Manek Chowk: Ahmedabad, Gujarat | Night food market

Travel for food to Ahmedabad, Gujarat is a Gastronomical experience. I started my Ahmedabad Gujarat food journey from Manek Chowk.
Manek chowk in Ahmedabad is a jewellery market that turns into night food bazar after 8 pm and this street food continues to be there till 2 am.
It's hard to avoid eating street food at Manek Chowk, There is so much of crowd there in weekends that you may not get chair to sit but yes if you want to avoid crowd go there on week day and that too at 8 pm. Foodies start going there after 9 pm or 10 pm.
Following are some of the food joints visited by me during this journey of Manek chowk.
1. Azad sev wala: I was truly impressed by the quality of sev at this shop. Price mentioned in the video.
2. Kandoi Bhogilal Mulchand: Very popular sweet shop in Ahmedabad, this brand has multiple shops but this one is the oldest.
3. Mahalaxmi pav bhaji: You can't miss this shop at Manek chowk: Nice texture and good taste of pav bhaji. I was more impressed by the pav served with the bhaji.
4. Shri kailash Pav bhaji and pulao: I enjoyed Tawa pulao at this shop, while they were serving Pav Bhaji as well.
5. Asharfilal kulfi: Nice taste, they have chain of outlets in Ahmedabad. I enjoyed Chiku kulfi in its traditional avatar.
6. Balan Dosa: Very famous, i found it hard to decide which one to go for out of 50 Dosa. USP is - cooking through traditional method. Side served Masala was very nice but i did not enjoy sambar and chutney at this shop.
7. Bombay Gulalwadi: I ordered manchurian at this stall, i guess this could have been better but that's ok.
8. Manek sandwich: This was a great innovation on sandwich, i was surprised to see ice cream in a sandwich, together with jam and pineapple. This was superb taste.
Should you have any experiences on food of Manek chowk, please write back, i will wait for your comments.

Hello Sir. I am from ahmedabad and working in government sector & my husband is a doctor. So normally we do not get time to watch TV. However, during 1st COVID-19 Lockdown, I was randomly watching Ahmedabad street food and this was your 1st video which we saw during lockdown. After watching this, we (particularly my husband) got more interested in watching your videos. We watched almost your all videos. You made our Lockdown more beautiful 😊 You are a very good person. Keep making such videos 👍 May God bless you 🙏 And the last line which you speak in your each video is really really ❤️ touching and that is, "Thanks for your time" 👌 Means you value Time a lot. Very good. 🤗

[@kotaknirav2]

Sir, being a North Indian person, you understand the difference between Pav Bhaji of Mumbai and Ahmedabad is commendable. The way you knew that Patta Gobi is not used in Mumbai, but in Ahmedabad. You are one of those rare food bloggers who understand and ingredients and analyse the food cultures.

[@daviddiaz1349]

I love Gujarati food. The flavors are very well balanced. Especially good for vegetarians.

[@visa2explore]

you are so right.....

[@AjayDabhi]

Being a gujarati myself, and "vegetarian" never tasted eggs or meat. As far as I know, some English author in 18th century, when visited gujarat - wrote, "land of people that do not eat anything that contain blood". It's the only place in the world where big food brands like pizza hut and dominos turned all vegetarian.

[@smartgirl8010]

Sir, I feel very glad to see ur Ahemdabad video i daily see ur channel that when u upload new video Sir i am really very impressed by ur video representation, ur way of hosting and ur humble and sweet behaviour i have no words for ur appreciation. i wish u get more and more success in ur Life as well as in ur career because u deserve it I say this from my bottom of my heart. Sir, I am very much sure that very soon u get approached from TV channels for hosting there Traveling food show. " I will wait for that show." Sir my humble suggestion for the betterment of our channel i say our channel because by ur videos I am very much attached with VISA 2 EXPLORE that i feel this is our channel, and we all make it more successful although most successful channel i genuinely thinks ur all subscribes feels same as i think that VISA 2 EXPLORE is our own channel. Sir my suggestion is pls review delhi national/international airport inside food joints with there prices if possible because i thinks no youtube channel has review on airport food shops yet. when i come from London i eat on such food joint and they permit me to take pics also so sir if u visit somewhere try to review inside airport food joints.

[@visa2explore]

Thanks a lot.. I am so much impressed by your comment especially you mentioned our channel such a nice gesture... Food shops at airport sounds good...

you are right but this is what is available at Manek chowk... you will see more about Gujarat food as we go.... your point is still valid

I go to manek chowk once in a month and never tried Chinese a single time because manek chowk is not for chinese. Moreover, I wan to add that you missed ghughra sandwich and jini dosa which are the most delicious food in manek chowk.
