Vishalla restaurant

Nihal, Karuna, and Gaurab called at the last minute to go to Sarkej Roza, but it was so last minute and since I’d been already, I didn’t go. I did go after to this restaurant with them called Vishalla. http://vishalla.com/ This traditional Gujarati place for special occasions. They had music and dancers, and a Rajasthani puppet show. They had these big planks of wood for tables and you sat on the floor for dinner. It was a thali, so men keep coming around with the different food to give you more. First they brought out all these small dishes filled with different spices, tomatoes, onion, bean sprouts, beans, and such. The “thali” (plate) was made out of these big leaves stitched together.

Then they brought out the food and put in on the leaf plates – there was aloo (potato), bindi (okra), and a few other stewed vegetables. There was raita – a thin yougurt dish, jelabhi – a bright yellow sweet that kind of looks like an onion ring, kichidi – a rice dish, and some other things. So we ate all this and then went to watch the dancing again for awhile. And after that there was still ice cream so we went to have ice cream and talked for awhile. It was a very nice dinner! But pretty expensive for Rs. 400!
