let down being its price. 

so, overall its a great place for snacks once in a while.

swati - 2 opens at bopal ambli road in a much bigger avtaar! its on google map!!

yes the same menu! same small portions. high priced. yes all that!! but when it is swati, the quality is top notch! this is not yet on zomato but the place was full & there was waiting too!! people who loveswatiwill love it!!

my favourite dish has been bajri khichu but yesterday this had competition. bedai roti with aloo sukhi bhaji & athela marcha chutney & home made shrikhand on the side took my heart away!! 💜💜

this is an amazing place that serves gujarati snacks along with a few other regional snacks. it's been there for i suppose more than 1.5 decades and it's still going strong. and i love this place. though the rates are a little on a higher side, but the taste of the food is just amazing and it has been consistent over these 15 years or more. i couldn't find a reason to complain. and, if you visit it during lunch hours, you'll have to wait for sometime as the place is always buzzing with a lot of customers.

we ordered

panki: this is one of my favourites and a signa6dish forswatisnacks. you might not find this kind of dish elsewhere. even if you do, i'm sure it won't be as yummy. though it's a very simple dish where one feels nothing can go wrong, it's not so easy. panki is a batter of besan ka atta mixed with curd which is then spread in bana leaf and then steamed. as i said it's a simple dish but when it's served with bharela marcha and green chutney, it tastes outta this world. it deserves a 5/5 🌟

sabudana khichdi: i liked this sabudana khichdi which was served with curd which was delicious and singdana ni dheeli chutney which was also good. but it could have been more awesome. i'd give it a 4/5 🌟

thalipith: oh this was again another amazing dish. this is maharashtra's staple item. it's a paratha made of mixed flours of dals n jowar etc. it was served with green chutney, lachko mag ni dal, n bharela marcha. it was yummmm. 5/5 🌟

chola methi na dhokla: just like panki, this is another signature dish by swati. the dhoklas are served with fresh grated coconut & coriander on top & khatti kadhi. the dhoklas are just melt in the mouth. you won't find bitter taste in these dhoklas (coz it does have methi in it). and they're just amazing. i'm at a loss of words. the khatti kadhi is infused with onions & has a prominent taste of garlic and when drizzled over dhoklas, both these things taste outta this world. i've started drooling over it all over again. i'd say it was 5/5 🌟

we also ordered chhash n sugarcane juice which were really yummy (sorry not in snaps :/) it's 5/5 🌟

go visit this place. i'm sure you'll like it.
