Swati Snacks

Ahmedabad (Amdavad)


This no-nonsense canteen-style place is excellent for trying traditional Gujarati and Rajasthani snacks, such as panipuri (round, hollow, crisp dumplings filled with tamarind, masala, potato, onion and chickpeas), panki (rice pancakes in banana leaf) and gatta subzi (gram-flour dumplings in spicy gravy) with masala roti. All are vegetarian. Wash down your meal with a sugarcane juice.
