Gordhan Thal opened in the year 2001 is the go-to spot for a proper Gujarati thali experience in Amdavad without burning a hole in your wallet. At ₹425 per adult and ₹300 for children for a fully unlimited thali, the value is outstanding. Generous quantity, warm and welcoming ambience that feels authentic rather than touristy. Highlights of the unlimited refills: aamras, buttermilk, and paneer — they keep coming, and you won't say no. Great location makes it an easy add to any Amdavad itinerary. Come hungry. Leave very happy.

Visited Ahmedabad with family and wanted to try an authentic Gujarati thali. After checking Google and ChatGPT suggestions, we shortlisted Gordhan Thal. We reached around 2 PM and were surprised to see a waiting time of 30+ minutes. We decided to wait, but one thing felt quite odd — the waiting system isn’t strictly first-come-first-serve. Instead, they prioritize based on table size availability. For example, a group of 9 may get seated earlier than smaller groups even if they arrived later. This could definitely be improved. That said, once seated, the experience completely changed. The food was excellent — well-balanced flavors, not overly spicy or heavy, and very comfortable on the stomach even after a full meal. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Service was quick and efficient despite the crowd. The staff ensures you try everything and keeps serving generously, which adds to the overall experience. Overall, a great place for Gujarati thali in Ahmedabad. Price: ₹425 + taxes ⭐ Worth the wait for the food!

Gordhan Thal is among best known places with a traditional Gujarati Thai. The food is tasty and delicious. Service is awesome. Great experience of relishing the Gujarati Thali. It's a different matter that the thali is a calorie bomb! I was here to conduct an experiential Gastronomy Tour for participants of a conference. :)

I love Thali and try out new places in every town of Gujarat when I visit. Even at Ahmedabad been to many places and this place will be on top of the list for me. There was quite a bit of a rush. But we were provided a seat within 10 mins, in-spite of being a large group of 8 people. The food was fantastic and the service was amazing. I mean the follow up to make you eat can definitely make you over eat. Must visit place if you are looking for a Thali

If you’re looking for a true authentic Gujarati dining experience, Gordhan Thal is easily one of the best places in the city. The moment you enter, the entire atmosphere gives a proper gaon wala vibe that feels warm, traditional, and comforting. The seating arrangement is spacious and well organized, allowing you to enjoy your meal peacefully without feeling crowded. The interiors beautifully reflect Gujarati culture. One of the main highlights is the large wall painting of Lord Krishna lifting Govardhan Parvat, which adds a divine and artistic touch to the space. Along with that, the presence of cow-themed elements enhances the rural village feel even more. The staff is extremely welcoming and attentive. They serve with genuine warmth and make sure your thali is always full. The unlimited food concept is perfectly executed, and you are encouraged to enjoy everything without hesitation. Talking about the food, every item in the thali tastes authentic and homely. From sabzis and dal to kadhi, rotis, farsan, and sweets, everything is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. It’s not just about eating, it feels like a complete cultural experience. A perfect place for family dinners or anyone who wants to enjoy real Gujarati flavors in a traditional setting. Definitely one of the top spots in Ahmedabad for an authentic thali experience.
