Sasuji Dining Hall

Aug 22, 2008

Too Fast Too Frenzy

Living up to the Gujarati tradition the name suggests grandeur.
The way Sasuji (Mother-in-law) would like to treat her son-in-law.
Unfortunately the table turns upside down after your experience.
There is no proper facility to park your vehicle. You will be like an army Jawan who is trained to walk four miles before he gets to drink some water. Similarly you will have to park your car on some extreme end of C G road and walk back up to this place half drained of your energy and excitement to have a good meal.
Since this place happens to be very popular amongst the Gujarati Thali lovers, you will have to wait for a while before you get a table for yourself especially on weekends.
To worsen the situation they don't even have a proper waiting list execution system
The waiting areas for guests is too small to accommodate the people waiting for their turn and sadly does not even have proper cooling or ventilation which makes things horrible in the summer afternoons of Ahmedabad where 42-44 degrees is the normal temperature.
The elevator does not have a capacity of more then 5 people at a time which makes things difficult for the aged and people in large number of groups. Imagine yourself in a group of more than 20-30 people, starving because you didn't have proper breakfast also to get the full worth of your money you are going to pay for the Thali.
The real nightmare starts after you have settled down on the table. You will encounter herds of misbehaving stewards who flock by your side in huge numbers to pour in all they have to offer, half of it in your Thali and half of it on your clothes.
Absolutely contradictory to our tradition of 'Atithi Devo Bhava', where a guest is compared to God.
They serve traditional varieties like their counterparts: Rotli - Thepla - Bhakhri, Kadhi - Dal, one Punjabi curry along with a Gujarati vegetable. One or more preparation of Farsan. Two or more sweets which are generally good for all you sweet tooths and the normal accompaniments of Papad, Pickle and Butter milk.
The food is mediocre as far as the taste and make is concerned.
They also have a banquet hall which has a capacity to accommodate 300 odd people.
