THE plants sway gently in the breeze. Easing back into the cushioned wicker chair, you wait for a scrumptious dinner under the starlit sky. Leaving the day’s stress behind, you enjoy the good company and conversation as a plate of steaming food is placed on the softly lit table. A great way to have dinner, isn’t it ? what, then, are waiting for ? Head for Aadhar restaurant at Iscon Arcade on C.G.Road.

Open from11 am to 11 pm, Aadhar offers you a variety of snacks. From dudhi muthiya to badshahi khichadi and from bajri wada to patra, you’ll find everything here. You can also try the bajri, makai rotlas or sink your teeth into the nariyal kothmir patties. For those who do not want the traditional fare, the restaurant also offers baked cannelloni and pizza apart from the usual range of sandwiches and ice-creams.

If you need something substantial to hush up the hunger pangs, you are heading in the right direction. On offer from noon to 3 pm is the swad thali (Rs 109 plus tax). With snack, sharbat, roti, subzis, dal, rice, and ice-creams, these platters are more than enough to fill any stomach. The offer is also available in the evening as mahaprasad thali (Rs 235 plus tax) with more than 21 items in the menu. You can also dine here every day as the thali menu changes daily.

Those who do not want to follow the fixed menu can always eat a la carte. And ,there ‘s no need to rush through the meal. The traditionally attired waiter ensure that your meal is a fine experience in dinning. “ We want our guests to relax and linger over their meal. Only then can they truly enjoy their food. As our menu states atithi deco bhava, and then, we refuse to rush our guests,” says Govind patel of Aadhar.
