Restaurant Review - Vandanam (South Bopal, Ahmedabad)

It was in my last kitty when I had a chance to visit this newly opened eating joint. The last-minute change of venue took our kitty group in front of this newly opened restaurant. In the last few years, South Bopal has seen many outlets serving South Indian cuisines. Vandanam is the latest addition to this ever-increasing eateries. My first impression was a feeling of positivity. Seating was okay, not crumpled. The decor is simplistic and minimalistic. It is a buffet restaurant with 20+ dishes on the offering. You will find popular dishes like dosa, idli, vada, sambhar, and rasam along with Malabar paranthas and accompaniments like coconut chutney etc. The welcome drink was refreshing. The dessert is Kesari, a permanent fixture in all South Indian cuisine restaurants. And all this for a price of 299 per head. Isn't it worth trying? As the number of dishes is small, I could taste almost all. And I loved this approach of fewer dishes and less confusion . This resulted in effortle

Indian Cuisine VS American Cuisine

When people visit distant lands, they bring their culture to the new land. This is how the fusion of cultures happens. Since Petpuja dot com is all about food, we will explore the fusion and differences between Indian and American cuisines. Indians are the biggest diaspora in the USA. Indian cuisine is known for its diverse and flavourful dishes. They use a wide range of spices, herbs, and vegetables. Popular dishes include butter chicken, biryani, samosas, and dal makhani. These are some of the most popular Indian dishes across the globe. Indian cooking also often involves traditional cooking techniques such as slow cooking and the use of a tandoor oven. Vegetarianism is widely practised in India, leading to a rich tradition of vegetarian dishes like chana masala, rajma-chawal, palak-paneer, aloo gobhi etc. Indian food can be enjoyed mild or spicy and is commonly served with rice or flatbread such as chapati, parantha or naan.

Restaurant Review - Purani Delhi, South Bopal, Ahmedabad

I was driving through one of the by-lanes of South Bopal when this signage of " Purani Delhi " caught my attention. It was a new restaurant in this area (I live nearby) and there are not many restaurants in this side of the city. We have plenty of small eateries and pick-up places, and any new eating place is always welcome. :) This is started by a well-known food chain Gwalia . Gwalia is reinventing itself from the sweet mart and snack set-up to full-fledged restaurants. Some times ago, they have opened a South Indian buffet restaurant, Vannakam in Ahmedabad. I had been to that place once, and I remember the experience. The staff, ambience, menu and food, all were excellent. One fine evening, in my late evening romantic drives with RB , I thought of trying out this new place. The name was so tempting and I could feel watering in my mouth thinking about those Delhi flavours. I am a diehard foodie of Delhi flavours. It was 6.45 PM. As I entered the place, I liked the sc
